A seller's advisory service

The right listing agent is rarely the loudest one.

Compare listing agents on evidence — recent nearby sales, marketing scope, fees, and fit — before you sign anything.

Every agent says they're number one. We show you the evidence — so you can hire the number-one fit for your home, your market, and your situation.

How I work

No agent yet? We build the field.

Tell us about the home, the market, and what matters to you. We source candidates through brokerage networks, transaction data, and direct interviews — then present the two or three strongest fits with a side-by-side comparison. No additional cost to you; the hired agent's brokerage pays a standard referral fee at closing.

Have a name in mind? We benchmark them.

A neighbor's recommendation or a familiar name is a starting point, not a decision. We put your candidate through the same scorecard as agents we source, so you can see whether the comfortable choice is also the strong one — before you sign a listing agreement.

Already interviewed agents? We help you decide.

The hardest moment is holding three different proposals with three different fees, marketing plans, and pricing opinions. Our flat-fee Agent Evaluation Report normalizes what each agent actually offered so you can compare them line by line — and we get paid the same no matter whom you choose.

Frequently asked

What does Agent Match Concierge cost?
It depends on who brings the candidates. When we source and refer the agents, there is no additional cost to you — if you hire one and close, that agent's brokerage pays Compass a standard referral fee (25–30%, the same for every candidate we present). When you bring your own agents and want them compared, the Agent Evaluation Report is a flat fee, quoted before we start — and because we're paid the same regardless of whom you pick, the report has no reason to steer you.
How is this different from HomeLight, Agent Pronto, or other matching sites?
Three ways. First, you see the evidence: a side-by-side comparison of each agent's recent nearby sales, pricing outcomes, marketing scope, fees, and communication — not names from a black box. Second, you can bring your own candidates; most matching sites only recommend agents from their own paying network. Third, every candidate we present operates under the same referral standard, so compensation cannot influence the recommendation.
How many listing agents should I interview before choosing?
At least two, ideally three. Industry research consistently shows most sellers contact only one agent before signing — which means the decision is usually made by familiarity, not comparison. Interviewing three agents with the same questions is the single highest-leverage hour in your entire sale.
Can you evaluate agents I've already interviewed?
Yes — that's often the most valuable moment to bring us in. Send us the proposals or names you've collected and we'll produce a flat-fee Agent Evaluation Report: the same scorecard we use for agents we source, applied to your candidates, with a written recommendation and the reasoning behind it. You make the final call.
