To be considered for the RateMyAgent Awards, agents must activate their RateMyAgent profile and request reviews now. All reviews for consideration need to be received by 11.59 pm PST on the 3rd of January 2026 for property transactions in 2025. Nominees will be announced in late January 2026 and winners in March 2026. More details to come!

To win an Agent of the Year Award, means you deliver excellence. We want to celebrate you for your excellent client reviews, showing your focus on the client experience and the quality of your customer service. It also gives you extra credibility that you can then share within the industry and with potential clients. Who doesn't want to say they are Agent of the Year?!

Launched in the US in 2021, this awards event is the first industry-wide, brokerage agnostic celebration honoring the agents who are committed to customer satisfaction and delivering remarkable client experiences. This program, over the last 11 years, has become the Oscars of the real estate industry in RateMyAgent’s native country, Australia.

All winners will receive a suite of Digital Marketing Assets that they can use to promote their Agent of the Year Award win across their network. They will also be announced as a 2026 award winner in RateMyAgent’s marketing! You can also purchase a stunning trophy to mark your achievement.

If you are part of a team profile you will be eligible for Team of the Year Awards!

Agents who represent themselves as a team or as two people on an individual agent profile unfortunately will not be eligible for Agent Awards.

A RateMyAgent verified review is tied directly to the transaction and verified by the buyer or seller. When you claim your free RateMyAgent profile, you can request new and upload existing reviews from the buyer or seller easily. You can also link reviews you have sitting on other platforms (like Zillow, RealSatisfied, Google, and Realtor) to the transaction on your RateMyAgent profile, creating a verified review.

Across the web, “verified” reviews are the new standard. It’s an easy way to ward off fake reviews, and it has the benefit of empowering customers through transparency.

It is easy to move over existing reviews to your RateMyAgent profile. You can import the reviews to your profile by following the guide here.

If you’ve claimed your profile and it looks like some of your recent or past sales are missing, don’t worry, it’s easy to fix.

Because all reviews on RateMyAgent are linked to property transactions, your RateMyAgent profile looks its best when it includes all of your properties, that way you can get reviews for all your sales and make sure sellers and buyers are seeing a solid history of your experience when they find you.
