Find & Compare Residential Real Estate Agents in Your Area!

Residential real estate agents help people buy and sell homes: pricing a house, marketing it, finding listings that fit, arranging showings, negotiating offers and repairs, and keeping the contract on track to closing. People come to this page when they are about to sell, starting a home search, or moving to a new area and need someone who knows it.

Buyers are now generally asked to sign a written agreement with their agent before touring homes, so read what it says about compensation and how long it lasts. Sellers should ask how the agent arrived at a suggested price, what the marketing plan includes, and the length of the listing agreement and how to exit it. Commission is negotiable on both sides. Ask whether the agent works in real estate full-time, how they communicate, and whether they or a team member will handle your showings. Confirm the license through your state’s real estate regulator. For a closing that needs legal review, see real estate lawyers.

Every residential agent listed here submitted their own profile, and a person reviewed it before publication. If you help people buy or sell homes, apply to get listed — free, quick to finish.
