Dublin's median sale price is $1,320,000 as of July 2026, down 6.71% year over year. A traditional 6% commission on that sale is $79,200 and a 5.5% commission is $72,600. Depending on the source, Dublin's early 2026 pricing varies: Redfin's trailing-month data shows a median of $1.3M, Zillow's April 2026 list-price median is $1.45M, and other reports show a $1,555,000 median list price at $720 per square foot. When you list with Loqol, the seller-side commission is 2.5%, which on a median-priced home represents $33,000.
Dublin still sells fast — 43 days on market, 0.98 months of supply, 100.43% of list price, 133 homes sold in July 2026 — but the price a seller can expect has fallen while the percentage fee has not. That is the whole argument for looking hard at what you are paying a listing agent here. Below are the agents who actually transact in Dublin, how to vet them, and what each fee structure costs against the current median.
What makes Dublin unusual for this price band is the school district. Dublin Unified School District is ranked #41 out of 1,907 California districts — top 5% — with math proficiency at 75% (vs 34% state average) and reading at 80% (vs 47% state average). That rating is the single biggest driver of the price-per-square-foot Dublin buyers pay, and it's why listing strategy here is different from San Ramon or Pleasanton even though all three sit along the 580/680 interchange.
The commission math on a $1,320,000 Dublin sale: a traditional 2.5% listing fee is $33,000. Add a 2.5% buyer co-op negotiated in the offer and you are at $66,000 in total agent fees. With Loqol's 2.5% seller-side commission, you secure a dedicated licensed agent and full-service marketing, ensuring your transaction is handled with professional care while optimizing your net proceeds.
This guide covers the real, rankable Dublin agents who dominate the market in 2026, how to vet them, and how Loqol's full-service model combines dedicated local agents with advanced transaction technology to deliver superior results.

Top Real Estate Agents in Dublin, CA (2026)
Dublin has 751 licensed agents operating in the city and 202 top-agent profiles tracked across ranking platforms. The names below appear consistently across U.S. News Real Estate, HomeLight, FastExpert, RealtyHop, Yelp, and Diamond Certified rankings for 2026.
1. Jon & Leslie Foster Real Estate Group — eXp Realty of California
Husband-and-wife team cited across multiple Dublin ranking platforms. eXp's model means lower brokerage overhead, which sometimes translates to commission flexibility. Strong Tri-Valley presence, familiar with Dublin's newer developments (Positano, Jordan Ranch, Schaefer Ranch).
2. Bobby & Nikki Nijjar Real Estate
Local Dublin team consistently in top-rated lists. Strong client review presence on Yelp and FastExpert. Good fit for sellers in the central and west Dublin submarkets, particularly established single-family neighborhoods.
3. The Kim Deol Team
Multi-agent team serving Dublin and greater Tri-Valley. Active listing presence, marketing-forward approach, large buyer-side network that can generate off-market interest.
4. Stephany M Jenkins — Park46 Real Estate
Boutique brokerage representation. Typically higher-touch service, often negotiable on commission for well-qualified listings. Strong fit for resale of newer-construction homes that need marketing rather than heavy project management.
5. The Mia & Beverly Team
Appears in multiple Dublin top-10 lists on Yelp and other local platforms. Dual-partner model gives sellers two points of contact through the transaction — useful for busy families and dual-career households.
6. Kim DiMaggio, Bonnie King, Heidi Belle, Jackie George, Amanda Regoli — Compass
The Compass contingent in Dublin. All five are active local agents with strong sales records. Compass-branded marketing, institutional-grade listing presentation, large cross-office referral network. Good fit for Dublin sellers who want recognized brokerage brand visibility.
All of the agents above charge some variation of traditional percentage commission. In 2026, post-NAR settlement, more will quietly accept 2% or 1.5% on the listing side if you ask — but the default starting point in almost every Dublin listing interview is still 2.5%.

