Ratings..... They are everywhere! Yelp, Angie's List, postings on Facebook, Tweets, Linkedin, and so many more I can't name.
So why is the Real Estate industry scared of a trend that could push the cream to the top?
As a Real Estate professional, I have made my living relying on my reputation, as every REALTOR I know has. Now I'm not foolish enough to believe that every comment made about "Jimmy Dulin" was a positive one, nor do I believe every comment should have been. I have made my fair share of mistakes, but like everyone in the business world, year after year I have gotten better at my trade.
Today instead of selling homes, I am using my Real Estate reputation to build a Real Estate Company, recruiting some of Central Indiana's top agents. Whether selling homes, cooking a meal, or recruiting Indy's top Real Estate talent I, like you, live by my reputation. So I say bring on the ratings, let REALTORS rate their brokers, and let consumers rate their experience with a REALTOR, office, or even a brand. Last year KW won the prestigious JD Power and Associates Award after receiving favorable ratings. The year before RE/MAX won the award and we celebrated our success. So like the JD Power or the Yelps of the world, it's time to accept ratings exist. Some will be good and others no so much, but in the end we shouldn't be scared.
Bon Appetite,
Jimmy
