Top 25 Real Estate Agents In Arizona

FastExpert ranks its agents based on their number of successful sales, real customer reviews, and years active. We collect each real estate agent’s transaction history to provide the most accurate data in our directory of top agents. We like to use the data of the last three years of closed sales as a reference point, as it shows how well the agent is doing now - not 10 years ago.

We only show true and accurate data, and our agents cannot buy their way into a higher ranking. At FastExpert, you’ll always see the most accurate and up-to-date rankings with our top real estate agents.

According to the Arizona Department of Real Estate as of May 2020, there are a total of 164,658 licensed real estate agents.

Total real estate agent fees (including seller and buyer’s agents) range from 4-6% of the total home sale price. This is a negotiable rate, so talk with your agent.

The commission is split between the seller’s agent and the buyer’s agent. So if a home sells for $500,000 and the commission is 5%, the total fee is $25,000 with $12,500 for each agent.

The home seller usually pays for this fee, but it can be put on the buyer depending on what both sides agree on.

If an agent works with a brokerage, those fees come out of Fees for the agent’s commission. Brokerages can take 10-40% of an agent’s commission, depending on experience level. As a seller or buyer, you probably don’t have to worry about this, as it is included in the agent fee.

Arizona real estate agents do much more than just put a sign in front of your house. A good Realtor will work with you from the moment you decide to sell your home to after you hand over the key.

This includes things like working with appraisers to set the right listing price, staging, having pictures taken, preparing the listing, online marketing, open houses, working with individual showings, answering questions, negotiating, closing paperwork, and so much more!

If you don’t think hiring a real estate agent is worth the money, think about this - according to the National Association of Realtors, in 2021 the average home sold FSBO (for sale by owner) sold for 32% less than the average home sold with a Realtor.

The seller commonly pays the realtor fee. But this is negotiated and decided in the final agreement. Be sure to discuss this with your agent before you decide to work with them.
