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

Tony and Sarah

Buying our first house with Joe Sheldon was a great experience! We knew so little about the process (and the locale) when we started and Joe made us feel comfortable about asking ALL THE QUESTIONS!

He was so quick to get back to us, went above and beyond with our more obscure queries (for example, when we had a question about the geology of the area), and was a genuine pleasure to work with.

We figured our home search would take months, but after going over a detailed map of the surrounding areas, we were able to home in on a great neighborhood and, miraculously, we found our dream of a house within days! It was a whirlwind, but he made sure we understood the entire process and were in control of the outcome.

Joe and his Coordination Specialist, Antoinette, made sure we were informed and felt comfortable, every step of the way. They were tremendous to work with. And Bonus—Being new to the area, we didn’t know who to look to for loans, home inspections, etc. and everyone Joe recommen

Kyle and Vanessa

Joe was highly recommended by a friend and I have to say he was absolutely great to work with. His knowledge and expertise are excellent.

Being first time homeowners is a huge investment and you want someone who always has your best interest first and foremost which Joe provided that for us completely.

We are so grateful in all the work he did to make our dreams come true. We cannot thank him enough.

Jung and Hannah

Joe helped demystify the Seattle housing market and purchase process for us. He was responsive, flexible, and detail oriented. He was also incredibly patient as we asked a million questions. He made the process really pleasant and even fun. Highly recommended!