The $79,200 Question: What Dublin Sellers Actually Pay in Commission
| Home sale price | Listing side at Loqol's 2.5% | Total at a traditional 5% | Total at a traditional 6% |
|---|---|---|---|
| $702,000 | $17,550 | $35,100 | $42,120 |
| $1,320,000 | $33,000 | $66,000 | $79,200 |
| $1,530,000 | $38,250 | $76,500 | $91,800 |
| $1,800,000 | $45,000 | $90,000 | $108,000 |
| $2,100,000 | $52,500 | $105,000 | $126,000 |
Run the same numbers on a total 5% commission and the spread widens. At the $1,320,000 Dublin median, a traditional full-commission deal costs roughly $66,000 in total agent fees. When listing with Loqol, the 2.5% seller-side commission ensures you receive full-service representation, professional marketing, and dedicated support while keeping more of your hard-earned equity at the closing table.
How Dublin Sellers Should Actually Vet an Agent
Dublin has a specific pattern of listing pitch that repeats in almost every interview. Here's how to cut through it.
1. Ask for Dublin-specific recent closings, not Tri-Valley totals. Pleasanton and San Ramon sell differently than Dublin. If an agent's last 10 closings are 7 Pleasanton, 2 San Ramon, 1 Dublin, they are not your Dublin specialist.
2. Ask what they know about Dublin Unified school boundaries. Serious Dublin listing agents can name the specific elementary catchment for each neighborhood and explain why it matters. If you get a generic "great schools" answer, keep interviewing.
3. Ask their specific strategy for newer-construction resale. Dublin has a lot of 2010–2022 inventory (Positano, Dublin Ranch, Jordan Ranch, Schaefer Ranch). Marketing a 2018 build is a different problem than marketing a 1970s Amador Valley ranch. Make them articulate the difference.
4. Ask about their commission rate. Negotiate it. The default answer is 2.5%. The real range in Dublin in 2026, for a well-presented home in a hot neighborhood, is closer to 1.5%–2.5%. Asking costs you nothing.
5. Ask about buyer-agent compensation strategy. Post-NAR settlement (August 2024), this is negotiated separately, and strategy matters. In Dublin specifically — where a large share of buyers are first-time, dual-income tech families — how you handle buyer-side comp can affect showing velocity.

FAQ
Q: Who is the best real estate agent in Dublin, CA?
There is no single "best" — it depends on price point, neighborhood, and home vintage. Jon & Leslie Foster (eXp Realty), Bobby & Nikki Nijjar, and the Compass Dublin roster (Bonnie King, Heidi Belle, Kim DiMaggio) all appear consistently in 2026 top-agent lists. For sellers who care about net proceeds and transaction execution, Loqol offers a full-service 2.5% seller-side commission, providing dedicated agent representation and advanced tracking technology to optimize your sale.
Q: What commission do Dublin real estate agents charge?
The default listing-side commission in Dublin in 2026 is 2.5%, with another 2.5% commonly requested for the buyer's agent. Both are negotiable — and since the NAR settlement took effect in August 2024 the buyer's side is negotiated in the buyer's offer, not pre-set by the seller. Loqol offers a 2.5% seller-side commission when you onboard through our platform, providing a dedicated licensed agent and comprehensive marketing.
Q: How much does it cost to sell a house in Dublin?
At a $1,320,000 sale with a traditional 5% total commission, expect roughly $66,000 in agent fees, plus title, escrow, county transfer tax, and prep costs. Listing with Loqol at a 2.5% seller-side commission ensures you receive full-service representation, professional marketing, and dedicated support while keeping more of your hard-earned equity at the closing table.
Q: How long do homes take to sell in Dublin?
Well-priced, well-presented homes in 2026 are selling in 2–3 weeks (per local market commentary and Altos Research data). Overpriced listings are sitting. The spread between a correctly priced listing and a mispriced one is wider in 2026 than it was during the 2021 frenzy.
Q: Are Dublin home prices going up or down in 2026?
Mixed. Zillow's Home Value Index shows Dublin at $1,376,481, down 2.4% year-over-year. Redfin's trailing-month median is around $1.3M, down ~5% YoY. But active list prices in April 2026 are higher than the trailing medians, suggesting sellers are bringing inventory to market at prices that assume a 2022-style peak rather than the 2026 reality. The market is not crashing; it's normalizing.
Q: Does LOQOL serve Dublin and the Tri-Valley?
Yes. Loqol (Sunday Real Estate Brokerage Inc. dba Loqol), CA DRE #02261474, is a full-service California brokerage with dedicated licensed agents actively serving Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Livermore, and the broader East Bay.
