About Luma

A real estate company built by people who build.

Luma is a Seattle-based, locally owned and operated real estate company. We started it because we kept seeing the same thing: people buying homes without anyone at the table who truly understood how houses are built.

A Luma construction project in Seattle

Our story

From building homes to helping people find them.

Our team has spent years in Seattle’s residential construction and development world — designing homes, working through permits with the City, managing crews and trades, and building new houses and backyard cottages from the ground up.

That work taught us how a house really goes together: what’s easy to change and what isn’t, which problems are cosmetic and which are expensive, and what it actually takes to turn an idea into a finished space.

Luma brings that knowledge to buyers and sellers. We help clients understand what a property is today and what it could become — and because we keep our design and construction services for the people we represent, we can stay with them long after closing.

[Optional: add a sentence about when and why Luma was founded, and what the name means to you.]

What we value

How we work with clients.

  • Practical expertise

    We’ve designed, permitted, and built homes. That experience shapes how we advise clients — in plain language, without guesswork.

  • Personal relationships

    You’ll work directly with the people who own and run Luma, not a rotating cast of strangers.

  • Quality construction

    We know what good work looks like, and we hold ourselves to it on every project we take on.

  • Transparency

    Honest advice about condition, cost, and timing — including when the answer is “don’t.”

  • Long-term support

    The relationship doesn’t end at closing. We want to be the first call for whatever the house needs next.

  • Local knowledge

    We live and work in Seattle. We know the neighborhoods, the housing stock, and how the City works.

Our team

Brokers, designers, and builders — working as one.

Every Luma client works with a small team that talks to each other. Your broker can pull in a designer to look at a floor plan, or a builder to walk a foundation, before you ever make an offer.

Licensed brokers representing buyers and sellers across Seattle and surrounding communities — with clients’ long-term plans in mind, not just the transaction.

Residential designers and permit specialists who have taken more than a hundred Seattle homes and ADUs from idea to issued permit.

Builders and project managers who handle renovations, additions, and repairs for Luma clients — with the same care we’d want in our own homes.

We’re growing. Luma brokers can offer their clients design, permitting, and construction support that other brokerages can’t — backed by a team that knows Seattle houses inside and out.

Real estate, design, and building — under one roof, for the people we represent.
