"Our agents rave about the dotloop/Reach150 integration! When Reach150 sends the automated testimonial request on the agents' behalf as soon as the transaction closes in dotloop, this helps the agent check off one more task on their post-closing to-do list! They just set it and forget it!" shared Rachel Stadler, Vice President of Career Development Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Alliance Real Estate.

Lone Wolf and RankMyAgent Partner to Eliminate the Guessing Game When Choosing an Agent
  Cambridge, ON (February 24, 2016) — Today, Lone Wolf Real Estate Technologies (“Lone Wolf”), the North American leader in real estate solutions and services, announces a new partnership with RankMyAgent that will streamline the post-transaction review process for home buyers and sellers working with a real estate professional. When it comes to choosing a real estate agent, there is certainly no shortage in options. Every corner a buyer or seller turns, they are greeted by a new face campaigning for their business. With so many options, how do you know where to turn? For many, it often comes down to a game of eenie, meenie, miny, moe. With so many unknowns, this far-too popular method of choosing an agent often leads to a more stressful real estate experience. A Toronto, Ontario-based company is eliminating the need for this guessing game with their platform, RankMyAgent. Designed to facilitate the real estate process, RankMyAgent connects homeowners with highly rated, user-endorsed real estate agents and resources. The recent partnership with Lone Wolf, puts this platform directly into the hands of potential users – a win-win for agents and home buyers and sellers. “The prominence of the internet in the home buying and selling process makes it crucial for real estate professionals to have positive online profiles and reviews,” says Brian Friemel, Executive Vice President, Brokerage Services at Lone Wolf. “The opportunity to connect our brokerages with survey providers eliminates the need for duplicate data entry and reduces work for the agent. Ease of use for agents and value to buyers and sellers are top priorities for our Partner Services department.” When a transaction is completed with a closed date, RankMyAgent survey invitations are automatically triggered to send via email to the home buyer or seller on the agent’s behalf. The Application Programming Interface (API) integration between Lone Wolf’s back office management platform, brokerWOLF, and RankMyAgent makes that possible. When a buyer or seller receives the email they are able to quickly submit a review which will assist other buyers and sellers and benefit the agent. “Lone Wolf’s back office management system is an invaluable engine that will amplify RankMyAgent’s strong growth trajectory.

The number of reviews has nearly doubled since January 2014 and exceeded one million reviews at the end of January 2015. "Reviews have become incredibly important to consumers," said Amy Bohutinsky, Zillow chief marketing officer. "We know home buyers are often starting their home search online – and reviews are playing a crucial part in the selection process as they search for the real estate professionals to help them, whether they are looking for an agent, mortgage expert or other real estate professional. Zillow offers an easy place for consumers to search through a pool of extremely qualified candidates using feedback from other consumers." "My reviews on Zillow serve as an interview with prospective clients without being there in person," said Samer Kuraishi, senior vice president of A-K Real Estate in Washington, D.C. and a Zillow Premier Agent with 360 reviews. "There's no better testimonial than your peers or customers providing feedback about your service. Reviews also help showcase your personality and strengths and help demonstrate that you want to be part of this meaningful transaction. Reviews have become an important part of our marketing." Zillow created a moderation process to ensure the reviews on Zillow are high quality and credible. In order to post a review, every reviewer must have a Zillow account and must specify what service the agent provided. Finally, all reviews are screened through proprietary Zillow fraud filters and read by a dedicated Zillow team. In December 2014, Zillow made all reviews available to agents, brokers and MLSs to publish on their sites through Zillow Tech Connect: Reviews. Now agents and brokers can showcase the same reviews found on Zillow on their personal websites for free. Companies and brokerages interested in joining Zillow Tech Connect: Reviews can email techpartnerships[at]zillow.com for more information. About Zillow, Inc. Zillow, Inc.

