How we rate real estate agents

Our review compares real estate agents on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which real estate agent they think is best!


Canstar Blue surveyed 278 Australians for their feedback on the real estate agent(s) they’ve used for business purposes in the last three years.

  • The outcomes reported in these ratings are measured via accredited research panels managed by Qualtrics.


Respondents rate their satisfaction with their real estate agent brand(s) from zero to ten, where zero is extremely dissatisfied and ten is extremely satisfied. Brand satisfaction was rated by respondents on the following criteria:
  • Overall satisfaction: measures consumer satisfaction with a real estate agent brand as an individual score NOT a combined total of all criteria.
  • Value for money: the cost is reasonable for the quality and services offered by the agent.
  • Knowledge & advice provided by the agent: the real estate agent was knowledgeable about the area, property and industry as a whole, and was able to provide sound advice given to the situation and needs.
  • Client service: the real estate agent was easy to get in touch with, prompt with responses and advice, and was able to answer any questions or deal with any issues effectively.
  • Services offered by the agent: the real estate agent offered a wide variety of services, including buying and selling properties, advertising and additional advice.

The winning brand is the one that receives the highest Overall satisfaction rating once all the scores from the Overall satisfaction criteria are combined and averaged.

  • Overall satisfaction is asked as a specific question and represents an individual measure, not a combined total of all criteria.
  • When we cannot determine a clear winner from the criteria for the Overall satisfaction rating, we will then look at the other criteria measured in the rating.
    • The brand with the highest number of five-star ratings within the supporting criteria will become the five-star recipient in overall satisfaction, and thus win the award. If a clear leader still cannot be determined from the supporting criteria, joint winners will be declared.

Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included, so not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The brands rated in this survey are listed below in order of best overall satisfaction.
