Relocating From the Bay Area to Seattle or Bellevue?

You already know how competitive the Bay Area market is. The Greater Seattle area — Bellevue, Mercer Island, Kirkland, Redmond, Issaquah, and Sammamish — is equally fast-moving, and the nuances matter. School districts, neighborhood character, commute patterns to Microsoft and Amazon campuses, and what your Bay Area equity actually buys you here are all questions I answer every day. Having worked in San Francisco real estate before planting roots in Bellevue, I bring firsthand knowledge of both markets that most local agents simply don't have.

A Different Kind of Real Estate Advisor

  • Before real estate, I was a construction litigation attorney representing infrastructure contractors across California. That background means I read contracts differently, spot risk earlier, and negotiate with a level of rigor that protects my clients at every step.

  • As the #1 team with Sotheby's International Realty in Washington State, I combine local Eastside expertise with a global marketing network that reaches qualified buyers in the Bay Area, Asia, and beyond — critical for sellers in today's luxury market.

  • Whether you're selling in Silicon Valley and buying in Bellevue, or evaluating Eastside neighborhoods for the first time, having one advisor who knows both markets removes friction from a process that's complicated enough already.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Kelly guided my family through selling our home with efficiency, professionalism, and most importantly, successful execution. Thanks to her hard work, our home was sold in a week. Her organizational skills, instinct, and client rapport to make all that happen so seamlessly. Kelly has all these and more. And her talents are only matched by her humility. Kelly is a friend, but I’m also proud to call her our agent.

Serving Seattle, Bellevue, and the Greater Eastside

My clients buy and sell throughout the greater Seattle metropolitan area. I have deep market knowledge across Bellevue, Seattle, Mercer Island, Kirkland, Redmond, Issaquah, and Sammamish — from waterfront estates on Lake Washington or Lake Sammamish to family homes near the top-ranked Bellevue and Issaquah school districts.

I work with tech executives, relocating for roles at Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Adobe and Google, families evaluating Eastside neighborhoods and school districts, and luxury sellers who need global reach to find the right buyer. Whatever brings you to the table, I bring the market knowledge and strategic precision to get you where you need to go.

Thinking About Making the Move From the Bay Area?

Most of my relocation clients start with a conversation — no pressure, no commitment. We talk about your timeline, your priorities, and whether the Eastside is actually the right fit for your family. If it is, I'll make sure you're positioned to move decisively when the right home comes along.
