About

Real estate is more than buying and selling—it’s about strategy. I bring elite negotiation tactics, inspired by "Never Split the Difference," to secure the best outcomes for my clients. With deep knowledge of Seattle and Puget Sound, I help buyers, sellers, and investors make data-driven decisions with confidence.

Selling? My high-exposure marketing—including free staging, HD photography, and targeted campaigns—drives stronger offers. Buying? I ensure clarity, smart strategies, and a free home warranty for peace of mind.

Beyond the transaction, I provide fraud monitoring, home value tracking, and vetted contractor connections to support you long after closing.

With a background in IT, emergency services, and a lifelong connection to homebuilding, I bring precision, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to every client. Let’s talk strategy—your perfect home starts here.

Ratings & Reviews

Val and Justin

This team was great and made our homebuying experience very easy, I highly recommend them! Coleman especially was extremely helpful in explaining things we didn’t understand, always prompt in his responses, and kept us in the loop in a transparent way. He always went above and beyond helping us when we had side questions; he even helped us research some re-keying alternatives AFTER we had closed the deal and moved into our new home. Much appreciated!

I meet Coleman Johnson of Windermere Real Estate after a phone consultation with Joe Sheldon. It was in the midst of a strong seller market. I shared some of my frustrations and how my wife and I were coming up short in our efforts to find and purchase a home. We were outbid on every attempt, despite our pre-approved loan letter. We went through 3 realtors and 2 mortgage lenders and we’re going to take a break from our search efforts. Joe and Coleman shared how they could be of service. But I was skeptical and didn’t want to waste my time.

After a few house shows, I noticed Coleman was a good listener and incredibly detailed. He broadened our search criteria and advised us in ways our prior Realtors hadn’t considered. After each house showing, he always discussed the next steps and answered any questions we may have had. After discussing our game plan, I felt like we were finally moving forward and making informed decisions. We had purchased homes before, but I found his problem-solvi

Joe is helpful without being pushy, he was very accommodating and flexible with us (we were buying from out of state and had to do a lot of things online or over the phone). He gave us expert recommendations about the market, how much to bid (based on the market), good mortgage people to use, and kept us up to date during the escrow process. It felt like we were in expert hands, which we needed as we had never bought a house before and we wanted to feel like he was overseeing the process to make sure it was successful for us. He listened to what we wanted, took the time to explain a lot of things to us, and went above and beyond to make sure we found our dream residence.

Joe is also just a good guy - he feels trustworthy, he’s got a good sense of humor, and he put us at ease. He’s got a customer for life in me and my partner, so if we ever buy another property, Joe will be the person we go with.

Adam and Emi

Very impressive knowledge of homes and areas. He clued us in on what was important to consider in our house purchase and what was not. We felt he had our best interest in mind the entire time and was never pushing us to do something. The best aspect I felt he had in a competitive house buying market was how well he could predict how the bids were going to go on each house. It was impressive how consistently he was within a few thousand of the final price on so many houses. So when it came time to make a winning bid, I had all the confidence that we were making a smart purchase.

Holly and Matt

Joe is great to work with. We liked him so much we went back to him a second time to buy our next house. He also helped us list and sell our first house at the same time. He’s patient, knowledgeable and fought for what we wanted. I highly recommend him!
