General 

  • High transaction volume: Does more than 18 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 Rochester 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 Rochester is 52 days)

Buyers

  • Strong negotiator: The best buyer’s agents in Rochester 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 Rochester 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 Rochester 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 Rochester, the average real estate commission is about 6.02%, while the national average is (5.57%).

  • Typically, this gets split between the listing and buyer’s agents (3.17% and 2.85%, 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 Rochester.

If a traditional agent isn’t the right fit, here are some Rochester-area 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.
