Why Is Kim V. Colaprete the Top LGBTQ+ Real Estate Agent in Seattle?
Colaprete did not arrive in real estate from a sales background. She arrived from political organizing, and that activist foundation is the defining quality that separates her from every other agent working Seattle’s urban neighborhoods.
For more than 25 years, she has used her real estate platform to advocate for marriage equality, fight for housing access for buyers who felt excluded from the market, and stand up for the communities she serves in ways that most agents in this industry have never attempted. That history of advocacy is not a marketing angle. It is the core of how she operates every single day.
Her “DivaLux” listing approach brings a level of visual marketing discipline and creative presentation to character-rich homes that the standard brokerage photography-and-lockbox model simply cannot match.
For sellers of unique, architecturally distinctive, or design-forward properties in Capitol Hill, the Central District, West Seattle, and surrounding neighborhoods, that difference in presentation directly translates to exposure, competition, and sale price.

What Do the Seattle Market Numbers Say Right Now?
In March 2026, Seattle recorded a median sale price of $865,000, down 1.6% year over year, with homes averaging 13 days on market. There were 766 homes sold, down 2.0% from the prior year. The sale-to-list ratio was 101.0%, with 30.3% of homes selling above list price and 28.3% of listings carrying price reductions.
Seattle scores an 85 out of 100 on the Redfin Compete Score and is classified as very competitive. The average home sells for about 1% above list price and goes pending in around 12 days. Hot homes command up to 2% above list and go pending in as little as five days. This is a seller’s market.
The modest price dip and rising price reductions reflect a market normalizing from its post-pandemic peak, not one in decline. For sellers, the 101% sale-to-list ratio confirms that correctly priced, well-presented homes are still generating competition and closing above asking. For buyers, 12-day average pending times leave no room for hesitation. Full underwriting approval before the search begins is not optional in this market.
