I am a dreamer, believer, listener and a doer.
A longtime resident of Jefferson County, an active member of our community
and second generation real estate broker.
EXPERIENCE
I'm a second generation broker. I grew up in the business, early morning listing appointments, evening showings and late night meetings; I get what it takes and have knowledge well beyond my licensed years.
I have successfully represented buyers and sellers in both residential, vacant land and commercial properties.
I work with first time home buyers, retirees, folks that live states away and clients who live in town and are looking for an investment property; a little of everything. I spend time educating my clients on the current market and trends, neighborhoods, and most importantly listening to their wants and needs so we can work together to capture their dream and find the perfect place.
I know how to win competitive situations, connect you with the right vendors through my professional and community ties, find solutions and work with my colleagues for a smooth transaction.
As a listing agent my PR background gives my clients a great advantage. Developing an effective listing plan, pricing strategy, marketing, and negotiations are all key elements in selling your property. Notably I've helped clients receive coverage in SeattlePI, Curbed Seattle, PDN, The Leader, KPTZ and more — before any paid advertising.
EDUCATION
I'm committed to being a lifelong learner. To learn, grow and develop through expanding my knowledge in areas of expertise such as real estate, learning new skills, like sewing, sharing new experiences and constantly improving both professionally and personally. Perhaps it's my competitive nature from a sports background, I love to hone my craft and skill sets while bringing out the best in myself and others.
I graduated with Bachelors degree in Public Relations from Central Washington University. I also obtained a business minor while playing softball for the majority of my time there (go Cats!). My freshman year I attended Simpson College in Iowa. I graduated from Chimacum Schools and continue to volunteer helping the high school softball team.
COMMITMENTS
- Being prepared, honest and easy to reach
- Genuine care for what matters to you

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you'll make. If you have questions, or just want to sit down and get to know me, I'd love to hear from you.
MORE OF WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING...
"Robyn was referred to us by a trusted friend who she's worked with over several years and several moves. It was clear after meeting for two minutes that she was who we were looking for to sell our home, the first home we ever owned. She was professional, smart, a clear and direct communicator, and a genuinely skilled listener. She asked us questions, took time to explain to us the complicated logistics of real estate, and made us feel like this very big and daunting process was doable and that she was there to help with every step along the way. She has incredible depth of knowledge in Jefferson County and knew the market very well. The photographers, stagers, and cleaners she hired were all top notch. Robyn paid attention to all the details when our house was on the market and I am confident the new owners moved into a house that was ready and waiting for them to make it their own. We feel lucky to have worked with Robyn, it couldn't have gone any smoother."

"I highly recommend Robyn Garing at Windermere for your real estate needs. Robyn is experienced, knowledgeable and professional. She was able to help me understand the market, navigate through a tight competing bid for a home, and through to a smooth closing. Can't be more pleased! Additionally, she has helped 2 others in my family find & purchase their home in PT!"
— Audree B
"Our family decided to move from New York to Port Townsend with three little kids in a tight time frame. I called Robyn to introduce myself. She answered the phone and I immediately knew our family was in good hands. She cleared her entire weekend last minute (which as a fellow parent to young children I knew was no small feat!) to meet me as I flew across the country so she could show me several homes. I could tell from her commitment to me that weekend that she would be our ally. Her warmth, emotional intelligence, genuine curiosity and breadth of experience as a real estate professional was an anchor for us over the next year before we bought our home. Her leadership got us through some extremely challenging times in the home buying process! I don't think we left any stones unturned on our journey! Not only did we ultimately find a home that felt aligned with our dreams and values, we found a lifelong friend (and neighbor) in Robyn."

"Hallelujah Robin Garing! She's everything you want in a real estate agent. Robin is a “ get things done now” kind of person - focused on her clients, honest, reliable, funny, and efficient. She delivers on everything you ask her to do and then does all the things you didn't even think to ask her about. She brought us our dream house with absolutely no worry. I would work with her again in a heartbeat."
— Thea A
"I've worked with Robyn Garing on dozens of real estate transactions in Jefferson County, WA. She is consistently calm, kind, professional, and incredibly thorough.
Robyn brings deep local knowledge to her work. She's a Jefferson County native, grew up around real estate, and understands the local market in a way that really matters when buyers are trying to make smart decisions. She also works with buyers throughout Jefferson and in Clallam and Kitsap Counties, which is incredibly helpful for clients exploring different communities across the Olympic Peninsula and Kitsap area.
From a lender's perspective, I especially appreciate how well Robyn anticipates issues, communicates clearly, and keeps a transaction moving without creating unnecessary drama. She is patient with her clients, steady under pressure, and a strong advocate for buyers when things get complicated.
For anyone looking for a REALTOR in Jefferson County, Clallam County, Kitsap County, Port Townsend, Sequim, Port Angeles, Poulsbo, or the surrounding areas, Robyn is exactly the kind of experienced, thoughtful, and trustworthy real estate professional you want on your side."

"Robyn knows the area well, photos were fantastic, she did a great job getting the house exposure in the community. She kept us well informed throughout the whole process. It went so smoothly - listed and closed within 6 weeks. Would highly recommend her! Thank you, Robyn!"
— Tammi T
“Whenever I am asked for a referral to a realtor, I recommend Robyn. Everyone who has taken my advice has come back to me with a gigantic ‘thank you’, and now they recommend Robyn too! She is honest, knowledgeable, professional and works 150% on your behalf. Real estate transactions are complicated, and stressful. Robyn stays calm throughout all the bumps and holds the deal together through closing. She is accessible and gets back to you with answers for all your questions. And, she has a great sense of humor, which really helps!”
— D. Gale
"I wish that I could give our agent Robyn 10 stars! We purchased a home in Port Townsend in the middle of the Covid-19 shelter in place while we were still living in San Francisco. Robyn made that possible by going so far above and beyond the call of duty.
She arranged to have an inspector come with her, she did a really thorough walk through via Zoom. We had seen several other houses with her over the previous months and we felt she really knew us and understood what mattered to us.
We bought a house sight unseen but only because we had so much faith in Robyn. Buying this house was one of the best financial decisions we made. She's young but she's wise, she grew up in the real estate business and she knows her stuff."
— Hope A
"Robyn did a fabulous job for our family. As the time came to help my Mother sell her home and move to assisted living, Robyn was both efficient and compassionate about the needs of my sisters and I as we prepared for the sale and helped my Mom to feel as good as possible about this life changing move. Robyn was very thorough in helping to stage the home and also to help us with the details to sell it ASAP and at the same time having the patience for us to find a new home for many of Mom's treasures. We highly recommend Robyn for your real estate needs. This is the second time I have sold a home with her and both times she has been stellar!"

Hobbies Outside of Real Estate
Family
Spending time with my family & enjoying the little moments because they're the big ones.
Opting Outside
Spending time outdoors is so important to me. Running, a walk down to the State Park, exploring our beaches, hiking & biking are a few things I enjoy.
Being Creative
Dreaming up fun activities for my kids, Cohen and Reese, sharing "bright spots" on social media, decorating and redesigning my home are all creative outlets that bring me joy.
