Een Sterk Verkooprecord Zorgt Niet voor Verwijdering van een Recensie — Dit Wel

Can Businesses Remove Realtor.com Reviews?

Ja, in specifieke gevallen — Realtor.com verwijdert recensies zonder oprechte klantrelatie, met een niet-gemeld belangenconflict, of met inhoud zoals haatzaaiende taal, privacyschendingen, laster of spam. Een betwist verslag van een klant over een echte transactie is op zichzelf geen reden voor verwijdering, zelfs niet wanneer uw door MLS geverifieerde afsluitingsrecord een ander verhaal vertelt.

"Delete" and "remove" mean the same thing here — Realtor.com doesn't let a business unilaterally delete a review either way. Both routes go through the same flagging process against the same content guidelines below.

Which Realtor.com Reviews Can Be Removed?

Realtor.com evaluates a flagged review against specific categories, regardless of how positive or negative it is. A review is a genuine candidate for removal if:

• It doesn't reflect a genuine client relationship — the reviewer never actually worked with the agent on a real transaction.
• Conflict of interest — the review comes from a competing agent or someone else with an undisclosed stake rather than a genuine client.
• Hate speech, threats, or discriminatory language directed at the agent.
• Privacy violations — disclosure of another person's private information unrelated to describing the service experience.
• Defamatory statements or unsubstantiated claims of illegal or fraudulent conduct going beyond a description of a bad experience.
• Spam, duplicate submissions, or content unrelated to the transaction or the agent being reviewed.

How to Report or Flag a Realtor.com Review

Reporting works best when the flag names a specific, checkable guideline violation rather than simply disagreeing with the review — "this reviewer has no matching record with us" is actionable; "this isn't fair" generally isn't.

What If Realtor.com Refuses to Remove the Review?

If the review doesn't violate Realtor.com's guidelines, removing it may not be an available option — that's the realistic outcome for most negative reviews, since being genuine and unflattering isn't a policy violation. In that situation, the focus shifts from deletion to the overall profile: a thoughtful public response to the review that stays up, and a larger base of genuine reviews so a single negative one carries proportionally less weight in the average.
