“Why I’m Switching to a 1% Listing Fee in 2026”

Hi, I’m Bernie Stephan — Real Estate Broker for Marin & Sonoma Counties.

Most sellers have been paying 5–6% in commissions for decades…without being told why that much..

Here’s the secret:
     Most brokers split their fee with their agents,
     AND sellers were expected to pay the buyer’s agent as well.
     It’s like funding a group project to get your property sold.

I’m different.
     I’m BOTH the agent and the broker.
         No split.
     No franchise fees.
     No large office to subsidize.

So starting in 2026?
     My listing fee is 1%, with a $7,500 minimum — full service.
     Everything you expect from a traditional Realtor…
          just without the traditional price tag.
     You don’t need to overpay for expertise;
         you just need the right broker.
