This ranking evaluates Moreno Valley listing agents using publicly verifiable data: transaction volume inside Moreno Valley specifically over the trailing three years, years licensed, average sale price point, verified client reviews on MLS-syndicated portals (FastExpert, Zillow, Realtor.com), and demonstrated activity across Moreno Valley's seven ZIP codes (92551–92557). We weighted Moreno Valley-specific transaction count most heavily — with 170 active listings citywide, an agent's Moreno Valley-specific production tells you far more than their overall Riverside County volume. An agent with 150 career sales but only 2 Moreno Valley transactions is not a Moreno Valley specialist.
Moreno Valley presents a specific pricing reality: with a median listing price of $560,000, commission structures matter more proportionally than in higher-priced markets. A 6% commission on a $560,000 sale represents $33,600 in seller proceeds — nearly 8% of the down payment on a typical move-up purchase. We cross-referenced FastExpert's 2026 Moreno Valley rankings against active MLS listings and confirmed each agent maintains an active California brokerage affiliation. Agents with fewer than nine Moreno Valley transactions in the last 36 months were excluded. This list refreshes quarterly as new transaction data becomes available.
All agents listed maintain active presence on MLS-syndicated portals (Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, homes.com), which reflects active California real estate licensure. Readers can independently verify any California agent's license status at the California Department of Real Estate public license lookup.

Gabriela Hanson operates out of Nest Real Estate in Riverside with 22 years of experience and 54 Moreno Valley transactions in the last three years — by a wide margin the highest Moreno Valley-specific volume of any agent on this list. Her 81 total transactions in the trailing 12 months across Riverside County reflect a high-velocity practice with disciplined Moreno Valley focus. With 123 verified reviews and video marketing certification, Hanson provides bilingual Spanish-language representation that matters significantly for Moreno Valley's homeowner base — the city's demographic mix includes substantial multi-generational Mexican-American households where coordinated consultation across parents and adult children drives the selling decision. Her $535,000 average price point indicates a practice concentrated in Moreno Valley's core entry-level to mid-tier single-family segments.
Adrian and Maricruz Piecho operate as a husband-wife team at Beechwood Realty, with 24 years of combined experience and 34 Moreno Valley transactions in the last three years. As Moreno Valley-based agents, their practice is almost entirely concentrated inside the city's seven ZIP codes, giving them neighborhood-level fluency competitors anchored in Riverside or Corona cannot match. With 32 verified reviews and an 89-transaction trailing 12-month pace, the team structure allows for dual coverage on showings, coordinated open houses, and rapid offer response — operational discipline that matters in Moreno Valley's 46-day median-days-on-market environment. The Piechos provide bilingual Spanish-language representation and handle the mid-tier single-family segment between $500,000 and $700,000 where Moreno Valley has its deepest inventory.
Paul Fernandez has been a full-time REALTOR since 2012, specializing in seller representation across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. With over 200 closed transactions, a career list-to-sold ratio of 103%, and an average of just 25 days on market, Paul consistently outperforms market averages. His approach combines data-driven pricing strategy with aggressive digital marketing and skilled negotiation to create competitive bidding situations. Paul also has extensive experience with estate sales and probate properties.
Josh Moreno at Nest Real Estate in Riverside brings 26 years of experience to the Moreno Valley market with 31 Moreno Valley transactions in the last three years. His 19 active listings — one of the highest active inventories among agents serving Moreno Valley — and 124 total transactions in the trailing 12 months indicate a production-weighted practice built around throughput. With 102 verified reviews, Moreno's practice tends to serve sellers of clean, vacant, listing-ready Moreno Valley properties who want aggressive pricing and fast marketing cycles rather than luxury-tier hand-holding. His $598,000 average price point places his practice in Moreno Valley's mid-market segment, though his cross-market reach into Riverside gives him pricing insight competitors anchored in only one city often lack.
