Real Property Associates was founded in 1991, back when the people of Seattle wore flannel, drank fancy coffee, and were fanatical about a Seattle sports team. A lot has changed since then… wait a minute.

Well, RPA has changed. Starting with just two employees, we have grown to over 50 full-time professionals and nearly 4,300 residential and commercial rental properties in the greater Seattle area. Yet since 1991, our goal has remained the same: to exceed owner expectations and provide exceptional service to our residents.

 

All employees of Real Property Associates epitomize RPA's core values:

Hustle: We hustle with a purpose.

Steady: We are steady as we grow.

Integrity: We are honest and fair.

Adaptable: We adapt and adjust.

Follow Through: We finish what we start.
