Almaz Sebsebie

Before joining John L. Scott’s Kent North office, Almaz Sebsebie Gizaw worked in customer service at the Columbia Tower, held positions with equity office properties and gained finance experience working for Wells Fargo. Almaz holds a degree in international business and finance from the University of Washington Bothell and decided to put her business acumen and skills in customer service to work as a real estate broker.

While Almaz works with buyers and sellers of all types, she often helps clients in the Ethiopian community; she is from Ethiopia and is fluent in Amharic. She deals with residential listings in cities including Seattle, Lynwood, Kent, Federal Way and Renton. When helping sellers, Almaz often employs social media, professional photography and a kick-off weekend strategy to promote their home to potential buyers.

It’s a love of people and houses that attracted Almaz to the real estate industry. She’s also passionate about educating others about the buying and selling process. Almaz wants her clients to understand the process and commitment behind what is likely to be the biggest financial decision in their lifetime.

When she’s not working, she enjoys spending time with her husband and grown daughter, hiking and exercising. She is also involved with the local Ethiopian community and contributes to the P.E.O. Program for Continuing Education, a need-based scholarship program for women that is near and dear to Almaz’ heart ever since she received one herself.
