Apparently, a lot of people are more interested in what’s behind me than what I’m actually talking about. 😅

I get DMs all the time asking about the things in my office background, so here’s the explanation.

The airplane is because I’ve always loved aviation and probably would’ve enjoyed being a pilot in another life. The camera is a nod to photography, which used to be a huge hobby of mine. And yes, the keg is there because I genuinely love good beer.

Just a few things I enjoy looking at every day while working. Maybe pickleball gear gets added next! 👀

As spring gets underway, our region’s real estate market is sending mixed signals. April saw inventory climb across the board, yet buyer activity didn’t keep pace with that supply growth. Affordability remains a central theme: mortgage rate sensitivity continues to weigh on decision-making at higher price points, while markets that have seen meaningful price corrections are beginning to show signs of reengagement. The result is a regional landscape that looks quite different depending on where you’re standing.

The Seattle market tells a different story. The median residential sold price fell 6% to $944,000 in April, and that correction seemed to move things along— closed and pending sales rose 7% and 1%, respectively, even as active listings climbed 29%. Increased affordability appeared to draw buyers in despite the expanded inventory.

With the World Cup coming to the city next year, you can already feel the momentum building. ⚽️ Six matches at Lumen Field, fan celebrations across the city, waterfront activations, and people coming in from all over the world to experience Seattle.

What I love most is that this is bigger than soccer. It’s one of those moments where the entire city gets to show off what makes it special… the neighborhoods, the energy, the waterfront, the restaurants, the people.

This guide is a great look at what’s coming and how Seattle is preparing for it all! ⬇️

The best real estate rooms have nothing to do with brokerage brands.

I was down in Arizona with REALM, and one of the things I appreciate most is how little anyone cares about logos or company names.

You’re just surrounded by incredibly high-level people from all different markets and backgrounds, all sharing ideas and perspectives on how to better serve clients.

That’s the real value of groups like this. Taking bits and pieces from conversations, strategies, and experiences across the country and bringing them back home to improve how we operate.

The best sushi on Mercer Island has no Instagram. Of course, it’s Grayson's favorite! You're welcome.

We celebrated Grayson’s birthday at Sushi Joa, and it was the perfect spot for a kid who loves sushi as much as he does! 🍣

One of the things I appreciate most about places like this is that they feel genuinely local. Family-owned, welcoming, consistently good, and the kind of restaurant where people remember you and take care of you. The sushi is incredibly fresh, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it’s one of those easy Mercer Island staples we always enjoy coming back to.

Good food, happy kids, and a birthday dinner with a pretty great crew. Hard to beat that. 😉

The Eastside continued to navigate market recalibration. The median residential sold price dropped 9% to $1,550,000, while active listings surged 60%. Even so, pending sales fell 15%, suggesting buyers were being highly selective despite having considerably more inventory to choose from. The gap between supply growth and transaction activity could mean more softening ahead.

April’s trends reinforce that we’re in a market that rewards patience and preparation on both sides of the transaction. For buyers, expanding inventory and moderating prices in several markets represent a genuine shift from the conditions of recent years, creating more room to be thoughtful and deliberate. For sellers, strategy has never mattered more as buyers grow more discerning.
