Gilroy's median home sells for ~$960,000 (Redfin Gilroy) with a ~38-day median DOM and a sale band that runs $700K–$1.6M across downtown character homes, Glen Loma family product, and Eagle Ridge golf-course estates. At those prices, traditional Gilroy agents charge 5–6% commission, costing sellers $48,000–$57,600 per sale at the citywide median — and $70K–$96K on $1.4M–$1.6M Eagle Ridge top-tier homes.
This is the honest 2026 directory of who is actually selling homes in Gilroy — the Intero South County roster, Compass's Morgan Hill / Gilroy corridor, Coldwell Banker's south-county presence, Keller Williams Bay Area's commuter coverage, and the boutique Eagle Ridge / Glen Loma / downtown specialists. We examine the commission math at $750K–$1.6M, and how a modern 2.5% seller-side commission with a full-service brokerage compares to traditional 5–6% models on a typical Gilroy home.
The Top Real Estate Agents in Gilroy in 2026
1. Intero Real Estate Services — South County / Morgan Hill / Gilroy
Intero (a Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices affiliate) runs the deepest south Santa Clara County book — Gilroy, Morgan Hill, San Martin, and Hollister coverage with multi-decade local-relationship inventory. Traditional 2.5–3% per side commission structure, and the most consistent boutique presence on Eagle Ridge, Glen Loma, and the downtown / Monterey Road historic stock. Often the local-relationship play for sellers who want a multi-decade south-county specialist.
At the $960K Gilroy median, Intero's listing-side commission alone is $24,000 (2.5%) to $28,800 (3%) — before the buyer-agent 2.5% on top.
2. Coldwell Banker Realty — Gilroy / South County
Coldwell Banker maintains a long-standing south Santa Clara County presence with Gilroy agents covering downtown character, Glen Loma family, and Eagle Ridge golf-course inventory. Standard 2.5–3% per side traditional commission, and a multi-decade local relationship network — but the dollar cost is identical to the national-brand option.
At a $1.15M Glen Loma family-tier sale, 2.5–3% listing side is $28,750–$34,500.
3. Compass — Morgan Hill / Gilroy Corridor
Compass runs Morgan Hill / Gilroy as a corridor office, with strong Eagle Ridge golf-course, Glen Loma family, and downtown historic-character books. Traditional 2.5–3% per side, internal team splits, and a heavy push into north-Santa-Clara-priced-out commuter buyers via the 101 corridor.
At a $1.4M Eagle Ridge sale, Compass's listing-side commission alone is $35,000 (2.5%) to $42,000 (3%).
4. Keller Williams Bay Area — Gilroy / Morgan Hill
KW's Bay Area / South County team covers Gilroy as part of the 101 commuter corridor. Agent-driven model with traditional percentage commissions and strong training infrastructure. Strong move-up family and Glen Loma coverage.
At a $1.0M downtown / Glen Loma sale, 2.5–3% listing side is $25,000–$30,000.
5. South County Boutique & Independent Brokerages
Multiple boutique south Santa Clara County brokerages cover Gilroy — eXp Realty agents, Re/Max Real Estate Services, Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate, and a long list of solo agents with multi-decade Gilroy Memorial / Christopher / Gilroy High school-district relationships. Commission structure is the same 2.5–3% per side traditional model.
At any Gilroy price band, the 5–6% structure costs sellers $35K–$96K out of equity.

Evaluating Your Gilroy Listing Options
When selling a home in Gilroy, which remains one of Santa Clara County's last sub-$1M cities, whether it is a $750K East Gilroy starter home or a $1.6M Eagle Ridge estate, you generally face three paths. The first is the traditional route, where a full-service agent charges a 5% to 6% commission. On a typical $960K Gilroy home, this can cost up to $58K, significantly reducing your net proceeds.
The second path is using limited-service MLS companies or fixed-fee MLS entry services. While these options reduce upfront listing costs, they leave the seller entirely on their own to handle complex disclosures, buyer vetting, and contract negotiations. In a market like Gilroy, where the median days on market is ~38 days, navigating these steps without professional representation can lead to costly legal mistakes or selling below market value.
The third path is Loqol's modern full-service model. By charging a 2.5% seller-side commission, Loqol provides a dedicated licensed agent, professional marketing, and a robust seller dashboard. This ensures your home is priced accurately, prepared beautifully, and negotiated professionally to maximize your net proceeds without sacrificing full-service support.
