Market research suggests that the public recognizes the value of a "middle man" for showing properties and negotiating a sale.  However, the prevailing commission rates are viewed as too high.  This truth is the foundation of One Percent Realty Ltd.   One Percent was established in the spring of 1999 as a completely full service Real Estate Company that offers their services for a lowered rate.

Traditional REALTORS® spend most of their time soliciting business. In fact, like it or not, most REALTORS® feel that half of their job is done at the time they list your home for sale. This is contrary to the seller's best interest, and contrary to One Percent’s belief.  The truth is that when a property is listed is when the REALTOR's® job actually begins. By offering a lower commission rate our REALTORS® spend less time looking for business or ‘losing money’ and more time actually doing our job, which is selling your property.

Real Estate fees are high for a number of reasons. The main reason is because many homes do not sell. Other Realtors® assume the cost of advertising your home when it is listed for sale. However if a property does not sell the REALTOR® must somehow make up this expense. The expense is passed on to successful sellers by way of high real estate commissions. So inadvertently the reasonable and successful seller must pay for the ad costs of the unsuccessful seller. This makes no sense. Our system rewards the successful seller with a much lower commission as well as giving the seller total control over where, when and how his property is advertised. Instead of the traditional relationship of seller wanting more advertising and the REALTOR® wanting less (to keep the costs low), the One Percent Realty concept gets the REALTOR® and seller on the same "team" pursuing the same goal, which is to sell your property!
