The gold medal is awarded to those brokerages that offer products, tools or website features that are innovative and
extensive, meeting or exceeding all of the criteria we have established in a given category. The silver medal
recognizes website offerings that provide strong value but suffer from a few small flaws while the bronze medal goes
to those features that are imperfect yet maintain a distinct value or unique capability. In this slide deck, we highlight
the gold medal winners across all categories.
