The RateMyAgent Experience
Every verified review on RateMyAgent is linked to a specific property transaction, ensuring that the feedback comes from real buyers and sellers. This also allows you to view key property details - such as location and number of bedrooms - so you can find reviews relevant to your own real estate journey. With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyse submission data and behavioural patterns for potential anomalies. Suspicious reviews may be rejected outright or escalated for further scrutiny by our internal team.
Transparency and fairness are core to how RateMyAgent works. While it’s sometimes assumed that only positive reviews appear on our platform, that’s not the case.
Only clients involved in an actual transaction with an agent can leave a review. This helps ensure authenticity and prevents fake or anonymous feedback. Agent's have no control over what’s written - every review, whether positive or critical, is published and remains visible.
Through verified reviews and price satisfaction insights, we highlight top-performing agents who consistently exceed client expectations. All agents can request and collect reviews for free, and subscription status has no impact on rankings or award eligibility. Our Agent of the Year Awards and platform rankings are based solely on verified client feedback and performance. By celebrating excellence fairly and transparently, we help consumers find the best agents with confidence.
