HomeViews' Review Benchmarks and Best Practices

The HomeViews review benchmark is a minimum number of verified resident reviews that you should aim to collect at a development and/or brand level within a year.

At HomeViews, we encourage continuously engaging with residents, encouraging ongoing feedback, and actively responding to reviews. 

We have created this 10% review benchmark to help you demonstrate what an “excellent” development/ brand looks like on HomeViews and get the most out of our partnership. 

 

WHY IT MATTERS:

Achieving these benchmarks brings a host of advantages, including the ability to leverage positive reviews in your marketing, gain valuable insights from resident feedback and data, enhance your brand reputation among consumers, qualify for our prestigious Resident Choice Awards and be recognized as a top performer in the industry.

 

Why is the 10% review benchmark important?

Transparency and Trust:
Collecting a significant number of verified reviews helps build trust and transparency with your residents' and prospective tenants. It showcases the property's willingness to be open about the resident's experience and provides a realistic picture of what it's like to live there. 

 

Be Set Apart From Competitors:

Showcase yourself as a leader in the industry through recognition from awards. Our Resident Choice Awards & HomeViews Award Badges are a chance to be recognised for your ongoing commitment to providing excellent resident service.

 

Marketing & Branding:

With enough reviews you can leverage positive feedback in your marketing campaigns. Showcase testimonials, highlight key aspects praised by residents, and position yourselves as a top choice in the market. This can be done at an individual development or brand level.

 

Resident Satisfaction & Retention:

Actively collecting and responding to reviews demonstrates your commitment to resident satisfaction. According to a study, 89% of consumers read businesses’ responses to reviews, showing how essential it is for building trust and maintaining relationships with residents.

Informed Decision Making:

Detailed and up to date reviews help potential tenants to make informed decisions about their future home. They can gain insights into the property's strengths and overall living experience, helping them choose a home that aligns with their preferences and expectations.
