Our Team
As members of the Kidder Mathews Investment Group, we are located in the firm’s Seattle office. We are a team of experienced investment brokers who specialize in the purchase and sale of leased investment properties.
Every investor has a story
We feel privileged to contribute to the remarkable success stories of investors in our line of work. Here are a few of the stories that we have heard from our clients.
- A developer built a retail center and managed her family property for nearly four decades, raising the property value from $1 million to over $7 million.
- An immigrant arrived in the United States with just $40 in his pocket. Over three decades, he advanced from working the night shift at a convenience store to owning that store and over a dozen others.
- A fisherman bought all the land around a future freeway interchange. Over his 50-year career, he accumulated holdings exceeding $100 million as the area developed.
All of these success stories share a common factor— time. Real estate isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. Instead, it's a get-rich-slowly endeavor. Patient investors benefit from compounding over time.
Time in the market is more important than timing the market
We feel fortunate to have been part of these stories. Having operated in this business for nearly two decades, we've seen the effects of compounding over time. Like investing, time has allowed us to refine our skills and compound our results. Over the years, we've developed a systems-driven approach, paying meticulous attention to every detail. Commercial real estate transactions are complex, and each deal is unique. Our role is to help investors build wealth.
We are hands-on; working diligently to deliver value to our clients. We roll up our sleeves and make things happen. Whether you're an owner aiming to sell and maximize your asset's value or a buyer in search of expert guidance, our team assures you extensive market knowledge, a proven track record, and an unparalleled level of service.
We invite you to join us. Let's create the next great story together.
Sincerely,
Let's work together

We gave Erik Swanson and Mike King a challenging assignment and they delivered. They have a great understanding of the retail investment market in the Puget Sound. Through their marketing efforts, they produced multiple offers and closed the sale in a short amount of time at our full asking price. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell a retail center.
I've worked with Mike and Erik for over a decade and have completed over a dozen transactions with them. They treat each transaction like it is their own and work hard to make sure nothing is missed. I highly recommend working with them.
I have had the opportunity to work with Erik and Mike on a number of purchases. They are hands on brokers that work diligently for their clients. They are sure to make your next commercial transaction a success.
Erik & Mike look out for their clients. They helped me avoid several pitfalls on a complex deal. Without their help the sale would have never happened.
Our experience listing and selling our property with Erik and Mike was nothing less than fantastic. From the first time we met all the way to closing, we felt they had everything covered. They worked hard to keep the deal moving forward and it resulted in a better than expected outcome. We would certainly recommend Erik and Mike to anyone.
