Drawing from many years of serving people of very diverse backgrounds, we enjoy what the world of real estate involves. Developing trusting relationships with our clients, saving them time and money, and providing solid education are the highlights of our careers as managing brokers. Our clients appreciate working with a team for double the support and that we have staff of our own so we can focus on our clients. Also, having purchased quite a few properties ourselves, we understand not only the local neighborhoods but how to minimize the natural stress of real estate transactions. Buying real estate is a long or short term investment that can produce incredible results if done right in a good market. We strive to benefit our clients through our tried and true systems, clear communication, honesty, and moving quickly to meet their needs.

MY STORY

"Peter helped us find our first home in the competitive Seattle area market, during a pandemic. I could not be more grateful for all of his insight and help throughout the process. We went in knowing very little and Peter explained every part of the home buying process in a way that helped us feel informed but not overwhelmed. He wasn't afraid to let us know if something was worth it or not, and used his vast knowledge to give us an idea of how much repairs/updates might cost. I can't imagine doing this process without Peter and have already recommended him to a friend." - Alex Campbell

In 1979, my Mother in Korea sacrificed her ties with me and sent me to America to find a better life in this "land of opportunity" through adoption to a family in Spokane, WA. I was ten years old. My sister and I came together. You can imagine the culture shock and adjustment, starting with basic English language acquisition. This experience gave me the drive to make the most of my life. I know what hard work is. I know how to persevere and see barriers as an opportunity to find a solution. These lessons were learned from my new parents as well as with the help of incredible mentors in my life who reached out to me – kind hearted teachers, pastors, and coaches. As an adult, I became a public speaker and mentor to youth in my community and developed programs to help them connect.

Later I was chosen by a successful Real Estate Broker and investor for a mentoring relationship, the fruit of which became the start of my own Brokerage, Urban Properties, with the help of my gifted wife Rachel Badgett who also has a background in education, administration, and counseling. Being a big picture person and working with so many folks in the community, I could see that people’s financial situations were often at the center of their lives – whether they acknowledged it or not. In order to guide my clients more thoroughly, I also obtained licenses in mortgage and insurance (as related to retirement funding). Along with running my Brokerage, I've specialized in education by providing Financial Intelligence seminars and coaching.

MY STORY

I have a deep respect for the power of words and planning wisely. My first job began at nineteen working for lawyers. I watched words used to protect personal injury victims and those experiencing discrimination as I transcribed letters full of legal jargon and helped run the office. I then went on to earn degrees in education, English, and counseling while the undercurrent of much of my work has been administrative. In real estate I get to combine my desire to help people, my love for words to educate my clients, advertise their property well, negotiate, and scour legal contracts, and my administrative mind to project manage on behalf of my clients. You need a reliable and dedicated representative when dealing with something as overwhelming as real estate. I'm here to save you time and money through listening closely to your goals, clearly communicating your choices, utilizing the best resources, and thoroughly researching as well as marketing to make sure you get top dollar for your property. Selling and buying at the same time can seem wildly overwhelming but I help you create a plan you can handle. I feel privileged when someone trusts me with one of the largest financial transactions of their life and it shows. Most of my clients are repeat customers or referrals from those who know me. Year after year they nominate me for awards in customer service and I am truly grateful for their support!
