Eben Zekarias

I’m Eben Zekarias, an Olympia-based real estate broker helping buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Tacoma, and the surrounding Puget Sound communities.

I don’t just help people buy and sell homes—I invest in them myself. Through my own projects and my company, Elevate Homes PNW, I’ve gained hands-on experience with renovations, property development, and the decisions that turn a property’s potential into something real. Combined with my background in finance and economics, that experience shapes how I help my clients evaluate their options.

A beautiful kitchen is worth noticing. So are the condition of the home, the work it might need, and whether the numbers make sense for your goals. My role is to help you see the whole picture—not talk you into a purchase.

A thoughtful approach to your next move

For buyers, that starts with understanding what matters to you beyond bedrooms and square footage. Your commute, your daily routine, your budget, and your future plans all belong in the conversation. I help you weigh those priorities, recognize potential concerns, and navigate the process from the first showing through inspections, negotiations, and closing.

For sellers, I believe your home deserves a strategy—not just a spot on the MLS. That means thoughtful pricing, practical guidance on preparation, professional presentation, and marketing that highlights what makes your property worth seeing. You should understand what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and how we’ll respond to buyer feedback.

For investors, I bring the perspective of someone who has put his own money into projects and worked through the challenges that come with them. I understand that finding a property is only the beginning; renovation scope, costs, timelines, and a clear exit plan matter just as much.

Straightforward advice. A real relationship.

My approach is simple: communicate clearly, be honest about the trade-offs, and keep your goals at the center of the process. Sometimes that means moving quickly. Sometimes it means negotiating harder—or walking away.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy playing basketball and spending time with my wife, Madison.

Whether you’re buying your first home, preparing to sell, or exploring an investment, I’d love to hear what you’re working toward.

Let’s talk about your next move.
