I'm an investor
Deals that actually pencil, found and judged by someone who buys, fixes and sells in Western Washington.
Jody McNamer
Honest guidance for your home, your money, your business and your family.
For 28 years I’ve helped people make confident decisions. I’ll always tell you the truth — even when it costs me the deal.
How can I help you?
Find your door
Pick the one that sounds like you. Each starts with something free, so you get real value before you ever pay me a dollar.
I'm buying or selling a home
A written plan on real numbers, and the truth about what your home is worth — even when it's not what you hoped.
I'm a VA or military family
VA-fluent representation and VA loan guidance, with the house and the financing under one roof.
I'm a real estate agent
Coaching from someone who still lists and sells — or join my team, McNamer Properties, and build with me directly.
I need more leads
Campaigns built and run by an agent who still uses them. We only take clients we believe can win.
I'm a loan officer
Stop chasing agents. Build real relationships with the agents you serve, inside an agent-connected network.
I love someone with autism
Answers from a family that lives it. My son Tyler and I share what has worked for us — and what hasn't.
My promise to you
Four things you can hold me to
Honesty
I'll tell you what is true, especially when it costs me.
Integrity
Your interest comes before my commission. Every time.
Consistency
The same standard on a starter condo or a $2M home.
Confidence
28 years and both sides of 2008. You won't be guessing.
How it works
Four steps, in this order, every time
- 01
Connect
A real conversation about where you are and where you want to go. No pressure, no jargon, no forty-slide deck.
- 02
Plan
A clear, written plan built around your goals, your timeline and your actual numbers — including what it costs if you do nothing.
- 03
Execute
The marketing, the negotiation, the underwriting, the paperwork. Heavy lifting on my side, updates on yours.
- 04
Grow
The relationship doesn’t end at the keys or the contract. Most of my new business today comes from people I helped years ago — that’s who I want to be for you too.

Twenty-eight years, counted honestly
- 28+
- Years in Washington real estate
- 500+

In their words
What people actually said
Real words from home buyers and sellers, and from parents, grandparents, teachers and professionals who have worked with Tyler and me.
“Paraissance Realty is unparalleled in their ability to sell homes. My home sold in the first week for full price. There was a bidding war. If you need to sell a home, list it with Paraissance. They sell homes, not list homes.”

“I called all of the major brokerages. All of the majors are generalists. Paraissance is a specialist! They negotiated the best deal for me. They were totally on top of it and in touch with me.”

“I have sold several properties in the past, but I have never worked with a firm that is as professional and communicative. I always knew what was going on with my sale, and they made sure that I got top dollar for my property.”

“I must say this was a great way to help the lay person understand IEP processes. They can be overwhelming, and when you are one across the table from many others it can be intimidating. I wish I had seen this before. Thanks to Dad and Tyler.”

“My son is 25. I read your book and was so inspired. I have read many books on autism, and reading one from a person who has it gave an inside view of what it is really like. It moved me in such a way I looked at my son differently.”

The man behind it
Who you’d be working with
I’m Jody. Before I’m a broker or a coach, I’m these four things. They are the reason I can make you the promises above.
Father
My son Tyler taught me more than any business ever has. AutismWorks is our work together.
Man of truth
Just say what is. If a deal doesn't work, I'll tell you — even when it costs me the deal.
Health
Daily workouts, no alcohol, and real recovery. Discipline is how I keep my promises.
Faith
A daily spiritual routine keeps me grounded and pointed at serving people, not just transactions.
Ways I can serve you
Five businesses, one standard of care
Meet the five businesses. One conversation away — whatever you need, we’ve got someone who’s already done it.
01McNamer Real Estate
Buy or sell with a broker who has worked every market.
Twenty-eight years, 500+ transactions, and both sides of the 2008 crash. Jody works with VA and military households, first-time buyers, sellers, seniors downsizing, distressed and FSBO situations, and investors across Kitsap, King, Pierce and Thurston Counties.
- Listing strategy and pricing built on comparable evidence, not hope
- VA-fluent representation for military households
02One Real Mortgage
Financing without the runaround.
Get pre-approved, understand what your payment actually is, and put your VA benefits to work. Because the loan and the listing sit under one roof, there are fewer handoffs between the offer and the keys — and fewer surprises three days before closing.
- Pre-approval that a listing agent will take seriously
- VA loan guidance for military households
03Agent Broker Coach
Coaching that builds a business, not just a busy month.
Tools, scripts and weekly guidance for agents and loan officers who want a business that still stands when the market turns. Includes the Certified Investor Agent program and the Go/No-Go deal calculator.
- Certified Investor Agent program
- The Go/No-Go calculator for sizing a deal in minutes
04Done For You Leads
Predictable pipeline for agents who would rather list than chase.
Campaigns built, launched and managed for you, so the calendar fills with conversations instead of cold calls. Built by an operator who still lists and sells — not by a vendor guessing at what agents need.
- Buyer and seller campaigns built and run for you
- Follow-up sequences that keep leads warm
05AutismWorks
Lived experience turned into a plan families can use.
Co-founded with his son Tyler McNamer — published author of Population: ONE and Becoming ONE — AutismWorks makes the day-to-day more manageable for individuals with autism and the people who love them. Have fun, be nice, do good.
- Autism, Answered — a video series with Tyler and Jody
- Books and speaking from a published author with autism
