Bedford is a town of hamlets: Bedford Village, Bedford Hills and Katonah, with Bedford Corners on the Mount Kisco side. Inventory stays tight, with 19 homes listed in Bedford as of November 11, 2026, so pricing strategy and local relationships matter.

Methodology

How we ranked Bedford's top agents

Ranked by 2025 sales volume and transaction sides. Each agent and team receives a score out of 100:¹

50% sales volume: Total dollar volume closed in 2025, scaled so the highest Bedford total equals 50 points.
50% transaction sides: Number of buyer and seller sides closed in 2025, scaled so the highest Bedford total equals 50 points.

Weighting the two equally rewards agents who close a high number of homes as well as those who handle Bedford's high-priced estates. The pool includes every individual agent and every team with a Bedford office in the verified 2025 city data, combined into one list. A transaction side is one side of a closed sale, so an agent who represents both buyer and seller earns two sides.

Ratings shown are each agent's public Zillow rating; team ratings combine the team's reviews. The Featured agent is shown first and also appears with her rank number. Before hiring, interview two or three agents, ask for recent Bedford comparable sales, and confirm licensing with the New York Department of State.
