No-cost agent matching.
No pay-to-play agents.

We know you might be wondering: If this service is free and agents can’t pay to be recommended, then how does SoldNest make money?

We receive an industry-standard referral fee from the real estate brokerage an agent works for — but only if you successfully sell your home.

Agents across the country apply daily to join our matching platform, but most don’t make the cut. Whether an agent is part of our network or not, they can never pay upfront or monthly fees to be recommended. They’re only matched with a seller if they meet our high standards, maintain a strong reputation, deliver outstanding service, and agree never to lock a home seller into a restrictive listing contract.

When you inquire with us, we use our strict criteria to match you with the best-qualified real estate agent in your area. If you’re not satisfied with any Realtor we match you with, no problem — our service is completely free, and there’s no obligation.

If you do choose an agent we recommend, we earn a standard broker-to-broker referral fee from the real estate brokerage the agent works for — but only after your home sells. (As a licensed real estate broker, SoldNest operates as a marketplace that facilitates these industry-standard fees.)

This fee is the same for every real estate agent we match you with. It does not affect the service you receive or the commission an agent charges. Some agents have offered to pay us a higher fee in exchange for a recommendation, but we’ve never accepted — and never will.

This model benefits everyone involved. Sellers get matched with a top-performing real estate agent at no cost, agents gain high-quality clients, and SoldNest remains committed to connecting you with the best-qualified professional to sell your home for the highest price.

How we match you with a top local listing agent

Our matching process pairs you with a top local real estate agent who meets our strict screening criteria. Here’s what happens after you request your match.

1

Tell us about your home

What type of property are you selling? Where is it located? What’s your timeframe? Answer several questions so we can learn more about your property and selling situation. Then, shortly after, an expert from our team will review it and send you a text to finalize your request and answer any questions.

We identify your top local agent(s)

We analyze agents in your area and notify you when we’ve found your best match (your choice of up to 3). We carefully evaluate agents using home sale data, online reviews, and one-on-one interviews. This process ensures we match you with a local real estate agent who meets our strict criteria and has a proven track record of putting sellers first. We’ll send you our analysis so you can see why they’re a strong match for the sale of your home (typically within 24 hours). And if you prefer multiple options, we can match you with up to three agents.

Review your best agent match(es)

We notify you before an agent reaches out — so you can review their profile and decide if they’re a potential fit. Any agent we match you with will reach out, giving you the opportunity to learn about their strategy for selling your home at the highest price. You can start with a brief phone call and decide whether to schedule a walkthrough. They’ll share their analysis of your property and explain the services they provide throughout the selling process. From there, you decide if they’re the right agent for you.

Hire them with no risk

If you’re not 100% satisfied with a SoldNest-matched agent, you can cancel your listing agreement at any time - without owing any commissions. Part of our selection process is ensuring that any Realtor we match you with will allow you to cancel the agreement you sign with an agent. If, for whatever   reason, you’re not completely satisfied with your agent, you will not be liable for any commission fees — and you can either hire another agent outside of SoldNest or we can find you another match.

What sellers say about their agent match

If my experience with SoldNest says anything it is that this business truly takes care of their customers and they know the housing market. Working with SoldNest and the agent made my home selling experience so easy and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

We are deeply grateful to the agent SoldNest recommended for recently selling our family home. As a result of their outstanding negotiating skills, we received multiple offers and it sold in a week. Their service was excellent from start to finish.
