Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?

About
Wally Cruz began his real estate journey in 2006 when a growing property management firm invited him to relocate from the Great Northwest to Pensacola, Florida. There, he helped grow a small 40-property startup into a thriving company managing more than 200 properties. Beyond management, Wally led major development projects—ranging from full-scale renovations to custom new builds—gaining valuable insight into every stage of real estate investment and property improvement.

In 2010, Wally returned home to Washington to manage a portfolio of over 600 properties for another property management firm. His experience with property performance, market value, and client relations naturally led him to expand into residential sales. By 2013, he transitioned fully into real estate representation, helping both buyers and sellers achieve their goals. Specializing in investment acquisitions and off-market opportunities, Wally developed deep expertise in pricing, renovation budgeting, and market analysis—skills he now uses to help his clients make smart, confident moves.

Thinking about selling? Wally can help you understand your home’s true market value and create a plan to maximize your profit. Looking for your next home or investment? He’ll put his experience to work to find the best opportunities and negotiate the strongest deal for you. Wally’s approach is simple: relationships come first. His clients quickly become friends because he genuinely cares about their needs and success. He takes the time to listen, advises with honesty, and never rushes the process—always putting your best interests at the center of every decision.

When he’s not working with clients, Wally enjoys exploring the Northwest trails with his wife, two children, and their lively group of pets—three horses, two German Shepherds (Sunny and Noel), and a Ragdoll cat named Snowflake. He also loves spending time with extended family and cheering on everything from his kids’ youth sports teams to the local pros.

We got in touch with Wally through a friends real estate agent. We interviewed 3 agents. By the time that we had the interview with Wally we thought we had already made up our mind, but Wally really impressed us and changed our minds. During the process we asked many questions and he was very responsive, if he didn't know the answer he said so and found the answer and got back to us in a timely manner. He even answered questions that probably should have been for the finance person. He was also super patient. When we decided to move forward with him we weren't quite ready to look for a house and do the process just yet. We never felt pressured by Wally. When his portion of the job was complete he still reached out to see how we were doing. I would highly recommend Wally to any of my friends.

With the news of our 2nd child coming, we felt a sense of urgency to sell our little condo and find a new home that would accommodate our growing family. Wally was referred to us by a friend and we met with him with every intention to meet with a few other agents before hiring. After our first meeting with Wally, we knew he was our guy. He was just so easygoing and relatable, we felt like we were hiring a friend. He was direct and honest (and polite, of course) about what we needed to do to sell our home, and it sold in days. Then, when it came time to find a new home, we went in with open minds as far as location and style, and he made sure to not let us make a bad decision. We felt no rush from him, and in the end, he found us our dream home in the exact neighborhood we'd been eying for years.

We bought our first home from Wally and his wife and when we decided we needed to move again there was no hesitation before we called Wally up.

We never had a moment of feeling pushed, pressured, lied to or anything similar when working with Wally. We trusted his opinion on the homes we were looking to buy as well as the one we were trying to sell and felt he was always upfront and honest with us. He got us the home we wanted and got ours sold even in the midst of COVID and so many restrictions and safety concerns to work around.

Wally was easy to get a hold of and always quick to get back to us with any information we might need.

If we ever decide to leave this house (I doubt we ever will but who knows) we would call Wally again. Until then - high high recommend from the M family.

As first-time homeowners, Wally made an intimidating process painless and enjoyable. His expertise is impressive - from the local market, to the process and right down to homeowner basics and pointers. I can't imagine working with anyone else and would highly recommend Wally Cruz to anyone.

I met Wally Cruz unexpectedly before I decided to sell my house and was immediately taken by his sincerity and gently confident nature. My neighbor and I both asked for his business card immediately. He didn’t try to prove himself like a car-salesman but instead responded to questions about my house with thoughtful insights and assessments that were credible. He didn’t give me unrealistic responses just to get my business. Wally also went above and beyond by going with me on my apartment search so that I could move before listing my house. And he did so before I signed the contract to make him my listing agent. And he priced my house so perfectly that it sold in one day well over ask!! Wally is the best accidental meet I’ve ever had and I am so grateful for his kindness and smarts!????????.
