Hi - I’m Mika Praven! As a full-time Realtor proudly serving West Seattle and South King County, I bring something unique to the table: 27 years of experience as an educator. While I may be new to real estate, my background has instilled in me the skills that matter most—clear communication, thoughtful preparation, and a deep commitment to the people I work with.
What does that mean for you? It means I bring my full attention, energy, and care to every client. You and your referrals will never be just another transaction. I’m backed by a highly experienced team of mentor agents who support me—and you—at every step, ensuring no detail gets overlooked.
My goal is to make sure your real estate journey is smooth, successful, and rewarding. I’m not just working for your current transaction—I’m working to earn your trust and future referrals, which I hope will become the heart of my business.
I grew up in West Seattle, where I began my career, before settling in Des Moines, where I’ve lived for the past 21 years. I share life with my husband, our two kids, and our sweet dog, Holly. I love a good card game, a glass of wine, working in the yard, or relaxing with a movie night. I’m also a big sports fan—always cheering on my kids’ teams, the Seahawks, and the U of A Wildcats!
I know that finding or selling a home can feel overwhelming. My mission is to make the process as smooth and empowering as possible by offering honest advice and guidance you can trust throughout the journey. If you or someone you know is thinking about making a move, I’d be honored to help and will treat you or your referral with the same care I’d give my own family!
