This is among the many reasons I do not involve myself in public portal review sites. Anyone and can say anything ... even if they don't know us, have never met us and never did business with us.

Annette,
We did not ever pay attention to how others ran their real estate business, We ran ours according to our objectives and standards. And I do not take the time to put other businesses down, we just do not do business with them. In our experience in commercial real estate in the very competitve LA market, in 20 years, we encountered 2 nincompoops, Subsequently one went to SF to work as a barrista, and the other left for Orange County.

I would ask "Why do you think that?", so you can understand their impression and determine how to go forward from there.

I am not going to change their minds so it is best to ignore them and focus on more constructive activities.

I usually ignore agent reviews and suggest others do the same. While some agents do really great job, there are so many paid services that will post as many reviews as you are willing to pay for.

I will not place myself in a position to be judged by weenie-wagging consumers with a love of wielding the power of the keystroke for maximum destruction/ego-gratification.
My demographic will never be 'folks who disrespect our profession'.

I get what you're asking but, I honestly don't have time to worry about those types of sites.
Another thing to note - those who write bad reviews tend to ALWAYS write bad reviews - for every service. Those are NOT the type of clients I work with...or want to work with!
Once a naysayer, always a naysayer!
I stay in my lane and make clients happy so I don't have to worry about negative feedback!

It has to be well thought out just like a complaint on Yelp which can get pretty all encompassing (just sucks). Stick to your reply topic with no aggression. Take the stance of a teacher to shoot their garbage down.
I did get a referral once because I shot down someone with a wise crack. They said our office never answered the phone. My reply was 18 hours a day is not enough business hours?

It hasn't happened to me (and probably won't), but if someone named me by name, and then disparaged me or my company, I would call them. If that did not get results, I would have my attorney send them a letter. There is a difference between an opinion and libel.

My go to response if I ever get a bad review- or if my firm does will be a simple on line reply asking them to call me to resolve the issue and help me prevent future unhappy clients. Of course having a bunch of good reviews I believe would overall show any potential consumers that I'm a stand up broker who good results and service.

Nothing new about how people think of our profession. I spend no time whatsoever looking at the website for stuff like this. I keep my eyes on my own paper, as they say. Things like this are not written about me and my clients are the primary source of additional business because they know my value. And part of the problem is precisely that this is often true and that too many agents
- they do little
- charge too much
- greedy
- over-promise
I see it everyday and hear about it every day from clients. I have no time to defend... I can only do what I do and set a different example.

Most of us realize when someone goes off about how bad a situation was, there is much more to the story and they left out valuable facts.

Annette Lawrence , Palm Harbor, FL 727-420-4041 1. Ignore, but explain to the potential client there are always two sides to every story. We cannot make an honest assessment until we know all of the facts. Shall we go ahead and sign the paperwork now.

I would ask them questions to probe their line of thinking. As they were concluding I would ask them to tell me more. Then I would ask some probing questions

There are many people out there that will NEVER do business with a real estate agent.. why waste time convincing someone doesn't want to be. Spend time talking to those that want help

That is why I no longer associate with Yelp. It could be another agent bad mouthing you, and they won't take them down.
