About McConnell Group
A Seattle real estate team that knows the water is its own market.
McConnell Group is a team brokered by Real Broker LLC
I'm Sean McConnell. I founded McConnell Group in Seattle with my wife Nicolette in 2017. I'm also a U.S. Navy veteran.
I built this site because buying on the water is different from buying a house on land. The moorage can matter as much as the home. Only a few lenders offer these loans. A standard homeowners policy will not cover you. And the rules depend on which of four legal types you are considering.
I want you to understand all of that before a view from the deck makes the decision for you. My team and I help you see the full monthly cost, identify the right lender and insurer early, and review the dock documents before you commit. For sellers, we prepare those documents early so buyers can move forward.
