MAKING THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS
We built a platform that connects top Realtors with motivated buyers & sellers.
We prefer quality over quantity that's why we only deal with elite agents based on strict criteria.
OUR AGENT CRITERIA
We only work with the top 3% of agents
The overwhelming majority of agents in our system have been personally invited by one of our staff. To qualify for an invitation, agents must be in the top of 3% in terms of overall transaction sides in their market and boast market leading list-to-sale price ratios over the lasts 12 months.
We will also manually review the quality of your current listing inventory. As an Effective Agent you'll need to use professional quality photos, maintain your forward-facing profiles, utilize well-written ad copy in your property descriptions and advertising and ensure that all listings are thorough and accurate.
Our sophisticated ranking algorithm prioritizes transaction volume but also considers your ADOM (Active Days On Market) over the last year, the number of years you have been licensed and even your success ratio within our platform.

WHY CHOOSE EFFECTIVE AGENTS
About our platform
We're unbiased
Acceptance into our platform is somewhat of a badge of honor. Every day we make agent recommendations all across the United States, connecting consumers with the very best agents in every local region.
We're data driven
You aren't going to get referrals that don't make sense. If you only sell million dollar homes, our system will automatically filter appropriate buyers and sellers to you. There's no wasted time on referrals that aren't the right fit.
No results = No cost
If you do not close one of our referrals, there's no fee. It's that simple. There are no monthly fees, whatsoever. The only fee is a straight forward referral fee that's only due when you earn a commission.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
You have questions.
Luckily, we have answers.
Can I boost my ranking on your website?
Yes you can and, no, we won't do it for you. The only way to boost your ranking is to sell more real estate, quicker, in the specified market area in which you desire boosted rankings.
Is there a monthly fee?
There are no monthly fees, the only fee you pay is our broker to broker referral fee which is due if and when you successfully close a transaction for one of our mutual clients.
I am a new or part-time agent, can I still sign up?
You can register but you will not receive referrals from our platform until you are identified as a top agent by our algorithm. Our suggestion is to only register once you have achieved some degree of market dominance. We do not make referrals to agents that are not in the top 5% in terms of overall sales in a given region.
Success stories
Choosing the right referral partner is a big decision. Read some of our agent's success stories.
This was a great experience. I received the referral and listed the home the same week. A couple of weeks later I closed the sale and the whole process went without a hitch. I recommend Effective Agents for anyone looking for a great real estate agent and for any real estate agent looking for a quality referral and a transaction that will go smoothly!
