About Me
Hello! I'm Lisa Taylor, a distinguished REALTOR® at Realogics Sotheby's International Realty, specializing in the vibrant Puget Sound market. With Bellevue as my base, I excel in guiding clients through strategic real estate transactions, consistently achieving exceptional results. Together with my team at Rainier Estates, I offer a comprehensive real estate concierge service, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.Beyond my real estate career, I hold certifications as a Graduate Personal Property Appraiser (GPPA), Certified Probate Specialist, Certified Auctioneers Institute Graduate Auctioneer (CAI), and Benefit Auctioneer Specialist (BAS). This background uniquely equips me to assist clients with diverse personal property needs, always prioritizing diligent and effective service, while also helping the local community through fundraising auctions. Understanding the auction industry provides me with a unique perspective in today’s ever challenging real estate market, specifically how to position a home for the highest prices possible and an uncanny ability to ‘read the room’ if you will.
Before entering real estate, I honed my skills as a Marketing Director at Microsoft in Redmond, and later in Silicon Valley, where I led business development and marketing divisions. Since 1986 I've also provided clients with asset appraisals, estate auctions & sales and estate management services - a passion that led me to found Rainier Estates. Teaming up with Sotheby's International Realty, I combine global real estate expertise with personalized service tailored to each client's unique requirements.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing tennis with friends, organizing charity benefits, and cherishing moments with my two daughters. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to connect with you and discuss how I can assist with your real estate goals.

We had Lisa and her team help my father transition from his long time home (since 1965) in Bellevue this past year. Both my sister and I live out of state and needed help with the enormous task of the transitions/ moving 50+ years of our family's home. Her services were comprehensive from assessing and hosting estate sale, assisting with move to new residential facility, prepping/ staging home for sale ( and getting top dollar). They went above and beyond what we had hoped for and continued to follow up with my father months after business concluded, We interviewed several real estate agents. No one came close to what Lisa and her team were able to provided in making the home transition smooth for my dad( a very difficult process) as they were present every step of the way from closing up the house, assisting with the move, helping with arranging new apartment, donating unwanted goods to local charities along with the well strategized sale of our home. And all of that at a competitive pricing.! We have been extremely thankful and blessed for Lisa and Rainier Estates. I recommended them very highly. Reach out to them. They are approachable, clear with their services and fees. You will not be disappointed.

I can't say enough positive things about Rainier Estates! After suddenly losing a family member, my siblings and I were overwhelmed with dealing with the estate. We contacted Lisa at Rainier Estates and she assured us they could help us. It was very comforting to know that she has many years of expertise and was confident that they could handle everything. She organized the estate sale, facilitated the cleaning of the home, is planning an online auction, has items listed on Etsy and listed the house which is now under contract! The team at Rainier Estates is extremely organized, great at communicating, caring and professional. I highly recommend them!

Lisa, you and your team exceeded our expectations! Not only did you sell 95% of the household goods, you managed to make more than we had anticipated. You made our downsizing and moving on so much easier. We are thankful.

I got a call from a lawyer in Seattle, telling me my aunt passed away and left me everything. I live in New York City and didn’t even know her, but she had no one else. I met with Lisa, we agreed on terms, I gave her the keys and flew home. The house was packed to the gills; most of it looked like junk to me. Lisa and her team saw more. A few weeks later, I received a check for $30,000 and was in total shock. What a wonderful gift from my aunt. Thanks Lisa!

Lisa and Alexa have been such a pleasure to work with! Their communication and willingness to answer all our questions (big and small) made the process much less stressful. We had never gone through the estate sale process before and are thankful we had Lisa and Alexa to guide us through it! We were updated every step of the way and not once felt in the dark or unclear on the steps and details. Thank you both!

Lisa Taylor and her team helped my wife and I on a number of occasions with consignment of high value pieces. She was just super in immediately understanding the help we were asking her to provide and coming up with recommendations. The plan she presented was as good as it gets. She achieved all of our objectives with professional and personal aplomb. She has great enthusiasm and energy as well. We would unhesitatingly recommend her with the highest confidence that she will meet or exceed almost anyone’s expectations.

We needed to clear all the contents of the Moffitt Mansion last weekend, and we found a company that did a terrific job in the worst weather possible! The sale took place Sunday and Monday, and then anything left (and this home was 7.000 sq ft) with cupboards and stuff galore was cleared out! We weren't sure how she was going to make it happen, but when we came to do a walk-through with the buyers Wednesday, it was spic and span and empty. So Kudos to Lisa and her professional team!

We (my brothers & sister) all live out of town and had no clue how we were going to sell all Mom’s things, coordinate inspections, sell a house, watch over contractors – so we put it off for a year! Once we got Lisa & Alexa involved, all the stress vanished. They literally took care of everything! They are professional, wonderful communicators and, well, ideal really. Can’t recommend them enough!

My mother passed away and when we accepted an offer for her house that closed in 10 days, I had less than a week to clear the rest of her house. I decided to do an estate sale with Lisa Taylor's assistance. She was awesome! This was a superhuman undertaking that could not have been done without Lisa. She was knowledgeable, calm, dependable, and friendly to people at the sale. I enthusiastically recommend Lisa Taylor for your estate sale.

…my brother passed away. We live across the country, and we were unsure how to make everything happen – then, we met Lisa and Alexa. Poof – all the stress vanished. They sold all the items, cleared the house, helped with the dog even, worked with the city, went to city meetings, and sold the property. Amazing is all we can say. Recommend highly.

Exquisite care Comprehensive service When our mother moved to an apartment in an independent living community last year, she left a large home and the bounty of decades of avid collecting. We became concierge clients of Lisa and Alexa. We could not have made a better, more impactful decision for our family. Meticulous research supported a successful online auction reaching buyers across the country, with astonishing values for antiques and militaria. Exceptional project management skills found scarce contractors to refresh and renew the house and gardens, and kept them aligned like clockwork. Refined design sensibilities assured the home was artfully staged and presented to the market, and cool professionalism navigated the negotiations. From our first meeting through closing the sale, Lisa and Alexa supported our mother through this emotional life transition with warm compassion and understanding. We are so thankful we found them, and recommend them to you with our highest confidence.
