DJ Reed isn’t just a real estate agent; she’s a problem solver in the truest sense. She steps into both "regular" and "interesting" situations where homeowners need to buy or sell a home and gets it done. If Buyers or Sellers feel stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to walk away, she finds solutions that others can’t. Whether it’s a foreclosure looming, a home that needs too many repairs, or a situation that just feels impossible, DJ makes it simple. She has the resources, the knowledge, and the team to take over, fix the problem, renovate the home, pay off the debt, and make sure her clients walk away with cash in hand.
What makes DJ different is her ability to see the big picture while handling every little detail along the way. As a former high school principal and athletic director, she knows how to cut through chaos, build a plan, and execute with precision. She thrives in complexity and brings a level of structure and clarity that her clients need in high-stress situations. But it’s not just about the plan; it’s about the follow-through. DJ gets things done, and she does it with a level of determination, integrity, and kindness that sets her apart.
Her experience goes far beyond selling houses. As a licensed general contractor, she understands real estate from the ground up, literally. She doesn’t just see properties as they are; she sees what they could be. That vision allows her to step into distressed situations and create value where others see nothing but problems. She knows how to assess, renovate, and transform homes, turning what might feel like a loss into a fresh start for the people she helps. Beyond just fixing houses, she has a deep love for making properties exceptional, bringing out their full potential in ways most people would never think of.
That passion for transformation isn’t just something she brings to her work; it’s how she lives. DJ has a farm of her own where she spends time with her horses, dogs, and the land she loves. She understands what it means to breathe life into a property, whether it’s a home that needs a second chance or a piece of land that’s waiting for the right touch. She knows that real estate is more than just buying and selling; it’s about creating places that feel like home.
At the heart of it all, DJ is about creating win-win situations. Her goal isn’t just to close deals; it’s to help people move forward. She doesn’t back down from challenges, she thrives on them. If you need someone who will step in, take control, and turn a stressful situation into a success story, DJ Reed is exactly who you want in your corner.
Born and raised in Bellevue and now living in Kent, DJ is a former high school math teacher, athletic director, and assistant principal. Making decisions, writing contracts and keeping you safe when making decisions is a huge part of being a great Realtor. Being a General Contractor helps her help you notice, then negotiate the items to address when making offers or selling your home. DJ's team has also been able to "flip" homes for Sellers prior to listing so Sellers make more when they sell and "bring them back to beautiful" prior to Buyers moving in so their new house is totally ready for them.. Recently, she negotiated $30,000 in Seller paid repairs prior to closing - including a new furnace, AC, water heater, and electrical work. Ask us how to help make your home dreams come true now!
