Number One Real Estate brings together a collection of independent self employed agents supported by a team of experienced property professionals serving communities across the region.
Led by founder Katie Darlow, the team combines extensive local market knowledge with expertise in sales, valuations, customer service, and operations, providing clients with a personalised, professional approach to buying and selling property.

Number One Real Estate opened its doors in June 2020, with a desire to change the perception of estate agents by becoming trusted advisors and creating a more personal, relationship-led approach to estate agency.
Today, Number One Real Estate operates through a network of independent agents covering areas including Newport, Bridgend, Cardiff, Caerphilly, Swansea and the surrounding regions.

My goal was to build a trusted, personal, relationship-led service and to become the most recommended agents in our areas but also the best place to work.
Today, our independent agents proudly support communities across Newport, Bridgend, Cardiff, Caerphilly, Swansea and the surrounding areas, delivering expert advice with care everywhere. We are now a multi award winning company and proud of our most recent award winning Gold at the Trusted Agent Kerfuffle Awards 2026.
