About Me

Enthusiasm and a zest for life are two of the driving forces behind Alan Montgomery's real estate practice – and his life. He describes himself as a happy and fortunate person, and he brings that positive attitude to everything he undertakes.

A real estate broker and mortgage broker in the Central and North Puget Sound area for nearly 18 years, Alan still gets the same pleasure and satisfaction from helping people make their dreams come true that he did when he first started. In fact, putting smiles on other people's faces seems to be an underlying theme in both his real estate practice and in his spare-time activities. It's no wonder that a good number of his clients come through referrals from past clients.

Alan doesn't just help others purchase and sell homes – he believes in real estate himself. He's a real-estate investor / landlord who has done the hands-on work of remodeling and rehabbing numerous homes and multi-family properties.

This personal involvement in renovating homes has given Alan a sharp eye for the kind of flaws that would make a house a poor investment. As a result, he has on many occasions advised buyers against making a purchase when it wouldn't be in their best interests. At the same time, he has the knowledge and experience to assist his sellers in preparing, staging, and decorating their Puget Sound area homes for the most appealing presentation.

Alan attributes much of his success to his attention to detail and the ability to develop a good working rapport with nearly everyone. He finds that doing it right the first time eliminates the problems and conflicts that can plague real estate transactions.

An accomplished photographer, Alan uses his skills and professional equipment to set his listings apart from the crowd in their on-line presentations and to showcase the beauty of the Puget Sound area.

Due to his love of travel, Alan's portfolio also includes breathtaking images from around the world. 

On the charitable side, Alan volunteers his photographic talents to non-profit organizations, including the Starlight Children's Foundation, Summer Search and the Asian Pacific Cultural Center.

Alan is a confirmed "health and happiness addict," and co-founder of the Health and Well Being Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to promoting a healthier and happier lifestyle.

Along with an assortment of sales, marketing, and management courses, Alan's formal education includes a degree in Music Theory. So it's no surprise that in his free time he enjoys playing jazz and classical music on his baby grand piano.

When not selling real estate, helping borrowers obtain mortgages, volunteering his time to a worthy cause, or traveling, Alan simply enjoys his life in the Puget Sound area. Here he can partake of the area's many fine restaurants and visitor attractions, or just retreat to his bluff-top home. There he can revel in the vistas of Puget Sound, Whidbey Island, and the Olympic Mountains.
