Working with a collaboratively trained specialist means you get:

✔ Neutral, unbiased guidance

I provide fair market analysis, clear options, and data-driven recommendations—without taking sides.

✔ A smoother, lower-conflict process

Collaborative practice helps reduce tension and keeps the focus on resolution, not courtroom battles.

✔ Clear communication & transparency

Both parties receive the same information at the same time, ensuring a level playing field and informed decision-making.

I work alongside attorneys, financial neutrals, and family professionals to ensure your real estate decisions support your long-term financial and personal goals.

A LITTLE ABOUT AMY’S BACKGROUND

Real estate represents so much more than a roof over your head. It’s also a means to financial freedom, security, and a way to provide for you and your family. As a broker at Windermere Bellevue West, Amy Alpeza takes a comprehensive approach to real estate, combining her background in construction and design with her training as a Certified Real Estate Divorce Specialist to create a holistic view of each client’s unique circumstances.

With over a decade of experience as a real estate broker, plus over a decade of previously owning and operating a construction business, Amy brings insight and deep knowledge to every transaction. From helping buyers or investors find the right property to fit their needs to assisting with remodels and logistics, Amy quickly anticipates and circumvents potential problems. She’s able to creatively problem-solve any issue that may arise, in conjunction with her vast network of real estate professionals, contractors, financial experts, attorneys, and more. Amy also offers specialized services for investors, including evaluating potential investment properties, remodeling rental properties, marketing, and ensuring their vision is executed for maximum return on investment.

Not only is Amy a savvy businesswoman, but she also knows firsthand that life’s transitions can sometimes be challenging. Amy specializes in helping couples going through separation and divorce to collaboratively work together to sell their home and ensure that each party can achieve their individual real estate goals during and after the sale. With sensitivity and finesse, Amy offers sage counsel to all her clients and can connect them with divorce professionals outside the real estate sphere should they need it.

Although she is a lifelong Washingtonian and a UW graduate, Amy has a deep love for travel. She firmly believes in the benefits of owning real property, not only as your primary residence but also for investment purposes. As such, she owns and operates multiple Airbnb’s in Arizona. She’s always looking for ways to give back to her community in Bellevue (where she’s lived for almost 20 years) and leads multiple divorce groups there. Most of all, Amy loves spending time with her three children, partner, and friends.

Buyer Testimonial

“I absolutely cannot speak highly enough of the outstanding service I received from Amy Alpeza. She literally went above and beyond helping me find the perfect home all while I was on a remote, water-locked, ferry serviced island that would have required me to take ferries to view homes. Amy went to many (many!) homes and face-timed with me so I could see them. After a while, I started to feel bad dragging her all over King and Snohomish counties but she reassured me it was totally fine and made me feel better! She also reassured me that we would find the perfect home and to hang in there – and boy, was she right! We finally found the most perfect home ever; however, there was an offer review date and I was concerned about losing the opportunity to have this amazing home. Amy demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise as she helped craft the perfect offer which resulted in the offer being accepted over all other offers. Thank you Amy!!! Amy not only possesses exceptional negotiation skills but also has a keen understanding of the emotional aspect of buying a home. From the very beginning of this house hunting journey, she took the time to understand my preferences, priorities, and concerns, making the entire journey feel personalized and enjoyable. Furthermore, Amy demonstrated exceptional organizational skills, coordinating seamlessly with other professionals involved in the transaction. This ensured a smooth and efficient process from start to finish. I wholeheartedly recommend Amy to anyone in search of a dedicated and skilled real estate professional. Her commitment to excellence, combined with her personable approach, made the home-buying experience not only successful but truly enjoyable. I am forever grateful for Amy!!” ~Bellevue, WA
