Terms and Conditions

Welcome to RateMyAgent.com ("RMA"), a website portal by which visitors ("End Users") to ratemyagent.com, and other related websites, social media web pages and software applications operated by RMA (collectively referred to as the "Site") may provide feedback or commentary on individual real estate agents, teams and real estate brokerages listed on the Site ("Agents").

AGENTS
1. RMA will list Agents on the Site from time to time. Where practicable, it will obtain the identity of each Agent and information about them from the Agent or from publicly available sources.
2. RMA makes no warranty or representation about the accuracy of information it displays on the Site which it obtains from third parties. Information on the Site about a given Agent or Brokerage is based upon the information obtained by or submitted to RMA. Information on the Site is not an endorsement of any particular Agent or Brokerage and is not a guarantee of an Agents or Brokerages quality, competency, or character, nor is it a predictor of the outcome of any matter in which such Agent or Brokerage is involved. Rather, the information is intended to be a starting point to gather information about Agents and Brokerages that may be suitable for your needs, but you should use your own discretion in deciding whether to contact or hire any given Agent or Brokerage.
3. RMA will determine which Agents it lists on the Site and may modify or remove the Profile of an Agent at any time without liability if, in RMA’s sole discretion, a violation of this Agreement, other RMA terms or policies, or applicable law has occurred. No Agent has any right to be listed on the Site or have an Agent Profile on the Site.
4. Agents will have the opportunity to claim their Profile upon providing sufficient evidence of their identity to RateMyAgent. You acknowledge that by claiming your own Profile, you expressly grant an irrevocable, perpetual, nonexclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to RMA and its affiliates to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display all content and information posted on your Profile, including without limitation property listing data (including, but not limited to, all images, text, floorplans, movies, or other works associated with a listing, whether sold or unsold) in respect of all properties which you are selling or have sold and you warrant that you are authorized and/or have the necessary rights to grant such a license.
5. An Agent may manage and update their Profile only if:
  1. they have registered an Account with RMA; and
  2. they have claimed their Profile with RMA using the relevant functionality on the Site, including sufficiently (as determined by RMA in its sole discretion) identifying themselves to RMA as the individual agent described in the relevant Profile; and they have agreed to these Terms and Conditions.

  3. add or modify a summary of their background;
  4. verify their sales reports or report their sales results;
