Chad Nolan,
Tacoma Broker
and Owner.
Chad Nolan is the Tacoma real estate Broker and Owner behind 1 Percent Lists Tacoma, a Washington real estate office built around full service representation, direct communication and a listing fee model designed to give sellers more control over their equity.
Known for a practical, straight answer style, Chad helps sellers, buyers, investors and families evaluate the real numbers, the real risks and the smartest next move.
Full Service Should Feel Smarter.
Real estate commissions are negotiable and every agreement is different. Chad built his seller listing fee to give clients full service guidance, strong marketing and expert negotiation with a clear fee conversation from the start.
Brokerage owner mindset
Chad owns the brokerage, sets the client experience and is accountable for the systems behind pricing, communication, marketing, negotiation and contract to close support.
Experience across different property types
Chad has worked with sellers, buyers and investors on single family homes, multifamily properties, vacant land, new construction and commercial style transactions. That range matters when a deal has unusual terms, repair concerns, valuation questions or timeline pressure.
Range across markets
Chad works across the South Sound and surrounding Washington markets which helps clients compare neighborhoods, buyer demand, commute patterns and pricing behavior in different pockets of the market.
A Better Real Estate Experience Is Built Before The Sign Goes Up.
Chad pairs the 1% seller listing fee with owner level accountability, practical pricing, presentation strategy, negotiation discipline and clear communication.
Clear net first thinking
For sellers, the best offer is the one that works on paper and survives the details. Chad helps compare price, credits, timing, contingencies, appraisal risk, inspection terms and your actual net.
Full marketing at 1%
Professional listing presentation, MLS exposure, online visibility, buyer follow-up, negotiation, paperwork, inspection response, appraisal support and closing coordination stay part of the plan.
Buyer strategy that goes beyond tours
For buyers, Chad helps evaluate condition, disclosures, financing terms, inspection terms, resale risk and whether the home actually fits the client's long term goals.
Direct communication
Clients choose Chad for straight answers. He explains the next step, the risk, the upside and the tradeoff without burying people in vague sales language.
Owner level standards
The service model, communication style and client expectations all come back to his name so he holds every transaction to the same standard.
Built for repeat trust
Chad wants people comfortable calling again, asking questions later and referring friends or family with confidence.
The Right Plan, Without Pressure.
People reach out at different stages, some ready to list, some comparing options and some unsure whether moving even makes sense. Chad meets people where they are and gives them useful information before they make a big decision.
Listen first
Chad starts with your reason for moving, timing, financial goals, constraints and what would make the process feel like a win.
Map the numbers
He helps you understand likely price ranges, costs, negotiable terms and the difference between headline price and real net outcome.
Build the strategy
For sellers, that means prep, presentation, pricing, launch timing and offer review. For buyers, it means financing, searches, tours, terms and negotiation.
Stay involved
From contract to closing, Chad helps keep details moving so inspections, appraisal, contingencies, communication and paperwork do not get messy.
