Top 5 Real Estate Questions Right Now (Answered by a 28-Year Santa Clarita Agent)

I've been licensed in California real estate since 1998. 28 years on the ground in the Santa Clarita Valley. I'm a Seller's Only Agent, which means I represent sellers exclusively, no dual agency, and I charge $17,000 all-in instead of a percentage of your home's sale price. These are the 5 real estate questions I'm getting asked the most as we close out April 2026. In this episode: 1. Is my agent's commission still negotiable or am I stuck with 6% 2. Do I really need a real estate agent at all, or can I just do FSBO 3. What's my home actually worth, and why is the Zillow number wrong 4. Should I sell now or wait for rates to come down 5. How do I pick an agent who isn't going to screw me The short version: yes everything is negotiable, no you don't have to use an agent but here's why most people should, Zillow's number is tax-record-based not condition-based, the rate question is usually the wrong question, and the agent you want is the one who listens more than they pitch. If you're in the Santa Clarita Valley and you're thinking about selling, I run a $17,000 all-in fixed fee listing service. No percentage. Same number whether you sell for $700K or $1.5M.
