Media Release: Domain and RateMyAgent partner to bring recommendations to Domain buyers and sellers
Australia’s home of property Domain and Australia’s number one real estate agent reviews and ratings website RateMyAgent have today announced a partnership that will see Domain showcase recommendations from RateMyAgent across participating agents and agencies profiles on domain.com.au.
The partnership will improve the service each platform provides to real estate agents, helping to build their brand and drive market share.
RateMyAgent counts more than 680,000 verified reviews nationwide and is used by agents who sell 80% of property across Australia. Domain reaches a digital audience of 5.7 million people monthly¹. The power of the two will assist sellers to find great agents, trusting that they are getting recommendations from real, validated homeowners.
Tony Blamey, Chief Commercial Officer of Domain, said the partnership with RateMyAgent was the next step in making the property journey easier, more enjoyable and further connected for homeowners.
“As a customer-centric marketplace, we’re constantly searching for new ways to help agents prosper and inspire confidence in life’s property decisions for buyers and sellers. The addition of RateMyAgent’s verified recommendations to domain.com.au is set to enhance the experience we provide to both agents and consumers.
“The partnership will see the most recent recommendations posted to eligible agent profiles providing additional value to our Domain Platinum customers as well as eligible RateMyAgent Subscribers*, allowing them to amplify the results of their work and continue to deliver great outcomes for their clients.”
Mark Armstrong, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of RateMyAgent, said the partnership is a commitment to continually improve the service and value offered to agents.
“This partnership supercharges the exposure of recommendations for our subscribed agents, as well as provides an enhanced experience for visitors – namely homeowners – to domain.com.au. It’s a win-win for all parties and is an example of a partnership that has huge potential as we move forward.”
The partnership is part of a new service offering from RateMyAgent which sees the platform categorise recommendations as media, allowing them to sit anywhere on the web including syndication to popular platforms including Google and Facebook. Agents can also add recommendations to any website they have access to with the new web API.
