Our data covers 5,643 real estate agents serving the St. Louis area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our St. Louis market data, not simply everyone holding a license.

St. Louis's median sale price is $270,000 as of May 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.

Homes in St. Louis currently take a median of 15 to sell, though that figure reflects a -4 days change from a year ago. With 54.3% of homes going under contract within two weeks, accurately priced and well-presented listings move quickly. Timeline depends heavily on pricing strategy, condition, location, and season. The 32.8% of listings that recorded a price reduction shows that homes priced too high tend to sit longer, so setting the right number from day one is the most reliable way to shorten time on market.

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 St. Louis 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 St. Louis 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.
