BigDogRealty.com was founded in 1998, and was one of the first Real Estate websites to exist in the State of Washington.
Created with the goal of providing distinctive and memorable marketing for client properties, in an online environment that was just beginning to boom, the website has achieved its goal of being an easy place to go to see a specific property represented by the Team at BigDogRealty.com.
Good question! We brainstormed many different possibilities before launching. Being one of the very first real estate web sites in the region meant we had the “pick of the litter” in terms of a name.
We threw a few names into the hat referencing the region; names like PacificNWRealty and SeattleHomes&Land, but they all seemed boring in comparison to BigDogRealty.
We even conducted a market survey of about 25 clients and colleagues asking them to vote on the name. In the end, the survey agreed and the website was launched with the name BigDogRealty.
Our original mascot was an old-soul named Charlie Brown. Those who knew us in the early days will remember that Charlie Brown was a dachshund who thought he was a big dog!
This seemed appropriate since the term Big Dog is defined as “a notably prominent, important, or powerful person, organization, etc.” according to Merriam-Webster.
The name stuck, and our brand image quickly became associated with many prominent high-end properties and homes.
Our logo contains a coat of arms seal, and marketing materials often include gold embossed foil. Achieving a luxury brand with a “wiener dog” was no easy feat, but it worked because the brand is memorable.
Although we have handled many multi-million dollar record sales for our clients, we love to work with people in all price ranges.
We have been playing in the “Big Leagues” for over 25 years, but our hearts’ desire is to treat all people (and dogs) as equal and important, no matter their size.
Our Team has set an extraordinary number of new price records for unusual properties around the State of Washington, yet we are equally happy when a first-time home buyer utilizes our expertise.
