Sebastián Schiavone-Ruthensteiner

I fell in love with Whidbey Island over 20 years ago and have called it home ever since, owning and managing multiple properties while raising my family in this remarkable Pacific Northwest gem. Before becoming a broker, I spent years leading technology programs at Apple, Google, and Microsoft. That experience taught me how to anticipate client needs, navigate complex processes, and deliver seamless service no matter how complicated the details.

Having lived and traveled internationally across South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, I know firsthand what it’s like to purchase property in unfamiliar markets. This is why I specialize in helping investors and discerning clients navigate U.S. real estate, from financing and visa requirements to cultural and communication nuances. I work primarily as a buyer’s agent, dedicating my energy to finding premium waterfront estates, architectural treasures, and high-appreciation properties for affluent clients relocating to Whidbey or making strategic investments.

Whether we’re meeting for coffee in Langley, Seattle, or connecting across time zones, my goal is simple: make your property search feel collaborative, transparent, and stress-free while helping you find something that truly fits your vision.
