Relocating to Seattle?
You deserve an agent who has walked in your shoes.

When you are relocating to Seattle, you can count on my experience and empathy. As a location settlement specialist, I have assisted relocation management companies. Putting myself in your shoes comes naturally. I will not only help you with renting or buying a home in the Seattle area but assist you in all aspects of getting settled.
We will tour neighborhoods with an eye on public transport, educational institutions, healthcare services, entertainment, and shopping. I know what it means to make a new home in an unfamiliar setting. I lived and worked in four countries. Before relocating to Seattle myself, I’ve lived in Chicago, Cleveland, New York City, and in North Carolina. (Ich spreche auch Deutsch.)
From the Ocean to the Mountains…
One of my most pleasant tasks is to show off Seattle to my visiting friends and clients. Few cities in the United States offer such a variety of scenery and views. The mountain views are dominated in the east by big volcanic giants such as Mount Rainier and Mount Baker. In the west, one of the most popular lookouts is Hurricane Ridge located near the Olympic National Park.
If you prefer water to mountains you have the choice of lakes and oceans. The Seattle fleet of ferries is part of the largest ferry system in the United States. For boating enthusiasts, the bodies of water surrounding and dissecting the Seattle area, make this a nautical paradise. Lake Washington separates Seattle into two parts – the city of Seattle and what is called the Eastside. West of Seattle is the Puget Sound which is defined as an isthmus.

Made in Seattle
One look at the map of the United States explains why the people of the Pacific Northwest had to be self-reliant. This explains why so many corporations were founded in Seattle. Take retail. Nordstrom started as a shoe store in 1901 before becoming a national icon of quality and service. Think aerospace and the first name that comes to mind is Boeing.
Today, the Seattle landscape blossoms with locally founded companies from A to Z, from Amazon to Zillow with Costco, Microsoft, REI, Starbucks and others in between. The growth of these companies explains why so many people are relocating to Seattle.

What a German Client had to say.
Es gibt im Leben immer wieder grosse Ereignisse. Eines davon ist, sich Eigentum zu erwerben. Da es meist um viel Geld geht und geringste Fehler unverzeihlich sind, ist der Erwerb von Eigentum mit viel Vorsicht und Aufmerksamkeit verbunden.
Wenn Europäer oder Deutsche so etwas vor haben, dann wünscht man sich am liebsten absolute Sicherheit und Vertrauen. Verbunden mit dem Immobiliengeschäft ist das für viele Intressenten kaum vorstellbar. Darüberhinaus, dann auch noch nicht in der Muttersprache verhandeln, macht vieles doppelt schwer.
Ich hatte das Glück, genau die Person zu finden, in der ich alles vereint vorfand, obwohl ich nicht wusste wie es ausgeht. Die Souveränität, das Gespür und die Professionalität, verbunden mit Hingabe, Zuverlässigkeit und vieles mehr, findet man nur bei Gerhard Ade.
