How we read the numbers

Each score comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google average. Review volume is how many people have rated the business, compared with other agents we looked at in Las Cruces. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, and recency shows how recently reviews are still posted. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What agents charge in Las Cruces

We found no commission figures on the sites or in the reviews, so we leave out a price table. Ask each agent for commission terms in writing before you sign, and compare what is included, such as photography, open houses and marketing. One Patino reviewer mentioned a photographer, and an Escamilla client described open houses and a polished listing.

Offices around Las Cruces

The offices are on Roadrunner Pkwy, N Water St, Sienna Ave, S Telshor Blvd and Foothills Rd. One reviewer house-hunted from out of town on a short trip, and another completed a purchase remotely. Searching for a real estate agent near me? Each card lists a phone number or website and a map link.

Questions to ask an agent

  • How many homes like mine have you sold in Las Cruces recently?
