Born to hardworking first-generation immigrants from the former Yugoslavia, Jeffrey’s ascent to today’s elite realtor ranks is truly inspirational. With an innate drive and an unyielding work ethic, Jeffrey skipped two years of high school at 16 to enroll at Pacific Lutheran University. Having earned an education in marketing and advertising, Jeffrey launched into real estate and quickly established himself as a top producer.
He has over 250 letters of recommendation from blue-collar workers who are realizing their dreams to the upper elite of corporate Amazon, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Google, Microsoft, the CEOs of F5 and Slalom, Expedia, Apple and Real Networks, local and national Politicians in the two administrations, Hollywood actors and producers, musicians, professional athletes, including Olympic medalists, and many more.
"Jeff is one of the most competent and energetic real estate agents on Queen Anne, if not Seattle, and we highly recommend his to anyone. In five days, we received two full price offers on our home and through Jeff’s skillful negotiation, we received top dollar."

Identifying top-tier agents and helping clients make smart, strategic second-home, investment, and portfolio purchases across the U.S.
With over $1 billion in sales and more than 1,250 homes closed.
I work with a limited number of buyers and sellers to provide the highest level of service. While I have a trusted team of associates and specialists, you will always deal directly with me—no assistants, no layers. I personally handle every showing, every negotiation, and every strategic decision, seven days a week.
Having toured and studied over 200 full structural and engineering inspections, I understand Seattle’s homes—and the land they sit on—better than most owners. I bring firsthand knowledge of each neighborhood’s history, commute times, school options (including private and special-needs), and even where competing listings fall short.
After nearly four decades in real estate, I know how to identify the right buyer. Today, I use proprietary AI to target them by language, profession, online habits, and global location. Your home appears on platforms like Zillow, Luxury Presence, Juwai.com, the New York Times, Financial Times London, Miami Herald, ESPN, and more—where your ideal buyer already lives, works, and browses.
92% of luxury buyers discover listings online, often before hiring a broker. That makes me their first contact—and your home’s best advocate. Most buyer agents present offers based on assumptions. I counter with facts. I articulate why your property is worth more, what makes it unique, and why the offer deserves to rise.
For many of my out-of-state or investor clients, I coordinate and oversee every detail—staging, landscaping, pre-inspections, vendor scheduling, and more. I often cover the initial expenses out of pocket and am reimbursed at closing. There’s no additional commission, just full-service representation done right.
Jeffrey founded Seattle Premier Properties, Inc. in 1988. A company affiliated with two of the most affluent brokerages in the nation. Jeff remains a premier managing broker in the Northwest and a national real estate consultant. He has over 1,250 personal sales totaling more than $1 billion in real estate, from Seattle and the West Coast to Miami, New York, and destination cities on the East Coast. He is frequently seen on CNN, the New York Times, and ABC, CBS, and NBC affiliates.
People ask what do you do when not selling lifestyles? "Honestly, Jeff?"
Short answer: Avoiding humans.
When I’m not globe-hopping with my twin sons, Elijah and Nolan (born 2000), I’m solo somewhere that requires bug spray, a wetsuit, and is several zip codes from the nearest Starbucks.
I upland bird hunt. I horseback into the North Cascades to fly fish for days—sometimes weeks—because Wi-Fi is overrated and fish don’t argue. I yacht (because sailing requires too much patience and spare time) to secluded coves where I free dive and spear my own dinner—culinary side quests inspired by cooking stints in Paris, Lyon, Pescara, Split, Central America, and more islands than I can list without sounding like a travel brochure.
When I’m not underwater or saddled up, I’m in a kitchen somewhere trying to channel Bourdain while muttering like Bill Burr, pan in one hand, wine in the other. Or I’m carving powder in Whistler—because nothing says “still got it” like outrunning a knee replacement.
I ride with Globetrotters, a crew of international nomads who saddle up across the African savannah, the cliffs of Ireland and Scotland, and beaches where sunscreen is a survival tactic. I speak five languages fluently enough to start a conversation—and ruin it halfway through.
Before real estate, I chased acting gigs. If you pause Miami Vice, My Name Is Earl, or The Hunt for Red October just right, you might catch me squinting at the camera, pretending I know my lines. These days, the closest I get to the screen is being asked to scout the next Sleepless in Seattle—I’ve sold two of the homes they filmed in, and no, I wasn’t invited to the wrap party.
So if you’re wondering whether I can manage your property listing, media strategy, or high-maintenance escrow—just remember:
I’ve dodged sharks, survived film sets, and accidentally peed on Harrison Ford’s ranch.
Your closing date? I’ve got this.
"We wholeheartedly endorse Jeff Valcik & Anne Bridgman for any home sales needs. They are an absolute fantastic team and have sold two houses for us. In both cases, Jeff clearly outlined the price ranges and how they fluctuated against various timelines and, in both cases, he was dead on, selling each home within a week. And, we should note that our second sale was a bit complicated as we were living in NY and had renters in the house that was being sold. They managed to make selling a home from across the country feel effortless. Please feel free to contact us with any questions."

