Moraga's 2026 housing market is fast, school-driven, and supply-constrained. The citywide median sits at $2.0M (Redfin Moraga) at $697/sqft, the broader Lamorinda detached-home median DOM is about 10 days (Lamorinda market reports / Compass), and the Campolindo High School attendance-zone premium is structurally supporting prices well above generic Contra Costa County medians.
When a Lamorinda market moves this fast at this price tier, agent selection matters in a specific way: a Moraga listing won't sit long enough to course-correct mid-flight. The right Moraga agent prices into the first weekend's open-house and broker-tour traffic, knows which attendance-zone comps actually apply, and has a clear post-Burnett strategy on buyer's-side cooperating commissions — because at a $2M median, every percentage point of total commission is $20,000 of seller equity.
This guide covers the brokerages and agent profiles with documented Moraga and Lamorinda activity in 2026, compared with Loqol's full-service model. At the $2,000,000 median, a traditional 3% listing commission alone is $60,000. At upper-Campolindo price levels around $2.4M, the same percentage costs $72,000. That's the seller's commission question, in dollars.
What "Best" Means in a Lamorinda Market This Tight
Moraga is small (~16,000 residents, ~9.4 square miles), and a high share of its 2026 buyer demand comes from family buyers seeking confirmed Campolindo High School zoning, Saint Mary's College faculty and staff, and Lamorinda triangle locals upgrading within the area. A "best agent" in this market is one who:
- Knows the Campolindo vs Moraga Country Club vs Sanders Ranch vs Bollinger Canyon vs Rheem Center sub-neighborhood and attendance-zone comp distinctions, and prices off last-90-day school-zone-filtered comps.
- Can market into the family-buyer-with-school-aged-children cohort as well as the empty-nest and upsize cohorts that drive Country Club listings.
- Is comfortable with first-weekend pricing strategy that anticipates 5-10% over-list bidding on hot Campolindo-zoned inventory, rather than aspirational pricing that risks 15+ day market sits.
- Negotiates buyer's-side cooperating commissions post-Burnett (2024 NAR settlement), since many Lamorinda buyers are tech and finance professionals comfortable negotiating their own broker fees.
- Has transparent commission economics — listing-side fee, buyer's-side strategy, and any package fees clearly broken out in writing before signing the listing agreement.
Moraga Brokerages and Agent Profiles
The brokerages and agents below appear across major industry rankings (HomeLight, U.S. News, Redfin, Compass, FastExpert) for Moraga, CA. Inclusion here doesn't constitute a recommendation; it reflects documented Lamorinda transaction activity. For full agent-level rankings see HomeLight Moraga top agents, Compass Moraga agents, and U.S. News Moraga agent rankings.
Compass — National brokerage with 81 Compass agents in Moraga per Compass's own Moraga directory, and a separate Moraga Country Club specialty group of 14 agents per Compass's Moraga Country Club page. Compass dominates Lamorinda by transaction count, with documented top-volume teams in Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda. Compass marketing budgets, photography quality, and digital syndication tend to be among the highest in the local market. Several Compass Lamorinda specialists have multi-decade Moraga-specific transaction histories. Commission structures are typically full percentage-based. Top profiles cited in Compass's Lamorinda directory and broader Lamorinda agent rankings include long-tenured agents with documented Campolindo-zone and Country Club transaction concentration.
Coldwell Banker — Long-established national brand with multiple East Bay and Lamorinda offices serving Moraga. Strong on relocation referrals (a meaningful share of Moraga demand comes from out-of-area family buyers prioritizing school zoning), with familiar national brand recognition. After the 2026 Compass-Anywhere acquisition closed, Coldwell Banker is part of the merged entity, though local Coldwell Banker offices continue to operate under the legacy brand.
Keller Williams (KW East Bay / KW Walnut Creek) — National franchise with East Bay and Walnut Creek-area offices serving Moraga. Several Lamorinda KW agents are visible in HomeLight Moraga rankings. Commission structures vary by agent; the KW model can support either traditional percentage commissions or sometimes negotiated fee structures.
Dudum Real Estate Group — Local Lamorinda-headquartered independent brokerage with deep Moraga, Lafayette, and Orinda transaction history. Dudum agents tend to have multi-decade Lamorinda relationships and Campolindo-zone comp expertise. Pricing is competitive with Compass and Coldwell Banker; the value proposition is local depth rather than national-brand reach.
Village Associates Real Estate — Independent Lamorinda specialty brokerage with concentrated Moraga, Orinda, and Lafayette focus. Village Associates is one of the longest-tenured Lamorinda independents, with sub-neighborhood comp expertise that maps directly to Moraga's Campolindo and Country Club sub-markets.
Sereno — Independent California brokerage with East Bay coverage. Sereno agents tend to know Lamorinda sub-neighborhood comp sets at a granular level.
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Reliance Partners — Local East Bay independent affiliate of the BHG real estate franchise, with Lamorinda activity.
