Your Seattle and San Francisco Bay Area real estate experts. As Realtors with eXp Realty — the largest independent and fastest-growing brokerage in the world — we help buyers and sellers navigate these markets with ease. With deep roots in Seattle and the Bay Area, these aren’t just places we work — they’re home.
We’re Torben and Alicia Yjord-Jackson — a husband-and-wife team combining real estate expertise with a passion for design and lifestyle. As full-time REALTORS® with eXp Realty, we guide clients through buying, selling, and leasing in Washington and California, with a focus on Seattle, Marin, San Francisco, and Napa/Sonoma.

We don't just sell homes — we elevate them. We stage every listing we take on at no cost to our clients, and we invest in thoughtful marketing that showcases both the property and the lifestyle. In a way that sets our listings apart. From first homes to forever homes, and from investment properties to vacation getaways, we bring deep market knowledge, creative strategies, and a hands-on approach to every transaction.
In addition to our work as REALTORS®, we're also real estate investors and developers. We've been on both sides of the deal — buying, selling, renovating, and managing a diverse range of properties, including primary residences, short-term rentals, multifamily buildings, self-storage facilities, and new construction projects.

In addition to our work as REALTORS®, we're also real estate investors and developers. We've been on both sides of the deal — buying, selling, renovating, and managing a diverse range of properties, including primary residences, short-term rentals, multifamily buildings, self-storage facilities, and new construction projects. We've even built single-family homes from the ground up, giving us a unique understanding of what adds value — and how to position it. That firsthand experience allows us to offer sharper insights, stronger negotiations, and a level of strategic guidance most agents simply can't provide. Whether you're building a portfolio or selling a signature property, we bring the same dedication, transparency, and care to every step of the process.
The paws behind the operation — and the friendliest dog you’ll ever meet — Tuna is our heart. We often joke she’s running for Mayor, thanks to her effortless way of connecting with people and dogs. Her favorite pastimes? Chasing the incoming waves at Rodeo Beach in Marin and meeting up with friends for outdoor yoga classes at Gas Works Park in Seattle.
For the past three summers, we’ve explored the magic of the Pacific Northwest — first aboard our 40' Tollycraft and now our 48' Hatteras. From the San Juan Islands to Desolation Sound, every trip reminds us how special this corner of the world is — and how easy it is to reach from Seattle.
Torben grew up sailing out of the San Francisco Yacht Club, where we’re still active members today. Whenever we can, you’ll find us on our J-boat, soaking in the Bay views, a boat Torben fully restored and customized with his closest childhood friend many years ago. We’re also members of the Queen City Yacht Club in Seattle, giving us the best of both worlds.
When we’re not on the water, we’re exploring the outdoors — RVing through the PNW or hiking in Lake Tahoe. One of our most memorable adventures was reaching the summit of Mt. Whitney. At 14,505ft elevation, its a hike we’ll never forget.
We’ve been part of the Sausalito Lighted Boat Parade for over a decade, and it’s one of our favorite community traditions. Alicia even serves on the event committee, lending her skills in social media and marketing to help it shine. This celebration means so much to us that we scheduled our wedding around it — true story!
Together for 12 years, we got married in Seattle in December 2021 — beautiful, a little cold, and exactly how we wanted it. This city has played such a big role in our lives, both personally and professionally, that it felt like the perfect place to tie the knot.
We love how dog-friendly Seattle is — because in our opinion, there’s nothing better than meeting new dogs and new friends. So we thought, why not combine our favorite things? That’s how the Seattle Dog Club was born. Our first meet-up brought together more than 18 dogs, and continues to grow. We’re busy planning even more gatherings to keep the tails wagging.
Whether it’s a local classic car meet-up or a leisurely drive through town, we love spending time in our vintage rides. Torben often daily drives a 57 Oldsmobile when the weather is right. The photo above was captured by a friend on one of those drives in Mill Valley, CA (Thanks, Mr. Lewis!). Our passion for all things classic even finds its way into our work — we’ve featured our cars in property videos to add a touch of history, character, and help make a listing more memorable.
