How Full-Service Representation Works with Loqol
Loqol is a full-service brokerage, not a limited-service MLS company or a fixed-fee MLS entry service. When you list with us, you receive comprehensive support throughout the transaction. Our 2.5% seller-side commission includes a dedicated licensed agent who is reachable directly at any point in the transaction, professional signage installation, and marketing run by our in-house marketing team. We handle the entire California disclosure workflow, including the TDS, NHD, SPQ, AVID, and compliance checks, ensuring your transaction is executed professionally.
Our agents work on software we built ourselves, so every disclosure, deadline, and document in your sale is tracked rather than remembered — and you can see all of it, and reach your agent, in one click. In your seller dashboard, you have full visibility into the deal, with all documents and disclosures in one place, including a complete deal and document history.
Navigating the Diverse Contra Costa County Real Estate Market
Contra Costa is a two-county market in one set of borders. Highway 4 East (Pittsburg, Antioch, Brentwood, Oakley, Bay Point, Discovery Bay) clears in the $500K–$700K band. Mid-county (Concord, Pleasant Hill, Martinez, Walnut Creek) runs $725K–$1.05M. Lamorinda (Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga) and the 680 corridor (Walnut Creek upper, Alamo, Danville, Diablo, Blackhawk, San Ramon) run $1.75M–$3M+. The commission percentage doesn't care which side of Hwy 24 you're on — 6% of a Lamorinda $2.1M sale is $126,000.
Walnut Creek serves as a major pivot point. At a median price of $1.05 million, it is one of the largest mid-county markets in the East Bay. In high-value markets like Walnut Creek, Lafayette, and Danville, transaction execution and pricing accuracy are critical to maximizing your net proceeds. A dedicated agent helps you navigate complex negotiations, buyer vetting, and disclosure compliance to protect your equity.
