Fivewalls Launches A New Way for Home Buyers and Sellers to Pick REALTORS® Based on Aggregated Reviews Data

    TORONTO, ON, February 06, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fivewalls, a leading digital platform that vets real estate agents from multiple brokerages and ranks them by a performance algorithm, has rolled out a critical feature that allows home buyers and sellers to filter relevant reviews for them. It works by taking key elements of a real estate agent's role such as, being good at negotiating, being patient and not pushy, fast at responding, and other attributes to aggregate relevant reviews. Fivewalls is the first to provide this type of review data to the real estate buyer or seller.

"People often don't know how to pick a REALTOR®. Every buyer or seller is unique and so it is not only important to find an experienced agent they can trust but also one that fits their unique needs. A buyer might want someone who is more understanding and patient compared with a seller who may prefer a stronger negotiator. At Fivewalls, we want everyone to access relevant data on reviews so they can pick the best real estate agent for them," said Paul Hayman, CEO of Fivewalls.

Review attributes and keywords will be factored into Fivewalls' algorithm in the spring of 2020. Real estate agents will also be ranked based on what a home buyer or seller pre-selects as the personality traits and skills that are important for them when choosing an agent. Taking into account the preferences of home buyers and sellers, agents will be ranked according to how well their past customer reviews match a buyer's or seller's needs. Currently, Fivewalls' algorithm ranks agent based on the number and rating of reviews, past transaction count, years of experience and the completion of a real estate agent's profile. An agent's Fivewalls profile also allows home buyers and sellers to compare their reviews across other sites like Google, Yelp, Zillow and Facebook (if the agent has uploaded them).
