FAQ

What are these awards all about?

If you’ve claimed your free RateMyAgent profile and started collecting reviews, you’re on your way to claiming an award.
See below for more information on the different categories.

All reviews need to be received by 11:59pm January 3rd 2027 (AEDT) for property transactions throughout the previous year.

How do I win a Property Sales award in 2027?

To be eligible for a suburb award, you must have sold at least five properties as the lead agent in a specific location and have five unique seller reviews for those properties. RateMyAgent determines the winner from the following metrics:

  1. Review/Sales ratio: the percentage of properties sold with a vendor review attached in the past 12 months. Find out more about review/sales ratio here.
  2. Total number of properties sold in 2026.
  3. Average sales value of properties sold in 2026.
