Mike Konopik specializes in representing buyers and sellers of waterfront, island, and view properties across Whidbey Island, Anacortes, the San Juan Islands, and throughout the greater Puget Sound region.
These homes offer a rare combination of natural beauty and understated Northwest luxury — but they also require a level of expertise that goes far beyond traditional residential real estate.
Waterfront properties demand precision.
Shoreline regulations, critical area compliance, septic systems, wells and water rights, drainage considerations, dock and moorage permitting, geotechnical factors, and evolving environmental regulations all play a critical role in valuation and long-term ownership. Mike guides clients through these complexities with clarity and confidence, ensuring a smooth and strategically sound transaction.
As a founding member of the Northwest Island Alliance, Mike collaborates with trusted partners to provide seamless coverage across the Puget Sound islands. He is also an active member of Compass Resort and Realm — the global luxury platform — connecting his listings to a sophisticated national and international audience.
Beyond residential luxury, Mike is highly experienced in:
Vacation rental and short-term investment properties
Commercial and income-producing real estate
1031 tax-deferred exchanges
Strategic portfolio repositioning
Capital gains and Washington real estate excise tax considerations
Before entering real estate, Mike built a successful corporate career in international business. That background informs his analytical approach, negotiation strategy, and financial insight — providing clients with guidance that extends beyond a simple transaction.
His practice is built on discretion, strategic marketing, and long-term advisory relationships — serving clients who value both lifestyle and investment performance.
When he’s not working, Mike enjoys travel, golf, and exploring the world’s great coastal destinations — always returning home to the waters of Puget Sound.
