Nathan Mathisen is a Washington State licensed broker with John L. Scott West Seattle, where he helps clients navigate buying and selling across West Seattle, the greater Seattle area, and Bainbridge Island. As a West Seattle home owner and fifth-generation Bainbridge Islander, Nathan brings deep local roots and insight to every transaction. He works with a wide range of clients, with a particular focus on first-time buyers, as he recently was one himself and understands the value of breaking into home ownership, but also the challenges that it presents.

Nathan’s business is built on a client-first philosophy: he prioritizes clear communication, education, and a calm, supportive experience so his clients always feel informed, comfortable, and confident in their decisions. His goal is not just to close a sale, but to build long-term relationships based on trust, performance, and results.

Known for his market analytics and pricing strategy, Nathan is constantly watching the market and tracking trends to help clients make smart, strategic moves. He blends data-driven insight with strong relationship building, local market expertise, and thoughtful marketing and digital strategy. Although he operates as a solo broker, Nathan is backed by a strong support system through the John L. Scott West Seattle office, giving his clients the advantage of both personal attention and robust behind-the-scenes resources. His clients consistently award him five-star reviews, especially buyers who appreciate the way he truly listens to what they want and then delivers with his negotiating ability.

Education and transparency are central to Nathan’s approach. He is the host of the real estate podcast “RE radar with Nathan Mathisen,” where he breaks down the market and helps listeners better understand real estate. His background includes a degree in Communications–Journalism from the University of Washington, with a minor in Real Estate. During college, Nathan worked as a sports journalist for the student newspaper and hosted both a podcast and a live talk show—experience that honed his ability to ask the right questions, listen closely, and communicate complex information in a clear, engaging way.

Committed to his community, Nathan volunteers at a local West Seattle elementary school and enjoys being an active part of the neighborhoods he serves. Outside of real estate, he’s a devoted Washington Huskies football fan and season ticket holder, loves getting outside to play basketball, and explores Seattle’s donut scene by filming donut review videos in search of the city’s best donut. He also enjoys catching comedy performances and keeping things fun and approachable for everyone around him.

Clients know they can shoot him a message anytime they have a question—Nathan is always happy to chat and help them take their next step in real estate.
