The Review Process

Last updated January 15, 2025

Writing reviews on DealCred works differently than other platforms. We built it to be fair, balanced, and accurate.

How Reviews Work

Step 1: Write Your Review

Share your experience with a deal partner. Be honest, specific, and professional.

What happens next: Your review enters a 7-day waiting period.

Step 2: The 7-Day Window

During this week:

  • •Your review stays private (only you can see it)
  • •The other party gets notified they can write their own review
  • •You can't edit your review during this time

This gives both sides a chance to share their perspective independently.

Step 3: Reviews Go Live

Two things can happen:

If they write a review: Both reviews become visible immediately
If they don't: Your review goes live after 7 days

Once reviews are public, the 7-day review window closes. No new reviews can be added for this deal.

After Reviews Go Live

Once reviews are public, the reviewee can no longer write a counter-review. This prevents reviews from looking like rebuttals or arguments.

However, the reviewee (person being reviewed) can still:

  • •Confirm the deal details → Makes the deal "Verified"
  • •Dispute the details → Flags for DealCred admin review
  • •Do nothing → Deal remains "Unverified"

Note: The reviewee can confirm or deny the deal at any time, even during the 7-day waiting period.

Either party can also submit the deal for full "Certification" at any time.

Updating Reviews

Real estate deals evolve. Sometimes that renovation takes longer. Sometimes that payment comes through. We get it.

You can add updates to your review:

  • •Once per month maximum
  • •Updates appear as additions (original review stays intact)
  • •Deal details can't be changed
  • •Both parties can update their reviews

Think of updates like adding new chapters, not rewriting the book.

Why This System?

No surprise attacks. Both parties get a fair chance to share their side.

No revision history wars. Original reviews stay original.

Real accountability. Once public, reviews are permanent (with updates clearly marked).

This isn't Yelp for restaurants. These are million-dollar deals. The review process should match the stakes.
