How we rank the best estate agents in Cockenzie and Port Seton
Every estate agent in AgentSeeker's Cockenzie and Port Seton ranking is scored out of 100 on four things
we can actually observe, each worth up to 25 points. No agent can pay to move up the list, and
we never adjust a score by hand.
-
Reputation: the agent's Google rating, and how many people took the time to
leave one. Volume matters as much as the average.
-
Value: how competitive the fee is. Some agents set their own; where they
haven't, AgentSeeker quotes the fee on your behalf and each card says which is which.
Either way the percentage is inclusive of VAT, it is what you would pay, and it cannot
rise at contract stage. In Cockenzie and Port Seton fees start at 1.5%.
-
Activity: how many homes they currently have on the market across
Cockenzie and Port Seton, taken from live listing data rather than anything an agent tells us about
themselves.
-
Standing: how they rank against the other agents actually working the same
postcode districts.
Two figures are deliberately absent: achieved price against asking, and average time to sell.
They are the two that matter most, and we are building them from HM Land Registry records rather
than asking agents to report on themselves. Until that data is ready we leave them out, because
a number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number at all.
