She has guided clients through hundreds of transactions, from resale homes and luxury properties to new construction projects, bringing clarity and confidence to some of the most significant financial decisions of their lives.
Known for her work across luxury, resale, and new construction, Galya brings a unique perspective to every transaction.

A lifelong Eastside resident, Galya brings genuine local roots to every relationship she builds. She takes the time to understand not just her clients’ real estate goals, but the lifestyle they’re working toward, whether they are buying their forever home, selling a cherished property, or developing something new.
Her practice is rooted in Real Residential’s Real Duty of Care, a commitment to honesty, transparency, and exceptional service at every stage of the process.
Outside of work, Galya and her family are active members of the Eastside community through local schools, youth sports, and neighborhood life. When she is not with clients, you will likely find her on the tennis court or chasing sunshine somewhere new with her family.
