Meet Kurt Congdon
I am an Iowa native who came to Nevada County
as a boy on family vacations. As long as I can remember I wanted to live in
Nevada County. I fell in love first with the Yuba River that finds its way
through most of the county then… I learned there was so much more to
appreciate here.
Included in the area's many charms are a rich
cultural life and arts scene. Additionally I have found an accepting and
embracing community. This and so much more with the back-drop of some of
California's most splendid natural environment has greatly enriched the lives
of all that live here.
I moved to California in 1983 and finally to
Nevada City in 1995. Who would have guessed that selling real estate (which
I love) would allow me to live in my favorite place in North America?!
Having also lived in Los Angeles, I easily
relate to the dreams my clients hold about a higher quality and more affordable
way of life.
Now having lived here more than 10 years,
and reaching the top of my profession…I find Nevada City, Grass Valley and
surrounding environs more unique and special everyday. This is the California
we all dream about!
Please take some time to visit the carefully
chosen links and features on my site. I look forward to hearing from you
and learning about your history and dreams for a different way of living.

Agency >Who Pays the Commission
Does it cost the homebuyer more to be represented by a buyer's agent who serves their interests exclusively? No, because the listing agent splits the sales commission, which is customarily paid by the seller of the home, with the buyer's agent. The sales commission split is usually 50-50, but the listing agent and buyer's agent will sometimes make another agreement and split the commission unequally.
There is one very unusual circumstance in which the homebuyer might pay a commission to their buyer's agent. The real estate agent might show the buyer a local "for sale by owner" (FSBO) home which the client decides to purchase. In most cases, the FSBO seller who is presented with a qualified buyer is glad to pay the buyer's agent a reduced fee of about 3 percent, or half of a normal sales commission. But the FSBO seller could stubbornly refuse to pay the buyer's agent any commission whatsoever. In that case, the buyer's agent would legitimately expect the buyer to pay the sales commission, in fair exchange for the agent finding the FSBO home and negotiating a successful transaction.
