What to know about top real estate agents in Costa Mesa, CA
Top Costa Mesa real estate agents combine deep, local expertise with higher-than-average performance. Here’s what that looks like in Costa Mesa.
General
High transaction volume: Does more than 24 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 Costa Mesa is 100%)
Strong marketing strategy: Beautiful photos, compelling listing descriptions, maximum visibility
Faster-than-average sales: Gets homes under contract quickly (median sale timeline in Costa Mesa is 52 days)
Buyers
Strong negotiator: The best buyer’s agents in Costa Mesa 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 Costa Mesa 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 Costa Mesa 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
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.
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.
