Licensed Real Estate Broker, Marketing Manager

I joined Mike Miller in the role of Marketing Manager in 2000, and I’ve never looked back. Real estate, specifically new home marketing, is my vocation. I’ve worked with developers and sellers of single family, townhome, condominium and resort communities. Geographically, I’ve launched new home communities and marketed new homes across the Greater Puget Sound area, plus Ocean Shores and Crescent Bar, WA.

I grew up in Renton and have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma. I’ve lived in West Seattle for over 20 years with my husband. We spend our weekends bird watching, brewery touring and hiking with our rescue border collie, Lucy.

206.914.3377

Since 2006, I’ve specialized in selling condominiums and single-family homes, including new construction and resale. I’ve worked with some of the top developers and builders in the greater King County area. I also had the pleasure of working one-on-one with individual home buyers and sellers. For all clients, my goal is to exceed expectations. I work hard from start to finish and beyond to make the transaction as smooth as possible.

Prior to real estate I had a long and rewarding career with Nordstrom in numerous roles. There, I learned the value of always putting the customer first.

As a lifelong resident of the Seattle area, I have great insight to this always changing city. I find this helps my buyers, sellers and developers achieve the results they are looking for.

In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors, spending time with friends and family, and exploring this incredible country.

I truly enjoy helping clients navigate the buying or selling process and being a part of such an exciting time in their lives.

Kim Martinez

Licensed Real Estate Broker, Community Sales Manager
kmartinez@matrixrealestate.com
425.417.3115

I became a real estate broker in 2004. My career in real estate began as a way to work flexibly, and be available for my two young sons. My first 10 years in the business was focused on resale, helping buyers and sellers achieve their goals. I have gained a wide variety of experience from first time buyers to equestrian properties, investment homes to condominiums, and everything in between.

More recently, my focus has shifted to new construction sales, with RM Homes. Being a community sales manager is both challenging and rewarding, in this fast paced and ever changing market.

I pride myself on honesty, integrity, and strong communication. I enjoy working with people and building lasting relationships. I love spending time with family and friends, traveling, reading a good book, and hunting for antiques.

Mike Miller

Matrix Partner and Designated Broker
mmiller@matrixrealestate.com
206.940.0688

With a passion for real estate and a knack for surrounding himself with an exceptional team, Mike Miller is a consummate real estate professional. As a founding partner of Matrix Real Estate, he is continuing to fuel his drive for helping developers find the best marketing and sales team for their communities.

For the past 27 years, Mike Miller has dedicated his professional life to Seattle-area real estate. In 1995 he recognized the opportunity for a niche-specialization in condominium marketing when he joined Faye Torgerson at Coldwell Banker Bain Associates in Bellevue. Within five years, from his start as a community sales manager, he was promoted through the ranks to senior management at Torgerson and Associates and then in 2000 Mike purchased the company from Faye and formed Miller Condominium Marketing.

For the next fifteen years, Mike grew his company, renamed MCM Group, into one of the most well-respected and largest-volume condominium marketing firms in the greater Puget Sound area. Specializing in for-sale multi-family product, MCM Group’s diverse portfolio ranged from Tacoma to Everett, including low-, medium- and high-rise condominiums, townhome communities, and both new construction and conversions.

Mike was instrumental in merging MCM Group to form Matrix Real Estate, which now has a diversified product focus including single family, townhome and resort communities throughout Washington State.

Mike has a warm presence and leadership style that naturally draw people to him, allowing him to form long-term partnerships and retain the best sales and management teams. One of his credos is “no ego” – with everyone working on the same team for the benefit of the developer and the community.  He particularly enjoys working in a team environment, collaborating with the development and design team from early site and product development through project sell-out. His ability to oversee the big picture while managing the fine details ensures that nothing falls through the cracks.

In addition to being our expert in-house sales manager, Mike has also taught CSP (Community Sales Professional) classes for the local Master Builders Association.

Mike has a Bachelor of Science degree from City University, and was named the William A. Bain Associates “Rookie of the Year” in 1990. Today he enjoys spending time with friends and family, traveling and being where the sun shines.

Faye Torgerson

Licensed Real Estate Broker

The spring of 2010 marked the beginning of my 23rd year in residential real estate. I tried to retire in 2001 but quickly found out that you can take the girl out of real estate, but you can’t take real estate out of the girl. I had an ongoing “crush” on Crescent Bar for over 10 years, spending a week or so every summer in the area.

So, when asked to join the sales and marketing team to represent and sell Sunserra at Crescent Bar in 2004, I was all over the opportunity. Little did I know I would “fall in love” with the community and purchase a home. I now live here April through November, have made many friends and continue to enjoy listing and selling other people’s homes. My current focus is the resort community of Crescent Ridge Ranch in Crescent Bar.

My years of experience give me the knowledge and personal business associations to deal with almost anything. I treat my client’s decision making as if it were my own. I love people and I love challenge. It is my daily pleasure to celebrate the Columbia River lifestyle and to introduce other individuals and families to the opportunity to enjoy a little slice of paradise. I look forward to meeting you and helping you with your real estate decisions. I can promise you one thing for sure – we will have fun and laugh along the way!!”
