Our Team
Serge Kovalev is a trusted real estate broker serving buyers and sellers throughout the greater Vancouver area, specializing in move-up and luxury properties. With over 25 years of living in the region, Serge brings a deep, firsthand understanding of local neighborhoods, market trends, and how the area has evolved over time. His clients benefit not only from his market expertise, but also from his extensive background in construction and hands-on remodeling, allowing him to evaluate homes beyond surface level and uncover both potential risks and opportunities.
Known for his strategic approach, Serge operates as both an advisor and advocate, guiding clients through complex, high-stakes decisions with clarity and confidence. His core strengths lie in pricing strategy, skilled negotiation, and helping clients make financially sound transitions into their next home. Whether working with a luxury buyer or a homeowner looking to move up, Serge is able to seamlessly connect market data, design insight, and long-term investment strategy to help clients make smart, informed decisions.
Serge has a proven track record of delivering results in competitive situations. In one notable transaction, he successfully secured one of the last remaining flat 9-acre parcels in the Washougal/Camas area for his client, winning against multiple competing offers without being the highest bid. In another, he helped a client secure their first luxury home in Camas by staying proactively engaged after an initial offer fell through, ultimately negotiating favorable terms and closing the deal. These experiences reflect his persistence, creativity, and commitment to positioning his clients for success.
At the core of Serge’s business is a simple philosophy: be honest, be prepared, and always put the client’s interests first. He is driven by helping people make confident, well-informed decisions during pivotal moments in their lives. By combining real estate expertise with construction knowledge and a strong business mindset, Serge ensures his clients understand not just how a home looks or feels, but how it performs as a long-term investment.
Looking ahead, Serge is focused on becoming the go-to advisor for move-up and luxury clients in the greater Vancouver area, building lasting relationships that extend far beyond a single transaction. He is passionate about creating a service experience that is both high-touch and highly strategic, while also continuing to build systems and a team that allow him to serve at the highest level.
Outside of real estate, Serge enjoys exploring the Portland-Vancouver area’s restaurant scene, discovering new local spots, and working his way through golf courses across the Pacific Northwest. He values time with his wife and family, and loves traveling to experience new places together. Whether in real estate or in life, Serge approaches everything with curiosity, preparation, and a focus on finding the best opportunities.
Fun fact: When visiting a new area, Serge always has a shortlist of restaurants to try and at least one golf course lined up. He approaches new places the same way he approaches real estate—do the homework, find the hidden value, and then go experience it.
