From the first spark of possibility to the moment the keys change hands, Kia brings clarity, steady support, and genuine care to every real estate journey. He understands that buying or selling a home is more than a transaction — it’s a major life moment filled with excitement, questions, and big decisions. With a calm, thoughtful approach, he helps clients move through each step feeling informed, understood, and confident in the path ahead.

Kia holds a PhD in structural engineering, a background that gives him a rare level of technical understanding in the real estate world. He uses that expertise to help clients make sense of how homes are built, what details matter, and how to approach decisions with clarity. Kia combines his technical expertise with intelligent tools and market analysis to provide data-driven insight that helps clients make confident real estate decisions.

A lifelong dog lover, Kia feels most at home when he’s out on a walk with a four‑legged companion or meeting clients’ pets along the way. Outside of real estate, he stays active in the community and continues to teach Pilates, a practice that keeps him centered and connected to people. He enjoys exploring classic cars, playing piano, and spending time outdoors on the trails and waterfronts of the Pacific Northwest.

I approach real estate as a long-term relationship
