This is a commonly asked question we get all the time and one that is not straightforward to answer. The way realtors are generally ranked is by their amount of sales. This shows which realtors are transacting the highest volume. This does not necessarily mean they are doing the best service.
It is important to interview the agent and find someone you are comfortable with. You should have a general positive feeling and feel that the agent is trustworthy. It is a good idea to ask friends who have recently bought or sold a home about their experiences. It is likely one of your friends will recommend a realtor they have done past business with. Every client is going to have different needs and you must make sure that realtor is going to fit in with your situation. If you live in Walnut Creek, California you should be looking for a realtor that knows the area. If your realtor services Lafayette, Concord, Moraga, and Orinda it is likely they will be knowledgeable about your area. However, if you are interviewing an agent that works in Martinez, Benicia, and Vallejo it is likely they will not be as good of a fit as the former.
The main difference between real estate agents are their attitude. You want to hire the realtor you believe will be the most successful for you. This may include the one who is willing to spend the most time at your house for some. For others it is the agents who is always able to return calls the same day and offer encouraging support throughout the transaction. Remember you are using your own social experiences to select the realtor that is the right fit for you, similar to how you might select your friends.
