1 Percent Listing Agent - Sell Your Murrieta Home for 1%

At the Murrieta median sale price of roughly $655,000, a 1% listing fee is about $6,550. A traditional 2.5% listing-side commission is about $16,375, and 3% is about $19,650 - so you keep roughly $9,825 to $13,100. On a La Cresta estate near $2 million, the gap between 1% and 3% reaches $40,000. All commissions are negotiable and are not set by law.

Approximately $656,565 in Murrieta over the three months ending August 2026, down about 2.0% year over year, with a median 47 days on market and a 99.7% sale-to-list ratio across roughly 343 sales. About 41% of homes sold above asking. Prices are essentially flat; well-priced homes still sell quickly, while overpriced ones are taking longer.

Many newer Murrieta communities sit in Community Facilities Districts whose special taxes appear on the property tax bill, on top of HOA dues. Lenders count both in the buyer's monthly payment, so they affect what buyers can offer. Disclosing the current amount and whether it ends when the district's bonds are paid off, and pricing with it in mind, keeps it from becoming a surprise in escrow.

With Justin, yes. The 1% listing fee includes professional photography, drone and video media, an interactive floor plan, MLS listing with syndication to the major portals, a yard sign and lockbox, open houses and private showings, offer negotiation, inspection and appraisal negotiation, disclosure preparation and escrow management through closing.

Close in the big tracts, unreliable at the edges. Automated models do reasonably well on similar homes in large communities, but they miss the CFD and HOA differences between communities, views, upgrades, solar and - in areas like Los Alamos Hills and La Cresta - usable acreage and rural systems. Those differences can move value by tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Yes. Justin Santolaya is licensed by the California Department of Real Estate, and that license covers the whole state. Murrieta listings go into the MLS and syndicate to the major portals like any other. What matters is knowing the local details - CFDs, HOAs, new-construction competition and the Riverside County transfer tax - and reaching buyers in both Riverside and San Diego counties.

No, because the two are separate decisions. The 1% is Justin's listing-side fee. What you offer a buyer's agent, if anything, is decided independently when your home goes on the market and gets set at whatever keeps you competitive in Murrieta.

Yes. Justin offers an easy cancellation policy at any point before you enter escrow if you are not satisfied with the service.

Neither. There is no stated minimum sale price, no minimum fee and no cap. The listing fee is 1% of the sale price whether the property is a Murrieta townhome or a La Cresta estate.

Beyond commission: escrow and title fees, the Riverside County documentary transfer tax, a natural hazard disclosure report, HOA document fees where applicable, prorated property taxes, a termite or pest report if required, negotiated repair credits, and your mortgage payoff. In CFD communities, the prorated Mello-Roos special tax also appears on the settlement statement. Justin provides a written net sheet at several price points before you list.

Yes. Justin Santolaya is bilingual and handles the entire transaction in English or Spanish - showings, disclosures, negotiation and escrow. Se habla español.

Yes. Justin offers a buyer rebate of up to 1% of the purchase price, applied toward closing costs or your down payment. See the buyer rebate program at 1percentsd.com/buyer-rebate-program/.
