Let's Explore Seattle

The Seattle housing market is one of the strongest in the country with home value and rent growth consistently topping nationwide rankings in recent years. A strong local labor market drives much of this growth, with the area being headquarters to Amazon, Microsoft, and Zillow. Plus, the Seattle Market can please just about everyone. From the Cascade Mountains to the Puget Sound, to coffee and microbrews, and best of all — no matter what your career — there’s no income tax. And let’s not forget the wide variety of arts, music, and sports.

Magnolia

The large, sleepy neighborhood is a haven for those who pretend they do not live in a city, even while close to its center. The massive and unmanicured Discovery Park helps. So do the suburbanite streets and shopping center.

Queen Anne

Unlikely to ever shake its austere rep with all that stately, yes, Queen Anne architecture, Hilltoppers clutch at the zeitgeist at Canlis parking lot parties and by fawning over Eden Hill Provisions’ remixed Big Mac.

Ballard

Ballard’s once-industrial spirit is now mostly limited to the concrete floors of its multitude of breweries. Friends insist it’s too far. Good friends happily bike over (if the first round is on you).

Capital Hill

Raucous and youthful, Capitol Hill’s all mimosas and man buns floating across rainbow crosswalks. But avoiding the commotion is possible on residential streets. Just prepare for a serious workout on the namesake incline.

Madison Park

Jaw-dropping houses confirm the tony reputation is real. But residents share their shoreline come summer, when pretty much the entire city descends upon Madison Beach. The strip of shops and restaurants beckons all year round.

Madrona

It’s easy to forget this pocket, neither Madison Valley nor the Central District. Residents of these tidy craftsmans (and occasional mansion) may eschew flash, but they do enjoy a central location, Mayberry-friendly retail, and occasional water or skyline views.

Testimonials

Michael and his associate Caitlin were able to help be purchase a waterfront condo in Seattle. The home buying process was entirely new to me but Michael and Caitlin were knowledgeable and available to help me through to and beyond closing. Their real estate experience came in handy not only for information and references, but also in landing the offer. As I understand my offer was one among a handful and not the highest but was accepted by the sellers because of the promptness and professionalism of the my agents - their reasoning was something to the effect of, "this buyer seems like they will be the easiest to work with". Would highly recommend the pair to anyone searching for a home in the Seattle area.

Paul Kang

"I'm so grateful I had the pleasure to work with Michael. He has been wonderful to work with and the utmost professional. He was able to rent out my house twice this year to great tenants and handled the whole transaction seamlessly. I look forward to working with him in the future."
