Real estate is about discovering a lifestyle that reflects who you are and how you want to live. For Yvonne Welty, that’s where every client journey begins. As a trusted real estate advisor with Engel & Völkers and a well-established Puget Sound expert, Yvonne guides her clients with purpose, clarity, and heart.

“Helping people align their life with where and how they want to live—that’s what drives me,” she shares. “It’s about listening, understanding their goals, and confidently guiding them toward that next chapter.”

Yvonne’s reputation is built on strong community ties and a commitment to excellence, especially in Gig Harbor real estate. She brings perspective and purpose to every stage—helping young couples start fresh or walking alongside someone letting go of a home filled with memories. Rooted in faith, family, and community, Yvonne leads with integrity, transparency, and care, offering a grounded experience built on trust and genuine connection.

Backed by the globally respected Engel & Völkers brand, Yvonne delivers a standard of service rooted in experience and listening. Whether helping a boating family find their waterfront home or empty nesters seeking walkability to some of the best waterfront eateries in town, Yvonne focuses on how people live, not just where.

She is a trusted connector and strong advocate for her clients, and she has helped people throughout the Pacific Northwest live their best lives. From Puget Sound to beyond, people trust her to serve as a hyperlocal expert and a referral advisor, ready to meet them wherever life may lead.

Her lifestyle knowledge is lived, not learned. For over 25 years, Yvonne and her husband have built their lives in the Gig Harbor area. With two kids in college and one a USAF veteran beginning his aviation career, family time is often spent on the water—boating, paddling, or enjoying sunset views on the deck. “Time on the water brings a calm that’s hard to find elsewhere,” she shares.

These moments, grounded in gratitude, are the essence of what she calls Salt Life Refined—a lifestyle of calm, belonging, and purpose along the water.

That profound understanding of lifestyle translates into a passion for the community she serves. She lights up talking about harbor walks at sunset, live summer music at Skansie Park, or grabbing coffee at one of her favorite cafés in downtown Gig Harbor. She’s made memories at the Maritime Gig Parade, catching candy with her kids, and still remembers the smell of burnt popcorn in the old Olympic Drive movie theater where they spent countless weekends.

Yvonne often takes clients on waterfront boat tours to showcase the region from the water’s perspective. Seeing their excitement grow reminds her why she loves what she does—and where she does it. Helping others fall in love with the waterfront lifestyle is a joy she never takes for granted.

Her commitment to the community runs deep. Yvonne actively supports veterans and first responders—not just with words but with meaningful action. From appreciation events and snack drop-offs at local departments to collaborating with nonprofits that give back, she finds creative ways to show gratitude. Putting others first has long been a core value, reflected in how she serves, supports, and shows up for those who serve.

“People remember how they felt along the way,” Yvonne says. “That’s why I lead with heart.” She listens, follows through, and stays connected long after the closing. It may be prepping a home for the market, helping adult children buy their first home, or guiding parents relocating across the country—every step is marked by personal attention and trusted support.

Clients quickly discover that Yvonne is more than an advisor—she’s a trusted partner. She stays informed, studies trends, and prioritizes relationships over convenience. She often receives travel selfies from clients in front of Engel & Völkers shops around the world—proof of the trust they place in her and the brand she represents.

Whether someone dreams of a walkable waterfront community, trading up to a home that fits their next chapter, or simply exploring what’s possible, Yvonne is the kind of local expert who listens with heart and delivershttp://yvonnewelty.re with clarity. “Let’s have a conversation that sets the tone for what’s next.” –Yvonne
