Meet Mike Pavone

Mike Pavone

I'm Mike Pavone. I grew up in Bellevue, live in Kirkland's Finn Hill neighborhood with my wife and three kids, and have been selling real estate throughout Seattle and the Eastside for nearly 20 years. I've watched these communities change quite a bit over in that time, and growing up here has given me a depth in perspective that goes beyond market statistics.

I've worked with just about every type of residential real estate transaction, including luxury homes, waterfront properties, condos, investment properties, estate sales, and first-time buyers. My experience also includes downsizing, multi-family properties, 1031 exchanges, short sales, and auctions. Every transaction is different, and knowing how to handle the unexpected comes with experience.

Trilogy at Redmond Ridge

Trilogy at Redmond Ridge is one of my primary areas of focus. It's a unique 55+ community with its own housing market, floor plans, amenities, and community guidelines. Understanding those details is important whether you're buying your first home in Trilogy or preparing to sell one you've owned for years.

I work closely with buyers to evaluate floor plans, compare properties, and understand what they're paying for. For sellers, I focus on pricing, preparation, and positioning the home correctly in a market that doesn't always follow the same trends as the rest of Redmond.

Bellevue, Kirkland & Finn Hill

Bellevue is where I grew up, and Finn Hill is where I chose to raise my family. I've spent most of my life in these communities, so I know the neighborhoods, housing styles, and differences between locations that can affect property values.

Whether it's a condo in downtown Bellevue, a home in Finn Hill, or waterfront property in Kirkland, my approach is the same. I'll tell you what I think the property is worth, what I like about it, and what concerns me. Bad news doesn't get better with time and I'd rather have an uncomfortable conversation upfront than deal with an avoidable problem later.

Pavone Kinzler | Windermere Real Estate

I'm a co-founder of Pavone Kinzler, a real estate team with Windermere Real Estate. My business partner, Eric Kinzler, and I work together to give our clients the benefit of two experienced agents throughout the buying and selling process.

We bring different backgrounds, experience, and resources to the table, allowing us to cover more ground and give our clients a broader perspective on pricing, marketing, and negotiations. Our approach is straightforward: understand what the client needs, develop a plan, and follow through.

Outside of Real Estate

When I'm not working, I'm usually spending time with my wife and three kids, cooking, working on projects around the house, or getting a workout in. I enjoy staying busy and don't have much interest in sitting around doing nothing.

I've always believed that real estate doesn't need to be more complicated than it already is. Know your numbers, give people good advice, and do what you say you're going to do. The rest tends to work itself out.

If you're buying or selling in Trilogy at Redmond Ridge, Bellevue, Kirkland, Finn Hill, or the surrounding Eastside, I'm happy to talk through your options and give you my perspective.

Testimonials

Read what our clients have to say about working with us.

As an out of state buyer, it was important for me to find a realtor who would want to invest their time and attention in my transaction. Out-of-state buyers can be a higher maintenance client for an agent since they are not as familiar with the area. I researched real estate agents in the designated area (Trilogy) via AI and Pavone/Kinzler was the top recommendation for me. AI did not let me down, the team (and they are a TEAM) each has their own complementary business capabilities, and both are very responsive, kind and centered on understanding the client’s needs, wants and likes. As an out of state buyer, Mike/Eric were truly my “boots on the ground” not only in completing the sale but also overseeing details and requests regarding the property after the sale was recorded. I truly felt like Mike/Eric were going to make sure I was 100% settled in and satisfied with my new home. And they were. They were as involved with the “after sale” as they were with “the sale.” This feature is what differentiates Pavone/Kinzler; the competency and willingness to service a client’s specific needs beyond the sale. I could not be happier with my overall experience with Mike/Eric. They provided both the professionalism a buyer needs along with a very personal style that was refreshing and sincere. Pavone/Kinzler are a forever resource for their clients, besides also becoming a good friend.

Mike Pavone and Eric Kinzler were nothing short of amazing in the sale of my home at Redmond Ridge Trilogy. They helped me prep my home, were quick and efficient in obtaining photos and getting the house on the market, and held the Open Houses themselves. They were knowledgeable about this 55+ community and all the benefits of living in an active retirement community on a golf course. My home was sold for full asking price within a month of listing. Well done, Pavone Kinzler!

