Its location on the Peninsula - minutes from San Francisco International Airport and a short Caltrain ride from San Francisco - keeps demand steady from both relocating buyers and longtime Peninsula families. The directory below features 20 top-performing agents currently working Burlingame, each with verified Zillow reviews and a consistent record of closed sales. Every profile links straight back to its original review source, so you can read the unedited feedback yourself.

How We Built This List

⭐

Real Client Reviews

Agents qualify on the volume and rating of authentic, Zillow-verified client reviews - real buyers and sellers describing their own experience.

📍

Years of Local Market Specialization

We looked at how long each agent has actively specialized in the Burlingame market specifically, over broader Bay Area experience.

Every agent below cleared the same bar for the Burlingame market. This directory is refreshed periodically to reflect new sales activity and new reviews.

Hiring a Realtor in Burlingame, California: FAQs

Who are the top realtors in Burlingame, California right now?

There's no single best agent for everyone - the right fit depends on what you're looking for, whether that's sales volume, review rating and count, experience at your price point, or a specific neighborhood. Names that come up frequently in Burlingame include Jenn Gilson, Casey Sternsmith and David Tapper, along with the other agents featured on this page. Each card links to that agent's original reviews so you can compare them yourself.

How much does it cost to hire a realtor in Burlingame, CA?

Most Burlingame agents work on a commission basis, typically negotiated between 2% and 3% per side of the transaction. Since 2024's industry-wide changes to buyer-agent compensation rules, buyers now negotiate their agent's fee directly rather than assuming it's covered automatically - worth clarifying with any agent before signing a buyer's agreement.

What's the difference between a buyer's agent and a listing agent?

A listing agent represents the seller - pricing the home, marketing it, and negotiating the best possible sale price. A buyer's agent represents the purchaser, helping them find the right property and negotiate favorable terms.

How do I verify a realtor's reviews before hiring them in Burlingame?

Every agent featured on this page links directly to their original Zillow profile, where you can read unedited client reviews straight from the source rather than a testimonial the agent selected themselves.
