I’m Joie Gowan, Managing Broker and Premier Director with Windermere. I’ve been a full-time broker since 1988, guiding buyers and sellers across Seattle and the East Side through changing markets. My clients range from first-time buyers to luxury properties, and I tailor strategy to your goals, timeline, and communication style.
Today, I’m proud to work alongside my daughter, Lizzy Gowan. Lizzy began as my licensed assistant and has grown into a full-time broker and trusted partner. Together, we bring a collaborative approach that combines decades of experience with fresh perspective and energy—ensuring our clients receive exceptional service and support at every step.
You can expect hands-on guidance, smart pricing strategies, and marketing that highlights what makes your home stand out. During negotiations, we advocate with a calm, data-informed approach designed to keep you confident and on track from offer to closing.
As Seattle natives, we bring deep local knowledge across neighborhoods and property types. We’re also committed to community, serving through the Windermere Foundation, which supports housing and community programs in the areas we serve.
If you’re considering a move, we’re here to help you navigate your options and make a well-informed decision.

With a strong eye for detail and a devoted spirit, Lizzy Gowan navigates high stress environments with ease. Regarded for her approachable demeanor and ability to truly connect with clients, she multi-tasks and generates creative solutions to the various problems the real estate industry presents.
A Seattle native and second-generation real estate professional, Lizzy Gowan spent much of her early years steeped in the edification of the real estate market alongside her mother, Joie Gowan. Following her graduation from Central Washington University where she majored in Sociology, Lizzy worked in the Title and Escrow industry. This background dovetails perfectly with her current role and strengthens her ability to expertly guide clients through the rigorous transaction process.
Lizzy is proud to work in partnership with Joie and together they pride themselves on offering their clients the very best in service and expertise.
