Agents invited to ASCEND receive an Agent Score—a proprietary performance metric that benchmarks their business against the industry's top-tier professionals, both past and present.

The Agent Score is a percentile-based ranking that evaluates success within their peer group, using key data points such as sales volume, year-over-year growth, retention, tenure, listing activity, accuracy, and high-value properties ($5M+), among others.

Through in-depth conversations with RETSY’s founders, ASCEND candidates gain a firsthand look into our vision, growth strategy, and proven playbooks for building a future-proof career in luxury real estate.

These interviews also serve as a high-level evaluation of each agent’s reputation, performance history, entrepreneurial mindset, and alignment with RETSY’s mission.
