How rankings workMethodology
Scores built on records, not reputation.
Every broker's score comes from official sales records and approved reviews. Here is how it is made, what it does for a broker, and what a broker can do about theirs.

Automated scoring
A computer model calculates every overall score and tier. No person chooses a broker's score, and any broker can ask for a person to review theirs.

A score out of 5, and a tier.
Every ranked broker holds one of five tiers, set by where their score falls among all ranked brokers.
A broker in the top 6% of ranked brokers holds Gold. Their profile also shows “Top 6%”.
- PlatinumTop 5%
- GoldNext 10%
- SilverNext 15%
- BronzeNext 20%
- StandardThe rest
Top X% shows only in the top halfIn the top half, a profile also shows its position, such as Top 6%. Below that, the tier alone says where a broker stands.
The review rating stays separateA broker's average review rating is shown beside the overall score, as its own number.
