A lifelong Eastside resident, Galya offers deep local knowledge and specializes in luxury resale, new construction, and builder projects throughout the greater Seattle area.

Galya and her family are strongly connected to the Eastside through her children’s schools, sports teams, and everything that makes this community their home. She also enjoys spending time on the tennis court whenever she can. And during school breaks, you’ll often find her and her family recharging their batteries in a sunny destination.
