Jon Schwartz

The smartest way to buy a home in California.

Don't overpay your agent. I charge a 1% commission, not the usual 2.5%, and that difference goes straight back to you.

WHY I DO THIS

The agent I wish I'd had.

I bought and sold three homes before I became a Realtor, and I became a Realtor because I was sick of working with Realtors.

Now I'm the Realtor I wish I'd had as a homebuyer: experienced, competent, instructive, and I'll actually save you money on your home purchase.

DO THE MATH

How much will you save?

Drag to your price range. This is the difference between my 1% and a standard 2.5% agent.

How it works

1

You do the fun part

Use Zillow, Redfin, and open houses to find homes you love. Need a private showing? A local agent opens the door for a flat $50.

2

I do the agent work

I prepare a winning offer, negotiate with the listing agent, handle counters, and guide you through escrow to closing.

3

You save 1.5%

You pay a 1% commission instead of the usual 2.5%, so thousands stay with you or strengthen your offer.

Frequently asked questions

Not really. Your agent takes their fee out of the money you offer. A 2.5% commission on a $1,000,000 offer is $25,000, so the seller actually nets $975,000. With my 1%, that same offer nets them $990,000, which makes you the stronger bidder.

Never. My clients sign a non-exclusive agreement, so you can still buy through another agent or directly from a seller. You only owe me a commission when I actually do the work on a home for you.

When you want a private showing, I arrange a local agent and the flat $50 goes straight to them for their time. Open houses are always free, and most clients only need a showing or two.

Very. You get my cell number and personal email, so call or text whenever. Once we are in escrow we will be in touch daily until you close.

Stop overpaying your agent.

Book a quick call. No pressure, no exclusive contract, no catch.
