Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC announced today that Northwest Home Team Realty, based in Tumwater, Wash., has affiliated with the BHGRE® brand. The company will now be known as Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Northwest Home Team.
Founded by Steve and Jessica Poulos, the Washington brokerage serves the South Puget Sound area, focusing on Thurston, Pierce, Lewis, Mason and Grays Harbor Counties. With one office and 26 agents, prior to its affiliation the firm reached $92,140,016 in sales volume from 225 transactions in 2020.
The South Puget Sound area in Southwest Washington is made up of a collection of islands that offer a short drive to both mountainous terrains and scenic waters. From whale watching in Friday Harbor to hiking in Deception Pass State Park, Puget Sound provides an array of recreational activities for tourists and residents alike. Its calm salt waters make it one of Washington’s biggest commercial shellfish producers, which contributes $270 million and 2,700 local jobs to the annual economy.
