Bruce W McKinnon MBA

Welcome to my profile

I have been a "Full Service" Realtor" for Windermere Real Estate in the Puget Sound area northwest of Seattle since 1999 after retiring from my first life in healthcare administration.

SPECIALTY

Homes, Condominiums & Town Homes and Land

(1) Puget Sound View & waterfront Properties
(2) Luxury estates (starting at $500,000)

Because real estate is a "neighborhood specific" business, I limit my practice to the following South Snohomish County Cities

(1) Everett
(2) Mukilteo (office)
(3) Edmonds (the Bowel)
(4) Lynnwood (Norma Beach & Meadowdale)
(5) Woodway

The above communities are the most popular northwest Puget Sound suburbs and are located just 25 to 40 minutes (commute) north of downtown Seattle, west of Interstate 5.

WINDERMERE literally dominates Puget Sound real estate (47% market share -- closest competitors are at 9%). The Windermere "Mukilteo office" is situated in the up-scale community of Mukilteo (population 22,000) located in what is believed to be the best school district west of Interstate 5 (enhances re-sale value).

Muk-il-t-eo is a Native American name meaning "good camping ground." The city was ranked 23rd by Sperling's "Best Places" as a top affordable US suburb (Business Week 2006) and by Money Magazine (2007 and 2009) as one of the BEST places to live (69th and 10th respectively).