“Your knowledge of Queen Anne and marketing ability strengthens your stellar community reputation. We felt our sale would be rather difficult because we were turning around the home in less than a year after putting some work into it. So, with the help of all your efforts, we were thrilled when an offer came in so soon afterward!”

“Having you as our realtor alleviated any concerns we may have had about moving before our home was sold. You were also proactive in suggesting solutions to improve any perceived concerns regarding the property…we appreciate all of your hard work, which resulted in our house being sold quickly for the best possible price. We will call upon your expertise again if we relocate to the Seattle area.”

YOUR HOME
Pricing your home effectively is critical to getting a great offer. Using my data-driven approach, I've prepared a suggested listing price to generate maximum interest from the market.
"Not only has Jeff sold two of our family homes on Queen Anne as premier properties, but he recently sold a Queen Anne townhouse for someone I know to whom I referred Jeff. Jeff brings an incomparable level of experience, confidence, expertise, and focus to ensure a client receives the highest market value for their property. He brings a level of dedication and caring to understanding the needs of a client that is refreshing and authentic. Not only is he a skilled professional who knows all the subtle ways to enhance a property's value and appeal, but he also brings a genuine kindness and empathy in addressing any special needs that a situation might require. The highest compliment I can give Jeff is that while I met him in his role as a professional broker, I now consider him a friend. I highly recommend him. He is exceptionally talented."

"Incredible. I truly don't throw that word around. I lived in Madison Park before moving to Beverly Hills and had four agents provide price opinions; Jeff came in with the highest estimate and sold it above the listing price in less than 10 days. Furthermore, the home was built on post and pier and was pre-1930, and Jeff successfully negotiated without any work orders, selling it "as is."

“I wanted to post a quick note regarding Jeff Valcik. I’ve purchased 2 homes in Seattle in the past 3 years. He is one of the top agents in the Queen Anne area, extremely professional and has a proven track record in both representing buyers and sellers. In our most recent purchase, Jeff was able to find a home for us and get our offer presented before any other buyers were able to respond. His quick action allowed us to get a great deal on the property in a very fast moving market!”

"Whether marketing and selling my residence in Seattle (for more than the other brokers thought they could get), consulting with my broker in Beverly Hills regarding my relocation, or finally, selling my second home in Miami, your expertise in each market was incredible. Thank you for all your efforts."

"Jeff was outstanding in helping us sell our home. We were in a situation where our house had sat on the market for 90+ days with a previous realtor and wasn't moving. We decided to switch to Jeff because we needed it sold. He put a plan together, got it back on the market, and we had multiple offers within the first two weeks, and we fully closed 30 days later. Jeff worked tirelessly during that time to ensure everything was moving forward and we would sell and close as soon as possible. I only wish we had started with Jeff at the beginning!"
