How many real estate agents in Kentucky?
Count taken September 5, 2026Page built September 5, 2026
2,994 real estate agents in Kentucky had a published, current brokerage profile when we counted on September 5, 2026. That is 0.6% of the 493,081 agents counted across the United States, and ranks Kentucky 30th of 51 states and DC.
"Agent" on this page means a person with a live profile on a brokerage's website at the time of the count. It is not the number of licences Kentucky has issued, which is higher because many licensees are inactive or unaffiliated, and it is not REALTOR® association membership. The count covers 11 brands; see how the counting works for what is and is not included.
Change over time
This is the first published count for Kentucky (September 2026). When the next count is taken, the change will appear here with both dates.
Largest real estate brokerages in Kentucky
The ten biggest real estate companies in Kentucky by number of agents with a published profile. A company that publishes no office names (Keller Williams, RE/MAX, Compass and others) appears as one row.
| Brokerage | Agents | Share of attributed agents | Brand | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Keller Williams | 950 | 31.7% | |
| 2 | RE/MAX | 646 | 21.6% | |
| 3 | CENTURY 21 Advantage Realty | 206 | 6.9% | Century 21 |
| 4 | Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices | 167 | 5.6% | |
| 5 | Coldwell Banker McMahan | 163 | 5.4% | Coldwell Banker |
| 6 | Coldwell Banker Legacy Group | 154 | 5.1% | Coldwell Banker |
| 7 | Schuler Bauer Real Estate ERA Powered | 131 | 4.4% | ERA |
| 8 | Real Broker | 95 | 3.2% | Real Brokerage |
| 9 | Coldwell Banker Realty | 93 | 3.1% | Coldwell Banker |
| 10 | ERA Select Real Estate | 63 | 2.1% | ERA |
By brand rather than company, Keller Williams has 950 (32%), RE/MAX has 646 (22%), Coldwell Banker has 482 (16%), Century 21 has 377 (13%) and ERA has 221 (7%). A brand's figure adds up every company operating under that name, so a franchise like Coldwell Banker or Century 21 is spread over many rows in the table above but appears once here.
Which Kentucky cities have the most real estate agents?

| 9 | Murray | 62 | 2.1% |

18 Kentucky agents (0.6%) have a profile that names no city and are counted only in the state total.
Websites, phone numbers and email
Among the 2,993 Kentucky agents whose profiles we check for a personal website, 3.5% have a site of their own rather than a page on the brokerage's site. The national figure is 7.2%. 88.6% of the 2,994 checked agents publish a direct phone number (national: 90.7%). Every counted agent has a published email address, which is the inclusion rule. In Kentucky, 49% of those addresses are on a franchise domain, 23% on the agent's or the office's own domain, and 28% on free webmail such as Gmail or Yahoo. No address appears on this site.
Where the data comes from
The count is built from the public agent directories of 11 brokerage brands operating in Kentucky, led by Keller Williams, RE/MAX, Coldwell Banker and Century 21. Brands that publish no directory, and independent brokerages outside those networks, are not counted, so the true number of working agents is higher than the figure on this page; the ranking of brokerages and cities is among the networks we can see.
Every agent counted here has a published email address; that is the inclusion rule. The contact file itself, one row per agent, is sold as the Kentucky realtor email list at usrealtorlist.com, which is where these counts are drawn from.
