Neda Perrina's parents immigrated to the United States ahead of the Iranian Revolution in 1979, carrying nothing more than a resilient spirit and steadfast purpose. Their determination took them far—her father earned a Ph.D. at Vanderbilt University and her mother a master’s degree at David Lipscomb University—all while raising Neda and her sister in Nashville, Tennessee. The family later relocated to Ohio, where Neda experienced classic suburbia life: family picnics, bike rides, country music, and a community that looked out for one another. Those formative years, defined by perseverance and love, taught her to value family and connection. “We didn’t have much growing up, but my parents made us feel like we had the world,” Neda recalled. “Their example taught me that hard work isn’t optional.”

At the University of Cincinnati, Neda earned her bachelor's degree in psychology after initially pursuing a pharmacy degree. “If you grew up in an Iranian household, you’d understand the pressure to go into medicine,” she joked. But four years as a pharmacy intern revealed her true passion lay elsewhere. That realization led her to Seattle, where she built a dynamic career spanning recruiting, sales, and business development—sharpening her skills in negotiation, client care, and leadership. By 2017, Neda was ready to utilize those skills elsewhere after the travel demands of corporate sales grew unsustainable while her children were little. Real estate offered her both the balance and purpose she’d been searching for. 

“My sister had been a successful realtor for 15 years and had always told me to give it a try,” said Neda. “Around that same time, a friend was selling her condo, so I used that as my opportunity to test the waters.” What began as a practical career shift quickly grew into a passion for excellence that would come to define her distinction in the real estate world. When the time came to choose a brokerage, Neda sought alignment with the best—a firm offering unparalleled marketing, presence, and prestige. Realogics Sotheby’s checked every box. “Their global reach ensured my clients received the exposure and resources they deserved, and their approach to luxury aligned perfectly with my professional values,” Neda explained. 

Though Neda’s real estate career started in Seattle, she and her husband began considering a move to the Eastside after COVID’s onset in early 2020. “After visiting friends in Bellevue, I immediately felt it was the right place for our family,” shared Neda. “There’s something magical about Bellevue—the top-rated schools, the charming neighborhoods with captivating views, the beautiful parks and waterfront areas.” Around that same time, Realogics Sotheby’s was opening its Bellevue office on Main Street—offering Neda a spot as a founding member. “Though I started real estate in an individual role, my love for leadership never left, so I naturally gravitated back into leading and mentoring a team,” she shared. “It’s been so rewarding to serve Bellevue while still maintaining my Seattle business—allowing me to serve clients on both sides of Lake Washington with the highest caliber of service.”

While many associate Sotheby’s with ultra-luxury listings, they represent properties at all price points across thousands of markets worldwide—offering white-glove service to every client. Realogics Sotheby’s delivers local knowledge with international reach, giving Neda’s clients the best of both worlds: access to international clients, foreign-market exposure, and trusted referral relationships with top brokers worldwide. When marketing a property, Neda combines local and global strategy—targeted outreach, staging, PR visibility, international syndication, and connections across buyer networks. She also stays current on neighborhood trends, schools, zoning, and future developments. 

Neda’s philosophy centers on ethics, trust, and relationships—doing what’s right, staying transparent, and creating lasting client and colleague partnerships. She also prioritizes a client-first mindset—meeting each person exactly where they are. “I work with an incredible team that helps make all this possible,” shared Neda. Her support network includes a marketing team, top-tier photographers/videographers, a transaction coordinator, multiple staging partners, and a social media strategist. Looking ahead, Neda continues to inspire impact across the real estate industry—championing integrity, innovation, and a standard of service that reaches Bellevue and beyond. 

As the region evolves under new zoning legislation like HB 1110, Neda helps clients navigate changing opportunities in formerly single-family neighborhoods—empowering sellers to think long-term and buyers to explore new entry points in sought-after areas. Her clients appreciate her direct, proactive, and results-driven approach, including strong relationships with top brokers that ensure smoother negotiations and seamless transactions. 

Deeply rooted in West Bellevue, where she’s raising her family, Neda finds purpose in giving back to the community she calls home. Grounded in integrity and driven by excellence, she continues to shape a legacy defined not just by success but by meaningful impact.
