Lake & Company Real Estate began in 1982 with a simple goal:
Be Seattle’s best real estate company and serve the entire region.
The following philosophy was written by Owner/Broker Michael Skahen and is the foundation on which the company was built.
Belief: We believe in Real Estate and home ownership, and therefore have fun helping people achieve it.
Excellence: We strive to do everything better than the other companies.
Service: The client’s needs come first.
Trust: Clients are treated as if they are a member of our family. The Golden Rule!
Our central location on the shores of Green 
Lake is ideally suited for easy access to all areas and as a member of the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, Independent Broker Association, and National Association of Realtors, Lake & Company is positioned to provide the best service available in today’s market.
As a result, Lake & Company has grown to become Seattle’s most productive independent real estate office, supporting more than eighty superior professional Realtors. Through commitment to quality, not size, Lake & Company carefully guards its reputation for excellence rather than simply relying on a national name, for, without a national name, we must rely on only our reputation for superior service to compete.