Chris Leeper operates out of Coldwell Banker Town & Country as a Moreno Valley-based agent with 16 years of experience and 28 Moreno Valley transactions in the last three years at a $490,000 average — the entry-level end of the Moreno Valley price spectrum. His 123 verified reviews and 127 total transactions in the trailing 12 months reflect a high-volume practice concentrated in the 92551, 92553, and 92555 ZIP codes where Moreno Valley's most affordable single-family inventory trades. Coldwell Banker's institutional infrastructure gives Leeper's listings professional photography and syndicated marketing — operational reliability that matters for first-time sellers who can't afford mistakes at the entry-level price segment where commission structures consume a meaningful proportion of net proceeds.
Adam Schwarz at EXP Realty in Riverside has 11 years of experience and closed 19 Moreno Valley transactions in the last three years at a $685,000 average price point — above the Moreno Valley median, indicating his practice concentrates in the mid-tier and larger-lot segments. With 69 verified reviews and 108 total transactions in the trailing 12 months, Schwarz operates at high throughput with 8 active Moreno Valley-area listings. eXp Realty's cloud-based infrastructure gives him access to a national referral network, which matters for Moreno Valley sellers whose target buyers increasingly come from outside California — retirees from the Pacific Northwest and families relocating from higher-cost metros view Moreno Valley as a relative value play in the broader Inland Empire.
Justin Tye operates a high-volume listing operation at Active Realty in Newport Beach, with 25 years of experience, 1,188 verified reviews, and 28 active Moreno Valley-area listings — among the largest active inventories on this list. His 12 Moreno Valley transactions over the last three years at a $549,000 average reflect his core book: investor-owned single-family rentals, small multi-unit conversions, and trustee-executed sales. Tye's practice is built around throughput rather than hand-holding — Moreno Valley sellers with clean, vacant, listing-ready properties who want aggressive pricing and fast marketing cycles are his typical client profile. For sellers whose Moreno Valley property is currently tenant-occupied and who need help navigating California's tenant-protection statutes before listing, Tye's team has processed that workflow hundreds of times.
Nicholas Anselmo operates out of Abundance Real Estate in Temecula with 7 years of experience and 10 Moreno Valley transactions in the last three years at a $1.4 million average price point — the highest on this list, reflecting a practice concentrated in Moreno Valley's luxury and larger-lot segments. With 64 verified reviews, video marketing certification, and 30 active listings across the Riverside County region, Anselmo's practice operates at production volume while maintaining a luxury-tier focus. For Moreno Valley sellers with larger equestrian-zoned properties in the 92555 corridor or custom-built homes above $900,000, Anselmo's cross-market experience between Temecula's luxury tier and Moreno Valley's mid-market gives him pricing insight most single-city specialists cannot match.
Martha R Morua at Re/Max One is a Moreno Valley-based agent with 27 years of experience — the longest tenure on this list — and 10 Moreno Valley transactions in the last three years at a $386,000 average price point. Her practice is concentrated in Moreno Valley's most affordable segments — entry-level single-family in the 92551 and 92553 ZIP codes and the occasional mobile-home or condominium transaction. Morua's 39 total transactions in the trailing 12 months reflect a steady, selective pace rather than high-volume churn. Her 27-year tenure means she has sold many Moreno Valley properties two and three times across decades of ownership, which matters for long-held homes where pricing memory exceeds what comparable sales data can provide. Bilingual Spanish-language representation is standard.
Ryan McKee at Elevate Real Estate in Rancho Cucamonga has 18 years of experience and closed 9 Moreno Valley transactions in the last three years at a $619,000 average price point. His 123 total transactions in the trailing 12 months reflect a high-throughput practice spanning the San Bernardino County to Moreno Valley corridor, which means his buyer pipeline regularly includes Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana buyers seeking Moreno Valley's relative affordability. With 75 verified reviews and a disciplined pricing approach, McKee's practice tends to attract sellers of mid-tier Moreno Valley single-family homes between $550,000 and $700,000 whose target buyers come from adjacent SBD County markets where similar homes trade $100,000–$200,000 higher.
