Meet The Team

Why Choose Designed Realty

Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit more about us. You have a lot of options out there, and it can be a bit of a process just deciding who to work with.

 

Real estate brokers are all independent contractors, meaning every broker you meet is operating their own business. Because of this, brokers must spend time looking for new business in order to sustain their small business. A good portion of their time is spent on SALES, trying to generate business, rather than on servicing the clients they have.

 

We believe our brokers time is better spent with you. Sarah and I started this firm with the idea that we wanted to have full time brokers completely focused on their clients. We support our brokers behind the scenes with whatever they need, so they can do what they do best. Our brokers are true professionals in every sense of the word. You will be in good hands working with them. We encourage you to challenge any broker you engage with to answer your questions competently and to your satisfaction. We are confident you will find ours to be the best.

In 2017 my husband and I made the move from Indiana to the PNW having no idea what would come out of it. Fast forward to today, where we have planted roots and are obsessed with the outdoor space and exploring all it has to offer.

If you had asked me 5 years ago where I would see myself, I don't imagine I would have ever said "running a real estate brokerage", none the less said it with a smile. I found a career that not only am I good at, but I feel passionate about. Being in the Director of Operations role, I have the opportunity to work closely with our team and manage its development and growth. Working closely with like-minded individuals, and building a company so unique and so worthwhile is the most fulfilling position I could hold.

Kevin and his team were very professional from beginning to end. Keeping in contact and updating me were keys throughout the process. In addition, they were very helpful with upgrades and staging during the process of the sale of my house.

I grew up in Woodinville and have enjoyed watching the city grow over the years. My passion for helping people lead me to study biology at WWU. After earning a B.S. in biology, I moved to Southern California where I worked as a lab tech and eventually Lab Coordinator. I decided to move back home to the beautiful PNW to be closer to family. I've always had a deep interest in real estate and interior design so I'm thrilled to have transitioned my skillset from Lab Coordinator to Listing Coordinator. I'll use my strong attention to detail and creativity to coordinate contractors, stage, and market your home. Preparing to sell your home can be daunting. Let me take some of the weight off your shoulders by handling the details. I love connecting with clients and helping them get their homes market ready. Teaming up with our talented brokers to guide clients through the listing process is truly a joy! Outside of work, I enjoy playing basketball, spending time with family, and playing with my Chihuahua- Mastiff mix, Maggie.

I was born in Southern California and was able to learn from my father being a real estate investor. I found everything about it fascinating from the numbers to the power of money. In 2018, I graduated from Stanford University with a degree in Neuroscience. I followed that by leading marketing and partnerships with tech giants like Amazon and Facebook to further promote a product that would soon become acquired by Facebook.

While studying at Stanford, I was a TA in Neuroscience and had the opportunity to teach and grade a class of over 100 students. I find fulfillment in teaching and explaining high level concepts in ways that are easy to understand. Being a real estate investor myself, I want to provide as much information to you and recommendations based on my experience. Growing wealth through real estate is fun! I am constantly tracking market trends and predicting what is going to occur in this market.

Laura Henderson, JD

Real estate is in my blood. My family going back three generations have been brokers, owners, or investors in residential and commercial real estate in Washington, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. In my family, real estate buying, selling, and investing has always a topic of discussion around the dinner table. 

My real estate path began in the University of Washington Law School and then lead to my real estate, business, and contract law practice. I also became involved with real estate acquisition and investment early, buying my first single family residence at age 25 and building my own portfolio of residential investment properties over the years. Expanding into real estate brokerage has allowed me to pursue my passion of working with clients and helping to make their real estate goals and dreams a reality. 

I have a thorough understanding of contracts from my legal practice, and a bone-deep knowledge of the Northwest, having been born and raised here, and having lived here my whole life. I understand how to price your home, how to write a clean offer that will appeal to buyers or sellers, how to work with lenders and escrow, and I can negotiate and get your transaction closed with terms you can feel good about.  

My husband is a data scientist and his family has lived in Washington since before it became a state. Between the two of us we have lived in the University District, Tacoma, Ravenna, Lakewood, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Ballard, Queen Anne, and – back in the very old days – Unincorporated King County! There probably aren’t many streets in King, Snohomish, or Pierce County that we haven’t driven down at some point. 

Outside of work, I enjoy coaching my children’s baseball teams and elementary school cross country team, running the school gardening program, assisting with the school auction, teaching “adulting” classes to post-grads, baking mouth-watering desserts, traveling around our beautiful world, learning piano, practicing family photography, and dabbling in acrylic and watercolor painting.  

