How we rank agents
We balance responsiveness, listing quality, and trust signals to highlight a single Top Rated agency in each Dublin district. Agents cannot pay to improve their ranking.
A balanced, evidence-based recommendation
We use a simple scorecard that blends real response behaviour with listing quality and trust. The goal is to surface the agency most likely to deliver a strong seller experience in each district.

How are listings and rankings set?
Listings are shown using verification and local coverage data. Top Rated uses the same published scorecard for every agency, based on response and performance signals for each district.
Ranking and revenue separation
Ranking inclusion
Any PSRA-licensed agency can be considered once core profile data is verified.
Qualified introductions
If a seller chooses to be introduced to an estate agent, any commercial fee sits separately from ranking logic. Payment never changes ranking order.
