My Reviews


For Individuals/companies that are using rating services, and collecting/measuring customer reviews. This feature allows users to amplify using social proof by sharing and posting testimonials, reviews, etc. 


There are two ways reviews show up in the mobile app; either an MLO or Company’s review vendor connects to our Review API or a user adds/connects their Social Media and Business Accounts. For example, Google My Business, reviews will populate in ‘My Reviews’ after connecting.


Please note: The Individual’s NMLS ID must be included in the review, for the review to populate in the app. Developers and technical contacts, please click HERE for more information on how to set up the Review API! 


Social proof is a proven way to influence online connections and gain more business. 


Once connected, mobile users can refer to the 'My Reviews' section and all review data will be automatically loaded into the 'My Reviews' section where users would then have the option to preview, edit, reply, and post to their multiple social media connections.
