How Much Is the Right Realtor Worth?

In 2025 Alone, I Have Negotiated Over $175,000 for My Clients

As a real estate agent, my top priority is simple: protecting my clients’ pocket book and getting them the best deal possible. Whether you’re buying your first home or selling a longtime property, having a strategic, experienced negotiator on your side can make a massive difference — and 2025 has been proof of that.

This year, I had the privilege of representing amazing clients, both buyers and sellers, across Sonoma County, and together we have closed some fantastic deals. Here’s a quick snapshot of how the numbers added up:

Total negotiated value in 2025: $175,147

That’s $175,147 in savings and added value I secured on behalf of my buyers and sellers — through careful pricing strategy, savvy negotiations, and hands-on marketing that helped my listings stand out.

Here’s how it broke down:

• Sellers: using multiple counter-offers (which many agents are too lazy to use) I negotiated above-asking sales, with one seller walking away with $41,000 over list price

• Buyers: I helped multiple buyers secure significant price reductions, with one saving $29,000 off, between purchase price and further credits negotiated during the investigation period

• Every one of my buyers have gotten in under asking price, seller credits, or both!

These numbers aren’t just stats — they represent real families achieving big goals: buying their first home, upsizing to make room for little ones that are on the way, or selling a home that no longer fit their lifestyle.
