Buy Your Next Home with Confidence.

Seattle’s market is fast, complex, and full of noise. We don’t just open doors; we provide the insights you need to avoid the "money pits" and win the right home at the right price.

 

Know Before You Commit

Most agents want to show you the crown molding; we’re looking at the foundation, the HOA reserves, and the pending special assessments. We’ve told more clients to walk away than to sign, because we care more about your long-term equity than a quick commission.

The Inside Track
 

By the time a home hits Zillow, you’re already behind. Through our deep ties to the Seattle developer community and our massive reader network, we often have the "inside track" on upcoming listings, off-market townhomes, and new construction projects before they launch.

Win without overpaying

In a market of multiple offers, "highest" isn't always "best." We use data-backed strategies to structure offers that stand out to sellers — without leaving your future wealth on the table. We’re not just agents; we’re your lead negotiators.

 

Expertise in the Niches Others Ignore.

Seattle real estate isn't one-size-fits-all. Each property type has its own set of "hidden" rules. We’ve written the playbook on:

  • New Construction: Spotting quality builders vs. corner-cutters.
  • Condos & Lofts: Decoding the health of an HOA.
  • Waterfront & Floating Homes: Navigating the complex world of docks and DNR leases.

Had the pleasure of working with Land to both sell our house and find a new home. Can’t speak highly enough about his work-ethic, professionalism and knowledge of every aspect of selling and buying a house. Would highly recommend Urban Living Seattle! Great team. Thank you!!
Katherine
Land was exceptional in his work with us in finding a new home. He was patient, optimistic and has so much knowledge about homes. We felt supported and well taken care of throughout the whole process. His communication was also very consistent and he made himself available easily which is helpful with house buying.

I was fortunate to work with Matt, on a recent real estate transaction. Matt produces work of exceptional quality, by taking the time to fully understand the scope of situation, displaying a keen attentional to detail, and managing all parties’ time efficiently. He goes above and beyond in his efforts to ensure his clients are educated, happy, and in their dream home! Matt is committed to producing work that meets high standards and truly was a pleasure to work with.
Cassie
We just bought our first home through Matt and his team, and it was the best experience. As first time home buyers trying to navigate the market in Seattle, he was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and supportive when guiding us. He found us the absolute perfect home, and handled his end of offer negotiating and communicating with sellers so well we landed our dream first home! We would definitely work with him again in the future and recommend working with him and his team!
Jennifer
Matt went above and beyond throughout the nine month condo buying journey. Matt was very responsive and communicative via every channel throughout the process (i.e. phone, email, text, in person). He has in depth knowledge of each building, and provided detailed responses to each question I had throughout the process.
Priscilla
Alicia went above and beyond in the buying process. She helped me understand the intricacies and specific challenges involved with buying a FOWR. Every email and conversation was clear and precise. Each step was outlined and expectations well managed. Alicia is well connected and well versed in this business and I felt complete confidence in her skills and knowledge.
Tom
We had a wonderful experience with Land as our realtor. He was extremely professional and worked diligently to find a home that met our needs. We’re relocating from the east coast and he provided extensive local knowledge and a level of service that couldn't be beat.
