AI selection vs open marketplace

Best Agents Match

One match. Chosen by AI.

Haven AI scores every verified agent across 20 performance dimensions using real transaction data — sale-to-list ratio, days-on-market, negotiation score, buyer network depth, and more. The single highest-scoring agent for your home is introduced. No bidding, no competing calls, no open marketplace for your listing.

Sold.com

Open bidding. Multiple calls.

Sold.com shares your property details with multiple agents who then compete to win your listing. There is no AI performance scoring — any agent in the network can bid. You receive calls from multiple competing agents and must evaluate them yourself. Referral fees range from 25% to 35% depending on the transaction.

Frequently asked questions

What is Sold.com and how does it work?

Sold.com is an agent marketplace where sellers enter their property details and multiple agents bid for the listing opportunity. There is no AI scoring system — agents self-register and compete for leads. Sold.com charges agents a referral fee ranging from 25% to 35% of their commission at closing.

How does Best Agents Match compare to Sold.com?

BAM charges a flat 25% referral fee — lower than Sold.com's variable 25–35% — and uses Haven AI's 20-dimension scoring to deliver one exclusive agent match. Sold.com sends multiple competing agents who each reach out to the seller directly.

Does Sold.com use AI to match agents?

Sold.com does not use an AI scoring system. It is an open marketplace where agents opt in to compete for listings. BAM's Haven AI analyzes 20 quantitative performance dimensions including sale-to-list ratio, days-on-market, and negotiation outcomes to identify the highest performer.

What is Sold.com's referral fee?

Sold.com charges agents between 25% and 35% of their commission as a referral fee, depending on the transaction. BAM charges a flat 25% — so agents earn more and can invest more in marketing your home.

How many agents will contact me through Sold.com?

Sold.com routes your information to multiple competing agents who then contact you directly. BAM's model is different: Haven AI makes the selection, and exactly one exclusive agent is introduced — no competing calls.

Is Sold.com free for sellers?

Yes, Sold.com is free for sellers. Like BAM, Sold.com earns its fee from the agent's commission at closing. The key differences are in the matching method, referral fee range, and how many agents contact the seller.

Is Best Agents Match available in all states?

BAM currently serves California. Sold.com operates nationally. BAM is expanding to additional states in 2026.

Why is a single exclusive agent better than multiple competing agents?

When multiple agents know they are competing for your listing, each invests less time and fewer resources before they know they've won. A single exclusive AI-matched agent can invest fully from day one — with pricing analysis, marketing planning, and buyer network activation — because the match is already confirmed.