Thank you for your business and for your trust in me!

I'm a PNW native with over ten years of experience working with real estate investors in the local market. I've worked in construction, in both the residential and commercial space, worked for a property management tech start-up, and on the acquisitions arm for a real estate investment brokerage, finding both on and off-market deals for my clients.

I've done my fair share of personal investing as well, yet, regardless of how much I know, there's always more to learn. I like to keep a constant watch on the local market and I'm always on the hunt for good deals. I also enjoy getting to know my clients and helping them to create and deploy a strategy that gets them what they want for the right price!

I know that buying (or selling) a home can be an intimidating process, even for those with experience. A general anxiety over, "how to make the right decisions"  when, " you don't know what you don't know" can muddy the waters and cause people to make costly mistakes or miss golden opportunities. I pride myself in being able to demystify the real estate market for my clients, and helping to guide them towards their goal. So whether you're looking to invest, or find your dream home, I'm the right guy for the job.

Outside of work, I enjoy writing and playing music, watching a good game, or hanging with my pup Shiloh.

A Seattle transplant by way of the Midwest, Joe Sheldon instantly fell in love with the area's beauty and year-round access to outdoor activities when he arrived a decade ago. He feels fortunate he gets to spend his days helping others find their perfect homes here. Clients have said that when you're working with Joe you always have an ally throughout the process—100-percent in your corner.

Joe's path to real estate was by no means a straight line. In fact, before becoming a realtor, Joe had two distinctly different and varied careers, spending nine years in IT and another nine years in emergency services (six as a volunteer firefighter and the other three as an EMT). Both occupations proved deeply rewarding, and as an EMT Joe's deep empathy came into play.

In some respects though, life in real estate was inevitable from the start, as Joe's father was a home builder. This early exposure to the family business informs Joe's understanding of new construction and development, and his appreciation for the care and attention it takes to find the ideal home and deep understanding of the ins an outs of property sales.

Joe's diverse background has indeed shaped his success as a realtor. Honing his keen eye for detail and analytical mind, his IT experience also provided him a unique insight into advancing technologies in real estate and beyond. He stays on top of market trends at all levels and is well respected for his business acumen and knowledge. The backbone of his research informs his innate market intuition and his strong negotiation skills.

Ultimately, Joe takes the most pride in connecting with clients. He appreciates the deep commitment involved with the home buying process and works as a genuine advocate for his clients at every step in their journey.

As satisfying as his work in real estate is, Joe's true priority is dedicating himself to his two children and working as a volunteer with local organizations at every opportunity. There's little doubt that Joe will put the same passion into his dream house as he has done in finding that perfect place for his clients.

Outside of real estate, I'll be busy having fun with my wife and our two little girls. Skiing, backpacking, traveling, and eating delicious foods are always a great added bonuses to life.

Lisa Jech

Lisa was born and raised in the Portland, OR area, growing up as the daughter of a custom home builder—so you could say she's been swinging a hammer for as long as she can remember. Her childhood was spent surrounded by construction sites, lumber, and the smell of freshly built homes, which sparked a lifelong passion for real estate. When Lisa wasn't immersed in the building world, she was riding horses and participating in 4H, enjoying an active and hands-on upbringing.

Today, Lisa's passions revolve around spending time with family, boating, crocheting, and caring for her beloved fur babies—four cats and one dog. She also loves working in the yard and keeping busy around the house; sitting still is never her forte!

Real estate has always been close to Lisa's heart, thanks to her background. When she met her husband, a licensed broker, she decided to pursue her passion and join him in the real estate profession. Together, they've built a dynamic team that combines their unique skills to offer clients a personalized and strategic home buying and selling experience.

Lisa particularly enjoys working with first-time homebuyers—their excitement is contagious. She is committed to showing them as many homes as they need without ever pressuring them into a decision. For sellers, Lisa loves offering advice on how to declutter, stage, and get their home "show-ready" to achieve the best possible price.

The tagline of their team, "It's Your Move," reflects Lisa's approach to real estate: like a game of chess, it's all about strategy. Hard work, ethics, attention to detail, and honesty are values Lisa lives by, ensuring that every client's experience is smooth and transparent.

When she's not working, Lisa enjoys puttering around the house and yard, always finding something to keep her busy. While she speaks only English, her straightforward and genuine communication style is key to building strong connections with her clients.
