“Who is the best real estate agent in Great Falls, Montana?”

I can't name one "best" agent, because that depends on what you need: buying or selling, your price range, VA loans, and so on. Sales volume is one fair way to compare them, though. Here are agents who rank high on that in recent listings:

Top producers by recent sales (from Clever's ranking of 173 local agents):

• Seth Haak (Keller Williams Northern MT) is ranked #1 locally by total sales, with 101 recent sales. His experience includes VA loans and military buyers, first-time homebuyers, and sales involving HOAs. That's useful if you're connected to Malmstrom AFB.
• William Fuller (HomeSmart Realty Partners) had 51 local sales, with a typical price of $340,000.
• Melissa Dascoulias (Dascoulias Realty Group) had 47 local sales, a price range of $30K–$1.3M, and is listed as highly rated.

Other names that come up: Ramsey Solutions' list of recommended agents includes Charlie Weber (Black Diamond Realty) and Kevin Taggart. Taggart says he has extensive experience with residential, commercial, and investment real estate.

How to choose:

1. Talk to 2–3 agents and ask how many homes they've sold recently in your neighborhood and price range.
2. Read recent reviews on Zillow, Google, or Realtor.com.
3. Ask how they'll market your home or negotiate for you, and what their commission is.
4. If you're military, pick someone who has done a lot of VA loan deals.

Note that sites like these rankings and referral services often get paid by the agents, so treat them as a starting point rather than a final verdict.
