Buying or Selling in Thousand Oaks
Thousand Oaks sits at the center of the Conejo Valley, bordered by Newbury Park to the west, Westlake Village and Agoura Hills to the east, and Simi Valley over the hill to the north. It's one of Ventura County's most established suburban markets -- master-planned neighborhoods, top-rated schools throughout Conejo Valley Unified School District, and direct access to the 101 for LA commuters. The Redfin 2026 median sits at $1.08M-$1.1M, with Zillow's ZHVI at $1,052,875.
Roman represents both buyers and sellers in Thousand Oaks for the same flat fee -- $7,250 for transactions under $1.5M, $9,250 above. Buyers receive a closing cost credit when the seller offers commission; sellers pay a flat listing fee instead of a traditional percentage commission and keep the difference.
Buying a Home in Thousand Oaks
At $7,250, Roman's flat fee covers full buyer representation -- property tours, offer strategy, negotiation, inspection coordination, and transaction management through closing. The fee is stated as the maximum compensation in your BRBC before the first showing. If the seller offers a buyer's agent commission at or above $7,250, the excess comes back to you as a closing cost credit on the settlement statement.
| Purchase Price | 2.5% Commission | Roman's Flat Fee | Your Closing Cost Credit |
|---|---|---|---|
| $900,000 | $22,500 | $7,250 | $15,250 |
| $1,100,000 (median) | $27,500 | $7,250 | $20,250 |
| $1,500,000 | $37,500 | $9,250 | $28,250 |
Selling Your Thousand Oaks Home -- Full Service, Flat Fee
Roman also offers full-service flat fee listing representation in Thousand Oaks -- $7,250 for homes under $1.5M, $9,250 at $1.5M and above, regardless of final sale price. This isn't a discount MLS-entry service: it's the same scope of work a traditional percentage-commission listing agent provides -- pricing strategy and CMA, professional photography coordination, full MLS listing and syndication, showing coordination, offer review and negotiation, disclosure preparation, and escrow coordination through closing.
Nearly everything is included. The two exceptions are yard signage and hosting open houses -- these are not part of the flat fee, though open houses can be arranged on request.
