Our team

John and his trusted colleagues are very different from the “mega teams” out there. With John at the helm as the lead educator and negotiator, he relies on a team of skilled professionals who are successful realtors in their own right, and who collaborate to assist John with specific tasks.

Larissa Sweeney is the listing preparation expert extraordinaire who collaborates with John and their trusted contractors to ensure sellers’ homes are ready for market, on time and on budget.

David Todd specializes in showing buyers properties around Puget Sound. As a longtime Seattle resident, he has a deep well of knowledge regarding neighborhoods, schools, and things to look for as you’re touring homes.

When it’s time to make key decisions and glean advice, it’s John all the way. John is your advisor and point of contact from start to finish.

“John and Larissa are amazing to work with, full stop. They have an extremely solid view of the current market and will work towards the best path for your house sale. Working with John and Larissa was a zero stress situation and they dotted all their i’s and crossed all their t’s when it came down to the nitty gritty deal/contract jargon. I can’t wait until next time I need a buyer or sellers agent and I get to ring up John again and chat.”

Our office team

Lake & Company Real Estate was founded in 1982 to meet the real estate needs of our Puget Sound neighbors.

Lake brokers are like family, working collaboratively with one another and with their peers in the industry.

At Lake & Company we believe the process is all about you. For over four decades, Lake & Company has built a solid reputation by providing clients with attentive service, superior marketing and professional expertise. When you work with Lake & Company, you can count on total commitment from your broker, backed by our Lake & Company Guarantee.
