Elisa Wirkala Seattle Real Estate Agent Headshot

Elisa Wirkala

Real Estate Broker

Get to Know Me

A real estate agent and outdoor-enthusiast with an MA and BA in teaching and geography, Elisa moved to Seattle in 1987 and is a UW alum. She returned to Seattle in 2017 after a years-long around the world motorcycle journey that gave her a deep appreciation for finding home, and a knack for navigating high stress and ever-changing situations.
 
She's used her experience on the road and her Master's in Teaching degree and 10 years of teaching experience to help seamlessly guide her clients through the intricacies of real estate. But Elisa doesn't just have experience buying and selling homes; she's also helped build 23 single-family homes for Habitat for Humanity and has a keen eye for details and potential pitfalls.
 
Outside of her love for helping clients navigate the adventures of homeownership, she's most often found exploring the geography and geology of the PNW or helping neighbors with home and garden projects.
 
Brazilian born to an Argentine mother, Elisa speaks English, Spanish, and some Portuguese, and has a passion for social justice, the environment, literature, and creating community.
 
She specializes in helping clients navigate the ins and outs of preparing a home for the market, and loves her role in helping buyers find Home.
 
Elisa is a member of the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance. Check out her 5-star Google reviews, here!

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Elisa was proactive in finding quality listings, and responsive to my interests and particulars. She worked tirelessly to find a good listing and get it closed. She also provided keen insight into the bidding process, lending process, and closing process. Also provided quality referrals to local lenders whom I ultimately used.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Elisa did a great job for us during our house search and then our closing. She really pays attention to the details, offers good advice, and is very responsive. We definitely recommend her and would use her again for a house search.

— Susan H.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I have been involved in at least 5 home purchases over the course of my lifetime, and Elisa was, by far, the most helpful real estate agent I've ever worked with. She is knowledgeable, patient, and fully invested in the best interests of her clients. One of my past agents was my brother, and I felt more like I was in the hands of family while working with Elisa. Look no further, this is the agent you need!

— Zoila L.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Elisa found a perfect home for me, then sold my condo over asking. Wow. Elisa is most impressive. We discussed the parameters of what I wanted and didn't want in a home and neighborhood. She came back with great recommendations and even went out of her way to check houses during the 2021 summer heatwave of death, sometimes by herself, until she found the perfect house for me. She is also very knowledgeable about the market, things I would have to fix, how, and when. Oh, but there's more: Elisa was then in charge of selling the condo after I moved out of it. She did a terrific job planning, recommending upgrades, reminding me to do things, and was able to sell the old condo way over the asking price, with early offers, and with a very quick closing. Elisa is the best, go with her.

— David T.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Elisa has an invaluable perspective in balancing all the factors of purchasing as well as selling a home in Seattle. She has been so genuine in helping us find the best home for us, balancing the features and condition of the home, and what we're seeking in a neighborhood, and has been honest and direct throughout. She is communicative and timely, it's clear she cares about what she's doing. It's been great having her with us as we find our next home!

5 Stars to Elisa!

— Melissa C.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Working with Elisa was an amazing experience! From the first time we met her she established a connection with our family that truly felt like a partnership. Elisa is thorough and thoughtful in understanding what you are looking for in a home. From the very first week, she understood what we wanted in a home and how that home would best suit our family. She is very detail-oriented and her knowledge of the local housing market was invaluable in helping us navigate a challenging and uncertain time to buy a house. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

— Gabe C.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Elisa has been an absolute pleasure to work with in looking for our next home. She quickly "got us" as a family and continued to fine-tune her support while still making sure we didn't miss opportunities that might be a good fit. She was patient, and supportive, and cheered us on when we worried about finding anything that might work. It had been 13 years since our last home purchase and Elisa was great at getting us up to speed on the current market and process. We are thrilled with our new home and with the service Elisa provided. Although we plan to stay in this new house for many years, Elisa will be the first person we call when we decide it's time to move again.

— Shannon C.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Elisa was a true gem to work with! She was very thorough and went above and beyond to help us find our dream cabin! She researched any potential issues and followed through with suggestions. I would highly recommend her and her extremely superior professionalism! Great communicator and amazing energy!

— Koshtra T.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

First-time property buyers and we couldn’t have done it anymore smoothly and stress-free if it were not for Elisa! She was so patient, kind, and helpful, she gave us all the resources we needed and walked us through it all the whole way! Thank you so much for helping our family.

— Caroline C.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Elisa was wonderful to work with. She demonstrated knowledge, confidence, and accessibility throughout the process. Elisa supported us every step of the way and remained available for assistance even after we closed on our home. We highly recommend Elisa to family and friends who are in search of a home.
