Why Are Reviews So Important?
Many potential clients find a Realtor by searching online, and will reach out to more than one prospective Realtor at a time. During their search they will stumble on many Realtors with 50 reviews and some with only 5 reviews. More times or not they’re going to pick the Realtor who has more reviews. Even a personal referral is likely going to search your name online before reaching out.

We recommend you request a review from your client via text. The response rate is almost always higher. To request from your client:
