Experience. Matt Goyer is an active part of Seattle’s houseboat and floating home community. He lives in a floating home in Eastlake at Mallard Cove with his wife and two kids, and he has taken on a major floating home remodel himself. Houseboats are unique properties that require a unique approach to prepare and market. As a seller, you want to work with someone who can answer questions and guide buyers and their brokers in the right direction toward a successful outcome. Matt enjoys educating buyers and other agents about houseboat ownership, as well as the implications of co-op, condo and rental moorages, DNR leases, personal and real property taxes, and other important houseboat-specific topics.

Marketing advantage. Matt ran marketing for Redfin and sold his own food-tech startup before becoming a broker, and he brings that experience to presenting your home to the right buyers. Floating homes are rarely like any other property on the market, so we take the time to tell the story of your home, your dock and your community online, where today’s buyers are looking.

Utmost discretion. Matt understands the importance of discretion and of maintaining great relationships in a small community such as the houseboat community.

Data-driven pricing. Pricing a houseboat is a complex affair, and the right number depends on your moorage type, lease terms, location, views and recent sales in your community. Matt holds a Bachelor of Mathematics with a major in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo and loves digging into pricing spreadsheets, so your price is built on real comparisons.

A Seattle brokerage behind you. Matt Goyer is the Owner and Managing Broker of Urban Living, a boutique Seattle and Bellevue real estate brokerage. He helps about 40 clients a year, which puts him in the top 75 agents in Seattle by sales volume.

Houseboat-specific guidance. Selling a houseboat or floating home is very different from selling a conventional home. Matt will help you understand how your moorage is structured, what buyers and their lenders will want to see, and how to position your home against recent sales at your dock and in neighboring communities. If you are weighing a sale, even a year or two out, he is always happy to talk through timing and preparation.