Top Lamorinda agent profiles cited in industry rankings — Per Compass's published agent records and HomeLight Moraga rankings, profiles like Keith Katzman (Compass — top-producing Lamorinda agent since 1988, listings averaging some of the best DOM in Lamorinda and sale prices among the highest over asking, per Keith Katzman's Compass profile), Elena Hood (Compass — 28+ years in East Bay residential, top-1% group ranking per Elena Hood's Compass profile and orinda.com), Judy Sin (Compass — Lamorinda specialist), and Finola Fellner (Lamorinda specialist) appear regularly in Lamorinda-area rankings. Agent-level transaction counts, review histories, and client testimonials should always be verified directly on the agent's brokerage profile and via HomeLight before signing a listing agreement.

How to Choose: Moraga Agent Selection Checklist
If you're interviewing Moraga agents in 2026, these are the questions that separate the right agent from a generic Lamorinda generalist:
1. What's your last 12 months of Moraga-specific transaction volume — broken out by Campolindo, Country Club, Sanders Ranch, Bollinger Canyon, and Rheem Center? Lamorinda totals don't tell you whether the agent has actually sold inside your sub-market and attendance zone.
2. Show me your last three Campolindo-zone (or Country Club, or Sanders Ranch) comp sheets. A real Moraga specialist will have school-zone-filtered comps ready. A generalist will pull citywide $/sqft.
3. What's your post-Burnett strategy on buyer's-side cooperating commission? The right answer reflects market-specific judgment — many Lamorinda buyers are comfortable negotiating their own broker fees, and offering a full 2.5% buyer's-side commission may be giving away $40,000-$60,000 the market doesn't require.
4. What is your listing-side commission, broken out separately from any buyer's-side offering? A transparent agent will tell you exactly what they earn on the listing side. A non-transparent agent will quote "5%-6% total" without breaking it apart.
5. What is the all-in marketing spend and who pays for what? Photography, drone, staging consultation, MLS premium placements, broker tours, and Open House events — each line item should be clearly assigned to either the agent or the seller.
Loqol's full-service model addresses these requirements transparently before any listing agreement is signed, providing clear terms and dedicated agent support from start to finish.
Best Real Estate Agents in Moraga 2026 — FAQ
Who are the top real estate agents in Moraga for 2026?
The largest documented Moraga agent rosters are at Compass (81 agents in Moraga, 14 dedicated Moraga Country Club specialists, per [Compass's directory](https://www.compass.com/agents/locations/moraga-ca/44403/)), Coldwell Banker, Keller Williams East Bay, Dudum Real Estate Group, Village Associates, Sereno, and Better Homes and Gardens Reliance Partners. Top Lamorinda agent profiles cited in industry rankings include Keith Katzman (Compass), Elena Hood (Compass), Judy Sin (Compass), and Finola Fellner (finolafellner.com). Always verify current transaction counts and reviews directly on the agent's brokerage profile and via HomeLight Moraga before signing.
What commission do Moraga real estate agents charge?
Most Moraga listings are signed at 2.5% to 3% listing-side commission, plus a separate cooperating commission to the buyer's agent (historically 2.5%, increasingly negotiable post-Burnett). Loqol charges a 2.5% seller-side commission when the seller onboards through Loqol, providing a dedicated licensed agent and full-service support.
How much does it cost to sell a $2,000,000 home in Moraga?
At the $2,000,000 median, a traditional 3% listing commission costs $60,000; a 2.5% commission is $50,000. Loqol's 2.5% seller-side commission on a $2,000,000 sale is $50,000, which includes a dedicated licensed agent, signage, in-house marketing, and full dashboard visibility.
Should I list with a national brand like Compass, Coldwell Banker, or a Lamorinda specialty boutique like Dudum or Village Associates, or with a fixed-fee brokerage?
The decision depends on finding a partner who combines local expertise with modern transaction execution. Moraga is a comp-driven, school-zone-driven market with a 10-day Lamorinda median DOM. School-zone-filtered comps and sub-neighborhood comp expertise drive the price. A full-service partner like Loqol provides dedicated agent representation, in-house marketing, and a comprehensive seller dashboard to ensure a smooth transaction and accurate pricing.
How long does it take to sell a home in Moraga?
Lamorinda detached homes are clearing in about 10 days in early 2026 (Compass / Bay Area Market Reports Lamorinda). Inventory is "inadequate" against demand, creating overbidding on hot listings and short market times for correctly priced inventory.
Does LOQOL handle all the paperwork and disclosures?
Yes. Dedicated licensed California agents at Loqol handle TDS (Transfer Disclosure Statement), SPQ (Seller Property Questionnaire), Contra Costa County and Moraga-specific disclosures, RPA contract review, contingency timelines, and closing coordination. Our agents work on software we built ourselves to track every detail. In your seller dashboard, you can ask Charlie, our in-house AI, what is happening with your sale at any point and get an answer grounded in your actual deal.
