PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Matthew L. Koenig
www.matthewlkoenig.com
My name is Matthew Koenig, and throughout my life I have worked first-hand in the guts of a house, and learned first-hand the risks and rewards of purchasing Real Estate.
When I was young, I watched my father buy and sell across the Real Estate spectrum: a rambler in the suburbs; a farm-house on 100 acres; a fairytale Tudor in a swanky neighborhood; a mountain home in Colorado. During my summers off in high school and college, Dad put me to work on projects. I continued this hands-on work as an adult, joining the crew of a high-end Seattle builder, and remodeling my own homes in Ballard and Magnolia.
With the “how it’s done” knowledge behind me, I discovered my industry strengths lie in communicating, analyzing and negotiating homes.
I have a profound ability to find “the story” in your house. People are not motivated to purchase four walls and a roof. They are motivated to enter into a story where a home creates a backdrop for life. My skill is discerning the best story your house can tell. Everything about your house—location, condition, placement on the lot—contributes to this story. Everyone on my team, from stagers to photographers, is coached to produce this story with perfection. The results are extremely successful for my sellers—both personally and financially.
I live in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle with my wife Sara and two children—Madeleine (age 13) and Maximilian (age 9). I am an active leader in our children’s school and church, an avid Seahawks fan, a lover of good food, and a devotee of the 1930’s art nouveau movement in buildings and homes.
I very much look forward to working with you and discovering the success we’ll experience together!
