Using real estate science
Our research tool is transforming the way real estate agents are evaluated and ranked. With a vast national database of over 30,000 agents, we concentrate on those active in your area, who are getting great results, in order to tailor our recommendations to your specific needs. Our rankings are based on customer reviews and detailed sales analyses, ensuring you only engage with agents who meet your criteria, without any obligation or fees.
An emphasis on quality
We place a high value on the quality of agents in your search. Our dedicated team scrutinises performance indicators, including millions of sales and a wealth of client feedback, to identify the industry's finest agents. This initiative is driven by our fundamental objective of ensuring transparency in the real estate process, thus empowering sellers to make well-informed decisions when choosing an agent.
Our roots
Founded by Marta and Zoe, OpenAgent was born out of the necessity for transparency in the real estate industry. We sought to create a service that provided clear insights into the performance of agents, akin to the detailed information available for overseas hotels.
How our service works
Our service remains complimentary for vendors. After a property is sold, the successful agent pays OpenAgent a referral fee. This arrangement aligns our interests with both the homeowner and the agent, ensuring our recommendations are impartial and that agents cannot transfer this fee to vendors.
