LUXURY ADVISOR - REALTOR® | Broker SRES Sr 50+ Specialist and RENE Real Estate Negotiation Certified

• Meet Claudia Gentzkow—a full time licensed Broker, Realtor®, and business owner with Windermere Professional Partners, uniquely positioned in the heart of Gig Harbor’s vibrant downtown waterfront community. This is just one of seven offices owned by Professional Partners, all working together and dedicated to serving the southern Puget Sound region.

A Pacific Northwest native, she earned her degree in Interior Architecture from the University of Oregon and spent 15 years designing for two of Portland’s premier architectural firms. Her career peaked at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, where she held various roles in global image design and retail marketing initiatives.

One breathtaking day, with Mount Rainier shining across miles of sparkling water, she fell head over heels for this area. She married her soulmate, and together they’ve happily called Fox Island home since 1999. After beginning their family she sought less travel and discovered a true passion for real estate—the perfect next chapter.

Her exceptional experience in design, negotiation, and project management gives her a clear edge in client advocacy. Since 2000, she has expertly guided buyers and sellers throughout the region, cultivating a trusted network of professional resources and fellow agents. Having once been the “newcomer” in this historic, multi-generational community, she is especially passionate about helping relocating families plant roots quickly and feel instantly at home and connected.

Having designed and built a luxury home on the water locally, she is keenly aware of all the agencies involved to get multi million projects accomplished. When serving clients purchasing and selling homes with docks, bulkheads, geo technical, septic and well challenges she has a vetted book of individuals for consulting. She continually seeks education to understand the latest and ever changing nuances of codes and compliance so her clients can best make decisions whether they will be purchasing or preparing to sell.

Her clients’ best interests always come first. She operates with unwavering ethics, honesty, and a “never quit” spirit, delivering the smoothest, most financially advantageous real estate experience possible—whether purchasing a vacation retreat or a forever home.

She’s saltwater-obsessed and will to you that she's fortunate to live where it’s everywhere. Over the years she’s resided on the water, beside it, and above it—ensuring her clients always enjoy effortless access to our stunning marine playground.

When she’s not working, she can be found supporting local community programs from the Fish Food Bank, The NW Furniture Bank, E-Cycle programs, and more. You can find her recharging with family, friends, paddling her outrigger canoe, stand-up paddleboarding, or hitting the golf course and yes pickleball has just been added to the list. 

Whether you’re buying or selling, your win begins the moment she introduces you and fiercely negotiates on your behalf from start to close.

Her greatest joy is guiding clients and friends successfully through every season of homeownership. She firmly believes luxury comes in all shapes, sizes, and life stages—and she’s committed to making yours extraordinary.
