Mark Litfin is a Washington REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Bain and a member of The Ryan Karns Team, serving buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Seattle, Kent, Renton, Federal Way, King County, and Pierce County. With seven years of experience in residential real estate, Mark has built a reputation for providing strategic guidance, honest communication, and a disciplined approach tailored to the competitive Pacific Northwest housing market. His growing impact in the industry earned him nominations for Up and Coming Realtor in King County for both 2024 and 2025.
As part of The Ryan Karns Team, Mark contributes to a team that averages more than 30 buyer and seller transactions annually throughout the Washington real estate market. He works with a wide range of clients, including first-time homebuyers, sellers, relocation clients, investors, and probate real estate situations. Mark also teaches first-time homebuyer classes focused on down payment assistance programs, helping educate buyers on financing options, homeownership preparation, and navigating the purchasing process with confidence. His experience in probate listings allows him to support families and clients through complex real estate transitions with professionalism, patience, and compassion.
Before transitioning into real estate, Mark worked as a day trader specializing in options trading and market trend analysis. That experience shaped the analytical mindset he brings to real estate today, including pricing strategy, negotiation, market timing, and helping clients understand changing market conditions. He combines data-driven decision-making with a relationship-focused approach designed to create long-term trust and successful outcomes for both buyers and sellers.
Outside of real estate, Mark is a lifelong hockey player, outdoorsman, and dedicated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. The discipline, adaptability, and composure developed through athletics and martial arts directly influence how he approaches his business—staying calm under pressure, advocating strongly for clients, and maintaining a consistent, focused approach throughout every transaction.
Based in West Seattle, Mark has a strong connection to the communities and lifestyle that make the Pacific Northwest unique. Whether helping first-time buyers secure their first home, guiding sellers through strategic marketing and negotiations, or assisting families with probate real estate needs, he is committed to delivering a professional, educational, and relationship-driven real estate experience.
