Modern Commission
​We list homes for a straightforward 1 percent fee that aligns with San Diego’s high-value market and still allows us to deliver high-level representation without compromise. We provide our buyers with a structured credit of up to 1 percent of your homes purchase price that comes directly from our seller-paid commission and can be applied toward closing costs.
Transparent Terms
​We make transparency a priority and explain all fees and required documents before anything is signed. Clients stay informed throughout negotiations and always know what is happening and why. Our agreements are clear, straightforward, and free of restrictive terms. We keep the paperwork simple and client-friendly so you always understand the decisions in front of you.​​​
​Whether you are just beginning to explore your options or ready to move ahead, you can reach out at any time. There is never any pressure, and we are always glad to begin with an easy first conversation. We respect your timing and are available whenever you feel ready to move forward.
Thinking of Selling?
Full-Service Listings for a 1 Percent Fee
Our listings combine high-level representation with a modern structure that respects client equity. You receive the same strategic guidance, preparation, marketing, and negotiation expected in San Diego’s top markets — at a fee intentionally aligned with today’s price points.
​
What You Can Expect:
• Full-service listing preparation
• Professional photography and marketing
• Pricing strategy and offer management
• Access to trusted painters, licensed contractors, landscapers, and other home-preparation specialists
• Dedicated negotiation and closing support
Strategic Buyer Representation with a Real Financial Advantage
We provide full-service buyer representation with clear guidance through each stage of the process. As part of our structure, we share a portion of our seller-paid commission with the buyer through a structured credit of up to 1 percent of the purchase price. In San Diego’s price range, this often results in tens of thousands of dollars applied toward closing costs, creating a meaningful financial advantage that most traditional models do not offer.
Buyers stay fully supported throughout the search with clear communication at every step. We evaluate properties with you, identify risks and advantages, and help structure offers that stand out in competitive situations. We also review financing options in detail and explain how each choice affects the strength of your offer from a seller’s perspective.
​
We work closely with our buyers, and when the right home appears, we move quickly, craft a competitive offer, and collaborate with the listing agent to bring the deal together.

Client Stories
Mike was a huge help! We sold our home for more than list price as we had multiple offers. They contacted us nearly every day to keep us updated on the transaction and carefully explained all documents to us. I highly recommend their services. ~ Drew Evans
Nicki helped us purchase a property near Cowles Mountain and assisted us in scheduling inspections. We found some issues so they helped us keep digging with further inspections and we finally determined the cause. They were then able to negotiate with the listing agent to obtain a credit that went towards the repairs.
~ Kara E.
Working with Walter was an outstanding experience! He and his team answered all our questions, explained every document to us and kept us fully informed at all times. I highly recommend! They were constantly in-touch with us regarding the status of the transaction. ~ Donna B.
