Clearly labelled
Sponsored and featured positions are marked so consumers can separate advertising from verification labels.
Sponsored placement policy
Advertise on BestRealEstateAgents.ca
Featured placements can help agents and brokerages reach local buyers and sellers, but every paid placement is clearly labelled and separate from editorial rankings, review context, and performance claims.
Source rules still apply
Paid profiles still need source-backed fields, original content, permission-cleared images, and rights-aware testimonials.
Clear claim review
Advertising copy must use supportable, current, and reviewable profile language.
Request featured placement review
Start by submitting or claiming a profile. Advertising review happens after the profile record is real and compliant.
Profile review
How sponsored placements are reviewed
The review process is designed to keep profile pages useful for consumers while giving agents and brokerages a clear way to correct or improve their information.
We confirm who submitted it
Claims and updates are reviewed for a clear relationship to the agent, team, or brokerage before profile changes are made.
We check the supporting details
Service areas, specialties, brokerage details, and contact information are compared against public links or submitted proof.
We protect profile integrity
Profile updates require original copy, permission-cleared media, clear ranking context, and review rights where applicable.
Approved updates are labelled
Published profiles can show claimed, verified, public-profile, or sponsored labels so consumers understand what they are seeing.
What we will and will not publish
Agents can claim a profile to update service areas, specialties, links, and contact details.
Consumers and brokerages can suggest corrections when something looks outdated or incomplete.
Sponsored placements are reviewed separately and will always be clearly labelled.
Abstract avatars are used until a permission-cleared agent photo is submitted.
