Specialties

Waterfront | Living on the water is an amazing privilege, and our region is blessed with dozens of bodies of water (Puget Sound, Lake Washington, Lake Union, Lake Sammamish, Pine Lake, Phantom Lake, Greenlake, Haller Lake, & More!). Waterfront property comes with unique questions & considerations that we can assist with.

HouseHacking | Buy a home with extra bedrooms or units, live in one, and rent the rest! Combine this with a low down payment (sometimes as low as $20k), and you have the core formula that helped founders Michael & Jess Haas achieve a $2 Million net worth by the time they turned 30!

DADU Development | There's a modern-day gold rush in Seattle ā€“ Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADUs). These backyard cottages can be built on nearly 70% of residential lots in Seattle. With 50%+ ROI on most DADU projects, our experienced builder, contractor, and lender referrals will help you every step of the way.

BRRRR | Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refinance, & Repeat! This strategy allows you to reuse & recycle the same cash to acquire multiple properties.

Short-Term Rentals (Airbnb) | With local travel surging and favorable loan products available to Airbnb investors (10% down, low-interest rates), investing in short-term rentals can generate higher cash flow than other types of real estate investments- particularly through unique stays like Glamping (Tiny Homes, Yurts, & Alternative Structures).

Long-Term Rentals | Traditional rentals offer consistent cash flow and inexpensive property management options. 

Direct Sales | In todayā€™s competitive real estate market, we pull every lever to get you the best deals. We actively match buyers & sellers directly, bringing you the best value while lowering the sales commission

What My Clients Have to Say:

From First-Time Buyer to Confident HouseHacker
"Truly the best experience one could ask for. I came into the Seattle market with minimal knowledge, looking to do a house hack. I had interviewed a number of RealtorsĀ®, but after speaking with Michael, there was no doubt I wanted him on my team. Just within our first 20-minute phone call, Michael provided such invaluable insights into the housing market that even through my rigorous online research and book reading, I couldnā€™t find. Heā€™s been extremely responsive and dedicated throughout the entire process, ensuring I was always on the same page. Michael went above and beyond to help me find a house hack that fit my needs and has continued to provide support even after the deal was done. I wouldnā€™t have been able to reach my goals without his guidance, and I look forward to working with him in the future."
- Ryan L.

Seamless Homebuying Experience
"Michael helped us buy our first home. He understood our needs well and worked hard to find homes that would satisfy our criteria. Michael has excellent listening skills. He always heard our perspectives before sharing his own viewpoint, offering suggestions and clarifications whenever possible. This made us feel understood and kept us on the same page. As it was our first time buying a home, Michael did a great job at educating us through every step of the process such as bidding, finding lenders, home inspections, etc. Thanks to his negotiation skills, we were able to get an offer accepted at $5K below the listing price which is unheard of in the hot Seattle market. Michael is incredibly resourceful, and his connections with contractors and inspectors helped make the process even smoother. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to buy a home or investment property."
- Abhishek P.

Successful HouseHacking
"Michael is extremely knowledgeable on house hacking investing strategies and he is passionate about what he does, which is one of the biggest reasons why I wanted to work with him. Michael has insight on things other agents may not have because they have never house hacked themselves. He answered my texts at crazy hours of the day, from 11 pm to 7 am, and thatā€™s when I knew I wanted him as my agent. As an experienced house hacker himself, Michael has a wealth of knowledge on everything from identifying properties with potential to estimating repairs, and he made sure we were making informed, objective decisions. Michaelā€™s approach is pressure-free, and he really helps you weigh out all the possibilities. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to house hack or invest in real estate."
