A Word From the President

What an incredible year it has been so far! I’m so proud of everything we’ve accomplished together, and I’m even more excited about what’s still ahead. There’s been so much energy, growth, and momentum across AREAA Greater Seattle, and it’s been amazing to see what we can do when we all come together.

None of this would be possible without our Board, volunteers, committee leaders, sponsors, and every member who continues to show up and believe in our mission. YOU are the heart of AREAA Greater Seattle.

Some of the milestones we accomplished this year range from launching our first disaster relief campaign and raising more than $15,000 to support flood victims in WA, hosting our largest Real Estate Expo to date with 400+ attendees, doubling our Down Payment Assistance program from $20,000 to $40,000, developing our Commercial committee, and so much more! These accomplishments are more than milestones — they are a reflection of what is possible when we come together with a shared purpose. Together, we have built something truly special.

While we have accomplished so much already this year, there is still so much more ahead. We are especially excited to celebrate two upcoming events. Please mark your calendars for our Edge Mentorship Celebration on October 7th and our AREAA Greater Seattle Gala on December 3rd. This year is particularly meaningful as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of AREAA Greater Seattle. Our Gala will be a special opportunity to celebrate our journey, honor those who have helped shape our organization, and look ahead to the next chapter.

As we prepare for our 20th Anniversary Gala, we invite you to be part of this special celebration through our sponsorship opportunities — click below for more information on how you or your organization can support and be part of this milestone event.

When I think about everything we’ve accomplished together, I can’t help but feel incredibly grateful and proud! I’m excited for what’s ahead and for the difference we can continue to make together — giving back to our community, creating opportunities, and helping more families achieve the dream of homeownership. As your President, I am deeply honored to serve alongside all of you. Our greatest strength has always been our people.

Thank you for your trust, your support, and your commitment to our mission. Most importantly, thank you for being part of the AREAA Greater Seattle family. Here’s to celebrating 20 years of impact — and to everything we will accomplish together in the next chapter!

AREAA Down Payment Assistance Grant

Down Payment Assistance for Greater Seattle First-Time Homebuyers. Homeownership remains an important pathway to stability and building long-term wealth, but for many aspiring homeowners, saving enough for a down payment and closing costs can be one of the biggest barriers to purchasing a home. Through the AREAA Foundation Greater Seattle First-Time Homebuyer Grant Program, we’re helping make that path a little easier.
