RateMyAgent’s new integration will enhance that experience,” Marissa Alemeida (lead product marketing manager at Realtor.com) said in a prepared statement.
    According to RateMyAgent’s press release, the goal of the new relationship between RateMyAgent.com and Realtor.com was to help agents build their personal brand, client trust, and reach new clients through the use of social proof/reviews.
    Agent reviews will automatically appear on Realtor.com thanks to the integration. Agents can also use the integration to increase exposure by tapping into the 86 million monthly visitors of Realtor.com.
    Michael Davey, RateMyAgent CEO, stated that “a key goal at RateMyAgent was to continue to build our platform and the connections and relationships we have.” “We are always trying to be tapped into our clients’ needs – and this relationship was high on the priority list for United States RateMyAgent subscribers.”
    According to the press release, the new feature will initially be available to members of National Association of Realtors (NAR), but will “shortly” roll out to all agents.
