    100% Commission for San Mateo County Agents

    San Mateo County sits at the heart of the Peninsula, connecting San Francisco to Silicon Valley's tech corridor. From the walkable downtowns of Redwood City and San Mateo to Burlingame's elegant tree-lined streets and Half Moon Bay's coastal estates, the county commands some of California's highest median sale prices. Keeping 100% of your commission here means thousands more per transaction.

    Our agents operate under a 100% commission real estate brokerage in California, with full support throughout the Peninsula.

    Costs beyond your plan

    Every transaction must use a professional transaction coordinator (TC). Choose your own TC and pay them directly, or use Merge's preferred TC at $495 per file. TC costs are separate from brokerage fees on both plans.

    New licensees who have never completed a transaction pay an additional $600 per transaction on their first 3 transactions.

    No commission splits on standard transactions. A 5% split applies only to commission earned above $4M on sales over $4M.

    Merge maintains an E&O policy, and your cost is included in your monthly membership. If a claim arises from your transaction, you're responsible for $5,000. Coverage is subject to policy terms. Talk to our broker for details.

    Premier's $0 per closing refers only to Merge's brokerage fee. Agents pay their own association, board, and MLS dues.
