What does it mean when a realtor claims to be in the top 1 percent?

Top 1 percent designations in BC are typically awarded by real estate boards based on annual transaction volume or gross commission income. They measure how much an agent sells, not how well they serve clients, how accurate their pricing is, or how strong their negotiation outcomes are. A high-volume agent is not automatically the best match for every buyer or seller. For what actually matters when choosing, see what to look for when choosing a Victoria agent.

Some top-volume agents work with a large team and hand clients off to junior members. Others earn high rankings by focusing on lower-cost properties with high turnover. Always ask who will be handling your file day-to-day and what their specific experience is in your target neighborhood. Find a real estate agent in Victoria whose skills match your situation.
