REALTOR® · Tri-Cities, WA
Sell and buy your next home in the Tri-Cities
I help families who've outgrown their home sell and buy at the same time, so you move once, with paid ads on every listing and the real numbers on every decision.
Why this works
I go find the buyer
Putting a home on the MLS and waiting for someone else to bring a buyer is where a lot of agents stop. I don't. Your home gets its own website, a planned launch, and paid ads aimed at the buyers most likely to want it, including the ones who haven't started looking yet.
How your home reaches the right buyer
Relevancy, recency, proximity
Three things decide whether your home gets in front of the buyer who's actually ready to move. I build every listing around all three, and it's why this site has a page for each neighborhood and each situation.
- Relevancy
- Ads aimed at the buyer your home fits: a move-up family, a first-time buyer, someone relocating for a job at PNNL or Hanford. Not everyone in the Tri-Cities at once.
- Recency
- The real numbers, kept current. I pull total days on market from the MLS, not the count that resets online, and you get a report every week your home is listed.
- Proximity
- Specific to your street. Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, West Richland and the neighborhoods inside them, down to which side of Willowbrook is in which school district.
Position. Impact. Conversion.
The E.P.I.C. framework
Four pillars on every home I take. Not a checklist of things agents are supposed to do, but the reasons your home ends up the obvious choice on the market.
Equity
Your price, built from adjusted comps the way an appraiser would, plus the Real Number Check on every competing home, so you know your number before you list.
Presentation
Buyers decide online before they ever walk in. Professional photos, video and drone, a staging consultation, and a 3D walkthrough when the layout needs one.
Impact
Paid Meta ads on every listing, paid for by me up front, aimed at the buyers most likely to want your home. On one recent listing, $1,676 in ads produced a combined reach of 213,588.
Campaign
You don't list your home, you launch it: its own website, a planned first week, every buyer vetted before an offer reaches you, and a weekly report on what's working.
Buying instead?
The R.E.A.L. framework
Most agents start by showing you houses. I start by getting you ready to win one, with every step explained before you take it.
Ready
Pre-qualified with a lender and a Buyer Representation Agreement signed before we tour, so you can act the day the right home lists.
Educated
The whole rate picture and every cost, from earnest money to cash to close, before you fall for a home out of range.
Aligned
A search built on your needs list, with my honest read on every home, and live video tours when you can't be here.
Locked
Offers built on comps, my hardest negotiating after the inspection and appraisal, and every deadline tracked to your keys.
Where you're at right now
Every move is a little different
Selling one home while you buy the next, downsizing, buying your first home, moving here for a job. The steps are the same. The timing and the plan aren't. Start with the one that sounds like you.

Your First Home in Pasco: New Build or Older Home?
West Pasco is full of new construction, and East Pasco has established homes at different prices. Here's how a first-time buyer in Pasco can weigh the two, with the real costs.
Who I am
I used to protect and serve a city. Now I protect and serve my clients, one home at a time.
I'm Brandon Muzatko, a REALTOR® and Washington Managing Broker with TKO Realty Group at Real Broker, LLC. Before real estate, I spent 14 years in law enforcement, and that job taught me to check the facts before I trust them. I also trained as a licensed commercial real estate appraiser trainee, learning the same formal valuation methods banks use. Between the two, guessing stopped being an option. Not when I'm pricing your home, and not when I'm telling you whether an asking price is fair.
Most of my clients are Tri-Cities families who've outgrown their home and need to sell and buy at the same time. I also work with first-time buyers who want every step explained, and with families relocating here from out of state. Around here I say it plainly: I don't just sell, I serve.

Where I work
I work across the Tri-Cities in Benton and Franklin counties. The Tri-Cities is Kennewick, Pasco and Richland, plus West Richland right next door.
Inside those cities, I know a few neighborhoods especially well: Willowbrook and Willowbrook Heights in South Richland, and Hansen Park and the Canyon Lakes area in Kennewick. Each one has its own page with the homes, prices, schools and what's nearby.
How I market homes
Most homes get a sign in the yard and a spot on the MLS, and then the agent waits. I don't wait. Every listing I take gets professional photos, a video walkthrough, drone footage, its own website, and paid Meta ads that I pay for up front. The ads put your home in front of buyers who weren't searching yet, and the tracking tells me who's actually interested.
On one recent listing, $1,676 in ads produced 449,696 impressions and a combined reach of 213,588. A yard sign can't do that. Every week your home is on the market, you get a report on what the ads are doing and what we're adjusting.
The whole system has four parts, and you can read every step on how I sell a home. If you're buying, here's how I help you buy.
Results you can point to
My sold Tri-Cities listings have averaged 37 days on the market, with a median of about 26. When I'm negotiating for buyers, I push hardest after the inspection and appraisal: one low appraisal I negotiated saved my buyer $12,000.
The most common thing I hear after closing isn't about the price or the paperwork. It's that the whole process was easier than they expected. One seller put it this way:
"Communication is key and Brandon made himself available at all hours everyday to cater to my needy question. Never did I feel he was frustrated with how picky I was. He is super patient." Ryan, seller and buyer

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my home and buy another one at the same time?
Yes, and it's most of what I do. We run the full numbers first, then time the sale and the purchase with tools like a contingent offer, a bridge loan or a rent-back, so you only move once.
Which areas do you serve?
Kennewick, Pasco, Richland and West Richland, with neighborhoods I know especially well in South Richland and Kennewick, including Willowbrook, Willowbrook Heights, Hansen Park and Canyon Lakes.
Do you charge extra for the paid ads and video?
No. Every listing gets professional photos, video, drone, its own website and paid Meta ads, paid for by me up front. Commission is negotiable, and we go over it before you sign anything.
