Qualify local real estate agents
There are two ways for a real estate agent to become SoldNest Verified: They can apply to join our network or get invited. Our requirements are the same in either scenario, and they verify the agent’s selling experience, track record of prioritizing a seller’s best interests, and no-contract commitment. This process happens before confirming they’re a great match for you and your home.
To date, about 3% of all real estate agents are able to become SoldNest Verified. Here are the steps we take to determine if a listing agent in your area meets our stringent criteria.
Assess selling experience
Recent experience is a minimum requirement, so an agent must rank in the top 20% of properties sold in your area over the last 3 years.
The first step of our screening process is to look at the agent’s selling experience. We do this by verifying the number of properties they’ve sold and looking at these two things: their all-time sales and how many properties they’ve sold over the last 3 years.

Analyze dual agency sales
We eliminate the top selling agents who have a history of prioritizing earning two commissions from a single transaction, no matter who they are.
The listing agents who have a higher-than-average percentage of dual agency sales (when an agent represents both the seller and buyer in the same sale), also known in some states as a transaction broker/agent, have a track record of prioritizing their commission above a seller’s best interests.
We evaluate the agent’s rate of dual agency against other top selling agents in your area, advancing only those candidates with a lower percentage compared to their counterparts. This ensures you’re matched with a listing agent who has a history of prioritizing a seller’s best interests.

Evaluate client feedback
Positive feedback from past selling clients is mandatory and verified through our algorithm that analyzes online reviews.
Our algorithm assesses an agent's online reviews, scouring multiple platforms for explicit indicators of positive seller feedback. This analysis is crucial as it provides insights into an agent's past performance, helping us identify those who consistently provide outstanding service. By combing through reviews, we can discern a track record of excellence, ensuring we match you with a real estate agent who has consistently delivered exceptional results for sellers like you.

Interview the agent
Each candidate is interviewed by an expert on our team so that we can learn more about their process of working with a seller and to guarantee that they won’t lock you into a contract.
The agent interviews are a vital part of our screening process. They provide essential insights into how agents work, whether they operate independently or with a team, their marketing strategies, and more. This helps us match you with a real estate agent whose approach aligns with your needs.
Additionally, we verify that the agent won't bind you with a restrictive contract. SoldNest agents are committed to allowing you the freedom to cancel the agreement at any time, without incurring any agent commissions. This reinforces our commitment to finding you the most suitable and flexible listing agent.

Continued excellence
Real estate agents who are SoldNest Verified must maintain a track record of excellence while working with clients we refer to them.
We verify this by looking at the results of the property sold, continuously analyzing their sales and online reviews, and giving clients the option to provide feedback about their experience. As a quality-first company, our focus is on connecting homeowners with only the very best agents who can be trusted to sell their home for the best possible outcome.

Matched to your and your home
The agents in your area who pass our screening requirements qualify as a potential match. However, we take it a step further to ensure any agent we match you with has relevant selling experience and is aligned with your needs.

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.
