Struggling to Get Great Testimonials? You’re Not Alone.
Let’s be real—most client testimonials sound the same.
“Great agent!”
“Very professional!”
“Helped us buy our dream home!”
Sure, these are nice, but do they actually convince future clients to work with you? Not really.
A powerful testimonial tells a story, highlights real emotions, and builds instant trust with potential buyers and sellers. But here’s the problem: most clients don’t know how to write a compelling review… and most agents don’t guide them.
That’s where this cheat sheet comes in.
