Joshua Heraldez · CA DRE #02088175
Meet Joshua
An Orange County agent, based in Costa Mesa.
Joshua Heraldez works with sellers across Costa Mesa and the surrounding Orange County communities. Most of his conversations start the same way: what is my home actually worth right now, and what should I do before it goes on the market?
He answers that directly—walking through comparable sales, the preparation that's worth doing and the work that isn't, how offers tend to come in on your street, and what each choice means for your net proceeds and your timeline.
The 1% listing fee is part of the same idea: keep the cost of selling clear, and keep more of your equity available for whatever comes next.
How it works
- 1
Share your property and selling timeline.
A four-step questionnaire covers your address, condition, timeline, and how to reach you.
- 2
Review your pricing and marketing plan with Joshua.
Comparable sales, preparation priorities, and how your home will be marketed.
- 3
Agree on listing terms and prepare your launch.
Fees and terms in writing, then photography and prep before you go live.
Service area
Orange County communities Joshua works in.
1% listing in Huntington Beach
Proximity to the sand, lot orientation, and HOA details shape buyer expectations here more than square footage alone.
1% listing in Fountain Valley
Steady family demand and well-kept tract neighborhoods, where condition and prep work usually decide how fast an offer arrives.
Irvine
Village, school boundary, and Mello-Roos details matter to buyers comparing several listings at once.
Anaheim
A wide price range across the city, so comparable sales need to be drawn tightly around your block.
Orange
Older Plaza-area character homes are valued differently than mid-century homes further east; both benefit from a clear prep plan.
Tustin
Buyers here often weigh Tustin Ranch against Old Town, and presentation of your home's layout carries real weight.
Questions and program terms
The details, in plain terms.
- What does the 1% listing fee cover?
- It is the listing-side fee for representing you in the sale: pricing strategy, listing preparation guidance, professional photography, MLS listing and marketing, showing coordination, offer review and negotiation, and transaction coordination through closing.
- Is buyer-agent compensation included?
- No. The 1% fee is the listing-side fee only. If you choose to offer compensation to a buyer's agent, that amount is separate and additional. Whether to offer it, and how much, is your decision and is negotiable.
- What services are included?
- Pricing strategy based on comparable sales and your goals, professional photography and listing preparation guidance, MLS listing and property marketing, showing coordination and buyer communication, offer review and negotiation, and transaction coordination through closing.
- Are there additional costs or program requirements?
- Beyond the listing fee, normal seller closing costs apply—title and escrow fees, county and city transfer charges where they apply, any concessions you agree to, and any buyer-agent compensation you choose to offer. Optional extras such as staging, repairs, or video production are only billed if you agree to them in writing first.
- How do we choose a listing price?
- Joshua reviews recent comparable sales near your home, current competing listings, your home's condition and layout, and your timeline. You see the same data he does, and you set the final list price.
- Which Orange County communities do you serve?
- Costa Mesa and the surrounding area, including Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Irvine, Anaheim, Orange, and Tustin. If your home is nearby but not listed, ask.
