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's 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. Then the commission math at $750K–$1.6M, and how a $4,399 flat fee with a licensed California agent (LOQOL Charlie AI) stacks up against $57,600 at 6% on the typical Gilroy home.
