Note: Only Survey Responses with a Testimonial can be reviewed and published. Surveys completed with ratings only are automatically posted to your agent profile page. When a survey is completed with a testimonial, it must be approved before it appears on your public profile page. To approve the testimonial, go to the ‘Testimonials’ section of your Agent Dashboard and you will see a list of 'Testimonials Needing Approval'. Click the 'Approve' button next to the testimonial you would like to reivew. Once you start the review process, click on a color from the color picker to change the border color of the visual testimonial.

Testimonials that you make Public will appear on your Agent Profile Page and anywhere that your Agent or Office RSS feed has been used. We convert your testimonials into a Visual Testimonial, so you can easily share it online and on social media (or anywhere you would like to share it). Before publishing to your social media channels, please be sure that you have enabled your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn toggle under your Social Media Manager settings. If you do publish your testimonial on your social media channels, you can customize the text for the message 'Add text to the post' before it gets post. We automatically pre-populate a default message to save you time. You can also choose not to post a particular testimonial on your social channels by selecting 'No Thanks'. Click 'Confirm' to proceed.

Once you find the testimonial you want to review, click the ‘Promote’ button and you will be able to complete the approval process again.

When collecting the Testimonial we are also collecting permission from your customer to use and display the Testimonial 'as is' on your behalf. This means we are unable to make changes to it without their permission (aside from obvious typos). If there are parts of a testimonial that need to be edited, you will need to seek your client's permission. You can have them email us this permission at support@realsatisfied.com. The email should include the edits, your name and the property address.

Note: You can only send one gift card per survey. Make sure you choose the correct amount the first time because it cannot be changed once sent. After you send a gift card to your client, the “Send Gift Card” button will turn gray and say “Gift Sent”. Our Say Thank You With a Coffee feature allows you to send a small token of appreciation to your customer for providing feedback in the form of a Starbucks Gift Card. Available in a variety of values from $5 to $50, it's the perfect way to say "thank you and let me buy you a coffee" You can Say Thank You With a Coffee either from the link in the email you received letting you know the survey was completed or from your Agent Dashboard.

RealSatisfied pioneered the syndication of ratings and recommendations for the real estate industry. We knew agents needed a simple way to manage their customer satisfaction and performance data and deliver the results it to the places consumers could see them. From the start, RealSatisfied had provided agents with the solution required to simplify a needlessly complex process of distributing agent rating and testimonial content. Unfortunately, not all sites that provide a place for real estate ratings and testimonials allow the simple syndication of this data from third parties. This has created considerable frustration for our customers and needless effort on the part of consumers. We've decided to take some steps of our own to make this process easier. We have collected feedback from a number of clients who have had considerable success in encouraging their clients to take the extra steps to place their feedback on multiple sites - mostly in conjunction with our 'Send Gift Card' feature. We liked the concept and decided to have a look at how we may be able to make this easier, both inside and outside of the existing thank you process. The result is Encourage Reviews. A simple way to encourage clients who have provided a Testimonial to post their feedback on sites that require direct posting by the customer.

For example, they click on Google. A new window will appear directing them to your Google business page. Then, the pop-up box for the ratings and reviews section will appear, and from here they can right-click or press "ctrl+V". Their testimonial will now be pasted on the box. After they post their ratings and reviews, they can simply click the close X button to exit the window. They will still see the option to post to the other review platforms. If your client decides not to post to the other sites by clicking 'No Thanks', a pop-up message will appear. Here, they can choose 'Back To Post' and complete the steps above. Or, they can click 'Finish Without Posting'. In case your clients finished the survey without posting to Google, Zillow, or Facebook, you can manually resend the Encourage Reviews link from your agent dashboard.

We Process Credit Card Payments In Australia As you may know, RealSatisfied is an Australian company (we are based in sunny Manly, NSW Australia). Our credit card merchant is provided by Braintree Payments (https://www.braintreepayments.com/) and our credit card transactions are processed in Australia. While most of our customers are able to make payments with us with no issues, on occasion, if your card is issued outside of Australia, your card issuer have restrictions on your ability to process transactions with us. This is not a common occurrence, however it can be a little frustrating if it should happen to you. Declined Transactions When a transaction is refused, we do try and tell you why (we are limited to the messaging that is returned to our merchant from your bank or card issuer). Some of these messages are simple to understand eg: 51 - Insufficient funds some are a little more vague eg: 05 - Do Not Honor. In most cases you will need to contact your bank to be able to use a card that returns one of the following errors:
Our experience is that the contact to the bank need only to be done once. The following errors can typically be resolved by the you or your card issuer
The following errors typically cannot be resolved with this card and another card will need to be used.
Why are you refusing my card, it works everywhere else? When we try to process a card, our merchant (our merchant, Braintree) contacts your bank electronically to process the transaction. We can only complete this when your bank/card issuer approves it. You may have used you card to buy office supplies or pay for an ad somewhere just before you tried it with us - and it worked fine. We understand this can be frustrating and a little confusing when it happens. When your card is declined, it is being declined by your bank/card issuer - it does need to be resolved directly by you as the cardholder with your card issuer. Don't panic, this can normally be resolved with a call to the bank/card issuer and saying to them... "I am trying to make a payment using my card to a company that is based in Australia, however it is being declined. Can you please assist me in allowing this and future transactions with them to be processed."

If your Card has been Rejected Often this is a security measure put in place by your bank/card issuer. Your bank/card issuer has refused the transaction when we have attempted to process it. Our experience is you need to do this just once, and it affects some customers outside Australia as our merchant is based in Australia. Please make your bank aware of this.

RealSatisfied is an ‘all in’ or ‘all out’ service. We do not allow for responses to be removed from the system. However, you can remove your ratings from displaying publicly if you desire. This would allow you to continue getting the benefits of customer feedback and give you time to work on improving your overall customer satisfaction rating. To disable your ratings, click on ‘Settings’ and turn off the toggle for ‘Display Ratings’. You can also choose to display just aggregated ratings, which would be a blended total of all your surveys, rather than showing the detailed ratings for each survey.

You can resend the email and have the client look out for it. Follow the steps in Resending Invitations. As you can imagine, deliverability is a top concern for us.

This, however, only applies to the organizations established to identify spam, not to specific user settings that may automatically mark content outside of those guidelines. Those who are getting the highest response rates are letting their clients know that the email is coming from RealSatisfied.com, that the email title is their address, and that the feedback is very important.
