Hello, I’m Sara Zhu, a bilingual real estate professional serving the Seattle and Eastside markets.

With over eight years of experience as a licensed CPA before launching my real estate career since 2016, I bring a strong analytical mindset, attention to detail, and a high level of professionalism to every transaction. I am passionate about helping buyers and sellers navigate one of life’s biggest decisions with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.

Fluent in English and Mandarin, I work with a diverse client base and understand the importance of clear communication in today’s international market. My business is built largely through referrals and repeat clients, reflecting the trust, care, and long-term relationships I value deeply.

I am committed to providing thoughtful guidance, strong negotiation, and personalized service throughout every step of the process — always with my clients’ best interests in mind.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my family. I also love coffee, fashion, painting, piano and tennis.
