About Miki Maruyama — Japanese REALTOR® in Greater Seattle

A graduate of Doshisha University's Faculty of Law, and a mother of two. After graduating, she joined Honda Motor Co. Armed with the understanding of contracts she had built in law school, she threw herself into new-model production and development — confirming that products could be faithfully reproduced from the drawings that served as contracts with suppliers. Through that work, she came to deeply appreciate how vital, and how binding, a contract can be — an experience that would later become a real strength in the strategic, precise, and careful contract work that real estate demands.

She moved to Ohio and made the leap into real estate. Starting out as an assistant to one of the area's top agents, and later — after relocating to Seattle — learning the business from the ground up on a top team closing dozens of transactions a year, she sharpened her skill at reading contracts, at the art of negotiation, and at understanding what truly matters to each client. Today she works on her own as an independent agent.

Guided by the belief that a home is the foundation of a life and the axis around which daily living turns, she walks alongside each client as they begin a life that is truly their own. Having moved from Japan to America herself, she knows firsthand both the joys and the difficulties of living abroad — which is why she cares not only about finding a property, but about choosing a home with an eye to the life that will unfold there. Drawing on her real estate expertise and her skill in negotiation, she helps clients step forward with confidence, bringing them together with a home that makes life richer.
