What These Numbers Mean for Burien Buyers and Sellers
Burien presents a market where speed and price sensitivity coexist, and the Housing Market Trends module above frames the tension. Homes move quickly, with a median of 12 days on market and 47.8% of listings leaving the market within two weeks. At the same time, the median sale price moved -4.6% year over year, and 33.8% of active listings have taken a price reduction. Those two signals point in different directions, and that split is where negotiating leverage becomes situational rather than uniform.
For buyers, the 27.1% share of homes selling above list price shows that well-priced, move-in-ready properties still draw competition, so lowball offers on fresh listings rarely land. The 2.6 months of supply keeps conditions closer to balanced than to a runaway seller's market. The practical read: pursue homes that have been sitting (part of that 33.8% price-drop group) for room to negotiate, and compete cleanly on newer listings. A sale-to-list ratio of 99.19% means final prices land very near asking on average.
For sellers, pricing accuracy is the deciding factor. With 104 active listings and 160 new listings arriving monthly against 40 closings, overpricing invites the reductions nearly a third of sellers have already made. Homes priced to the current $406.89 per square foot tend to clear fast. Choosing the right representation matters in this environment: Burien has 413 licensed agents, and outcomes vary widely by who structures the deal.

What to Look for in a Burien Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks the measurable track record that actually predicts results. In Burien, EffectiveAgents has ranked 90 agents out of 413 licensed professionals, using verified transaction data rather than advertising spend. The top-ranked agent, George Graham at John L. Scott Real Estate, has closed 1,417 transactions across a career, with $499.9M in all-time sales volume and a review history that spans dozens of clients. That volume matters most in negotiation: an agent who has structured hundreds of deals recognizes when a property in Old Burien or Gregory Heights warrants competing above list, and when a lingering listing in Boulevard Park justifies a firmer counter. With 27.1% of homes selling above asking yet 33.8% taking reductions, that judgment separates a clean close from a stalled one. When comparing agents, read review patterns for consistency over time rather than a single standout year, and weigh how experience aligns with the specific neighborhood you are targeting.
How We Rank Burien 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 Burien 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.

Burien Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Burien, WA?
The top-ranked agent in Burien, WA by verified performance is George Graham at John L. Scott Real Estate, with 1,417 career transactions and $499.9M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents ranks agents using measured transaction data, sales history, and client reviews rather than self-promotion. Among 413 licensed agents in the area, 90 have earned a ranking. The right choice depends on your price point and neighborhood, so we recommend comparing several ranked agents against your specific goals before deciding.
How were these Burien 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 Burien?
Our data covers 413 real estate agents serving the Burien area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Burien market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Burien mean for sellers?
Burien's median sale price is $664,560 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 Burien?
Homes in Burien currently sell in a median of 12 days, and that timeline held at a -1 day change year over year. Roughly 47.8% of listings leave the market within two weeks, though your actual timeline depends on pricing accuracy, condition, and location. Accurately priced, move-in-ready homes move fastest, while listings that start high often join the 33.8% of properties taking reductions, which extends the process. Seasonal demand and the current 2.6 months of supply also influence how quickly a specific home sells.
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 Burien 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 Burien 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 Burien 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 Burien realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Burien 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.
