How many real estate agents in South Dakota?
Count taken September 5, 2026Page built September 5, 2026
603 real estate agents in South Dakota had a published, current brokerage profile when we counted on September 5, 2026. That is 0.1% of the 493,081 agents counted across the United States, and ranks South Dakota 48th 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 South Dakota has issued, which is higher because many licensees are inactive or unaffiliated, and it is not REALTOR® association membership. The count covers 9 brands; see how the counting works for what is and is not included.

Largest real estate brokerages in South Dakota
The ten biggest real estate companies in South Dakota 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 | 259 | 43.0% | |
| 2 | RE/MAX | 93 | 15.4% | |
| 3 | Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices | 77 | 12.8% | |
| 4 | Real Broker | 38 | 6.3% | Real Brokerage |
| 5 | Coldwell Banker Black Hills Legacy Real Estate | 35 | 5.8% | Coldwell Banker |
| 6 | Coldwell Banker Empire Realty | 24 | 4.0% | Coldwell Banker |
| 7 | Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Beyond | 21 | 3.5% | Better Homes and Gardens |
| 8 | CENTURY 21 Northern Advantage Real Estate | 15 | 2.5% | Century 21 |
| 9 | CENTURY 21 ClearView Realty | 10 | 1.7% | Century 21 |
| 10 | CENTURY 21 Spearfish Realty | 10 | 1.7% | Century 21 |
By brand rather than company, Keller Williams has 259 (43%), RE/MAX has 93 (15%), Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices has 77 (13%), Coldwell Banker has 59 (10%) and Century 21 has 51 (8%). 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.

Websites, phone numbers and email
Among the 603 South Dakota agents whose profiles we check for a personal website, 7.0% have a site of their own rather than a page on the brokerage's site. The national figure is 7.2%. 90.2% of the 603 checked agents publish a direct phone number (national: 90.7%). Every counted agent has a published email address, which is the inclusion rule. In South Dakota, 57% of those addresses are on a franchise domain, 26% on the agent's or the office's own domain, and 17% 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 9 brokerage brands operating in South Dakota, led by Keller Williams, RE/MAX, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and Coldwell Banker. 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.
These figures are aggregated from the rows that usrealtorlist.com sells as its South Dakota real estate agent email list; every agent counted has a published, current email address, and none of them appear on this page.
