How Top Agents rankings work

Cribber compares agents and teams using 12 months of local listing activity, including active listings, homes with recorded sales, and other off-market listings. Each monthly leaderboard uses consistent geographic boundaries and crediting rules, with supporting listings you can inspect.

A home’s history does not end when it leaves the market. Cribber keeps qualifying past listings in the comparison, helping you see an agent’s broader listing record over time.

A listing record across every stage

Cribber brings together current and past sale-listing evidence from RentCast and retained recorded-sale evidence. A home remains eligible for its agent’s listing record when its selected listing episode overlaps the trailing 12-month window, including homes that have since left active inventory.

• Active: A home identified as actively listed at the observation or edition cutoff.
• Sold: A home with qualifying recorded-sale evidence matched to its listing episode.
• Inactive: An off-market listing without a qualifying recorded-sale match in the available evidence.

A recorded-sale match uses the same property and a qualifying date relative to the listing episode. These status labels describe the supporting homes. Homes Listed compares credited listing activity; a sold count or closed-sale price is identified separately when recorded-sale evidence supports it.

Consistent credit for each home

Canonical property and unit identities reconcile repeat observations of the same home. The ranking selects the latest qualifying listing episode before geographic and agent filters, so repeat records do not create extra credits. A property counts once per agent within a geography. Explicit co-listing agents each receive full credit; named teams can receive documented credit. Team or brokerage membership alone does not create it. Ambiguous attribution is withheld.

Two ways to compare agents

Homes Listed. Distinct qualifying homes credited to an agent or team during the reporting window. Current and past listings contribute under the same rules; co-listing agents each receive credit.

Asking Volume. The combined selected observed asking prices of credited homes. A volume rank requires a usable asking price for every qualifying home. The selected price is the latest usable observed asking price associated with the qualifying episode, with its source and observation date. Missing prices remain unavailable and homes still contribute to Homes Listed. Asking prices and recorded sale prices remain separately labeled.

Typical Asking Price describes the stored median of the selected priced homes. It is descriptive price-segment context in the current consumer presentation. Two to four priced homes are marked as a small sample; a single priced home is labeled Asking price. The priced-home count accompanies the value. Historical price-based standings retain their original metric provenance, including the five-home and 90% coverage eligibility requirements.

Local boundaries and shared ranks

Municipalities use official Census boundaries and coordinate assignments. Neighborhoods use retained high-confidence polygon assignments. Each comparison uses one geography, reporting window and prepared edition. A home can appear in both its city and neighborhood comparisons, once within each.

Equal values share a competition rank, including across pages. Asking volume, listing count and stable agent identity resolve display order where applicable. Observed listing share divides an agent’s credited homes by the unique qualifying homes in that edition. Co-listing credits overlap, so the agents’ shares can sum to more than 100%.

Dated editions you can verify

Leaderboards publish monthly editions from verified captures. Each page identifies its reporting window, data cutoff, publication date, eligible agents and qualifying homes. Daily ingestion prepares evidence separately. Published historical figures are preserved; a correction creates a new revision.

Each comparison covers the geography, reporting window and qualifying records stated in the edition. Supporting listings show the evidence behind the figures. Payment never changes eligibility, counts or rank.

Follow a leaderboard’s supporting-listing links to inspect the homes and credited agents. Its JSON and Markdown downloads provide the same edition, metric, dates and evidence links. Current profile inventory can change after an edition is published; use the edition’s own evidence to reproduce its totals.

Map leaders and introduction partners

The Featured Agent on the map comes from the highest eligible Asking Volume position in the published territory edition. Tied positions are identified as shared. When there is no eligible Asking Volume leader, that placement stays empty. Homes Listed remains the default leaderboard comparison.

An eligible introduction partner may receive an area’s introduction placement. Paid placements are labeled beside the introduction action. Payment and subscriptions do not change objective rankings, listing counts or attribution.
