What We Do

Seattle ADU Specialists

Welcome to Urban Cottage - the Seattle real estate group specializing in Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Led by founder Gary Olmeim, our team is driven by the value that ADUs can bring to a property. If you're looking to sell, we'll help you market your property with ADUs in mind; if you're looking to purchase, we can help you find a property with an ADU - or the potential for one. We're even uniquely equipped to advise you in the building process. Whatever your dream, we can help you navigate the Seattle real estate market and the exciting new landscape that ADUs present.
