How we rank agents

TopMakleri.lv's rankings are impartial — we don't sell anyone a better position in them or take ad money. The order comes only from public market data showing how actively each agent really works in your area.

What we don't count

  • Advertising or paid promotion.
  • Rentals in the ranking — we show them separately.
  • New-development listings (developer projects, not the resale market).
  • “We buy”-type listings — these are buying interest, not sales work.

What the ranking is based on

We count each agent's active sale listings in the chosen area. The more real listings for sale an agent has there, the higher they rank. This reflects genuine experience and presence — not a marketing budget. Agencies and every other ranking on the site are ordered the same way. Rentals are shown as a separate figure: they never lift anyone above the sellers, and agents with only rentals in an area come at the end of the list.

Data sources and freshness

We bring together publicly available property listings from Latvia's largest portals and combine the same agent's activity into one picture. Area pages update daily.

* The same agent often posts on several portals — we merge these so the same property isn't counted twice.

Data limitations

We rely on public data, so very recent activity or anything not published on portals may not show immediately. The ranking is a good starting point, but the final choice is always yours — we recommend contacting several agents and comparing their offers.

Agents' sales figures

On agent profiles, in search and on area pages we show sales work over the last 6 months. Sales only: rentals, new developments and "we buy" ads are left out. Portals publish no transaction prices, so we compare asking prices.

Sold in 6 months
Homes whose sale listing by the agent ended in a sale in the last 180 days. The same home listed on several portals counts once.
Sold at the first price
The share of sales where the last asking price was the agent's first asking price for that home. A listing taken down and posted again at a lower price counts as a price cut. Profiles show a count from 5 sales and a percentage from 10. The "Sells at the first price" badge goes to agents with at least 10 sales of which at least 85% went at the first price.
Price cut
Among all sales in the area where the price was cut, the median cut from the first asking price to the last. Shown when at least 40 homes of the same type sold in the area in the last 6 months.
Time to sell
From the listing going up to the sale, the median in whole weeks, from 8 sales. Our listing history starts on 19 May 2026: homes put up for sale before then are not included, so long sales are still under-represented.
Ended listings that sold
Of sale listings that ended in the last 6 months, the share that ended in a sale; the rest were withdrawn. From 10 ended listings.

Price changes over 50% and earlier listings whose floor area differs from the sold home by more than 5% are treated as data errors and left out.

The share sold at the first price, price cuts, time to sell and the share of ended listings that sold do not affect the ranking.

Frequently asked questions

Can an agent buy their way up the ranking?

No. The order comes only from public market data — the number of an agent's active listings for sale in the area. You can't buy a better position with advertising.

How fresh is the data?

We collect public listings continuously and area pages update every day.

Is the service free?

Yes, finding an agent and contacting them is completely free.

Is the commission higher because of you?

Your request goes to several agents at once, so they compete for you and you can compare their commissions yourself. The agent pays our fee out of their marketing budget, just as they pay for portal ads.

What does the "Usually replies within an hour" badge mean?

It shows how fast an agent has answered requests sent through TopMakleri.lv. An answer is the agent marking that they contacted the client, or replying to the request by email — opening the request does not count. We count time between 8:00 and 21:00, weekends included. An agent gets "within an hour" or "within a few hours" (up to 4 hours) when, over the last 12 months, they answered more than half of ALL requests sent to them that fast, including requests that never got an answer. The badge does not affect the ranking.

How is the association grade calculated?

The A–E grade is built from public data and compares the association with all apartment associations in Estonia. House condition (40%) takes the building's age into account – a new house needs no renovation – along with the energy certificate and the works on the building that its flats' sale ads describe (sellers' and brokers' unverified claims) – the more works (facade, roof, pipes, heating and so on), the better; in an older building, a loan taken for renovation also counts as investment. Loan affordability (30%) shows how many years of income the long-term liabilities equal – up to three years is entirely normal. Cash buffer (10%) is cash per m² of flat space averaged over the last three year-ends: without a loan a bigger buffer is better; with a loan a moderate one is enough. Management (20%) shows whether the last three years' reports were filed, and on time, with extra points for a professional manager. A loan is not bad in itself: in an older building it usually means the house has been renovated. The grade is updated weekly.
