Waterfront Specialist – Bainbridge Island & Kitsap County

Find the Home — and the Shoreline — You’ll Love

There’s something magical about living on the water — the still mornings, the salt air, the sense of calm. But buying or selling a waterfront home isn’t like any other real estate transaction. It requires local knowledge, niche expertise, and careful navigation of shoreline rules, permits, and property value nuances.

I’m Tamara Tobler, your Bainbridge Island and Kitsap County Waterfront Specialist. With over 20 years of housing experience and a deep understanding of our local coastline, I help clients confidently navigate waterfront real estate — from Bainbridge to Kingston, Poulsbo, and beyond.


Why Work with a Waterfront Specialist?

  • Deep Local Insight: Not all waterfront is created equal. I guide you through shoreline types — bluff, low-bank, tidal, dock-access, and more.
  • Strategic Valuation: Waterfront pricing requires expertise in view corridors, bulkhead condition, erosion risk, and deeded water rights.
  • Permits & Regulations: Shoreline Management Act rules can affect your remodel plans, dock usage, or additions — I help you ask the right questions before you buy or sell.

Waterfront Areas I Specialize In:

  • Point Monroe – Iconic sand spit with 360° views
  • Manzanita Bay – West-facing sunsets & dock properties
  • Pleasant Beach – South-end beauty near shops & restaurants
  • Port Madison – Secluded luxury on the north end
  • Rockaway Beach – Bluff-top views of Seattle & Rainier
  • Kingston Shoreline – Ferry convenience with natural privacy
  • Poulsbo Waterfront – Fjord-style setting with historic charm

“She priced our waterfront home perfectly and marketed it like a dream — drone video, lifestyle branding, and strategic timing. We accepted an offer in under a week.” – James T., Poulsbo seller
