Peggy Halbert
Broker
As a 27-year Eastside resident, I bring deep local insight and a personal understanding of what makes this area so special at every stage of life. Before settling in Seattle, I built my career in Boston, New York, and Chicago, working at leading firms like IBM and Kearney, where I developed a client-first mindset and a strong network. Now as a real estate broker with Windermere, I offer a white glove experience rooted in service, strategy, and attention to detail. I’m proud to guide my clients with transparency, collaboration, and data-driven expertise to help them achieve their real estate goals.

Why work with us?
1. Expert Knowledge of the Seattle Market
Clients deeply value agents who truly understand the neighborhoods, pricing trends, and local dynamics that shape Seattle’s real estate landscape. Whether it's advising on offer strategies in competitive areas like Green Lake or navigating permitting nuances on the Eastside, the Halbert Homes team provides peace of mind. Buyers and sellers appreciate when agents can explain not just the "what," but the "why" behind every recommendation. Local knowledge instills trust and positions the duo as a reliable authority.
2. Responsiveness and Clear Communication
In a fast-paced market like Seattle, timing is everything—buyers want quick action, and sellers expect real-time updates. A team in your corner who communicates clearly, promptly, and consistently is invaluable. Clients want to feel heard, informed, and guided through every step of the process. When a real estate team anticipates questions and offers solutions before they're asked, it dramatically enhances the customer experience - sometimes two is better than one!
3. Strong Negotiation and Advocacy Skills
Seattle’s competitive landscape demands savvy negotiation and strong representation on both sides of a transaction. Clients value someone who not only fights for their best interests but does so with confidence, professionalism, and finesse. Whether it’s securing the winning bid in a multiple-offer situation or negotiating favorable terms after inspection, customers want to feel like they’ve got the best team in their corner.
4. Trustworthiness and Professional Integrity
Above all, clients want agents they can trust to be honest, ethical, and transparent. In a high-stakes, emotionally charged process like buying or selling a home, knowing we have your back—and will prioritize long-term relationships over quick wins—is everything. This includes full disclosure, accurate pricing advice, and setting realistic expectations.
5. Seamless Collaboration and Team Chemistry
Buyers and sellers notice—and appreciate—when a real estate team works in harmony. A team that divides roles clearly but presents as one cohesive unit makes the process feel smooth and professional. Clients value the “two-for-one” benefit of getting double the support without disjointed communication or mismatched advice. Strong interpersonal synergy not only improves service but adds a layer of reassurance that the team is always aligned and in control.
