What to know about top real estate agents in Arizona
Top Arizona real estate agents combine deep, local expertise with higher-than-average performance. Here’s what that looks like in Arizona.
General
- High transaction volume: Does more than 11 sales per year (local median)
- Well established: At least 3–5+ years of experience in the local market
- Good reputation: High total review count and average ratings
Sellers
- Pricing expertise: Few-to-no price drops
- High sale-to-list ratios: Typically sells near or above list price (median sale-to-list in Arizona is 99%)
- Strong marketing strategy: Beautiful photos, compelling listing descriptions, maximum visibility
- Faster-than-average sales: Gets homes under contract quickly (median sale timeline in Arizona is 87 days)
Buyers
- Strong negotiator: The best buyer’s agents in Arizona often save 5-10% off list price
- Local expertise: Know neighborhoods, schools, amenities, regulations
- Responsive and accessible: Reviews consistently call out these specific traits
Most likely, yes. The vast majority of home sellers in Arizona will get the best outcome and most money selling with a top local real estate agent. That said, it really depends on your goals.
Consider listing with a Arizona realtor if:
- You're aiming for top dollar or need help navigating pricing and offers
- You want someone to handle the full process—marketing, showings, negotiation, paperwork
- Your property is typical for the area and priced at or above $200,000
Consider alternatives if:
- You want a faster sale and are open to a cash offer from a cash home buyer or iBuyer
- You’re cost-conscious and want to save on commission with a discount real estate broker
- You want to avoid realtor commission altogether and are comfortable trying FSBO (for sale by owner), knowing that FSBO sales usually net less and require a lot of work.
In Arizona, the average real estate commission is about 5.82%, while the national average is (5.7%).
- Typically, this gets split between the listing and buyer’s agents (2.9% and 2.92%, respectively).
- Rates are negotiable and may be lower for higher-priced homes or repeat clients.
- Following the NAR settlement, buyers may need to negotiate their agent's fee directly.
Sell with a top agent and save
With Clever, sellers can list with a top local agent for just 1.5% (or $3,000 flat) — up to 50% less than the typical rate in Arizona.
Whether you’re hiring a buyer’s or seller’s agent, you should ask about their past experience. You should find out their plan to market a property you’re selling or how they will help you find the perfect home to buy. You should also ask how often they’ve handled homes in the price point and neighborhood that you’re selling or purchasing in.
It’s a good idea to review at least three real estate agents, so you can compare their offerings. You’ll want to find an agent that’s the best fit, so focus on their communication skills, their professionalism, their pricing, and their familiarity with transactions similar to yours.
If you’re both selling a home and purchasing a new one, using the same agent can simplify the process. But you’ll need to find an agent with a successful track record as both a listing agent and a buyer’s agent. While some real estate agents do both, some of the best real estate professionals specialize in either representing buyers or listing properties
If a traditional agent isn’t the right fit, here are some Arizona alternatives:
- Get fast, no-obligation offers from investors, iBuyers, and bridge loan providers.
- Ideal for distressed homes, tight timelines, or sellers prioritizing speed over top price.
- Offer lower commissions (often 1–2%) while still providing MLS access and support.
- Good option if you want to save but still prefer professional help.
- Pay a one-time fee to list your home on the MLS.
- You'll handle pricing, showings, and negotiation yourself — best for experienced sellers.
- No agent involvement, no commission—but you’ll do everything yourself.
- FSBO homes typically sell for less, so weigh potential savings vs. final sale price.
Pro tip: Even if you go non-traditional, consider services like Clever or local offer platforms — they help you compare your options and connect with agents or investors offering discounts, fast offers, or both.
Arizona is currently a buyer's market, due to fewer active homebuyers and more homes available for sale.
- The market has an average of 5 months of supply, meaning it would take about that long for all available homes to sell if no new listings were added. There were 31,766 homes for sale in AZ in the last month. Sellers added 1,946 new listings, and 1,934 home sales closed in that time.
- On average, properties spend 87 days on the market, and it takes 56 days for a home to go under contract.
Homes in Arizona are selling for less on average compared to the previous month. More sellers reduced their listing price this month compared to last month.
- 2,654 homes dropped in price this month. That's around 8% of all homes on the market, compared to the 7.53% of listings that lowered prices the month before.
- The median home in Arizona ultimately sells for $435,000 – 1.1% less than its original list price.
