Agents cannot pay for placement.

Our data covers 352 real estate agents serving the Pleasant Hill area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Pleasant Hill market data, not simply everyone holding a license.

Pleasant Hill's median sale price is $999,499 as of July 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.

In Pleasant Hill, the median home sells in about 17 days, though that figure reflects a -6 days change in market time versus last year. Speed varies sharply within that median: roughly 38.6% of homes go under contract within two weeks, while listings that are overpriced can stall, which is why 22.4% of homes record a price cut. Condition, accurate pricing against recent comps, staging, and the strength of your listing agent all move the timeline. Homes priced to market in a low-supply setting (months of supply near 1.2) tend to sell fastest.

No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.

No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.

Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.

The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Pleasant Hill neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.

Ask how many homes they have closed in Pleasant Hill in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
