Get 100% of the buyer commission rebated to you.

Our model differs from a traditional brokerage in that there is less hand-holding, but we provide all the tools you need to navigate the home-buying process—at a fraction of the cost. With us, you drive the process while still having access to professional support when you need it.

Here's how it works:

• Finding Properties:
  You'll use our website, your favorite home search platforms, or attend open houses to explore properties that interest you.

• Getting Additional Information:
  If you want details that aren't publicly available—such as inspection reports, seller disclosures, or specific questions for the seller—you can use our Property Insights service to get the information you need. You can also ask your agent questions, and they'll provide guidance as needed.

  Additionally, we offer a curated blog on our website with expert insights, market trends, and practical guides to help home buyers stay well-informed throughout their journey.

• Scheduling Home Tours:
  If there's no open house or you want to see a property sooner, you can book a Home Tour Service to visit the property at your convenience.

• Making an Offer:
  When you're ready to place an offer, your agent will help you develop a strategy. The Offer Service includes unlimited revisions, allowing you to negotiate effectively with the seller and refine your offer as needed.

• Closing the Deal:
  Once your offer is accepted, our agent will provide all the support you need to successfully close on your home.

Our approach gives you the flexibility and control to move at your own pace while ensuring you have expert assistance every step of the way.

You can use our Property Insights service to get the details you need. This service allows you to:

• Ask unlimited questions about the property.
• Receive key property disclosures, including inspection reports and seller disclosure forms.
• Get answers from the seller, coordinated by our team.

If you place an offer on the listing, the fee for this service will be credited back to you.

Yes, we absolutely support home buyers interested in new construction—almost 50% of our transactions involve new construction properties. We have extensive experience negotiating with builders to secure the best deals.

When touring these homes, it's essential to let the builder know that we are your buyer agent from the very first visit to ensure you're eligible to receive their commission.

Absolutely! We love working with investors.

We believe our model is a great fit for investors, as many are familiar with the home buying process and typically need minimal assistance.

By leveraging our à la carte, pay-as-you-go services, you can save significant funds—savings that can be reinvested into your portfolio.

Additionally, you can use our website or mobile app to request and track services, ensuring a streamlined and efficient experience throughout your transactions.

Yes, there is a $6,000 cap on our fees.

Once you reach this amount, the following services—property insights, offers, and closings—are provided at no additional cost. However, the home tour service will still incur a fee if you continue using it.

It's worth noting that the majority of our clients stayed well below this cap when purchasing their homes with us.

With our pay-as-you-go model, you only pay for services after they are completed.

• Fees for property insights, home tours, and writing offers are due upon completion of each service.
• The closing service fee is deducted from the commission received at closing before issuing your rebate.

Rest assured, you will never be charged upfront—payment is only due after the service is provided.

We currently operate in Washington State.

At this time, our focus is on helping home buyers. However, if you already have a buyer, we can facilitate the purchase while handling paperwork and ensuring legal compliance, all at a nominal cost.

Absolutely!

We believe that hearing directly from those who have worked with us can offer valuable insights into our model and its effectiveness.

If you'd like to speak with any of our past clients, just let us know—we'll be happy to connect you with references who can share their experiences and answer your questions.

We offer a non-exclusive buyer agency agreement, so you're never locked into working with us exclusively.

If you decide to move in a different direction, you can cancel our agreement at any time with just a button click on your account page—no questions asked.

Please note, however, that if you have any ongoing transactions (such as a closing), we will continue to represent you until they are completed.

In one word: Spam.

We've found that publicly listing our phone number leads to excessive spam calls from marketers scraping websites. Unlike email spam, which can be filtered, spam calls are harder to manage and could cause us to miss important calls from actual customers.

To get in touch, we recommend scheduling a discovery call, or emailing us at contact@1krealty.com. We're happy to connect!

"1K" stands for "One of a Kind".

We chose this name to reflect our commitment to providing a unique real estate experience—offering unmatched value, flexibility, and a fresh, modern approach for home buyers.
