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

There isn't one "best" agent in Missoula. Who's right for you depends on whether you're buying or selling, your price range, the neighborhood, and the kind of property. Sales numbers can show you who's busiest, though.

High-volume local agents (from Clever's rankings, which are based on sales data):

• Jen Clement, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices: 67 local sales, $325K–$2.6M price range, typical price $590,000, top 1% locally, 20+ years of experience
• Dawn Maddux, Engel & Völkers Western Frontier: 68 local sales, $70K–$1.8M range, typical price $704,000, top 1% locally
• Brint P. Wahlberg, Windermere Real Estate Missoula: 52 local sales, $65K–$1.7M range, typical price $543,000, top 5% locally
• Danni Moore, PureWest Real Estate: 52 local sales, $240K–$2M range, typical price $589,500

Keep in mind that these ranking sites often earn money from referrals. Use them as a starting point, not as a final verdict.

How to choose:

1. Talk to 2–3 agents who regularly handle homes like yours in your price range and area.
2. Ask how much they sold their recent listings for compared to the asking price, and how long those homes took to sell.
3. Check reviews on Zillow and Google, and ask for references.
4. Look up their license with the Montana Board of Realty Regulation.
5. Pick someone whose communication style suits you, and compare their fees and contract terms.

If you tell me whether you're buying or selling, plus your budget and the area you're interested in, I can help narrow the list.
