Madera County sits at the geographic heart of California, and its real estate market is really two markets in one. On the Valley floor, agents work agricultural and suburban growth around the city of Madera and Chowchilla — one of the faster-growing residential corridors in the Fresno-Madera metro. Up in the Sierra foothills, a completely different market takes over: mountain and lake-community listings around Oakhurst, Coarsegold, Ahwahnee, and Bass Lake, much of it driven by proximity to Yosemite National Park's southern gateway. Whichever side of the county you work, CURB Realty's flat-fee 100% commission plan means every closing — whether it's a Valley subdivision or a foothill cabin — pays you in full.
