Top 25 Real Estate Agents In Rhode Island (2021)

FastExpert ranks their agents based on their number of successful sales, real customer reviews and years active. We collect each real estate agent’s transaction history to provide the most accurate data in our directory of top agents. We like to use the data of the last three years of closed sales as a reference point, as it shows how well the agent is doing now - not 10 years ago. We only show true and accurate data and our agents cannot buy their way into a higher ranking. At FastExpert, you’ll always see the most accurate and up to date rankings with our top real estate agents.

Real estate agent fees range from 4-6% of the total home sale price. This is split between the seller’s agent and the buyer’s agent. So if a home sells for $500,000 and the commission is 5%, the total fee is $25,000 with $12,500 for each agent.

Fees for brokerages come out of the agent’s commission. Brokerages can take anywhere from 10-40% of an agent’s commission usually depending on experience level. As a seller or buyer, you probably don’t have to worry about this as it is included in the agent fee.

If you want to see if a real estate agent is licensed in Rhode Island you can visit the Rhode Island Department of Real Estate website and look them up by name. This will give you their license number, type, and city they are active in.

The realtor fee is commonly paid by the seller. You will usually see the fee included in the final closing costs for the sale of the property. On average, total commissions are about 4-6% of the total house sale price with half going to the seller’s agent and half going to the buyer’s agent. This is negotiable and is something you should discuss with your agent before you decide to work with them.
