For the people who serve
The TKO Service Program
A $1,500 rebate credit on every closing, and a plan built around your shifts, for first responders, military, educators and healthcare workers. Buying, selling or both.
For Tri-Cities families who serve, from someone who did
The TKO Service Program is for the people who keep the Tri-Cities running on shifts most of us never see: nurses on 12-hour rotations, deputies and firefighters on nights, teachers grading at the kitchen table, and service members working around orders. Buying or selling a home shouldn't fight your schedule.
I'm Brandon Muzatko, a REALTOR® and Washington Managing Broker with TKO Realty Group at Real Broker, LLC. I spent 14 years working shifts in law enforcement, so I know what it's like when the process expects you to be available at 2 p.m. on a Tuesday. This program is how I build the sale or the purchase around your job instead.
Who the TKO Service Program is for
Open to first responders, military, educators and healthcare workers, whether active, retired or reserve, plus their spouses and dependent children. One household member is all it takes.
- First responders: law enforcement, corrections, firefighters, EMS, paramedics and 911 dispatchers.
- Military: active duty, veterans, reservists and the National Guard.
- Educators: teachers (K-12 and higher ed), teacher's aides, paraeducators, school counselors and nurses, administrators, coaches and district support staff.
- Healthcare workers: physicians, dentists, registered nurses, LPNs, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, hospital and clinic staff, and home health and hospice workers.
The TKO Service Program
What's included
A $1,500 rebate credit on every closing. Buying, selling or both. It's one $1,500 rebate credit per closing, so if you're selling one home and buying the next with me, you get one on each. It comes from me and it's written into your agreement with me: your buyer agreement when you buy, your listing agreement when you sell.
Applied as a credit at closing. Subject to lender approval and loan program limits.
A vendor network that understands your job. Lenders, inspectors and movers who are used to working around shifts and orders. They're options, never a requirement. Your choice, always.
Your schedule, not mine. Text-first communication, plus early, late and weekend showings around rotations and 12-hour shifts. When you can't break away, I can tour a home for you on a live video call and tell you what the camera doesn't show.
The same full service every buyer gets. Every step explained before you take it, every deadline on paper, and my hardest negotiating after the inspection and appraisal. Read how I help you buy.
How it works
- Schedule a 30-minute call. No obligation. We talk about what you want, your timeline and your shifts.
- Show me you serve. A badge, a work ID, a DD-214 (cover your Social Security number first) or a photo of you on the job. It takes 30 seconds.
- I build the plan around your schedule. Buying: new listings sent to you, and showings set when you're actually off. Selling: showing windows that fit your rotation.
- Your $1,500 rebate credit is applied at closing, one on each closing if you're selling and buying.
Stack it with the programs you already qualify for
If you're buying, the rebate credit comes from me, separate from your loan, so it can sit alongside other help. VA loans for eligible veterans and service members often need no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance. The Washington State Housing Finance Commission offers down payment help for qualifying buyers, and some lenders have programs for teachers, nurses, first responders and veterans. Ask your lender which ones fit you.
