Michael Smythies

Real estate, for me, has always been about people, not just properties. Every home represents a story, a chapter in someone’s life, and it’s an incredible privilege to help my clients turn the page with confidence. I understand how personal this process is, how much is at stake both financially and emotionally, and that perspective shapes everything I do.

My approach is rooted in service, strategy, and sincerity. I take the time to understand your goals, your lifestyle, and your vision for what’s next. Whether you’re selling a home filled with memories or searching for a place to build new ones, I want you to feel supported and empowered every step of the way.

For sellers, that means presenting your home with care - beautiful marketing, thoughtful storytelling, and strong negotiation to achieve the highest price and cleanest terms. For buyers, it means being both patient and assertive, helping you find the right fit and ensuring no opportunity is missed. In every transaction, I act as your consultant, negotiator, and project manager, so you can focus on what matters most.

In 2021, I joined Rise Group | Compass, a team built on trust, collaboration, and over 25 years of experience in the greater Seattle area. Together, we’ve created a process that blends expertise with genuine connection because buying or selling a home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. My goal is simple: to make your real estate journey not just successful, but deeply rewarding.
