Designated Broker

Led by Sean Reynolds.

Sean is the Designated Broker and owner of Summit Properties NW, with more than thirty years in Puget Sound real estate. He has worked through every kind of market this region throws at you, and he still takes clients himself.

He also owns the appraisal firm.
Sean owns Reynolds & Kline Appraisal. That appraiser-grade view of value sits behind every price opinion Summit gives, and it is why we can offer free appraisal support that other brokerages simply cannot.
He hosts the conversation, too.
Sean hosts News For Reasonable People, a long-form show about the region and its housing market. It is the same plain-spoken approach you get across the desk.

What boutique means here.

Not a slogan. A set of choices about how we work.

One broker, start to keys.

You work with one experienced broker from first call to closing day. No lead queue, no handoff to an assistant, no getting lost in a franchise.

Straight answers, always.

Pricing, prep, forms, and the post-2024 buyer agreement rules, explained in plain English before you sign anything.

Proof you can check.

Our recent closings are published with cities, prices, and dates. We would rather show you real transactions than quote a trophy number.

Independent, on purpose.

A licensed Washington brokerage with one office on Bel Red Road. Not a franchise, no corporate playbook telling us how to treat you.

Experience and longevity.

Founded 2001. Three things that have not changed since.

Four decades of cycles.
Sean has worked through every kind of market this region throws at you, boom and correction both. He still takes clients himself.
Appraisal expertise, in house.
Ownership of Reynolds & Kline Appraisal means pricing opinions come with appraiser-grade backup, and free appraisal support is part of the service.
One office, one standard.
Everything runs from a single Bellevue office on Bel Red Road. No franchise, no corporate playbook.
