Their listings sold in a median of 30 days, 5 days faster than the area's typical 35 days, converting 71.4% of their listings into a successful sale, 13.5 percentage points ahead of the area's 57.9%.

The average commission rate is 1.72% (around $12,000 on a median-priced home). Rates can vary across the area because campaign lengths and the scale of marketing differ between bayside suburbs and outer growth corridors, and rates often increase to reflect longer campaign periods and broader marketing reach. When selecting an agent, look beyond the commission rate. Compare their specific track record in your local area, their recent sales volume, and their experience with properties similar to yours.
