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 93 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.

A few well-chosen questions can quickly separate strong agents from the rest. Sally Liddicoat, a Phoenix real estate agent, offers this advice: "Look for an agent that listens to your wants and needs and then goes to work to fill them. Also look for an agent that doesn't just tell you what you want to hear — honest and frank [advice] and feedback [go] a long way." How an agent responds to your questions and preferences often says more than their resume.

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:

Cash buyer services

  • 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.

Discount brokerages

  • 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.

Flat-Fee MLS (FFMLS)

  • Pay a one-time fee to list your home on the MLS.
  • You'll handle pricing, showings, and negotiation yourself — best for experienced sellers.

For Sale By Owner (FSBO)

  • 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 seller's market, due to more active homebuyers and fewer homes available for sale.

  • The market has an average of 4.3 months of supply, meaning it would take about that long for all available homes to sell if no new listings were added. There were 29,493 homes for sale in AZ in the last month. Sellers added 1,437 new listings, and 1,923 home sales closed in that time.
  • On average, properties spend 93 days on the market, and it takes 57 days for a home to go under contract.

Homes in Arizona are selling for less on average compared to the previous month. Fewer sellers reduced their listing price this month compared to last month.

  • 2,300 homes dropped in price this month. That's around 8% of all homes on the market, compared to the 8.62% of listings that lowered prices the month before.
  • The median home in Arizona ultimately sells for $436,975 – 1.14% less than its original list price.

In February 2026, we asked Sally Liddicoat, a Phoenix real estate agent, for their thoughts on the local real estate market. They said, "Our industry has had many changes in the last few years. This past year has been [a] slower market. I expect this to change in 2026 and have already noticed a difference." If that anticipated shift takes hold, buyers who are positioned early may get ahead of rising demand — while sellers could see stronger activity than in recent months.

How we research and evaluate top realtors in Arizona

Data sources

Our rankings are powered by real estate transaction data, internal research, and other publicly available sources. We compiled and analyzed over 25,823,400 data points for 14,798 real estate agents across Arizona.

Any customer ratings and reviews surfaced on this page are powered by Zillow Group via the Zillow Bridge API. Average ratings, review counts, and individual reviews are sourced directly from Zillow's verified review platform and refreshed regularly. Some reviews may be for team members associated with the agent.

We make every effort to ensure accuracy, but no dataset is perfect. Some activity may not be captured if information isn’t available or accurate from our sources. We update and refine our data regularly to improve coverage and reliability.

Methodology

There’s no single “best” real estate agent — the right fit depends on your goals and situation. Our approach is designed to highlight agents with strong, well-rounded performance and make it easier to compare real estate agents in Arizona.

We look at factors that matter most to typical buyers and sellers, such as:

  • Transaction volume and recent activity
  • Balance of buyer- and seller-side representation
  • Pricing accuracy and negotiation outcomes
  • Speed of sales relative to the local market
  • Years of experience and proven track record
  • Specialized expertise with certain property types or client needs

We use these key indicators to surface agents who are likely to be a good fit for most people, while giving you the data you need to decide which qualities matter most for your own situation.

Ongoing updates

Rankings are updated regularly as new data becomes available. Our goal is to provide a clear, objective view of agent performance to help you make an informed choice when hiring a real estate professional.
