Steve McNamer is a Managing Broker, REALTOR®, and founder of the McNamer Homes Team at Windermere Professional Partners in Puyallup, Washington. He's been doing this for over 13 years — not because it's a job, but because he genuinely loves the puzzle of it. Matching the right buyer to the right home. Getting a seller every dollar their property deserves. Helping families navigate some of the hardest moments of their lives with clarity and calm. The numbers back it up: 474+ closed transactions, a 103% sale-to-list ratio, 15-day average days on market, and a 100% listings-sold rate across Tacoma, Puyallup, and the broader Pierce, Kitsap, and King County markets.
What sets Steve apart isn't just the designations — it's the road he took to earn them. Before real estate, Steve managed a KeyBank branch, ran regional sales operations for a national online education company, and built his own small businesses from the ground up — including window cleaning, janitorial services, and yes, chimney sweeping. He's been inside thousands of homes not as an agent, but as someone who showed up, did the hard work, and understood what homeownership actually looks like from the inside out. That background gives his clients something rare: an agent who understands the financial side, the marketing side, the operational side — and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty when the situation calls for it.
Steve holds four advanced designations — SRES, CAPS, CPRES, and CNE — and serves as a certified Windermere Luxury Advisor and recognized Zillow Showcase Agent. His specialties run deep: probate and estate sales, divorce transactions, senior transitions, luxury properties, foreclosures, and manufactured housing. He's a five-time Five Star Award winner, named among the Top 100 Most Influential Brokers, and has earned 72+ verified five-star reviews across Google, Zillow, and Yelp, and others. When he's not closing deals, you'll find Steve on the water — boating, kayaking, or somewhere mid-cruise with no emails in sight. He's also fluent in American Sign Language, making the McNamer Homes Team one of the few in the South Sound fully accessible to the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community. No pressure. Just honest guidance and results you can verify.
