Land acknowledgement

I respectfully acknowledge that my residence is occupied on Coast Salish land and on the homelands of the Duwamish people. I pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous people. To acknowledge this land is to recognize the history of physical and cultural genocide and settler colonialism, which continues to displace Indigenous people today.

As a regenerative realtor and yoga teacher, I aim to transform your perception of homeownership. Prioritizing financial education, I emphasize the holistic connection between the physical home and body. Viewing real estate as unique spaces, not commodities, I advocate responsible stewardship, engaging with communities and addressing housing affordability.

Haley Rae Derge, raised near the Great Lakes in rural Wisconsin, spent summers fishing and camping in the North Woods.

As the first in her family to attend college, she carried the hopes of her loved ones. Her father, Dean Derge, started his own ornamental ironworks business at 16, following in the footsteps of his father, Lloyd Derge, married to Evelyn. Haley Rae's mother, Patricia Hartmann, daughter of Shirley and Frank Hartmann, found joy in raising Haley Rae and her brother, Macaulay.

After earning a degree in Real Estate and Urban Land Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Haley Rae embarked on a purposeful career, specializing in affordable housing through historic restoration. While fulfilling, it exposed the limitations of a profit-focused system. After two years, she courageously shifted her career towards a more intimate, wellness-focused approach, desiring closer connections with clients in person.

In 2018 Haley Rae embarked on a transformative journey by becoming a yoga teacher.

After her 200-hour teacher training, she delved into mindful movement, experiencing personal growth and sparking a broader societal question: How can we integrate various aspects of our lives to foster well-being and mutual support?

This led Haley Rae to make a community impact in yoga studios, corporate offices, and wellness workshops. The pandemic compelled her to shift her in-person work, driving her to obtain her Washington Realtor License in 2021. Eager to incorporate wellness principles into her real estate career, she encountered skepticism from industry professionals. In 2022, she found her way to Latitude Regenerative Real Estate—a fortuitous match that validated her choice to trust her instincts over skeptics. This mindset now shapes her approach with real estate clients, emphasizing honesty and transparent communication in her work.

Envisioning future communities where neighbors know and support each other, Haley aims to rekindle the value of connectedness and belonging, especially in a bustling city like Seattle.

Haley Rae admires pocket neighborhoods, championing community empowerment. Influenced by "Eviction" by Matthew Desmond, set near her hometown of Kewaskum, she's driven to address the injustices revealed, intensifying her commitment to making a difference in real estate.

For Haley Rae, regeneration extends beyond real estate, shaping her daily practice of caring for both body and mind, fostering continuous growth and self-improvement. Particularly passionate about working with first-time homebuyers, she enjoys guiding them creatively toward househacking and homeownership/stewardship.

Understanding the profound emotions tied to buying and selling homes, Haley empathizes with the rollercoaster of feelings. Her childhood experience of witnessing her family home for sale during her parents' divorce fueled her desire to be a pillar of support for others in life-changing transitions.

With each step, Haley Rae Derge is determined to weave wellness, regeneration, and mindful connection into her life and work, leaving a lasting impact. Her tale of hope, perseverance, and transformation continues, forever intertwining her passion for real estate with the essence of her being.

First Time Home Buyer

“Haley went above and beyond all expectations. As a first time buyer, she walked me through every detail, picked up every phone call, was extremely patient with my repeated questions, and most importantly - reminded me to breathe. She was tentative throughout the entire process, from our initial phone call to after closing. I was hesitant and nervous about buying a home, but Haley truly calmed all my nerves time and time again with her knowledge about the process and comforting demeanor. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor!”

Above & Beyond

“Haley was so good at advocating for us as buyers. We had a particularly sticky situation with regard to information sharing about HOAs for the property we bought that took quite a bit of back and forth. Haley went above and beyond to ensure we had the answers to all of our questions of which there were many. She was also very familiar with West Seattle which was important to us in our search. I would recommend Haley for any real estate needs.”
– Linda & Joe Castillo
Empowering

“Haley was calm and collected during the whole process. She aptly balanced the importance of time in the decision making process while giving us room to feel secure. As first time buyers, she empowered us with independence in navigating documents. She was generous with her time, offering to meet for a tour despite personal travel plans and making herself available for phone calls on the weekend.”
– Lillian Hollyday
Grounded

“Haley does a wonderful job holding space for the emotional intensity of the experience of buying a home. We felt supported and never pressured or stressed by any of our interactions. She was composed, gave meaningful suggestions, and made us feel grounded throughout the process. She was clear about what she was able to do for us and what was ultimately our responsibility to figure out in our decision making process. We learned a ton working together!”
– Elan Green
Dream

“Our experience working with Haley has been so wonderful. My husband and I were looking to move from Wisconsin to Tennessee. Even though Haley was in Washington, I knew from prior conversations that she was able to work over states to help connect us with a realtor in the area we were looking to move. Haley was able to connect us with a wonderful team in Tennessee. We got to know this team via Zoom and phone calls and had the best experience. Haley continued to check in throughout the process, asking how things were going and if she could help in any way. Whether you are looking to move across town or to another state, I would highly recommend reaching out to Haley to help assist you in your move. Haley, truly helped my husband and I take the steps to make our dream our reality. Thank you so much Haley!!!!
