Deep Smarts Market Research

Matthew Gardner, a nationally know economist on our own Windermere Team, keeps us (and our clients) better informed of conditions and trends that affect our area. This helps you make educated decisions based on the current market environment.

Our TrendGraphix and Broker’s Edge software helps our Sellers determine a competitive price for their property. The analysis includes odds of selling and area buying patterns.

Remarkable Results

Windermere Real Estate has successfully represented more Sellers and more Buyers than any other firm in San Juan County over the past decade. There’s a reason we have been voted the most respected Real Estate Company in the Greater Puget Sound Area.

The main paved road is open to vehicles on publicly-announced dates, and both are open every day to hikers, bikers, and horse riders. It was jointly acquired by the San Juan Preservation Trust and the County Land Bank.
