Why Palm Tree
A Brokerage Built for
Agents Who Produce
We're not the biggest brokerage in San Diego. We're the right one for agents who want real support, real leadership, and a culture where top performers are recognized and rewarded.
Competitive Splits
We offer strong commission splits designed to put more money in your pocket on every deal. No nickel-and-diming, no surprise fees. Transparent comp from day one.
A Brand That Opens Doors
Palm Tree Properties has a premium reputation in San Diego's residential market. The brand works for you — with sellers, buyers, and referral partners who know and trust us.
You Actually Know Your Broker
At most big brokerages, agents have never met the broker — or even know who they are. At Palm Tree, you have direct access to Erik. Got a question on a deal? Call him. That's the difference.
Real Leadership, In the Market
Founded and led by a San Diego broker with $150M+ in closed transactions. You get mentorship from someone who's actually in this market — not a suit who hasn't sold in years.
Marketing That Works
Professional listing support, digital marketing, and a brand presence that helps your listings stand out. We make you look good so you can win more business.
Built-In Referral Network
Our property management and commercial real estate arms generate a steady flow of owner relationships and investor referrals that benefit agents on our sales team.
Ideal Agent
Who Fits Here
We're selective. We'd rather have a small team of great agents than a roster full of people who aren't producing.
You're a great fit if you…
Hold an active California DRE license
Have closed residential sales transactions in San Diego
Are hungry to grow your production year over year
Take ownership of your business — you don't wait for leads to come to you
Value a brokerage where leadership is accessible and knows your name
Want to be part of a tight, high-performing team — not lost in a crowd

This probably isn't for you if you…
Need hand-holding to generate your own business
Are looking for a passive, low-effort environment
Want the anonymity of a 500-agent mega-brokerage
Prioritize brand name over culture, splits, and leadership
