REALTOR® Reviews Template → Copy & Paste Examples That Win Clients
By Joe Stephenson, REALTOR® | Updated 2025
Believe me when I say that a single good REALTOR® review can do more for your real estate business than a thousand marketing flyers. One of the most overlooked tools in the real estate industry is the real estate agent review, especially when it’s specific, heartfelt, and full of real results. The kicker? Most clients want to leave a review but aren’t sure what to say.
That’s why it’s so important to help them find the words that reflect their experience. In this guide, I’ll share real estate agent review examples tailored for different client types, show you how to ask for them, and where to use them to influence potential clients’ decisions.

When and How to Ask for a Review
Timing is everything. I always ask for a review right after the closing process, when emotions are high and you’ve just delivered that dream home. That’s the magic moment. Use a simple, heartfelt script to guide them.
Script for a First-Time Buyer
“Hey [Client First Name], it’s been an absolute pleasure helping you through the home buying journey. If you feel comfortable, I’d love for you to share a few words about your experience. Many of my prospective buyers are first-timers just like you, and your story could really help them make an informed decision.”
Realtor Review Examples (Copy, Paste, Tweak!)
Let’s make this easy. Below are sample good reviews tailored to different parts of the real estate process.
For a First-Time Home Buyer
“As a first-time buyer, I was nervous about the home buying process, but [Agent Name] made the whole process smooth and even fun. Their expertise in the local market gave me confidence to act fast. I never felt rushed, and their honest advice helped me find a home that was truly right for me. An absolute pleasure to work with!”
Pro Tip: Link them to a helpful resource like a buyer’s checklist to add even more value.
For a Seller Who Sold Above Asking Price
“[Agent Name] and the entire team did an outstanding job helping us sell our home. From staging to setting the right price, their great advice and strong negotiation skills got us multiple offers—and we sold above asking price! They made the selling process feel stress-free. If you want the best real estate agent, look no further.”
For a Real Estate Investor
“This is my fourth deal with [Agent Name] and the only estate agent I trust with my real estate dealings. Their exceptional market knowledge and problem-solving expertise make every step feel seamless. Whether you’re flipping or building a portfolio, this is the kind of trustworthy agent you want on your side.”
For a Relocation Buyer New to the Area
“Moving to a new city is tough, but [Agent Name] made all the difference. Their insights on market trends and school districts were exactly what we needed. It’s rare to find such outstanding service. Thanks for making the home purchase process incredibly easy.”

Use these templates as-is or tweak them to match your brand voice. Just make sure you’re asking consistently—that’s how you build long-term review equity.
Using Reviews to Boost Your Business
Online reviews are powerful social proof. Prospective clients often read them before they ever fill out a contact form. They’re not just skimming for stars; they’re looking for stories that resonate with their own situation. Now that you’ve got great real estate reviews, here’s what to do with them:
- Add them to your listing presentations.
- Share them on your social media and website.
- Include them in follow-up emails to potential customers.
- Add snippets to your email signature or Google Business Profile.
A testimonial is not a review. A review is a running commentary… you’ll get better information from the one review that’s legitimate, that was written in story form and is very long, than you will in all of the other testimonial ones.
FAQs About Real Estate Reviews
The best time to ask is right after a successful closing. Send a personalized email or text expressing your gratitude and explaining how their story can help future clients. Always provide a direct link to make it as easy as possible for them to leave the review.
A great review tells a story. It should mention specific challenges, the agent’s expertise, communication style, and the final outcome. Details about the process, like navigating a competitive market or securing a great price, make the review more trustworthy and impactful.
Showcase your reviews everywhere! Key places include your website’s homepage, a dedicated testimonials page, your Google Business Profile, Zillow, Realtor.com, and social media channels like Facebook and LinkedIn. Using reviews in your listing presentations and email signatures is also highly effective.
