Real Estate

Your Journey, My Priority.

If this is the first page you’ve landed on, my name is Michael Lee. Across my site, you’ll see that I’m someone who enjoys exploring different avenues, but here’s the most important thing you need to know here, which is that I am a licensed Washington real estate agent. Having lived in more than eight cities/towns across the state, I’d like to say that I know the Pacific Northwest well and would love to share what each neighborhood has to offer as we search for one of the most meaningful places in life - your home!

With a background as a healthcare professional (i.e., pharmacist), I’ve always focused on putting people first, tailoring solutions to ensure unique needs are met. And I bring that same mindset to real estate, prioritizing your best interests, offering authenticity, and ensuring your journey is guided with personalized attention every step of the way.

I’m excited to help you explore your options and find the home that’s right for you. Let’s start this journey together!

We are first time homeowners thanks to Michael. Michael is extremely prompt, professional, deeply knowledgeable, and he cares about his clients. He took into account that this would be an educational process for us, and made sure to check-in throughout the process to make sure we were understanding the concepts. From home search to negotiation and closing, he was always careful, thoughtful, and transparent. We spent months making our decision, and felt we made the right choice given all of the options we'd accumulated during our search. Now that we've moved in, we're deeply happy and confident in our choice. Can't thank Michael enough for helping usher in this new phase of our lives!
Alex & Michelle
Best experience working with Michael. He was always available to answer questions any time of day. He informed me about each process every step of the way. I did not know anything about the home buying process but he was able to assist me and breakdown each step. I learned a lot about the entire process. Michael was very professional, respectful, and personable. He always made sure we were comfortable and just overall nothing bad I can say. Highly recommend. I have recommended him to all my close ones and family.
Vinh & Caroline
Michael did an amazing job selling our house. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. He priced it right, handled everything smoothly, and kept us in the loop the entire time to get us the price we wanted. Highly recommend working with him!

Michael and I worked together for many months trying to find the right fit for my wife and I. We were both novices when it came to home buying experience but Michael made it a worthwhile adventure. He spent time coaching us on the ins and outs of various aspects of home hunting. He had a plan for us from the start in terms of what homes to start with and what options to consider when looking, but also let us explore some of our own curiosities. We learned along the way and Michael helped guide us to find a home we could call our own. There was no pressure, and if he felt like we were confused or lacked interest he knew it immediately and asked for our opinion, then made sure to reference that when it came to exploring more options. He knew how to guide us through the closing process and never once was absent for our closing process. We appreciated having him as our agent and we knew we could trust him to make sure we always had our best interests in mind.

I had a great experience working with Michael and would definitely recommend him. He was knowledgeable, thorough, and clearly had my best interests in mind throughout the entire process, always thinking through different angles to make sure I was getting a good deal. I was buying a new build, which was unfamiliar territory for me, and it was really reassuring that Michael had experience with that. He was always easy to reach and quick to respond, and one thing that really stood out was how patient he was with my questions. He had a way of explaining things that actually made sense and took every question seriously. And honestly, the fact that he still checks in even after the sale was done says a lot. Really happy I worked with him!
Hazel Wong-Godfrey
We had an amazing experience working with Michael as first-time homebuyers. He made the entire process feel so easy and stress-free, which was something we truly appreciated since everything was so new to us. He was extremely informative and always took the time to explain each step and answer all of our questions thoroughly. Michael was also incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and supportive throughout the entire journey. He always made us feel like our needs and concerns mattered, and his guidance gave us so much confidence during such an important decision. From start to finish, he was patient, helpful, and genuinely cared about making sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home! Thank you Michael for making this process so seamless!

My husband and I worked with Michael to purchase our first home. He was very knowledgeable and helped us navigate the process with confidence and ease. We were a bit nervous as first time home-buyers but Michael gave us a very detailed walkthrough of the process and was available for questions every step of the way! He's very responsive to questions and very knowledgeable about the market. He helped us secure our ideal home and negotiated us a great deal. We would definitely work with Michael again!
Angela Nguyen
Michael has been the best realtor I've worked with. He made the entire process feel smooth and manageable from beginning to end, which is not something you can say about most home sales. He really understood how to price the home strategically so it would be competitive in the market, and it paid off. We ended up selling for even more than I was hoping for, which was a great outcome. I also really appreciated how responsive and prompt he was throughout the entire process. Any time I had a question or needed guidance, he was quick to help. He has a great eye for detail and gave thoughtful recommendations on updates and small improvements before listing, which definitely made a difference. Overall, Michael made what could have been a stressful experience feel easy and well handled. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes you different from other agents?
With a background as a pharmacist and consultant, I've spent my career putting people first and solving their complex problems. As your agent I take that same approach and utilize those skillsets, keeping your goals at the center, being transparent throughout, and making sure you are supported every step of the way feeling confident in your real estate journey.
How do I know how much I can afford?
The best first step is to connect with a trusted lender who can review your financial situation and provide a pre-approval. This gives you a clear idea of your budget and what monthly payments might look like. I can also help connect you with reputable local lenders and walk you through what to expect, so when we start looking for homes, we're focused on options that fit comfortably within your goals and finances.
Why did you get into real estate?

I’ve always been drawn to helping others make informed decisions that impact their well-being, which is part of what led me to become a healthcare professional in the first place. Buying a home is one of the biggest milestones and financial decisions many of us will ever make. When I first bought my home, I realized how much I didn’t know, from the steps I could’ve taken to be better informed to how I could’ve negotiated a better deal to balance a house payment all while managing student loans.

That experience inspired me to enter real estate, especially to help fellow healthcare professionals navigate the process with clarity and confidence. I want to help others find balance between homeownership and financial obligations and make decisions that truly fit their goals. Beyond finding the right home, I also see real estate as a powerful way to build stability and generational wealth, something I’m deeply passionate in helping others achieve.

What should I expect during the home buying/selling process?
Whether you're buying or selling, the process can feel complex, but my goal is to make it clear and manageable. For buyers, we'll start with pre-approval, then explore homes, make offers, and navigate inspections and closing. For sellers, we'll focus on preparing your home, marketing it effectively, reviewing offers, and guiding you through negotiations to closing. At every step, I will provide you guidance, data-driven insights, and personalized support so you know what's coming and feel confident throughout the journey.
What's your real estate philosophy?
My philosophy is simple, real estate is about people first, not properties. I believe every decision should be guided by understanding your goals, values, and long-term vision. Whether it's buying your first home or investing for the future, I want to make sure that the process is transparent, and personally meaningful. For me, success isn't just closing the deal, it's helping you make confident choices to support your life and financial goals.
Where can I learn more about you?
You’re already in the right place! You can explore my personal webpage to learn more about my background. You can also check out my blog for personal reflections and insights on topics that matter to me to get a sense of who I am. And of course, I’m always happy to connect directly, feel free to reach out anytime to start a conversation!
How do agent commissions work?
In most transactions, the seller agrees to pay a commission that's shared between the listing (seller's) agent and the buyer's agent. However, with recent industry changes, commission terms can vary. For buyers, we'll review what's offered by the seller and discuss any differences up front so there are no surprises. For sellers, I'll walk you through how commissions are structured and ensure you understand exactly what's included in the service. My goal is to keep the process transparent so you know how every dollar works for you.
If I have other questions how do I reach you?
I’m always happy to chat! You can reach me directly through the contact form on this site, email me at michael.a20.lee@gmail.com, or give me a call at 360-477-5525. Whether it’s a quick question or a detailed conversation about your real estate goals, I’m here to help.
