Building Seattle for Generations

Sam Brace, owner and founder of Brace Development, was born and raised in Seattle and has over 30 years of experience in the construction industry.  From 1888, when his great grandfather John Stewart Brace operated the Brace/Hergert Mill Company at the south end of Lake Union, to the creation of Brace Development in 1986, the Brace name has always carried pride and quality that lasts for generations.

The Buying Process

Because of its long-standing contacts with financing institutions, real estate and closing agents, we are able to ensure that every step of the process moves smoothly from the first site visit to well beyond move-in.  To enhance the process, company owner Sam Brace personally walks through with each buyer to answer questions and introduce the features of the home.
