In a more balanced market, clients have more options, and so do agents. The ones who stand out aren't just good at their jobs, they're easy to work with, reliable, and well-reviewed. Your KeyPleaz® profile is part of that reputation now.
THIS WEEK'S PRO TIP: HOW RATINGS AND REVIEWS WORK ON KEYPLEZ®
Your profile rating is the first thing a hiring agent sees. Here's how to make sure it works in your favor:
Complete tasks on time and communicate proactively. Reliability is the fastest path to five stars.
After each job, follow up with the hiring agent and politely ask for a review if they haven't left one.
A strong review history makes your profile stand out when multiple agents are competing for the same task.
Think of your KeyPleaz® profile the same way you think about your Zillow or Google reviews — it's a living reference that works for you even when you're not actively looking.
MARKET NEWS PULSE
Home prices are stabilizing rather than dropping, with national growth expected between 1% and 4% in 2026, far below the double digit swings of 2021 and 2022. Annual price growth slowed to about 0.7% in January, one of the lowest rates in recent history. The story varies by region, with the Midwest leading at around 3.5% year over year, while Florida, Colorado, and parts of the West are seeing modest declines as pandemic era demand cools.
QUICK STAT OF THE WEEK
The Midwest is the strongest regional housing market in the country right now, with average year-over-year price growth of 3.56%. If you're working in Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska, or nearby states, your market is outperforming the national average.
