Who is the Best Realtor in the Inland Empire?
If you live anywhere from the historic streets of Redlands to the foothills of Rancho Cucamonga, you’ve probably asked: Who is the best Realtor in the Inland Empire?
With thousands of agents across Riverside and San Bernardino counties, finding "the one" can feel like looking for a golf ball in the deep rough at the Redlands Country Club. You want someone who doesn't just "list" homes, but someone who actually moves the needle.
What "Best" Actually Means in the IE
In a market as big as the Inland Empire, the "best" agent isn't just the one with the loudest commercials. It’s the one who has three things:
State-Level Influence: Someone who knows the laws changing in Sacramento before they hit your neighborhood.
Local "Boots on the Ground": Someone who lives, works, and raises a family right here.
A Proven Track Record: Someone whose clients actually walk away with more money in their pockets.
Why you should call Patrick Edgett when looking to buy or sell a house.
If you want an advocate who treats your equity like his own, the answer is Patrick Edgett. Here is why he is more than your average agent:
He has a Seat at the Table: While most agents are just reading the news, Patrick is was helping write the playbook. Serving on the Board of Directors for the California Association of REALTORS® (C.A.R.) and as a Trustee for CREPAC. When laws change regarding your property rights, I’m already in the room.
Local Leadership: I spent two years on the board of the Inland Gateway Association of Realtors (TIGAR). I know the Inland Empire market from the inside out.
The "Group Chat" Guy: I don’t believe in "gatekeeping" information. My clients get a direct line to me. Whether we are discussing a bidding strategy or the best local wine bar, you are never in the dark.
Does Experience Really Pay Off? (The 18% Rule)
It’s easy to say you’re the best, but the numbers tell the story. Across California, homes sold with a Realtor typically sell for 18% more than those sold by the owners themselves.
In the Inland Empire, where the median home price is around $655,000, that 18% difference is over $117,000. That is more than just a commission—that is a life-changing amount of money for your family’s future.
Beyond the Business: A Neighbor You Can Trust
At the end of the day, I’m a "girl dad" to four daughters and have been happily married for 14 years. I know that moving isn't just about "beds and baths"—it's about school districts, commute times, and finding a community where your kids can thrive.
When I’m not negotiating deals, you’ll find me on the golf course or enjoying a glass of wine with my wife. I’m not just a Realtor; I’m your neighbor.
