About Matthew Konsmo — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about working with Matthew Konsmo, Western Washington real estate agent
Matthew Konsmo is a Western Washington real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Danforth who brings two professional backgrounds to every transaction that most agents simply don’t have — Fortune 500 advertising and residential construction. His advertising career, which included work with major clients across Seattle, New York, and Los Angeles, directly informs how he positions and markets properties for sellers. His construction background gives buyers a practical edge when evaluating what a home is worth, what it will cost to improve, and what condition issues actually matter versus what is cosmetic.
That combination — strategic marketing sophistication and genuine construction expertise — means clients get more than a transaction facilitator. They get an advocate who can evaluate a property’s true condition, market it with precision, and guide them through the full process with a depth of knowledge that goes well beyond standard real estate practice. Contact Matthew to discuss your real estate goals and how his background translates into real outcomes for buyers and sellers.
Matthew serves buyers and sellers across Western Washington with a primary focus on the greater Eastside, north sound, and Seattle markets. His core service areas include Kirkland, Woodinville, Bellevue, Redmond, Bothell, Edmonds, and Seattle neighborhoods including Laurelhurst, Madison Park, Ballard, Fremont, Queen Anne, and West Seattle.
Matthew also serves buyers and sellers in the I-90 corridor communities including Issaquah, Sammamish, North Bend, and Snoqualmie Ridge, the Snoqualmie Valley communities of Duvall, Carnation, and Fall City, the premium Lake Washington enclaves of Mercer Island, Medina, Clyde Hill, Yarrow Point, and Hunts Point, and the north sound market including Arlington and Camano Island.
Matthew Konsmo is a licensed real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Danforth — one of the Pacific Northwest’s most established and respected real estate brokerages. The Coldwell Banker Danforth office is located at 2111 N Northgate Way, Seattle, WA 98133. Coldwell Banker is one of the most recognized real estate brands in the country, providing Matthew’s clients with access to a national referral network, robust marketing platforms, and transaction support resources that independent agents and smaller brokerages typically cannot match.
Working with an agent at an established brokerage like Coldwell Banker Danforth also provides clients with an additional layer of professionalism, compliance oversight, and accountability — factors that matter particularly in high-stakes transactions involving Western Washington’s competitive and often complex real estate market.
Matthew’s career in Fortune 500 advertising — with clients across Seattle, New York, and Los Angeles — gives him a fundamentally different approach to property marketing than agents without that background. Most real estate marketing follows a formula: MLS listing, a few photos, a yard sign. Matthew approaches a property listing the way a brand manager approaches a product launch — with strategic positioning, targeted messaging, and presentation designed to reach the right buyers and generate the strongest possible response.
This means professional-quality visual assets, a clear and compelling property narrative that speaks to the lifestyle the home enables rather than just its features, and targeted digital marketing across the channels where today’s buyers actually spend their time. In a market where the difference between one offer and five offers often comes down to how a property is presented and who sees it, Matthew’s advertising background is a direct competitive advantage for the sellers he represents.
Most real estate agents can tell you whether a home shows well. Matthew can tell you whether it’s built well — and what it will actually cost to fix, update, or improve what you’re looking at. His residential construction background means he walks through properties with a trained eye for structural condition, mechanical systems, construction quality, and deferred maintenance in a way that most agents simply can’t replicate.
This matters enormously in Western Washington’s diverse housing market, where buyers regularly encounter properties ranging from century-old craftsman homes with original systems to 1970s ramblers with deferred maintenance to new construction with varying build quality. Understanding the difference between a cosmetic issue and a material defect — and being able to estimate what addressing each will cost — helps buyers make genuinely informed purchase decisions rather than discovering expensive surprises after closing. For buyers considering renovation or value-add properties, Matthew’s construction knowledge is particularly valuable in evaluating what a project will actually involve.
Yes — Matthew provides full-service representation for both buyers and sellers across Western Washington. For buyers, that means guiding you through market analysis, neighborhood selection, offer strategy, negotiation, inspection, and the full NWMLS purchase and sale process from pre-approval to closing. For sellers, it means comprehensive property preparation guidance, professional marketing and listing strategy, negotiation representation, and transaction management through to a successful close.
Matthew also works with clients across a wide range of transaction types — first-time buyers entering the market, move-up buyers navigating the complexity of buying and selling simultaneously, investors evaluating income property or value-add opportunities, and sellers making transitions due to relocation, downsizing, or estate circumstances. Whatever your situation, the goal is the same: a well-executed transaction that serves your specific goals. Reach out to discuss your situation and how Matthew can help.
Working with Matthew means working with an agent who treats your transaction with the same strategic attention he brought to Fortune 500 advertising campaigns — which is to say, with genuine care about outcomes rather than just process. You can expect clear, direct communication about what the market is telling you, honest assessments of properties and pricing rather than answers calibrated to what you want to hear, and an agent who is genuinely invested in helping you make the best possible decision for your situation.
You can also expect a depth of local market knowledge across Western Washington that comes from actively working across multiple markets simultaneously — from the premium Lake Washington enclaves to the Snoqualmie Valley rural corridor to Seattle’s diverse neighborhoods. Matthew knows what drives value at the neighborhood level, which matters enormously in a region where two properties two miles apart can behave completely differently in the market. From your first conversation through closing day, the goal is a result you’re genuinely satisfied with — not just a transaction that closes.
The easiest ways to reach Matthew are by phone or email. You can call or text 425-463-8243 or email matthewkonsmo@gmail.com directly. You can also reach out through the contact form on this website and Matthew will follow up promptly.
