Frequently Asked Questions

AgentAlgo is an advanced real estate intelligence platform that uses data-driven algorithms to match home buyers and sellers with the top-performing agents in their specific local market. Unlike traditional directories, we rank agents based on actual transaction data, transaction speed, and sale-to-list ratios.

Our algorithm analyzes millions of real estate transactions to identify which agents have the most successful track record in your specific neighborhood, property type, and price range. We look at key metrics like market velocity (how fast they sell) and the sale-to-list ratio (how close the final price is to the asking price).

Yes, AgentAlgo is completely free for home buyers and sellers. Our mission is to provide transparency and data-driven insights to help you make more informed decisions when choosing a real estate professional.

The Performance Score is a proprietary metric that combines transaction volume, market velocity, and sale-to-list ratios. It's designed to give you a single, clear indicator of an agent's effectiveness relative to their peers in a specific area. Higher scores indicate agents who consistently outperform market averages.

The Sale-to-List Ratio measures how well an agent defends the value of a property relative to its asking price. For sellers, a ratio of 100% means the agent sold the home for exactly the list price. Over 100% means they secured a premium, while a ratio significantly under 100% may indicate overpricing or less effective negotiation.

Average Days on Market (DOM) tracks the speed of a transaction from the initial listing date to the day it goes under contract. In our 'Buyer Advocate' rankings, a lower DOM often indicates an agent who can move quickly to secure a home in a competitive market.

AgentAlgo is built on independent transaction data. You don't 'apply' to be listed; our algorithm automatically identifies top performers in every market. If you have a strong track record of sales in your area, you will likely appear in our leaderboards naturally.

No. Our rankings are strictly performance-based. We do not accept payment for higher placement in our data-driven leaderboards. This ensures that users always receive the most objective and accurate recommendations possible.
