How much does a realtor charge to help me find a home in the Santa Barbara area?
In almost every instance, Montecito realtors are not paid by the buyer, but by the seller of the home or property. When you close on your new home, your realtor will receive a commission from that sale. If you are buying a home in the Santa Barbara Real Estate market or Montecito Real Estate market and have been asked for an upfront payment from a realtor, be extremely wary and consult another real estate agent.
