Emily Cressey, Managing Broker
I’ve been in Seattle real estate since 2002—through two housing booms, the Great Recession, a global pandemic, and everything in between. I bring that hard-won perspective to every transaction.
As founder of HomePro Associates, I specialize in King and Snohomish County residential real estate—from first-time buyers in Everett to move-up sellers in Kirkland to investors building rental portfolios across the Eastside. My approach: straight talk, no pressure, real results.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How’s the Greater Seattle real estate market right now?
The Seattle-area market remains competitive, though conditions vary by city and neighborhood. Inventory has increased from pandemic-era lows, but well-priced homes in desirable areas still see strong interest. Check the Market Updates section for the latest data.
What’s the best time of year to sell a home in Seattle?
Spring (March–June) is traditionally the strongest selling season, with more buyers competing and homes often selling above list price. That said, a well-prepared home can sell well year-round in this market.
How much does it cost to sell a home in Seattle?
Typical seller costs include agent commissions, closing costs (~1–2% of sale price), staging, and any pre-listing repairs. We’ll provide a detailed net sheet before you list so there are no surprises at closing.
Do I need to be pre-approved before looking at homes?
In Seattle’s competitive market, yes—a full pre-approval (not just pre-qualification) is essential before making offers. Many listing agents won’t show occupied homes without one. We’ll connect you with trusted local lenders who can get you approved quickly.
Which Seattle neighborhoods are best for families?
It depends on your priorities—schools, walkability, commute, and budget all play a role. Popular family-friendly areas include Lake Forest Park, Kirkland, Bothell, Kenmore, and the Eastside. Explore our Neighborhood Guides for detailed breakdowns.