Working with Eric and Mike was truly an incredible experience from start to finish. From helping us buy our very first home, and when the time came for our next chapter, we knew without hesitation that we wanted them by our side again. Selling our home and searching for our forever home was a long journey, but Eric and Mike never once gave up. They were patient, dedicated, and always had our best interests at heart. No matter how many homes we looked at, they stayed optimistic and committed to finding the perfect fit for our family. Thanks to their persistence and expertise, we finally found our dream home in the Quail Creek Neighborhood in the Ames Lake area—and it truly is perfect for us. We couldn’t be happier. Eric and Mike go above and beyond in every sense. Their knowledge, responsiveness, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and even enjoyable. We are so grateful for everything they’ve done for us and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Listing with the team of Mike Pavone and Eric Kinzler, was a great experience. Their combined expertise was amazing. They navigated us through the process with ease. Everything went so smoothly. They were good at problem-solving and resolving issues as they came up. Couldn’t have been more happy with our sale. You won’t be disappointed with either.

From Day 1, Mike and his team were engaged and always quick to respond to questions/concerns. They made smart recommendations as to what projects to complete, in order to maximize the appeal of our home to prospective buyers. Very professional and friendly! They made the daunting home-selling process easy for us novices to understand. Guided us throughout the entire process! There's a saying that goes "You get what you pay for" and with Mike and his Team - if anything, we feel like they provided us even more value than what we did end up paying for. Not only are they "Our" choice in realtors but we now count them as good friends! Our only regret is that they aren't licensed in South Carolina to assist us down here! If / when we do move back to the PNW I can guarantee you they will be our first phone call!

Mike has been our one-stop, go-to guy for real estate since before we moved back to the area. He helped us find our house and years later to sell that house. He has put together a team that can work through all phases with ease and everyone is timely, responsive, and enthusiastic for their customers. I only wish he was moving with us to our new location.

Working with Mike was the best part of a tough home-buying process. In a very tough market, Mike's experience and knowledge made all the difference. Mike showed us several homes and helped us put together several offers until one was accepted. His patience explaining the various intricacies of the process and relationships in the area truly helped us feel secure. Mike was helpful through every part of the process. He helped us find a lender before we bought the home, connected us to contractors and service people to get the home ready for our move once we purchased it and counseled us throughout the process. Truly a one-stop shop that goes above and beyond.

Mike and his team are amazing, truly amazing. They helped us buy a new house and sell two houses. Mike was incredibly patient with us as we figured out what we wanted and completely understood what we were looking for. He answered a million questions during and even after the sales; he really knows his stuff. Mike has a great network of contacts and arranged all kinds of quality workmanship for us. Mike and his team made our old townhouses look brand new for sale. Both houses sold for over the asking price. We really cannot recommend Mike enough. It's too bad that we don't expect to need his services again for another 15-20 years!

We could not have asked for a better Real Estate agent than Mike Pavone and his associates at Mike Pavone Properties/Windermere when looking for a new home after our move from California. With his help, and that of Eric Kinzler from his office, we found exactly that not just a house, but a wonderful home. From finding and coordinating storage of our furniture in the early weeks; to a Welcome Home basket after our move-in was completed; to providing names of craftsmen when asked all was done with a courtesy and knowledge that was very appreciated.

It was such a pleasure to work with Mike. He made the home buying process feel less intimidating. I was new to the home buying process and he explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. Mike took the time to learn what I was looking for in a home and helped me find the right home for me.

Mike and his team were outstanding! Mike offered advice and suggestions throughout the process and always kept me updated. Mike was always available and answered all my questions. I moved to a different state before listing and selling, Mike and his team calmed my nerves and handled everything with ease. I highly recommend putting your trust in Mike to help you with your buying/selling needs.

Mike was incredible to work with! He helped us both prepare a home for sale, and buy a new home. Him and his team have developed a tremendous number of connections, which made the process of preparing our home for sale extremely smooth and at a minimal cost (drywall repair, painting, cleaning/staging). He is extremely communicative. He is always connected with you as a client and anyone else who is involved with your real estate transaction (contractors, loan officers, etc.) He will get you in to see a house as soon as he can. There were many homes we walked with him hours after being listed. Our new home was one which we walked with him the day before Thanksgiving. He knows the housing market in this area very well, and knows what it is going to take to win in this market. We are thankful to have been connected with him. Once under contract, we were always aware of where we stood during the process for each transaction, and never felt lost.

Mike has now got us into our starter home which we loved to call home for 8 years and then into our forever home along with selling our first. Mike is the hardest working partner we ever could’ve hoped for and has always gone above and beyond to make what can be a confusing experience, simple and easy. I would 100% recommend Mike and his amazing team to ANYONE, whether you are looking for a starter home, vacation home or forever home, you will be in great hands.
