Best Real Estate Team in the PNW – We Won! (2025)

What the “Best in the PNW” Award Is (and How It Works)

Each year, The Seattle Times invites the public to nominate and vote for their favorite businesses, pros, and places across the region. It’s a true people’s-choice program: community nominations lead to a final ballot, open voting follows (you can vote daily during the window), and winners are announced each September in The Seattle Times’ special issue and on BestinthePNW.com. Categories recognize only a small number of honorees (typically Gold/Silver/Bronze per category), which makes the field both competitive and scarce. votethepnw.com+2Best In The PNW+2

Why This Win Matters

Awards are only as meaningful as the community behind them—and this one is powered by our community. Being voted Best Real Estate Team means the people who know our work best—our buyers and sellers—showed up and said, “these are the folks we trust.” With just a handful of winners recognized in each real estate category, the award signals uncommon consistency, client experience, and results in a market where that truly counts. bestinthepnw.com

What Our Clients Say (In Their Words)

Our North Star has always been happy clients, and your reviews reflect exactly what we strive for: strategy, communication, and a fun, human experience.

  • “They go over & above to make sure you have an edge while submitting an offer… super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, organized & responsive.” Get Happy at Home

  • “Matt, Ryan, Marta, and the team did a wonderful job helping us find a home… they took time to get to know us and drive us around different neighborhoods.” (5-star Zillow review, June 2025) Zillow

  • Dozens more 5-star reviews echo the same themes on Yelp and other platforms. Yelp+1

How We Work (and Why It’s Different)

  • Data-driven, strategy-first. From pricing and product-market fit to ADU/DADU rental math, we lead with analysis you can actually use—then translate it into action.

  • Full-stack listing prep. Construction, staging, copy, media, and launch timing all come together in a single, repeatable process that maximizes ROI.

  • Neighborhood fluency. Seattle isn’t “one market.” We live in the micro-trends—street by street—so our advice is tuned to your reality, not a citywide average.

  • Radical transparency. We’ll tell you what moves the needle (and what doesn’t), so you never waste time or money.

  • Make it fun. “Get Happy at Home” isn’t a slogan—it’s how we work. Buying or selling is a big chapter in your life; we keep it human, calm, and (yes) enjoyable.

What This Means for Our Clients in 2025 and Beyond

Winning “Best in the PNW” is a milestone, but it’s also a promise: we’ll keep raising the bar. Expect sharper market reads, smarter listing launches, and the same responsive, roll-up-our-sleeves energy our clients mention again and again. If you’re thinking about a move—this season or next—let’s talk strategy early. A 15-minute call can save weeks later.
