Browsing properties for sale in Pierce or Kitsap County?

Before you click "Request a tour" allow me to warn you...

That one click sends your information out to a whole lot of agents at once.

Suddenly your phone is lighting up with calls and texts from people you've never met and have no way to vet. Some are great. Some might be three weeks into the job.

Here's what having the right agent in your corner actually gets you: someone who knows which homes are overpriced before you waste your weekend, has access to properties that never even hit home search sites, and knows exactly how to write an offer that wins.

This is probably the biggest purchase of your life. You deserve someone with a proven track record you can vet.

If we haven't met, hi I'm Karissa Mallett Metz, a Gig Harbor local and real estate advisor. Send me the address you've been eyeing and let's have a conversation.

Buying a house is hard.

But having someone in your corner makes it manageable.

Despite the challenges, building wealth and leverage for yourself is worth it.

Whether your 1 year or 5 years off, reach out to chat through your options and come up with a plan.

My DMs are always open.

Someone thinks you and Gig Harbor would make a great match 👀

I am biased but waterfront sunrises/sunsets over the marina, easy access to Puget Sound, and the town’s small-town festivals and harbor-side charm make this place so special.

And if you’re planning a trip here soon, check out the downtown Gig Harbor waterfront, Millville Pizza Co., and all the shops along the way. These places will give you a feel for Gig Harbor’s true essence.

For a full breakdown of my local recs, comment “GUIDE” and I’ll DM you my free Gig Harbor 2025 Relocation Guide. I break down local neighborhoods, schools, and the best local spots.

⬇️ Why choosing the right agent matters more than you think

Everyone says buying or selling a home is stressful. And honestly, it can be—if your agent is doing the bare minimum.

✨ But here’s the difference:
✔️Professional photos instead of iPhone snapshots.
✔️A real marketing plan instead of a quick MLS upload.
✔️Honest advice instead of pressure to “just pick one.”
✔️Guidance from contract to close, not radio silence.

That’s what actually makes the process smoother (and yes, makes you look a whole lot happier). 😅

I’m Karissa Mallett Metz, a Gig Harbor local, real estate agent, and mom — sharing real advice, real life, and what it’s truly like to buy or sell a home here.

If you've ever thought about what life would be like in Gig Harbor, Washington – save this for later!

Here's what I always tell people relocating here:
→ Spend at least a weekend here to get a true feel for neighborhoods & lifestyle (I offer relocation tours if you’d like me to show you around).
→ Follow local Facebook groups or Nextdoor for unfiltered insight into what it’s really like to live here.
→ Don’t just look at today’s neighborhood vibe. Ask your agent about development plans, zoning changes, or infrastructure projects that could impact value.
→ Even if you don’t have kids, schools affect resale value and future demand.
→ Visit (or at least research) what the area feels like in different seasons.

Anyone else craving a spring/summer moment right about now? 👀

Gig Harbor in the warmer months just hits different. Longer days on the water, patios filling up with friends and pups, sunset walks along the harbor, boat traffic back in full swing, and that easy “what are we doing this weekend?” energy that somehow appears out of nowhere. Warm evenings, spontaneous plans, and life lived mostly outside.

Until then, I’ve gathered the best events, restaurants, and cozy winter go-tos to help pass the season right here in Gig Harbor.

I don’t know about you but this sunshine has me feeling some kind of way! Like I want to get out & explore! ☀️🌇

Gig Harbor is cozy, quiet, and very sleepy this time of year and that’s part of the charm! Sometimes you’ve got to zoom out to keep life fun. Swipe for one Washington activity each month, mixing local favorites with nearby spots worth the drive.

Tell me if I nailed your birth month’s vibe. ✨

If I had a nickel for every time I've heard: "I'll just wait until prices drop" 👀

Let’s be honest, no one can predict the market (trust me, I’ve tried).

That’s why you’ll never find me advising clients to time it. Instead, we get clear on their numbers, their comfort level, and what actually makes sense for their life.

That clarity is what turns hesitation into confident decisions.

When you're ready, send me a DM and I’d love to help you run your numbers.
