Rosalynn Rust

Seattle Real Estate Broker  |  Property Manager  |  HOA Expert  |  Short-Term Rental Specialist

Rosalynn Rust is a Seattle-based real estate broker, HOA manager, and short-term rental specialist with 10 years of experience helping buyers, sellers, investors, and homeowner communities throughout the Puget Sound region. What truly sets Roz apart is simple: her support doesn’t end at closing. She is a lifelong resource for every client she serves — available for property management guidance, renovation advice, contractor referrals, and ongoing support for as long as you own your home.

Real Estate Sales & Short-Term Rental Investment

Whether you’re buying your first home, searching for the ideal investment property, or looking to maximize returns on a short-term rental, Roz has the market expertise and hands-on experience to guide you. She serves buyers and sellers across Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Hood Canal, and the broader Puget Sound area.

As a short-term rental investor herself — owning and operating a luxury Airbnb on Hood Canal’s Lilliwaup Bay since 2017 — Roz brings real-world STR insight that no classroom can teach. She knows how to identify the right property, set it up to command premium rates, curate the guest experience, and manage operations efficiently to protect your returns. Her clients benefit from a proven blueprint built on personal experience.

HOA Management: 25 Communities, Zero Guesswork

Rosalynn co-manages 25 homeowners associations across the Seattle metro area — including a multimillion-dollar 24-unit community in the Edmonds Bowl, a luxury condominium on Lake Union, and high-end townhome communities in Bothell. Her portfolio spans Tukwila, Seattle, Shoreline, Edmonds, Bothell, and Lynnwood.

She is a recognized expert in WUCIOA and Seattle rental law, and brings deep practical knowledge of community maintenance, large-scale capital projects, regulatory compliance, and the interpersonal dynamics of governing a neighborhood of friends and neighbors. Boards trust Roz to protect their community’s financial health and keep residents informed, supported, and proud of where they live.

Your Agent. Your Partner. For Life.

Roz’s career began with 21 years in Seattle’s hospitality industry — working alongside James Beard Award-winning chefs and earning a loyal following built entirely on exceptional service. That foundation drives everything she does in real estate: anticipate every need, exceed every expectation, and never stop showing up for the people who trust you.

She has personally transformed every property she has owned — from interior design to landscaping — giving her a genuine eye for potential that directly benefits her clients. And over 10 years, she has carefully curated a network of licensed, bonded, and insured contractors — plumbers, electricians, roofers, cleaners, and general contractors — who deliver quality work at competitive rates because they know Roz’s portfolio means consistent, long-term opportunity.
