Just as the housing market dramatically shifted in the last year, the best methods for attracting new clients have changed significantly for real estate agents. Unlike the days of printed ads, property books, or \u201cFor Sale\u201d signs, home buyers and sellers look to real estate agent reviews to find the most trustworthy agent. If you\u2019re not actively requesting reviews you\u2019re losing potential new customers to competitors that do.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that purchasing or selling a home is one of the biggest financial transactions a consumer will make in their lifetime, prospects will want to make sure that your real estate business is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and dependable.

Reviews validate your business and help home buyers and sellers feel more confident in working with you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prospects will seek out reviews on general sites such as Google and Facebook. They\u2019ll also seek out industry-specific sites such as Zillow, Realtor, and Trulia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Reviews increase search ranking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reviews heavily influence local search ranking for real estate agents. It comes down to trust. Ask yourself, who would a consumer trust more &#8211; an agent telling them that your agency is the best or a past customer who says the same? We tend to trust what others say about a business more than what a business says about itself, and so does Google. Google\u2019s algorithm measures how trustworthy your company is by \u201creading\u201d what customers are saying about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When lots of users mention your name online, search engine algorithms take that into account when they\u2019re ranking sites.&nbsp;If you&#8217;re interested in learning more about how reviews impact your search ranking, listen to the quick 8-minute audio guide below &#8211; otherwise, read on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone Googles \u2018real estate agents near me,\u2019 local real estate agents who have a high number of online reviews will appear more highly on the search engine results page (SERP) than agencies with fewer or no reviews.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reviews-increase-search-ranking-1024x536.png\" alt=\"Real estate agent reviews\" class=\"wp-image-35421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reviews-increase-search-ranking-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reviews-increase-search-ranking-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reviews-increase-search-ranking-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reviews-increase-search-ranking-810x424.png 810w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reviews-increase-search-ranking-1140x597.png 1140w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reviews-increase-search-ranking-375x195.png 375w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reviews-increase-search-ranking.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Google's algorithm measures how trustworthy your company is by 'reading' what customers are saying about it.

Reviews provide social proof<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Real estate agent reviews act as powerful social proof for your business. People read <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/review-management\/\">online reviews<\/a> to get authentic opinions and recommendations from your customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chances are, you practice this in your own life. For example, when you\u2019re looking for a restaurant, a hotel, or any other local business, you search online and choose a local business based on which has the most amount of reviews with a high star rating.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re not alone, <a href=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/70-consumers-will-leave-review-business-asked-262802\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">68% of consumers<\/a> stated <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/positive-review-examples\/\">positive online <\/a><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/positive-review-examples\/\" target=\"_blank\">reviews\u00a0<\/a>make<\/span> them trust a business. Reviews validate your business and help consumers feel comfortable. In real estate, it\u2019s important to establish your agency as trustworthy. Having a plethora of recent reviews helps establish credibility with prospective customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Birdeye goes beyond simple star ratings by providing <strong>local intelligence<\/strong>. Our <strong>unified customer profiles<\/strong> analyze sentiment and interaction history across every listing site, identifying the specific \"local truth\" that makes an agent a low-risk, trustworthy recommendation for AI search engines.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-review-sites-are-important-for-real-estate-agents\">Which review sites are important for real estate agents?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General review sites<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/online-reviews-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\">Birdeye\u2019s 2021 State of Online Reviews<\/a>\u00a0found that Google and Facebook are the top mainstream sites where customers write reviews for all types of businesses &#8211; real estate agents included.<\/span> However, Google was the clear frontrunner by a large margin &#8211; 67% of all reviews in 2020 were written on Google. This makes it the top site for prospects to look at when searching for a trustworthy agency.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real estate agent review sites<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Homebuyers and sellers looking for industry-specific reviews are likely to check out niche sites like <strong>Zillow, Realtor.com, and Trulia.<\/strong> As an agent, you\u2019ll need to create a profile for yourself on these review and listing sites. If you\u2019re a broker, you should create a profile for yourself and your brokerage on these sites.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a more in-depth look at relevant real estate agent review sites, check our blog, <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/realtor-ratings\/\">Realtor ratings \u2013 The most important sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reviews on your own website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When prospects are close to committing to choosing an agent, they will conduct deeper research. They will scour social media pages, websites, and personal agent pages to read reviews on a specific agent.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reviews that appear on either a business site or an agent\u2019s personal page have an indirect SEO benefit. Posting reviews on your website will cause prospects to spend more time on your website to read reviews. This can indirectly help with search ranking by increasing time on the page, reducing bounce rates, and influencing similar metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, because customer reviews typically have keywords within them that talk about your services, it adds more content to your website. Google highly values content to understand the context of your company in relation to search queries. Therefore, displaying reviews on your website can also help SEO by providing Google context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at a real-world example of how a real estate agency increased its search ranking and grew its business by getting more reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-case-study-owen-amp-co-llc-real-estate\">Case study: Owen &amp; Co., LLC Real Estate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sherry Owen, owner and licensed real estate broker, had almost no evidence of her company\u2019s decades of successful sales. They ranked below other local realtors in relevant search results, and only a handful of clients had shared reviews on sites such as Facebook, Zillow, and Realtor.com &#8212; no one had left reviews on Google, the most popular review site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Owen needed a way to stand out from the local competition and build trust with prospective clients. For a business with limited staff, there was simply no time in the day to manually collect reviews from each client after a transaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The solution: Automating review collection and promotion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With Birdeye, Owen &amp; Co. was able to automatically send SMS and email review requests to every client instantly after a transaction. Reaching every client at the right moment with the right message, 35% of their email requests and 16% of their SMS messages are converted into reviews on <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/review-sites\/\">third-party sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Birdeye also scanned all of Owen &amp; Co.\u2019s listings across 70+ consumer sites and business directories and fixed all inconsistencies in real time. Additionally, Owen used Birdeye\u2019s Review Marketing tool to automatically promote her best reviews to their pages on Google, Facebook, and Twitter. They also embedded a review feed on their company website powered by Birdeye, so visitors could easily scroll through recent testimonials from happy clients.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Automating-review-collection-and-promotion-1024x536.png\" alt=\"Real estate agent reviews\" class=\"wp-image-35422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Automating-review-collection-and-promotion-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Automating-review-collection-and-promotion-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Automating-review-collection-and-promotion-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Automating-review-collection-and-promotion-810x424.png 810w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Automating-review-collection-and-promotion-1140x597.png 1140w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Automating-review-collection-and-promotion-375x195.png 375w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Automating-review-collection-and-promotion.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-results\">The results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Owen &amp; Co. doubled their overall review volume in just one year with Birdeye\u2019s automated <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/review-generation\/\">review generation <\/a>campaigns.
