Lara Weasea
Broker | Realtor® | Certified Negotiation Expert®
I am a Northwest native and second-generation real estate broker who grew up surrounded by real estate. My first job was working as a receptionist for my Father’s John L. Scott real estate office. It made a lasting impression on me to see people pursue home ownership and drive their financial futures via informed property investments and smart financial decisions.
In today’s competitive housing market, it is critical to bring strategy, creativity, and outside-the-box thinking. In addition to my experience in real estate, I have an art and design professional background that lends itself to seeing unique opportunities and allows me to better evaluate potential homes for buyers and plan beautiful staging and marketing with a creative critical eye for sellers. As a Certified Negotiation Expert®, I am skilled at negotiating and winning on behalf of my buyers and sellers, dedicating the time, care, and passion necessary for a successful outcome. Their success is my success.
My husband is a mortgage lender, which offers invaluable education, serves as an additional resource for my clients, and makes us a formidable team when working together for shared clients. I’m also backed by seven-day-a-week professional office staff and have a strong industry network of top-producing collegial peers; we provide a sounding board for each other on market scenarios, professional expertise, and broker opinions. When you work with me, you’re getting me and my entire network, ensuring your satisfaction and success.
Who you hire matters. Don't leave one of the most important financial investments you’ll make in life to chance or a discount broker with less experience, time, and skill sets.

My position as a Principal Managing Broker for Lake & Company Real Estate - the largest independent real estate brokerage in WA ranking 8th in productivity (Puget Sound Business Journal, 2023) alongside nation-wide firms - and past Director on the Seattle King County Board of Realtors® means I'm held to a higher ethical and educational standard than the average real estate broker out there. A lifelong and passionate learner, I embrace the challenges and dynamic nature of the real estate industry and how it is continually evolving to better serve consumers.
