Why we recommend Rick J. Lee for Long Beach
Long Beach is several housing markets inside one city. Redfin's three-month figures to September 2026 put the citywide median sale price at $909,567, but the east-side ZIP 90808 sold at a median $1,094,678 with just 1.4 months of supply, while downtown 90802 sat at $533,843 with 6.3 months. An agent who closes deals here every month knows which of those markets a given block belongs to.
Rick J. Lee leads the Rick J Lee Realty Group from an office on East Village Road in ZIP 90808. RealTrends, which verifies agent and team production from closed sales, ranked his team first among large teams in Long Beach by both volume and transaction sides for 2025, and ranked him first among individual Long Beach agents by sides. That verified local record is why he is our recommendation for this page. It is a recommendation, not a ranking of every agent in the city: interview more than one agent before you sign anything.
