One Percent Realty was founded on a simple principle: sellers deserve full-service representation without paying the commission rates charged by many brokerages. The model works because it's built on efficiency—not on cutting corners.
Commission should reflect service delivered, not industry tradition. A transparent structure means you know exactly what you're paying and why.
Technology and streamlined operations reduce overhead. Those savings are passed directly to you—without compromising quality.
Experience and expertise mean faster transactions and better outcomes. Efficiency benefits everyone involved.
Graham offers a straightforward, transparent fee structure that delivers significant savings while providing complete professional service.

A flat fee of $7,950 total covers both the listing and buyer's agent commission, ensuring full-service representation at a predictable cost.
For comparison, one common commission model used by some brokerages in British Columbia follows a tiered percentage structure:
7% on the first $100,000 of the sale price
3% on the remaining balance
This amount is then typically split between the listing and buyer's agents. Commissions in BC are negotiable—these figures are provided for illustration purposes.

The Comox Valley market is ideally suited for value-based real estate models. Here's why sellers here benefit particularly well from One Percent Realty.
The Comox Valley enjoys consistent demand from relocating families, retirees, and second-home buyers. Well-priced properties sell predictably, regardless of commission structure.
Lifestyle buyers are drawn to the Valley's natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and community feel. Motivated buyers find homes through MLS® regardless of listing brokerage.
Comox Valley homeowners appreciate transparency and fairness. Many have already heard of One Percent Realty and understand the benefits of efficient, full-service representation.
Graham's standard structure includes a 1% buyer-agent (cooperating) commission. This is a competitive rate that ensures your property is shown to all buyers working with agents.
In some situations, sellers choose to offer a higher cooperating commission to maximize agent attention. This is entirely optional and depends on your goals and market conditions.
Graham can advise on whether an increased buyer-agent incentive makes sense for your property. Many homes sell successfully with the standard 1% cooperating commission—especially well-priced listings in desirable neighbourhoods.
No. One Percent Realty is a full-service brokerage with a more efficient fee structure. Graham provides the same comprehensive service as any full-service agent—MLS® listing, professional photography, marketing, negotiation, and transaction management—at a lower commission rate. The savings come from operational efficiency, not reduced service.
Absolutely. Your listing appears on MLS® just like any other property, and cooperating agents receive a competitive 1% buyer-agent commission. Agents are motivated by finding the right home for their clients, and your property will receive full exposure to all qualified buyers.
The $950 covers administrative and marketing expenses associated with listing your home, including professional photography coordination, MLS® data entry, signage, lockbox, and marketing materials. It ensures your listing receives full professional presentation.
Yes. While the standard structure includes 1% for the buyer's agent, you have the option to offer a higher cooperating commission if you prefer. Graham can discuss the implications and help you decide what makes sense for your property and market conditions.
Unlike flat-fee services that leave you to handle showings, negotiations, and paperwork yourself, Graham provides complete representation. You receive full MLS® exposure, professional marketing, expert negotiation, and hands-on support from listing to closing—all at a fraction of the commission rates charged by many brokerages.
Graham's commission structure is already positioned to offer exceptional value. The transparent 1% + 1% + $950 model is designed to be fair and straightforward. For unique situations, Graham is always open to a conversation about what works best.
For homes under $350,000, Graham offers a flat fee of $7,950 total, which covers both the listing and buyer's agent commission. This ensures you receive full service at a predictable cost, regardless of your home's price point.
