If your tenants are not paying rent on time, you’re probably wasting a lot of resources and effort chasing down the payment and trying to hold those renters accountable to their lease agreement.

Lisa BrannonI was born in California and then moved to Washington when I was 5 years old. I grew up in Redmond and Bellevue. I then moved to New York in high school and lived in Upstate NY for 10 years. When I was 24 I moved back to Seattle and have been here ever since. My two sons, my husband and I live in Enumclaw and enjoy all the Northwest has to offer. We enjoy watching our kids play sports, skiing, tennis, hiking, walking our dog, volunteering at our kids schools and camping.
I have been a self starter ever since I can remember. I started out in college majoring in information technology and early childhood development. Then I began working in marketing at my family owned company, PMA. After 6 six years there I became a real estate agent after buying my own investment properties. After 2 years of full time real estate I obtained my brokers license and started managing REMAX Performance Plus’s Federal Way office. I was very busy during the boom years and pulled my husband into real estate to better serve our clients.
Once the market slowed down I had an opportunity to buy my family marketing business. As a business owner I can’t just leave real estate because I love it so much. So now Joe and I team up again. No better way to do that but to start our own real estate brokerage and do real estate our way…. and People’s Real Estate was born.

Joe BrannonI was born in Alabama and then moved to Washington when I was stationed at Fort Lewis in the Army. I grew up in Georgia with my 3 sisters and 1 brother. I started out in law enforcement and then decided to join the military to get medical training. From there I was a military MRI technician and then transferred to a civilian MRI position in Seattle.
My wife and I started investing in real estate and found I had a knack for working with tenants. As Lisa got busy with real estate I realized how important it was to be able to spend time with family and the need to really enjoy my work. Real Estate fit both of those. I work with buyers, sellers and property owners. Every day is different and has its challenges but with proper communication between the parties involved I can help facilitate a solution to any problem.
The one key I feel is so important in this business is to remember its about the people I work with not the commission I make. Here at People’s we feel that if we take care of our clients then God will take care of us.
As the designated broker at People’s I get the best of both worlds, helping people and quality family time.
