METHODLOGY
Real estate is a referral business: You ask around to find out who has worked with which agent, and if they would work with them again. With our annual Best Real Estate Agents list, we’ve done the work for you. We asked you, our readers, which real estate agents you’ve worked with in the past, and who you would recommend to your friends and family. The agents who received the most votes in our online poll made our list. Then we asked the winning agents to share what neighborhoods they specialize in (though many work across the entire region). See the results below. Although some winners choose to advertise in the magazine, no one can pay to be included on this list. The listing and advertising sections are separate entities.
