1% Listing Fee
Sell Your Sacramento Home for a 1% Listing Fee
Eric Macalma is a full-service Sacramento listing agent with 23+ years of local experience. List for a 1% fee ($5,000 minimum) and keep more of your equity — without giving up a single part of full-service representation.
List for less. Sell for more. Keep your equity.
The Math
1% vs. the traditional 2.5–3%
Most sellers think about commission. What matters is net proceeds — the money you walk away with. Here's the difference on a typical $600,000 Sacramento sale.

Estimates for illustration only. The listing fee is 1% of the final sale price with a $5,000 minimum; your final net proceeds also depend on the buyer-agent fee you choose, closing costs, and mortgage payoff.

Every offer reviewed in detail, multiple-offer strategy, and full negotiation on your behalf.

Pricing & Process
Questions sellers ask before listing
- How much does Eric charge to list my Sacramento home?
- 1% of the final sale price, with a $5,000 minimum. That covers full-service listing representation — pricing strategy, professional photography, MLS, marketing, showings, negotiation, and closing coordination. There are no separate marketing or technology fees.
- What does the 1% listing fee actually include?
- Everything a great listing agent does: comparative market analysis and pricing strategy, professional photography and video, MLS listing and syndication, marketing and showings, offer negotiation, contract management, and closing coordination. Nothing is stripped down to hit the lower price.
- Do I still need to offer a buyer's agent commission?
- That's your choice. Since the 2024 NAR settlement, sellers are not required to offer buyer-agent compensation. Eric will walk through current norms in your Sacramento neighborhood and the tradeoffs of offering 0%, 1%, 2%, or 2.5% so you can make an informed decision.
- How much can I save versus a traditional 2.5–3% listing fee?
- On a $600,000 Sacramento sale, a traditional 2.5% listing fee is $15,000. Eric's 1% listing fee is $6,000 — roughly $9,000 more equity to you at closing. The higher your sale price, the larger the savings.
- What if I'm selling and buying with Eric in the same move?
- The 1% listing fee on your sale and Eric's buyer-side representation are handled as separate engagements — and clients who do both with Eric typically save even more across the two transactions.
- Where does Eric list homes?
- Eric serves the greater Sacramento region — Sacramento, Elk Grove, Folsom, Roseville, Rancho Cordova, and Rocklin — with 23+ years of local market experience.
List for 1%. Keep more at closing.
Tell Eric about the home you're selling and he'll send a clear estimate of your net proceeds — after a 1% listing fee with a $5,000 minimum. No obligation.
