Why this matters
Our research across 20,061 UK estate agent offices shows that brands with stronger reviews don't just look better — they sell more, faster, and lose fewer listings to withdrawal. See how we measure agents →
- Top-rated agents (4.5★+) close 2.5× more property sales per office per year than agents below 4.5★. The effect compounds: they win 77% more new listings AND retain 43% more of them — a difference of 42 sold vs 106 sold per office, per year.
- Top-rated agents take on 3× more business per office than agents below 4★ — the gap is even bigger at the bottom of the rating scale.
- Replying signals an engaged agent: 47% of UK agents reply to fewer than half of their Google reviews. The ones who reply to 80%+ have measurably lower withdrawal rates and tend to carry higher star ratings overall — a public reply tells future clients (and Google's ranking) that someone is actually paying attention to your listing.
