Jason Watabe

Based out of the John L. Scott Mercer Island office, Jason Watabe has been in the real estate industry since 1985. He was born in Yokohama, Japan and moved to the U.S. when he was 20. He attended the University of Alaska where he received a bachelor’s degree in Eskimo linguistics. For a few years after graduation, he worked in advertising sales at a local newspaper in Fairbanks, Alaska and this career eventually led him to real estate.

As an experienced agent, Jason approaches each transaction as a unique opportunity to get to know his clients and their needs. He prioritizes communication and is always quick to respond, because for Jason, no transaction is taken lightly.

Jason works with a variety of buyers and sellers from across the country as well as internationally and he is always keen to learn something new from each client and the negotiation process. He loves it when an old client reaches out for new business and referrals.

Jason focuses on residential properties in Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and Issaquah. He is a member of the Japan-America Society of the State of Washington and enjoys golfing in his spare time.