Reviews Radically Reshaping Real Estate?
Austin, TX, October 30, 2014 -- Nearly nine out of 10 of people now trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. The New York Times went so far as to say, "If you provide a service or sell a product and you are not reviewed, you might as well not exist." More specific to real estate, a recent survey from Google shows two in three customers "researched prospective real estate agents extensively online prior to working with them." According to Real Estate Confronts Agents Reviews, a White Paper released today by T3 Experts, these are among the primary reasons online reviews are significantly affecting the income of top agents and teams. Real Estate Confronts Agents Reviews summarizes several years of research, in addition to the results of a survey T3 Experts conducted earlier this year. Other highlights from the White Paper: 88 percent have used online reviews; nearly 9 out of 10 people now trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations, and 15 percent search online for a local business "almost every day" (this statistic was 7 percent in 2013). "The survey results show that agent reviews are increasingly affecting who wins and who loses in real estate, and to a fairly dramatic extent, " said T3 Experts Co-Founder and New York Times best-selling author Stefan Swanepoel. Other key findings from the survey: while agents think reviews are important, most are not generating sales from them; agents need help understanding, implementing and executing strategies that lead to transactions; Social Media sites showed surprising strength and can be legitimate sources of leads; portals (primarily Zillow and, to a lesser extent, Trulia) play a crucial role in in this process, and "top lead generators" outperform typical agents by a factor of as much as nearly 3X (and that performance gap widens at higher levels of production). "One of the most significant trends affecting business today is the rise of the 'information-empowered consumer,'" added Swanepoel. "People want information on everything, all the time. And ratings and reviews are a large part of this trend. To show how far this trend has evolved, consider this: the online taxi service Uber now lets their drivers rate their passengers, and they share those ratings across their system. Stop and think about that: Uber drivers are rating people at how well they perform as taxi passengers. If we're being rated at that micro level, I think it's safe to assume we're going to be rated as real estate professionals. What does this mean for agents and teams? What are the things they should and should not be doing to leverage this trend to their advantage? These are the things Real Estate Confronts Agent Reviews addresses. The intent is for the White Paper to be the go-to reference for any top agent or team looking to increase their financial results using agent reviews as the driver of that increased revenue." Real Estate Confronts Agent Reviews may be downloaded at http://t3experts.com/t3-reviews. The survey may be downloaded at http://t3experts.com/reviews-survey. T3 Experts was founded by Swanepoel, Jack Miller and Michael McClure. The firm helps top agents and teams build their incomes by implementing systems and best practices.

Tomie Raines, Inc. REALTORS Rating System Gives Consumers Final Word
East Lansing, MI (January 14, 2014)--Transparency in the real estate world seems to be a very hot industry discussion right now. According to the National Association of REALTORS® website, NAR has started testing an agent rating program based only on client reviews in the last year and yet it was over eight years ago that Tomie Raines, Inc. REALTORS, a leader in the greater Lansing real estate market since 1977, became one of the first real estate companies to offer the Quality Service Certified® rating system. They have expanded their use of customer feedback with ratings and verbatim comments posted on tomieraines.com, QualityService.org, and now RatedAgent.com. Eight years later, it is still mandatory that all Tomie Raines, Inc. agents opt into the Quality Service Certified program which allows the REALTOR to be rated openly online, whether good or bad. The president and owner of Tomie Raines, Inc., Debbie Barnett, was ahead of the curve when it came to the concept of total service transparency, as most companies still don't want to allow for negative comments on their websites. "High standards in customer service and accountability have always been important to me and I want to be sure that our agents, who are all independent contractors, feel similarly," said Barnett. "Using the QSC rating system, I can monitor how my agents are serving their clients. I can even coach an agent who may have received a lower score for a particular service issue, which offers our agents the chance to continually grow and improve." "My QSC rating paves the way for building trust and confidence from the very start. The QSC reviews and ratings are from my past clients who were surveyed by an independent, unbiased, and trusted source and consumers connect to my business because they can see my proven track record of success and results," said Lisa Fletcher, Realtor®, Associate Broker, ABR®, CNE®, CRS®, E-Pro®, GRI, SRES, QSC®. Debbie Barnett's business influence extends beyond real estate. She recently returned from the Small Business Association of Michigan's Leadership Council meeting, where she is one of approximately 100 business leaders selected out of over 21,000 members to help guide the association. Ms. Barnett is a 27 year industry veteran, has been an area resident for over thirty years and has had a controlling interest in the business for eleven years.

Let them Swear: In Search of Negative Feedback
Guest contributor Chris Drayer of RealSatisfied says: I want to hear from my most angry clients. In fact I want them to yell, rant and swear at me. Just say it. Tell me what went wrong, tell me why you won't work with me again. Tell me where to go. If they are deeply emotionally charged – I want to have them tell it to my face. Perhaps I really deserved it. The problem is that less than 10% of your upset clients will ever tell you directly. Instead, your name and your brand get pummeled and you lose repeat business and referrals. How can I respond and mitigate damage if I don’t know? Things that don’t get measured, don’t get changed.
