Here's some reading material for people not familiar with my site: ONLINE CONTINUOUSLY SINCE March, 1999, you have reached "moderntom's" website of architecturally cool modern and mid-century modern houses for sale. This site is also the original "modern architecture for sale" website for the greater Seattle and northwest area. A huge archive of old listings going back hundreds of pages is here for your perusal, no sign-in or anything else required.
SeattleModern.com is a real estate website of mid-century and newer modernist architecture, design, homes, properties, multifamily dwellings FOR SALE and RENT, around the greater Seattle, Washington USA area. This site has been online since March 1999! Many happy clients can attest to my ability to "get it" (to be one of those rare agents who has an eye for clean cool truly MODERN architecture, mid-century and newer, and an amazing knack for finding these houses, often before they are even on the market). My talented hand picked staff and associates are also adept and experienced at helping clients through the maze of negotiations, inspections, repairs, remodeling, and "de-modeling", historical researching, documenting, talking to the original architects, financing, etc.) I, Tom Holst, started this site because of a long lasting love of modern architecture and a desire to do something I found truly interesting to give meaning and purpose to the use of my real estate associate-broker's license. Since then the ball has begun rolling and there is a new awareness of saving, purchasing, and conserving these modern works. This site is the work of one person: Tom Holst, a modernist enthusiast, student of the modernist movement, modern design, and modern architecture. I'm also a seller and buyer's real estate agent, so I do mix up commerce and filthy lucre on this site. I hope to hear from you, thanks! Click the "more about me" button for a general overview of what this site is all about. I've been called by the "fineliving tv" cable channel out of Denver Colorado. An interview with me, including some of my photographs, was published on two pages, including my color photographs, in the June issue of "Seattle Homes and Lifestyles" magazine. List your modern home with us now! No one else has been doing this kind of website as long, as I mentioned: ONLINE SINCE MARCH 1999!!!
For those who don't know much about me, in the last several months, working as an agent, I've signed and/or closed deals on real estate valued in the neighborhood of several million dollars. I've done hundreds of transactions so I've got the experience you need to take you through the real estate selling/buying process. Call me for your modernist architecture/real estate needs: Tom Holst: 206-841-0003.
(I was happy to be interviewed and on the front page of the Seattle Post Intelligencer newspaper about the rising awareness of and interest in "retro" and modernist houses by the public).
New plan taking effect now, please read:
This is a website of modern architecture around Seattle and surrounding environs. I am a real estate associate broker and like to list and sell these. This site is a documentation with images, of architect and NW modernism, International modernism, and midcentury modernsim, specifically those properties that were or are for sale, some commercial, mostly homes. I can't always get permission, like I normally do, to place the details of some of the hot new modern listings on MY site. Unless they are public images or images taken from a public street, or my own drawings, mls images are not posted here BUT there is one way to see those images AND all the sales info: I'm going to wait for YOU, my viewers, to send me your email address, and then, usually twice WEEKLY, I'll email you a link to ALL the newest architecturally modern listings available (then I don't have to ask for permission, I can just DO IT and I will still be within MLS guidelines and procedures). Some listings you receive may not be in your exact area or price but at least someone (me, that's my job) has done a lot of the weeding out so you won't be slogging through all the generic semi-traditional-style uninteresting homes out there of which there are so very many, with their heavy moldings and trim boards, as you know and see everywhere you go.
These fun to look at modernist wonders are out there but, like needles in the proverbial haystack, I have to work to find them and I look forward to emailing them to you. So send your email address to me at: moderntom@yahoo.com and you'll receive, usually once or twice week, email reports from me, with lots and lots of photos, of hand picked modernist homes/events, etc as they come newly available. Thanks! I look forward to this process, it'll be faster for both of us and I won't have to keep as many potential listings undisclosed either as I debate whether to share them with just any general public looker out there but rather only with those who've made an effort to work with me, and I'll do all I can to make the same effort to work with you! Thanks. Send your email address to: moderntom@yahoo.com.

Seattle Modern has moved to new offices in the all glass NBBJ designed skyscraper downtown, 50 stories, completed in 1969, very Miesian minimalist, very "Seagram Building". It's the one across from the new Library,
I love seeking out, discovering, and documenting these rare properties, some deserving of future "historical" or landmark status; (even though they are "modern"). Please note that most of the listings I've found and documented here may not necessarily be "my" listings, therefore it is imperative you contact me directly to be your buyer's agent. I do of course also LIST modern homes, and prefer to list modern homes as opposed to traditional style homes, I have turned down listing a number of "old world charm" bungalows in the last year. Feel free to call me at: 206-841-0003 or email me at: moderntom@yahoo.com
I try to do these full updates every week or so now, by 1pm or so Saturday afternoons, (depending on my work load). I have so many great currently for sale modern/mid-century modern house new listings to show you that your jaw will drop! At least they will give you a sense of my "eye" for this type of cool architecture. Contact me directly (at 206-841-0003) if you are motivated for more quickly updated, faster, personal service and direct delivery of listings. I will find and help you find/sell/mortgage/negotiate/buy your dream home now. This is my passion, a survey, a documentation, an inventory of all the "cool" modern houses out there, it's quite a project. Let me list or sell yours and keep this site, which is partly a preservationist/documentation/civic project, alive. Call me directly at: 206-841-0003, Thanks!
EMAIL me at: moderntom@yahoo.com
phone: 206-841-0003
Many happy references available! Thanks!
