My entire professional life has been committed to serving others. I spent nearly four decades in the “people business” as a pastor, serving over 23 years as the Lead Pastor of Alderwood Community Church in Lynnwood. In 2021 I helped launch the Alderwood Compassion Center, which meets the needs of hundreds of our Lynnwood neighbors each week with food, dental services, and medical care. I have also traveled overseas multiple times on mission trips, working with teams, meeting people’s needs through medical and dental services as well as construction projects and educational services.
The first thing most people recognize in me is my passion and positive energy. I am a good listener and committed to focusing my energy on serving my client’s needs. I tend to quickly earn people’s trust because of clear and honest communication, my diligent work ethic and my commitment to absolute integrity.
I have lived in Lynnwood for over 26 years with my wife, Kay. We have 3 married daughters and 8 grandchildren who all live close by. We are blessed!!! When not serving my clients, I enjoy bike riding, lifting weights, Pickleball and playing with my grandkids.
“Look no further, Brad is the best choice to represent you in your real estate transaction. We interviewed many agents and could not have been happier with our decision to work with Brad to sell our home. The advice and personal service he provided went above and beyond our greatest expectations. Brad was immediately responsive, helpful, courteous, and enthusiastic about finding the right buyer for our home. He has an abundance of resources and contacts that he leverages to provide additional value in a competitive market.
Brad was able to help us better understand our property's value, bring the right buyer to the table and expertly handle the negotiations. He provided timelines so we knew what to expect through the process and worked hard to remove much of the stress and unknowns involved with selling a property. We were under a tight budget and timeline to get our home sold, and he got it done!”
- Drew & Christina, Sellers
“As first-time home buyers we didn’t know what we didn’t know. Brad informed us on the market, the home buying process, the ins and outs of making offers, etc. He took his time to thoroughly explain every detail to us and didn’t make us feel like we were rushed or a burden for asking questions. In the end we found our home after ~5 months. Which is amazing in this market! Brad was FANTASTIC at communicating with the selling agents to get as much information as possible to help us put in a strong and competitive offer(s). We are so thankful to have worked with Brad."
- Kevin and Emilee, Buyers
“Working with Brad to sell my home was absolutely one of the best decisions I've ever made. The largest transaction of my life, so many unknowns; it was important to choose an agent who was competent and committed. Brad blew those expectations away.
He answered every question (sometimes multiple times) in an easy-going, educated manner. He was never impatient or upset, even when I thought things were stressful. He came up with multiple solutions to problems seemingly overnight. If he didn't know an answer 100%, he'd always get back to me in a very short time after he'd verified the info. He had no issue "rolling his sleeves" up and getting down to work when necessary. He has a plethora of contacts that slashed some of the costs I expected. His estimates were almost exact in the end. It was shocking honestly.
Brad's bottomless kindness, patient countenance, pragmatic problem-solving skills, business knowledge, and his personal support and care during the sale was (and still feels) overwhelming. I am so thankful he was my agent, and I highly encourage you to choose him to assist with your real estate transactions. You will be impressed!”

"I recently worked with Brad McConnaughey to buy an investment property in Edmonds and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the beginning, Brad was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. He took the time to understand my very specific needs and goals, and provided valuable insights and recommendations throughout the process. He also went above and beyond to negotiate a great deal on our behalf.
In addition to his expertise in real estate, my agent was also a pleasure to work with. Since this was my investment property and me being out of town, I initially had fears of how the purchase process would go through. But Brad made it completely possible and made me feel very comfortable throughout the process. Be it with recommending a local inspection agent, finding a handyman to get some minor repairs done to the property, Brad was always there and got things done in time. He was very patient, friendly, and always available to answer my questions. He made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.”
- Chaitanya, Buyer
“Brad is the hardest working, most reliable realtor I have ever worked with. I've bought and sold dozens of properties and can tell you that Brad is the best. He went the extra mile time after time. I was out of town during most of the prep and listing period. No worries, Brad took care of everything with attention to every detail, and communicated so well with me during the whole process. Next time I buy or sell, I'm calling Brad!”
- Tim, Seller
“Brad is an excellent buyer's agent! As a first-time home buyers, he made the process very easy to navigate. He is proactive, thoughtful, detail-oriented, kind, creative, and an excellent communicator. We were looking for a home during a very competitive time, and lost out on a handful of offers before finding our home. Nevertheless, Brad was optimistic, patient, and determined to find us the right home. When our offer was accepted, Brad negotiated favorable terms for us. We're lucky to have found Brad!”
