As home sellers increasingly bypass traditional web searches in favor of AI assistants and hyper-local map queries, a Baltimore-area discount brokerage is repositioning itself to be the answer that surfaces first. The stakes are high: the post-NAR settlement landscape has shattered the old commission norms, and the agencies that master this digital shift stand to capture a wave of cost-conscious clients.

The new alliance pairs advanced Generative Engine Optimization with local search tactics to connect Maryland homeowners with a 1% full-service real estate model.
BALTIMORE, MD, UNITED STATES, October 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — 1 Percent Lists Mid-Atlantic, a discount real estate brokerage focused on the greater Baltimore region, has unveiled a strategic digital collaboration with New Orleans-based digital marketing firm One Click SEO. The initiative is engineered to harness advanced Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and structured entity data, aiming for top placement in both the fiercely contested Google Map Pack and the emerging wave of AI-generated search summaries.
The brokerage, helmed by local real estate veteran Anthony “Tony” Fulco, has carved out a disruptive presence in Maryland’s market by providing complete real estate representation for a listing fee of just 1%. So far, the franchise network claims to have saved clients upwards of $65 million in traditional commissions, all while maintaining full-service marketing and agent expertise. With this partnership, the firm is aligning its customer acquisition tactics with the technology-driven nature of its business model.
“Our commitment has always been to deliver top-tier, full-service real estate guidance while preserving thousands of dollars in client equity,” said Anthony “Tony” Fulco, Owner of 1 Percent Lists Mid-Atlantic. “With the way home searches are changing—buyers and sellers are relying more on AI and localized Google Maps results—we have to be present at that exact point of discovery. Teaming up with One Click SEO means that when Maryland residents look for the most efficient way to sell, our savings-driven approach is the clear answer they encounter.”
This deal lands at a pivotal moment for real estate, following the landmark 2024 National Association of Realtors (NAR) settlement. That ruling effectively dismantled the long-standing 6% commission benchmark, fueling an unprecedented appetite for transparent, negotiable, and budget-friendly alternatives. 1 Percent Lists has expanded aggressively to meet this demand, having previously been recognized as the 3rd Fastest Growing Real Estate Brokerage in America and ranking #441 on the Inc. 5000 list, with a remarkable 1,114% three-year revenue surge. To carry that momentum into modern search channels, One Click SEO brings founder Dean Cacioppo’s 25 years of real estate-specific digital marketing insight. Using proprietary AI-structuring tools, the agency is positioning 1 Percent Lists Mid-Atlantic as the authoritative, cited source as search habits shift from static links to conversational AI interactions.
Based in Harford County, 1 Percent Lists Mid-Atlantic serves a wide geographic area, actively working with buyers and sellers across Harford County, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, and the broader Baltimore metro. Focused service zones include Bel Air, Fallston, Forest Hill, Jarrettsville, Abingdon, Aberdeen, Havre de Grace, Edgewood, Joppa, Riverside, Churchville, Baldwin, Kingsville, Pasadena, and Severna Park. Through this collaboration, each of these distinct submarkets is slated for dedicated local entity mapping and precision Map Pack optimization.
“The nature of search is shifting quickly from conventional blue links to conversational AI responses and dominant hyper-local Map Pack results,” said Dean Cacioppo, Founder of One Click SEO. “Real estate ranks among the most cutthroat digital arenas in the country. Competing today demands more than keyword stuffing; it requires building a verifiable digital entity. Tony’s 1% commission model is precisely the kind of high-value consumer offering search engines prioritize. We’re deploying technical GEO and deep citation architecture to ensure 1 Percent Lists Mid-Atlantic commands the Maryland market.”
Under this alignment, 1 Percent Lists Mid-Atlantic will tap into One Click SEO’s proprietary local SEO lab, systematic review-velocity initiatives, and advanced local entity engineering. This strategy is designed to cement the brokerage’s digital presence across its main service corridors, linking Maryland property owners directly with full-service agents while helping them retain more of their home equity.
