 Paul Strawn | Washington State Real Estate Broker

Owner & Designated Managing Broker | Riley Jackson Real Estate Inc.

I have been helping buyers and sellers navigate Washington State real estate since 1994 and proudly serve clients throughout Grays Harbor County, Thurston County, Mason County, Lewis County, and Pierce County.

As the Owner and Designated Managing Broker of Riley Jackson Real Estate Inc., I lead and mentor brokers that specialize in residential homes, waterfront properties, acreage, vacant land, multifamily investments, and rural real estate throughout Western Washington.

Real estate in our region requires more than simply placing a property online. Communities like Ocean Shores, Westport, Olympia,  Elma, McCleary and Montesano each have unique market trends, zoning regulations, shoreline considerations, and buyer demand. My goal is to help our brokers’ clients make informed decisions while maximizing exposure, negotiating strategically, and navigating the transaction process with confidence.

Over the past 31+ years, I have built my business around strong communication, contract expertise, local market knowledge, and advanced marketing strategies. Whether you are buying your first home, selling waterfront property, investing in multifamily housing, or searching for recreational land, our clients deserve honest guidance, responsive service, and experienced representation from start to finish.

I currently have 3 office locations.  Our main Olympia office is staffed Monday through Friday and located at 2415 Evergreen Park Drive STE D.  Our Montesano branch office is located at 522 E Pioneer Ave and our Westport branch office is located at 206 Ocean Ave.  

If you are considering buying or selling real estate in Western Washington, I would appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.
