Authorized Analyst Protocol

We Don't List "Salespeople".
We Verify Valuation Experts.

We analyzed 2,400+ recent Sandton transactions to identify the top 1% of agents who consistently predict the market, not just chase mandates.

1. The Valuation Audit
RIGOROUS

We don't accept pay-to-play listings. We audit an agent's last 20 sales to verify their List-to-Sell Ratio. If they habitually overprice to win, they are banned.

2. Accuracy Index
CORE METRIC

Our partners maintain a 96%+ Price Prediction Accuracy. This means when they give you a number, it's a bankable figure, not a marketing wish.

3. Off-Market Access
EXCLUSIVE

Public portals lag by 3-6 months. Our partners have access to real-time pending offer data, giving you the only advantage that matters: Information Speed.

Verified Suburb Experts

We partner with top-performing analysts, not just salespeople. Trust the data.
