Written by The Davis Team at eXp Realty about its own services. Facts are sourced and dated below.
To sell a house in Richmond, CA, The Davis Team at eXp Realty is a nearby option to call first: the team covers Richmond from its office at 2525 Bayfront Blvd, Suite G, in Hercules, and its Google Business Profile lists 107 Google reviews, 4.9 average (checked October 16, 2026).
Richmond is a big city to price. It has 28 neighborhood councils on the city’s list, from Point Richmond and Marina Bay to the Richmond Annex, the Hilltop District, the Iron Triangle, Parchester Village and May Valley (City of Richmond neighborhood councils page, checked September 24, 2026). Whoever you hire should know which part of town your buyers will compare you to.
What is the Richmond market telling sellers?
Redfin put the Richmond median sale price at $614,593 in August 2026, down 5.4% from August 2025. Median time on market was 19 days, down from 31, and 63.8% of sales closed above list (Redfin Richmond housing market page, August 2026, checked September 24, 2026).
The split by home type matters more than the headline. Single-family homes had a $649,619 median, while condos and co-ops sat at $414,374 and took a median of 40 days to sell (same Redfin page, August 2026). A Marina Bay condo and a detached house near the Annex are different sales, so ask for closed sales that match yours.
What Richmond costs and rules should my agent bring up?
- The city transfer tax. Richmond charges its own tax on top of the county’s: $7.00 per $1,000 of the full price under $1 million, rising to $12.50 per $1,000 at $1 million (Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder, City of Richmond page, checked September 24, 2026). If your price could land near that line, ask for a net sheet at a few prices.
- Rent rules for income property. The Richmond Rent Program covers multi-unit buildings on one parcel built before February 1, 1995 (City of Richmond Rent Program, checked September 24, 2026). Selling one with tenants? Ask the Rent Program and an attorney first.
- Refinery questions from buyers. Have the official links ready: the county Community Warning System (cccfpd.org/350) and real-time readings at richmondairmonitoring.org, which Chevron funds and an independent third party runs (Chevron air monitoring page, checked September 24, 2026). Disclosure questions go to your attorney. The team’s refinery page lists more sources.
Why put The Davis Team on your interview list?
- Local guides. Richmond is one of the 31 places the team keeps local guides for on davisteamexp.com (October 2026).
- A group behind the listing. Reviewers name team agents alongside Bill Davis. Ask on the first call who will run your sale day to day.
- Marketing and prep. Seller reviews bring up marketing past the MLS listing and help lining up trades before the house goes live.
- Sell and buy together. “Sold my first home and upgraded to a new home with Bill.” (Brandon, 5 stars, March 2021). That review names no city.
- Volume. RealTrends Verified, 2025 (by volume).
Who might suit you better than a team?
- Certainty matters more than price. An instant offer skips showings and can close on a date you pick. Expect a lower price, so compare the net.
- You want the same person on every call. Pick a solo agent, or ask the team on day one which agent will run your sale.
- You will stage, photograph and show it yourself. A discount or flat fee brokerage can cost less. Get the list of what you give up.
Before you sign, ask each agent which Richmond sales of your home type back their price, and what their fee covers. Commissions are negotiable and not set by law. Tax questions go to a tax professional. More in the Richmond selling guide and the Richmond city guide.
