The data that RateMyAgent relies on to calculate real estate agent and brokerage statistics are gathered in three ways.
Understanding how RateMyAgent sources and manages listing data is essential for creating an optimized platform experience for agents and brokerages.
RateMyAgent collects supplementary listing and sale information from any sources freely available in the public domain. This information will obviously not include any off-market transaction details or properties that were publicly advertised without a complete address. Publicly available data must undergo strict verification to ensure accuracy. Verification ensures that transactions and listings meet the platform’s standards for accuracy and completeness, emphasizing actionable data. Additionally, this data lacks details of off-market transactions or incomplete listings, such as those missing full addresses, and requires user verification to maintain its reliability.
RateMyAgent has partnerships with several Multiple Listing Services and Associations across the country. Through these partnerships, we obtain data by direct IDX or RESO Web API. Email us if you would like to help us partner with your MLS provider.Specific partnerships include organizations like Georgia MLS and First Multiple Listing Service, Inc., which integrate region-specific MLS data into the platform. These integrations leverage standard APIs, including IDX and RESO Web API, to automate data transfer. However, some information such as agent-specific notes may not be included.
RateMyAgent allows agents to manually submit listings from the Properties section of their user profileAgents and administrators can also leverage Data Feed software such as MyDesktop, PortPlus, and Multiarray to ensure listings are up-to-date. The platform further integrates with CRM systems to allow automatic syncing of updates with RateMyAgent, streamlining administrative tasks for both agents and office administrators.
