Hi, I’m Jessica Shao, and I am a real estate professional serving Bellevue, Seattle, and the Greater Puget Sound region. I believe in being transparent, listening deeply, and treating every client like family. My guiding mission is simple: I want to help you find not just a house, but a place you are genuinely proud to call home.
Taiwan is where I grew up, while Vancouver became my second home during my years abroad. My journey eventually brought me to Seattle, where I experienced the process of settling in all over again. Having personally navigated these transitions, I deeply understand the challenges newcomers face. I know exactly what it’s like to move to a new country and buy a home for the first time—it can be overwhelming! I became an agent because I want to be the kind of supportive guide I wish I’d had when I first started my own journey. Beyond my market knowledge, I’m a native Mandarin speaker, so I can communicate clearly to make sure everything is crystal clear for you, making the whole process stress-free and easy to understand.
Before entering real estate, I pursued a background that gave me a very unique blend of skills. I hold a degree in Chemical and Materials Engineering, which instilled in me a detail-oriented and analytical mindset. I furthered my studies in Hospitality Management in Vancouver, where I honed my focus on client experience and personalized service. This unique background allows me to approach real estate with both technical precision and a deep commitment to putting my clients’ needs first.
I am also the owner of a small, handcrafted business, which started as a creative hobby and has grown into a venture I am truly passionate about. Because of this, I have a keen eye for aesthetics and a real passion for detail, which I bring into every home search. I really pride myself on being able to stay steady under pressure and finding creative potential in a home that others might miss at first glance.
I grew up in a close-knit family with a younger brother and relatives scattered all over the world. Family has always been my anchor, which is why I truly value helping my clients find that special place where they can create their own lasting memories. These days, my home is filled with the love of my husband and our two cats. When I'm not working, I love exploring the outdoors with my family. Whether it's a backpacking hike or just relaxing by the water, I find that enjoying these little moments is what truly makes life feel complete. You can also frequently find me trying out new recipes in the kitchen, or enjoying a good cup of coffee at a cozy local cafe. I’m curious, observant, and deeply compassionate. I love connecting with people, and I’m always genuinely excited to help others navigate new chapters in their lives with a bit of warmth and a lot of heart.
