What happens if we contact you?

If you are selected by us we will contact you and, only with the vendors permission will we give out a vendors contact details. If you are selected then it is because we consider you to be the ideal agent to sell their property. We use independent research and data to support our selection . We normally give the vendor between one and three agents names depending on the outcome of our research. Most of the time we only hand the vendor one agent and should the meeting not work out ‘then’ we give them the second on our list. This saves you the agent time.

How do you select an agent?

We combine online independent industry data including; historic and recent sales statistics with our own research including current listings. We then identify agents with a proven record of selling properties similar to the vendors in a similar location. As online presence is vital in today’s market, if you don’t have it then you need to get it!

We survey all our agents that we refer to vendors and store that data for future location searches. In plain language, if you do a great job you will get the next job! If we refer you to a vendor we will review your performance because each year we nominate a top performer.

How Many Agents Do You Work With?

We only find the agent or agents once we run a research report. Depending on the vendors request and property type we may put forward more than one agent. 90% of the time we only recommend one agent with an option to contact a second. We don’t disclose this to the agent as this is the business of the vendor. Yes we have a list of agents we work with and this changes each month.

Are You a Type of ‘Real Estate Broker’?

We are not a real estate broker. We do not sell real estate. We do not give advice on how to sell real estate. Some say we’re like a recruitment agency for an agent acting on behalf of someone that’s looking for a Top Agent – that would be the best description of what we do.

Our marketing referral fee is based on your time and effort in what you do best, ‘selling real estate.’ We feel the fairest way in measuring that is paying us a percentage of your output. This is important to us as we do not portray ourselves as Licenced Real Estate agents and make every effort in our communication to advise vendors of what we do.

Do we get involved in the transaction of real estate?

Absolutly not. We generate leads to who we believe to be the preferred agents for a vendor based on our market research. We disclose our referral fee to our vendors and we recommend you do the same. We recommend that you disclose the referral fees you have agreed to pay to My Top Agent as result of any trasaction you complete for the vendor.

What if I’m already dealing with the vendor?

If we have contacted you then it is unlikely that you will have dealt with the vendor in the last 30 days. We vet everything with the vendor when the property profile is sent through. We discuss with the vendor any agents that they have already spoken with in the last 30 days. If they have already spoken with you then great, they are already dealing with the best agent and do not require our services! If not, we recommend you and you can look forward to a new listing!

Can an agent pay for referrals?

No. We do not accept payments for listing opportunities and nor can you advertise on our site. We do offer real estate marketing services to agents to help with newsletters, facebook and LInkedin. If you are interested in this email John here.

Does My Top Agent sell real estate?

No we don’t. We also do not give advice on selling real estate nor do we give advice on how you should sell or market a property. This is the job of a licenced real estate agent. Our job is to match a vendor with who we believe to be the top agent for that vendor based on their requirements which can vary.

How do we earn our money?

We make no bones about it, we have to make money just like anyone else. Therefore, we charge a marketing referral fee to the agent. You can read out disclaimer here.

Do we accept bonus payments from agents?

Absolutly not. We have been offered payments of up to 20% of the gross income received from the vendor, however, we do not accept bonus payments such as these. We do our job and we’re happy with what we charge for recommending the Top Agent to a vendor.

Do you work with all agency groups?
