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

At the Poway median sale price of roughly $1,230,000, a 1% listing fee is about $12,300. A traditional 2.5% listing-side commission is about $30,750, and 3% is about $36,900 - so you keep roughly $18,450 to $24,600. On an Old Coach estate near $3.5 million, the gap between 1% and 3% reaches $70,000. All commissions are negotiable and are not set by law.

Approximately $1,229,187 in Poway over the three months ending August 2026, down about 2.6% year over year, with a median 25 days on market and a 99.4% sale-to-list ratio across roughly 110 sales. Sales volume rose about 17% and homes are selling faster than a year ago, so the market is steady - buyers are active but price-sensitive at the upper end.

It affects the sale more through insurance than through price alone. The city reports that over 90% of Poway lies in a Fire Hazard Severity Zone, so buyers expect it; what they need is certainty that they can insure the home and at roughly what cost. Sellers in these zones provide additional fire-hazard disclosures under state law. Documenting defensible space and any home-hardening work, and having insurance information ready, removes the uncertainty that otherwise shows up as a lower offer.

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.

Poor, especially outside central Poway. Automated models price from square footage and nearby sales, but much of Poway's value sits in the land - usable acreage, horse facilities, views, privacy and septic versus sewer - none of which the algorithm can assess. Two homes of similar size on different lots can differ by several hundred thousand dollars.

Plan for both before listing. A septic inspection and pumping record answer the first question every buyer and lender will ask, and problems found early cost less to resolve than problems found in escrow. For horse properties, document the usable land, the improvements - barns, arenas, corrals - and trail access, and confirm horse-keeping is allowed under the property's zoning. Equestrian buyers pay for those features only when the listing proves them.

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 Poway.

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 central Poway townhome or an Old Coach estate.

Beyond commission: escrow and title fees, the San Diego 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. On rural lots, a septic inspection is worth adding; in fire zones, any required defensible-space work. Justin provides a written net sheet at several price points before you list.
