Why It Matters
Before contacting an agent, most buyers and sellers search online for reviews. A well-managed review strategy not only boosts credibility but also improves local rankings, conversion rates and client retention.
Real World Example
An agent uses Sierra to automate review requests post-close. Over six months, they increase their Google reviews from 12 to 45, and website lead conversions jump by 18 percent.
How Sierra Interactive Helps
Sierra enables teams to send automated review requests, track who has left reviews, create follow-up reminders and monitor overall client sentiment for coaching and marketing.
