Reduced Fee Broker SLO

Looking for a reduced fee Broker in SLO (San Luis Obispo) County? Most Brokers charge 5% or even 6% total fee to sell your home. Our opinion is that a reduced 4% total fee is a fair percentage to be split between the buyers and sellers agent.

What is a reduced fee for a Broker in SLO?

The “going rate” for commission fees in SLO County is 5% on average. Most Brokers will negotiate 2.5% to the sellers agent, and 2.5% to the buyers agent. Some Brokers offer a variable split where 3% goes to the sellers agent, and 2% goes to the buyers. Some realtors even charge their clients 6% total commission on the sale of their property. Very few Brokers will agree to a 4% reduced fee in SLO County.

Why do SLO Brokers charge more than a 4% fee?

In real estate, everything is negotiable. This includes what your real estate broker will offer to charge you in exchange for their services. Some Realtors include more work or services in their offering (i.e photos, open houses, paid marketing, etc.) Some brokerages have minimum fees they require agents to list at. Many ask for more because they promise higher purchase prices, or a more premium service. Though every property is unique and some are “easier to sell”. We feel that a total 4% reduced fee for a broker in SLO County is more than fair.

FAQ on SLO Brokers:

What is a reduced fee agent split in SLO? – 4% is a reduced split. 5% total commission is a standard fee. That 5% is usually split 50/50 with half going to the buyers agent, and half going to the sellers agent.
Do I need to list with a REALTOR? – We would highly recommend it. Not only is there a great deal of risk and professional liability in a transaction, but a real estate professional is going to ensure you get your home sold for its max value, in a smooth and timely manner. Listing as for sale by owner can cost you lots of time, money, and stress. Your agent should have access to many resources you do not (MLS, title companies access, etc.)
What value can CCPP offer – CCPP offers expertise in real estate planning, permitting, and development. Our Sister Company, Cadwell and Co. is an expert in Real Estate Sales. We would be happy to connect you.

Tips for a Smooth Transaction

Understand Property Value – Have your agent assist with your property value analysis. A savvy agent will help you understand what your property could sell for based on sold comparables, current market conditions, and individual property characteristics.
Create a Plan – Before rushing to list your property, take some time to gameplan selling your home. Understanding what your goals, creating expectations, and preparing your property for sale help prepare you for a successful transaction.
Marathon, Not a Sprint – Real Estate is a special market because every property is unique, and the market fluctuates everyday. It is important to keep your long term goals in mind, and not make emotion driven decisions when buying or selling your property.

  I cannot say enough about this company. Marty and Ben have been utterly amazing walking me through the process of trying to put in an ADU in a very unusual situation. They've had to adapt and try multiple different angles, and they were ALWAYS there within 24 hours (sometimes within minutes!) to answer questions or concerns I was having.

I highly recommend Central Coast Project Planning for anything involving dealing with red tape, because these people are masters are figuring out how to get you through it. They've saved my sanity, and they made it look easy... and they always did it with a cheerful patience and determined grace. Every time I thought we were stymied, Marty and Ben came through.

Honestly, if you need help with your project, I can think of no better place to go than to this wonderful company. THANK YOU, GUYS!

  Hello, I am a professor in Construction Project Management and had the opportunity to enlist Marty's help for a project that had gone a little astray. I was extremely impressed as to how Marty quickly identified the issues and sorted out the problem to get this project back on track. I would include Marty in my team anytime. He was very efficient and knowledgable and has an easy going personality which certainly helps. Thank you Marty

  I am happy to say we were very impressed with how fast, Ben and Marty organized our paperwork and submitted it to SLO county.  They also kept in contact with them weekly and updated us on how the permits were coming along.  Great communication! There was a couple of small hold ups, which is normal with the county,  but Ben and Marty took care of the problems, and we received our building permits in a timely manner.  I am so glad we hired them, it could not have gone any better……Barbara Anderson, Grover Beach Ca.

  I would recommend Ben Campbell and Marty Mohamed. They stepped in and took over my project to move things forward in a few short months.
