About Our Team

Ken Urman, Courtney Emanuels and Shannon Dodson are a team with a strong track record built with a dedication to client satisfaction and a commitment to these values:

Responsiveness  •  Trustworthiness •  Market Knowledge
•  Individualized Attention • Community Involvement

Ken, Courtney, and Shannon bring together the most important attributes in a Real Estate Team as Broker Realtors. They are passionate about and involved in their local communities, and energized by meeting their client's individual needs. Their patience, sensitivity, and genuine care for their clients set them apart from other Realtors. The home buying and selling experience can be a daunting task, but with their training and skills, they promise to gracefully guide you throughout the experience.

Based on Mercer Island, with real estate experience throughout Mercer Island, the Eastside, and Seattle, the team’s goal is always to provide the power of experience, professionalism, and perseverance in the service of their clients. They thrive on helping each achieve their real estate goals with the best possible results.

With years of experience working together as a team, Ken and Courtney are thrilled that Shannon has joined them in the ever-changing real estate landscape. Ken has resided on Mercer Island with his wife for 25+ years and his 2 sons have settled in West Seattle. Courtney makes her home on the eastside with her husband and 4 kids. Shannon and her family also live on the eastside. All three are avid supporters of USC, UW, UCLA, WSU and U of Oregon, which leads to some fun conversations regarding Pac-12 sports.

With different skillsets and backgrounds, their clients have the advantage of a team that works harmoniously together, being intricately involved in each transaction from start to finish. Additionally, by aligning their calendars, they are always available for their clients. As a recent client reviewed, “Courtney, Ken, and Shannon were great to work with. Very professional, highly communicative, well organized and a pleasure to work with. Their team sold our house in a very short time, at a price we were very pleased with. I highly recommend this team!”

Client Testimonials

"Courtney and Ken are a great team with complimentary skill sets. This makes them very effective and helpful in all facets of the process. We sold during the holidays and they covered for each other seamlessly. Their communications were timely, accurate and detailed. Everything was done remotely as we were relocating. This was an added complexity that they handled without missing a beat. There were details large and small to be handled and they did it all. The sale was successful, the new owners are satisfied and so are we. Great team, I highly recommend."

Their knowledge, integrity, compassion, and follow through, along with all their work behind the scenes with paperwork, vendors, and a crunched timeline gave me a sense of peace from beginning to end.

Alex Rad

HOME SELLER

"Ken and Courtney far exceeded our expectations. They took time with us a year before our move and walked us each step of the way until we sold. They physically invested their own time I helping us with clean up and staging. At every point they made sound remmendations but ALWAYS left the decision to us. We couldn't have done what we did without them."
