What These Numbers Mean for Clifton Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above establishes the baseline for Clifton, VA (zip code 20124): a median sale price of $1,249,173, homes measured at $208.24 per square foot, and a median of 112 days on market. This is a low-volume market, with 0 home sold in the latest monthly reading against 0 active listing and 0 months of supply, so a single transaction can swing the medians substantially. Read the numbers as directional signals rather than precise averages.
Negotiating leverage here is genuinely split. The sale-to-list ratio sits at 96.52%, indicating sellers are largely holding their asking prices at the closing table. At the same time, 49.5% of listings leave the market within two weeks while 49.5% of listings record a price cut, a combination showing that correctly priced homes move quickly and overpriced ones stall. With 0 months of supply, conditions lean balanced rather than decisively toward either party.
For a buyer, this means competing hard and near ask on fresh, well-priced listings, while reserving room to negotiate on properties that have logged a price drop or extended past 112 days. For a seller, the message is to price precisely from the start, since the price-drop share confirms that aspirational pricing gets penalized with longer market time. Working through the data in a thin market is where an experienced local agent matters, and Clifton has 482 licensed agents to evaluate.

What to Look for in a Clifton Realtor
Name recognition and yard-sign frequency are poor proxies for results. A more reliable approach is to examine verified transaction history, closing outcomes, and how an agent negotiates against measured local conditions. In Clifton, EffectiveAgents has ranked 84 agents out of 482 licensed professionals, filtering for demonstrated performance rather than marketing spend. The top-ranked agent, Karen Gales at Re/Max Gateway, has closed 1,020 transactions with $410.1M in all-time sales volume. That depth matters in a market this thin, where 0 home sold in the latest month and pricing precision is everything, given that 49.5% of listings recorded a cut. An agent who understands zip code 20124 pricing at $208.24 per square foot can help sellers land near the 96.52% sale-to-list benchmark and help buyers identify which listings past 112 days offer real negotiating room. When reviewing agents, read for patterns across multiple reviews rather than a single testimonial, and note how consistently outcomes match the claims made.
How We Rank Clifton Real Estate Agents
Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Clifton market today.
Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

Clifton Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Clifton, VA?
The highest-ranked agent in Clifton, VA by verified performance is Karen Gales at Re/Max Gateway, with 1,020 career transactions and $410.1M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents does not rank on advertising budget or name recognition. Our methodology analyzes closing data, transaction history, and client review patterns across the 482 licensed agents serving the area, then surfaces the 84 who meet our performance thresholds. Because Clifton is a low-volume market, comparing two or three ranked agents against your specific price point and timeline is the recommended next step.
How were these Clifton real estate agents ranked?
Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.
How many real estate agents are in Clifton?
Our data covers 482 real estate agents serving the Clifton area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Clifton market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Clifton mean for sellers?
Clifton's median sale price is $1,249,173 as of August 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.
How long does it take to sell a house in Clifton?
Homes in Clifton currently take a median of 112 days to sell, and that pace has shifted by a +104 days change compared with last year. Your actual timeline depends heavily on pricing: with 49.5% of listings going under contract within two weeks but 49.5% recording a price cut, correctly priced homes move fast while overpriced ones stall. Condition, seasonality, and the thin inventory of 0 active listing at 0 months of supply also influence how long your sale takes.
Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?
No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.
Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?
No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.
What commission do Clifton realtors charge?
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.
Should I use a local Clifton agent or a national brand?
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 Clifton 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.
What questions should I ask a Clifton realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Clifton 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.
