Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.
For most people, buying a newly constructed 
One great example would be a beautiful new construction that is picture perfect. Bill and Sally Homeowner are thrilled, they did a home inspection and the only issues were small and easily fixed. Then they moved in and not a single phone jack could be found in any room but the kitchen! A call to the builder assured them there should be several phone jacks throughout the home. A quick walk through by the builder determined what had happened. Apparently the dry wall sub contractor never went back in and cut the openings for the phone lines to come through! Luckily in our story, the builder assisted the young couple and remedied the problem. Not all builders are as helpful, so you want to make sure you have a clause that will cover these things.
