Premier Agent · By ApplicationTwo seats per town
The most prominent place an agent can stand.
Premier is the single most visible position on Southern Marin Agents. The only large ad on a town page, top billing in the agent grid, and a name on every Concierge referral we send for your town. It is a seat you're selected for.
Apply for your townWhy Premier is different
Everything the directory offers, pointed at you.
Featured agents share a grid. Basic agents share a list. A Premier agent owns the most prominent placement on the page and is the first name our Concierge hands a serious buyer or seller.
01Of two seats
A buyer reading your town page sees one agent before any other. We're reserving that for the people who've earned it.
Southern Marin Agents vets both Premier agents in every town, so the seat means something to the homeowner reading it.
Here is everything the seat includes.
The only hero ad on the page
A large showcase placement that rotates between the very top and bottom of your town's results. The first and last thing a visitor sees.
Top billing in the agent grid
A large-format Premier card leading "Agents We'd Call," above every Featured and Basic listing in the town.
On every Concierge referral for your town
When a buyer or seller asks our Concierge to match them, Premier agents are included on every request for their market. Every referral arrives as a warm introduction.
Headline & pitch written with our editor
We craft your positioning line and short pitch with you, so your placement reads like editorial.
A dedicated editorial profile
Your own profile page on the domain (photo, stats, tenure, signature quote) linked from every town page you appear on.
Featured exposure on three more pages
Carry Featured Agent placement onto three city pages of your choice.
An invitation to publish
Submit articles through the year, such as market notes and neighborhood insight, for byline exposure across the site.
First right of renewal
Hold your seat year over year at founding-partner rates before it ever returns to the wait list.
A selected seat
Two agents per town, by application only. Seats renew annually and open only when a holder steps away.

What we look for
Who earns a seat.
Your name rides on every referral we send, so we're selective. You don't need to check every box, but the strongest applications speak to most of these.
06What matters
02Criterion
A track record that holds up
Consistent production and a sales history we can stand behind. We look for steadiness and outcomes we would be comfortable pointing a homeowner toward, whatever the volume.
Verified at review
03Criterion
Reputation & references
Past clients who'd vouch for you and a clean professional standing in the community.
Optional
04Criterion
Responsiveness
Premier agents receive every Concierge referral for their town. That only works if you reply fast and follow through, because a slow inbox undoes the whole point.
Concierge-critical
05Criterion
An editorial voice
A willingness to contribute a few pieces a year (market notes, neighborhood insight) that makes the directory genuinely better to read, and your byline more visible.
Bonus
06Criterion
Real community roots
Ties to the place that go past transactions, whether that is school involvement or civic life. We want the agent a neighbor would call first.
Tells us you're here to stay
