Scoring & Ranking

Score each user by:

• followers → normalized 0-1 (cap at 50K), weight 0.30
• bio_match_score (contains: realtor, broker, real estate, property, agent, MLS) → 0 or 1, weight 0.40
• has_website → 0 or 1, weight 0.30

score = 0.30 * min(followers / 50000, 1.0) + 0.40 * int(bio_match) + 0.30 * int(has_website)

Edge Cases

• Generic bio keywords: "house" or "home" match too broadly. Use "realtor", "real estate agent", "MLS".
• Personal accounts mixed in: Filter by followers > 200 and has website link.
• Bot accounts: Unusually high following-to-follower ratio — filter out.
• Keyword not in bio: Twitter user search matches bio text — results may vary if bio is non-standard.
• International agents: Use country-specific terms (e.g., "estate agent" for UK).
