About Sammamish Realtor

The Sammamish Realtor Story

Making the markets work better for everyone.

During the Great Recession, our co-founders Tore Steen and Darren Powderly saw how many people were overly reliant on Wall Street for their investment opportunities. Realizing the importance of diversification outside of public equities, combined with the rise of a new investment vehicle known as equity crowdfunding, the two co-founded Sammamish Realtor in order to give individual investors better access to real estate, the 3rd-largest asset class in the U.S.
