Total $3,000 300% 100%
How the Buyer's Agent List (BAL) works:
Premier Agents, Premier Brokers and teams are shown
on the BAL of a listing page based on estimated Share of
Voice (SOV).
• SOV = percentage of times a Premier Agent will show
up on the BAL in that ZIP code.
• Premier Agents buy a percentage of the SOV in a zip
code and will show up in one of the three rotating BAL
spots based on how much of the total 300% the agent
purchased.
Each BAL is based on a total percentage of 300 and has
four spots:
• The first spot of the BAL will always show the Listing
Agent.
• Premier Agents show up in the next three slots based
on their SOV.
Example2:

1. Information displayed is generalized and may not reflect how the BAL appears for all listings.
