What to know about top real estate agents in Washington, DC

Top Washington real estate agents combine deep, local expertise with higher-than-average performance. Here’s what that looks like in Washington. 

General 

  • High transaction volume: Does more than 14 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 Washington 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 Washington is 41 days)

Buyers

  • Strong negotiator: The best buyer’s agents in Washington 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 Washington 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 Washington 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 Washington, the average real estate commission is about 5.5%, while the national average is (5.57%).

  • Typically, this gets split between the listing and buyer’s agents (2.75% and 2.75%, 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 Washington.

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

Washington, District of Columbia is currently a buyer's market, due to fewer active homebuyers and more homes available for sale.

  • The market has an average of 3.9 months of supply, meaning it would take about that long for all available homes to sell if no new listings were added. There were 9,887 homes for sale in Washington in the last month. Sellers added 305 new listings, and 265 home sales closed in that time.
  • On average, properties spend 41 days on the market, and it takes 50 days for a home to go under contract.

Homes in Washington, District of Columbia are selling for less on average compared to the previous month. Fewer sellers reduced their listing price this month compared to last month.

  • 466 homes dropped in price this month. That's around 5% of all homes on the market, compared to the 6.17% of listings that lowered prices the month before.
  • The median home in Washington, District of Columbia ultimately sells for its original list price: $574,916.
