Harley Lever

Harley Lever is one of the Pacific Northwest’s most uniquely credentialed real estate professionals. With 27+ years spanning real estate sales, construction, HOA management, and marketing — combined with a background as a human factors research scientist and U.S. Olympic program contributor — Harley delivers results that go far beyond what a traditional agent or property manager can offer.

What Sets Harley Apart

Before real estate, Harley was a research scientist in aviation automation and flight deck control systems. At ASU’s Technopolis Program, he co-developed biomechanical performance technologies later adopted by the U.S. Olympic Committee to maximize athlete performance — a testament to his ability to apply rigorous, science-based thinking to complex, high-stakes challenges.

That same mindset drives everything he does in real estate. Brokerage firms across the region seek him out to train their agents on modern marketing strategy, and Zillow has tapped his expertise to evaluate emerging real estate platforms. As an award-winning photographer hired by firms nationwide, he knows how to make properties impossible to ignore.

Harley also brings rare hands-on construction expertise — spanning both residential and industrial projects — that few real estate professionals can claim. He has personally managed over $15 million in construction projects for homeowners associations throughout the Puget Sound area, giving him an unmatched ability to oversee complex building repairs, capital improvements, and long-term maintenance programs with the technical depth and financial accountability that boards and residents deserve.

Seattle’s Trusted HOA Manager

Harley currently manages 25 HOA communities across the Seattle area — from 6-unit luxury townhomes to 50-home neighborhoods and condo associations throughout the region. As a former HOA board president himself, he brings personal insight into every challenge boards face: regulatory compliance (including WUCIOA and Seattle rental laws), reserve planning, maintenance oversight, HOA financing, and the interpersonal dynamics that come with governing a community of neighbors.

AI-Powered Insights — Smarter Management, Happier Communities

As a former research scientist and technology leader, Harley is at the forefront of applying artificial intelligence to real estate and HOA management in ways few professionals in the Pacific Northwest can match. His goal is simple: use technology to lift the burden off HOA boards, keep residents informed and supported, and protect every community’s most valuable assets — proactively.

• Reducing HOA Board Workload — AI-assisted tools automate routine governance tasks, document management, and reporting so board members can lead their communities without being overwhelmed by administrative complexity.
• Enhanced Community & Resident Communications — Intelligent communication systems keep every resident informed, engaged, and heard — delivering timely updates, maintenance notices, and community news in a clear, accessible way so homeowners can simply enjoy where they live.
• Proactive Maintenance Planning — Predictive AI analysis identifies maintenance needs before they become emergencies, helping communities stay ahead of component failure, deferred maintenance, and the costly consequences of water intrusion, fire risk, and structural deterioration.
• Reserve Study & Capital Planning — AI-driven reserve fund modeling forecasts long-term capital expenditures with precision, ensuring communities are financially prepared for every major repair and replacement on the horizon.
• Real Estate Investment Analysis — Data-backed ROI modeling, cash flow projections, and market trend analysis so buyers and investors make confident, well-informed decisions.
• Regulatory & Law Analysis — AI-assisted monitoring of WUCIOA, Seattle rental regulations, and HOA governance law — keeping boards compliant, protected, and ahead of regulatory changes.

The result: boards that lead with confidence, residents who feel supported, and communities that hold their value for the long term.
