Top Real Estate Agents Serving Springfield, Ohio: October 2026
By Doug Haney, Realtor® and Team Lead, The Haney Group at Coldwell Banker Heritage · Updated October 14, 2026 · First published March 2, 2026
Disclosure: This guide is published by The Haney Group, and Doug Haney is one of the agents listed. Nobody paid to be included. The other agents are here because their public track record in the Springfield market earns it. Facts were checked against public sources in October 2026.
The short answer: The best agent for you depends on what you're doing. Springfield has high-volume teams, long-tenured brokers, and teams built for investors and first-time buyers. Compare at least two agents on recent local sales, verified reviews, and who will actually answer your calls. Then ask the questions further down this page before you sign anything.
How We Picked
Every agent on this list meets all four of these:
Active in the Springfield / Clark County market in the last 12 months. That means current listings or closed sales on the MLS.
Verified public reviews on Google, Zillow, RateMyAgent, or Experience.com. Ratings we couldn't check aren't shown.
Public production data where it exists, such as RealTrends' 2025 rankings, which are built from closed sales.
A clear specialty. Each agent is labeled with what they're best for, rather than a single 1-to-4 rank. A seller with a $500,000 farm and a first-time FHA buyer need different people.
We review this page monthly. The date at the top tells you when it was last checked.

What Sellers Should Compare
Sale-to-list ratio: how close their listings sell to asking price.
Days on market for homes like yours, in your part of Clark County.
The marketing plan, in writing: photos, video, and where it's advertised.
Experience with your property type: city lot, rural acreage, or rental.
What Buyers Should Compare
Financing know-how, especially FHA, VA, and down-payment assistance.
Negotiation record in a market where good homes draw multiple offers.
Responsiveness, including evenings and weekends, when most showings happen.
Investor experience, if you're buying a rental.
Questions to Ask Before You Sign
How many clients are you working with right now? Tells you how much time you'll actually get.
Will I work with you, or be handed to someone else? Teams vary, so know who answers your calls.
What was your sale-to-list ratio last year? The clearest single measure of pricing and negotiation.
Which neighborhoods have you sold in this year? Springfield and rural Clark County behave differently.
Which inspectors, lenders, and contractors do you trust? A good agent's vendor list saves weeks.
If my home doesn't sell in 30 days, what changes? You want a plan, not a shrug.
Often-Overlooked Factors
Dual agency. Ask how the agent handles representing both sides, and whether you're comfortable with it.
Neighborhood-level knowledge. Pricing a street on Springfield's south side and pricing a few acres near New Carlisle are different jobs.
After closing. The best agents are still useful for your property tax appeal, your next refinance, or your first rental.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose a real estate agent in Springfield, Ohio?
Interview at least two. Compare their recent local sales, their verified reviews, and who will handle your file day to day. Then use the questions above.
