Welcome to the Pacific Northwest.

Home of the Seahawks, the Space Needle, and the best coffee you'll ever drink in the rain.

I'm Virginia Otter, and I help people find their place in it.

Where would you like to start?

Buying, selling, or just getting your bearings. Pick whatever fits today. There's no wrong door.

Buying or selling a home

First home, next home, or a piece of land to build on. I'll walk you through it at your pace and tell you what I actually think.

Want real numbers for your place? I'll pull the recent sales on your street myself. No instant guess from a computer.

New to all this? Start with my plain-English guides, from your first offer to buying land.

Seattle born and raised.

I've spent twelve years helping people here buy and sell. First-time buyers, land buyers, and families working through downsizing and estate sales.

I'm a broker with John L. Scott Metro Realty, and I'd rather give you straight answers than a sales pitch. If now isn't the time, that's fine too.

I work in Everett, Lynnwood, Edmonds, Bothell, Seattle, Renton, Kent and Auburn.

What my clients say

“She never pressured me, but instead, gave me honest feedback and multiple scenarios with possible outcomes. The most important thing I saw in working with her is that I always felt like we were working together to achieve the same goal.”

House buyer, Bothell, 2023

“As a first time home buyer, I had very little knowledge about the whole process. She helped me all the way from the start to finish and was always available to answer my questions.”

First-time buyer, Sammamish, 2021

“She had our house cleaned and staged in a matter of days and we got a full price offer on day 1 of listing in December.”

House seller, Kenmore, 2019

“We purchased AND sold with Virginia, and both times was a great experience. She's definitely the PROactive type and doesn't wait for things to happen.”

Buyer and seller, Lynnwood, 2021

“Her long experience in real estate gives her a knowledge base that quickly ferrets out problems with homes so a buyer can make an educated offer.”

Condo buyer, Edmonds, 2024

“She explained each step of the way in selling my condo and kept me in the loop of what would happen next.”

Condo seller, Mukilteo, 2023
