Your agent on the Eastside
The agent who actually picks up the phone.
I'm Talal. For eight years I've helped people buy, rent, and sell homes across Bellevue and the Eastside, and I still show up to every tour myself. When you call, you get me. Not a team inbox. Not a callback next Tuesday.

My story
I don't send you a lockbox code. I meet you at the door.
Most agents will tell you they're responsive. I'd rather show you what that looks like in practice.
Last year I personally toured more than 215 homes: not listings I glanced at online, but doors I unlocked, rooms I walked, questions I answered standing in the kitchen. That's how I work every year. If a place has a weird smell, a great light in the afternoon, or a landlord worth knowing, I know because I was there.
I sell homes as a Realtor with John L. Scott Real Estate, where I've been recognized among the company's top-producing agents. I'm also a consultant to SJA Property Management. I spent years on their leasing team before moving into this advisory role, so I still see the rental market from the inside. Buyers get an agent who knows what landlords and investors actually think. Renters get someone who's walked hundreds of rental doors. Owners tired of managing a property get a direct line to SJA's property managers.
“In my years on SJA's leasing team, I personally leased 211+ homes a year, four years running. Most agents never see that kind of volume. Every one of those leases taught me something about this market.”

How I can help
Whatever brings you to my door, I'll walk you through it.
Buying & Selling
Purchases, first homes, downsizing, and listings handled by a Realtor with John L. Scott Real Estate.
Investment & Development
Analysis and strategy for property that needs more than a standard listing.
Leasing
Residential leasing handled personally, plus a direct line to SJA Property Management for owners who want it fully managed.
Sick of managing your rental?
I'll connect you with SJA Property Management's top property managers, the team I used to lease alongside, so you get an owner experience I'd vouch for personally.
Serving Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Mercer Island, Newcastle, Sammamish, Bothell, Seattle.
Investment Property
I've walked 215+ homes a year. I know which ones are worth owning.
Buying rental property is a different game than buying a home to live in. That volume is what built my leasing track record, and it's the same read I bring to investment property: which streets hold value, which listings pull real rent demand, and which ones are quietly losing ground.
Keep more of what you make
I'm not a CPA, but I work with CPAs who specialize in rental-property tax strategy, so you keep more of what you earn.
Ownership without the second job
I can connect you with SJA Property Management's top property managers, so owning the property doesn't mean managing the property.
Built for the long game
When it's time to sell, I can help you line up a 1031 exchange so your gain rolls into the next property instead of a tax bill, compounding your investment tax-deferred.

Notes from people I've helped home.

Talal was incredible to work with. He was honest, responsive, and really took the time to understand my situation and help me move quickly. He even made himself available outside of normal hours to show me a place and helped get me locked into the right home fast. The whole process felt smooth and supported from start to finish. Couldn't recommend him more.
Talal has been great! He is honest, responsive, and follows through on everything. Over the years, he's helped me find two rental homes in very difficult markets. He went out of his way to arrange to show me houses and work with owners on lease terms that worked really well for me. And he's really nice and caring. I am so grateful to him for helping me find a home!
Talal was amazing! We really were in a tight spot with little time to see, finalise and move. He ensured he came twice (driving almost 2 hours) to just get us to see and be confident. He is so professional, very articulate and caring. I would recommend Talal to anyone who is looking to rent, buy or sell!
Talal is a great realtor who made the house hunting experience very simple and enjoyable. He was easy to reach and available to answer any questions we had.
