About Kelly McGinnis

For Kelly McGinnis, exceptional real estate is built on the details. Known for her remarkable memory and genuine attentiveness, Kelly has built a loyal client following by remembering the things that matter most, from a client’s dream home features to the names of their pets and favorite neighborhood restaurants. Her thoughtful approach, natural empathy, and calm, solutions-focused demeanor have made her one of the most trusted and easy-to-work-with brokers in the greater Seattle market.

With over a decade of experience, Kelly consistently ranks among the top 5% of brokers in Washington State. She is also a Certified Negotiation Expert, recognized for successfully navigating hundreds of competitive multiple-offer situations and securing winning outcomes for her clients. Her dedication to client service earned her the Five Star Rising Star Agent Award, highlighting her early impact in the industry.

A Pacific Northwest native, Kelly grew up in the North End of Tacoma and developed her love of real estate early, exploring open houses with her mother and imagining the lives that could unfold within each space. That curiosity evolved into a career dedicated to helping clients find not just a house, but a place where their lives can truly flourish.

Kelly specializes in Seattle and the Eastside and calls Northwest Seattle home. She is a graduate of Washington State University, where she studied politics and communications before working on President Obama’s campaign and the Presidential Inaugural Committee — experiences that strengthened her communication skills and strategic mindset before transitioning into real estate full time.

Outside of real estate, Kelly enjoys life in her Spanish-style home alongside her mini Australian Shepherd, Reuben. She spends her free time tending her vibrant garden, exploring Seattle’s newest restaurants, hiking the Pacific Northwest’s stunning trails, practicing yoga, and seeking out wellness travel experiences, always ready with a recommendation for the very best that Washington has to offer.
