What are Ratings & Reviews?

It is a new feature on PropertyGuru.com.sg where customers who have previously contacted you via the platform are able to review their experience with you.

Why is PropertyGuru introducing Ratings & Reviews?

At PropertyGuru, we strive to be the number 1 Proptech Group in Southeast Asia and build a “Trust Platform” for the property ecosystem connecting agents, property seekers, developers, valuers and banks by driving greater transparency and efficiency, which will empower them to make confident property decisions. Ratings & Reviews is one of the key drivers towards helping us build a “Trust Platform”.

As an agent, how does this benefit me?

Agents can benefit from the following:

• Bring more traffic to your listings as we improve the quality of customer experience on the platform by enhancing trust and customer loyalty

• A personal branding tool to distinguish yourself from competition by enabling you to request for customer reviews

• Trusted and credible agents with positive reviews would be rewarded by being more efficiently matched to serious and quality leads

• Improve the quality of leads to the marketplace through verified customer reviews and robust moderation mechanisms. For e.g. only verified customers who have previously contacted agents via the platform can login and submit a review. All reviews will also undergo strict moderation checks before they are published.
