MORE ABOUT JONATHAN
A Modern Approach
A house is more than just a structure. It’s a home – a sanctuary for relaxing, raising families, and entertaining friends. When it comes time to purchase or sell such an important part of your everyday life, you need a professional who can help you through the entire process – considering the emotional as well as the analytical, while providing information, expertise and guidance at every turn. I offer a modern, full service approach to real estate – one that is both high-tech and high-touch.
Solutions for Buying or Selling
If you are a prospective buyer, I can help you identify properties with the potential to become your ideal home. Starting with your key criteria, as well as your hopes and visions, we will work together to evaluate homes. When needed, I can supply a little design vision to help you see creative opportunities. If you are planning to sell your home, I can market your house to maximum advantage by applying my integrated marketing and real estate background and drawing on the strength of the Windermere network. Even if you’re not in the market to buy or sell, and just want some advice (evaluating potential improvements, or just keeping abreast of current market trends), I am happy to help.
Integrated Marketing + Real Estate
Prior to joining Windermere, I spent more than a decade building a successful career in integrated marketing and communications. While working for companies like Microsoft, Starbucks and Arthur Andersen, I honed my understanding of successful sales and marketing techniques, classic brand and marketing principles, and effective communication strategies, all of which have proven useful in the real estate industry. Because I understand how to position a product, define a target audience, and craft integrated communications programs, I can more effectively market your home to potential buyers. And with a track record of successfully managing complex, high-value transactions and projects, both in real estate and in the corporate world, you can rest assured, whether working with me as a buyer or a seller, that no detail in your transaction will go overlooked.
Design Matters
I love to play architect, designer, and creative director. And while I am technically none of these things, I do have a keen sense of design, cultivated through my career in marketing and real estate, as well as my personal remodel and renovation projects. Fundamentally, I believe that design matters, and I put this belief and my design sense to work for my clients. If we are preparing your home for sale, I will ensure that our marketing materials and the staging of your home are top-notch. If we are searching for your next home, I’ll be listening to your desires and aspirations and keeping an eye out for properties with potential to become that ideal house for you.
Client Testimonials
"I could not more highly recommend Jonathan to help you sell and buy your home. He is so good that I find myself recommending him even to my friends who are not buying or selling homes, just in case they might one day.
I recommend Jonathan for everyone, but especially for people who are newer to the real estate world. Jonathan explains things in such a clear, calm and easy to understand way that I felt really confident in my decision making.
Jonathan is respectful of everyone involved in this process, he is not obnoxious or pushy in any way, yet he knows exactly how to hit the sweet spot on negotiations. Seriously, I had my first offer on a home accepted and we received 8 offers on the home I sold!
In a stressful process that can also be very emotional, and in the Seattle market as it is right now, I was immensely grateful for Jonathan's calm, grounding presence, for his kindness, and for his no-nonsense clarity.
An additional bonus of working with Jonathan is that he works with another realtor, John McKenna. With both of these men I felt that nothing could fall through the cracks and if something needed immediate attention I was not left waiting.
I loved my last realtor and her shoes were not easy to fill but Jonathan did so and much more!
I know Jonathan and John are very busy so grab them while you can, you will be so happy you did!" - 06/06/2018 - emfh

"We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Jonathan. He helped us purchase our first home and made the process easy and enjoyable. He's an expert at what he does and we are completely confident in his advice and recommendations. He never pressured us into making an offer and gave good (and realistic) insight on competing in the Seattle real estate market. Johnathan is excellent. Highly recommend." - 05/25/2018 - RachelHerd0 Bought a Single Family home in 2018 for approximately $950K in Genesee, Seattle, WA.
