Matching Methodology
This page explains how Nashville Realtor Near Me calculates the match scores shown to consumers. Our goal is transparency: you should understand exactly why each agent matched.
Inputs
Match scores are calculated from two sources of information:
- Consumer preferences: your goal, property type, price range, target Nashville area, priorities, and timeline — collected through the matching quiz.
- Agent-supplied information: each participating agent's self-reported specialties, service areas, buyer and seller focus, price ranges, property types, and client focus.
How Scoring Works
Each participating agent starts with a baseline participation score. We then add to that score based on how well the agent's stated profile aligns with your preferences:
- Service area overlap with your target Nashville area.
- Specialty alignment with your goal (e.g., relocation, investment, new construction).
- Property type expertise matching your selected property type.
- Priority alignment with the factors you said matter most.
- Price range overlap with your stated budget.
Scores are capped and presented as a percentage. The reasons behind each match are shown alongside the score.
What Match Scores Are Not
- They are not a measure of agent quality or skill.
- They are not an independent ranking of "the best" agents in Nashville.
- They are not a guarantee of a successful transaction.
- They do not reflect independently verified information in every case.
Paid Participation
Participating agents pay to appear on the platform. Only participating agents appear in match results. Payment affects who is eligible to appear, not the calculation of a given agent's score relative to your preferences. See our Advertising Disclosure.
Limitations
Matching relies on self-reported agent information and consumer-provided preferences. We do not independently verify every detail an agent supplies. Consumers should perform their own due diligence before engaging any agent.
