About Eric

Who you'd actually be working with.

Eric Akines is a founding member and broker with Real Residential in Seattle, specializing in luxury and architecturally distinctive homes across the Greater Seattle and Eastside markets. His recent work spans more than 60 sales from roughly $380K to $9.4M — including a $9.4M sale in March 2026 and an $8.85M closing in June 2026 — with a role in one of Seattle's top three home sales of 2023.

Before real estate, Eric spent 25+ years as a global product and branding executive with iconic brands including adidas, Starbucks, and Nordstrom. He brings that background to every listing through authentic storytelling, world-class marketing, and a genuine passion for design and architecture — an approach that has earned the trust of prominent architects who refer their own clients to him.

Real Residential is consistently ranked the #1 team in Washington and King County, and among the top teams nationally. A Pacific Northwest native and University of Puget Sound graduate, Eric serves on the board of trustees of the Henry Art Gallery and was recognized in Seattle Agent Magazine's Who's Who.
