Is Sold by Data free?
Yes, completely free for sellers. We earn a referral fee from the agent only when a transaction closes. The seller never pays anything.

What areas does Sold by Data serve?

San Diego County for the moment. Hopefully, more markets soon!
We help homeowners evaluate real estate agents using actual sales data before they decide who to hire. We only use MLS performance data which is completely objective. There are no reviews, awards, marketing, or self-submitted data.

How will I get the report?
We’ll email it to you within two business days and walk you through it if you would like. Want to prioritize a fast sale? Do you have time, and is getting the highest price most important? Want someone from the neighborhood? We got you on all fronts.
Can an agent pay to rank higher?
6
No. Agent rankings are determined entirely by MLS performance data. There are no paid placements, no sponsored positions, and no way for an agent to influence their ranking other than by performing well.
What if I already have an agent in mind?
7
You can still use your report to see how your preferred agent ranks compared to others in your zip code. If they perform well by the data, that’s a great sign. If they don’t, it’s worth understanding why.
What data source does Sold by Data use?
8
All data is sourced from SDMLS, the San Diego Multiple Listing Service, which covers San Diego County. The report date and number of records analyzed are shown at the top of your report.
