Spokane's Trusted Husband-and-Wife Real Estate Team
Nellie and Larry are a husband-and-wife real estate team helping families across North Spokane, Spokane Valley, and the Inland Northwest buy, sell, and move up with confidence. With over five years selling Spokane real estate, 10+ years of sales and contract negotiation experience, and nearly 100 homes sold, we know what it takes to get you home.
Why Spokane Families Choose The Smith Team
We're Nellie and Larry Smith — a husband-and-wife real estate team serving Spokane, Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, North Spokane, Mead, Colbert, Deer Park, and the surrounding Inland Northwest. Nellie has been a licensed Spokane Realtor since 2021 and has helped nearly 100 families buy and sell homes, with over a decade of prior sales and negotiation experience. Larry joined Nellie full-time as a licensed agent after building his own decade-long career in sales, customer relationships, and negotiation — bringing a fresh perspective and an extra set of dedicated hands to every client we serve.
What we specialize in:
Simultaneous Buy-and-Sell Moves. Selling your current home while buying your next one is one of the most stressful transactions in real estate. We coordinate both sides of the move — pricing, timing, contingencies, and negotiations — so you never feel stuck between two homes.
North Spokane, Acreage & Luxury Estate Homes. With a growing focus on Wandermere, Camelot, Colbert, Mead, and Deer Park, we love helping clients buy and sell larger homes, land, and acreage properties throughout the North Spokane area.
First-Time Home Buyer Education. Nellie is a certified instructor for the Washington State Housing Finance Commission (WSHFC) homebuyer education seminars, helping first-time buyers earn the certificate needed to access down payment assistance programs. We believe everyone deserves a starting point.
Wherever you are in your home-buying or selling journey, we’d be honored to help.

Selling and buying simultaneously is one of our specialties. We help you price and list your current home strategically, time the sale to align with your next purchase, and use tools like sale contingencies, bridge financing options, or rent-back agreements so you’re never stuck between homes. Our husband-and-wife team coordinates both sides of the transaction so nothing falls through the cracks.

Hi, I’m Nellie.
I’m a Spokane local, a boy mom, and a big believer in the security that comes from owning a home. To me, real estate is about more than buying and selling, it’s about helping families create a foundation they can grow from.
I’m very open, easy to talk to, and deeply invested in the people I work with. I take pride in being clear, honest, and calm throughout the process, especially when decisions feel overwhelming.
My husband Larry and I work together as a team, making sure you’re supported every step of the way and never left wondering what comes next.
Hi, I’m Larry.
With a career in sales that began at just 19, I built success on a foundation of genuine customer relationships, skilled negotiation, and consistent follow-through. Understanding that buying or selling a home is one of life’s biggest decisions, I’m committed to making the process as smooth and rewarding as possible for our clients.
I am proud to work alongside my wife Nellie and as a dynamic duo, we bring double the expertise, availability, and dedication to every client. While one agent can handle showings, the other can be negotiating offers or managing paperwork, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks and you always have someone available when you need them. Our combined experience and complementary skills mean you get the best of both worlds: Larry’s sales savvy and people skills paired with Nellie’s seasoned real estate knowledge.
We can’t wait to connect with you and see how we can serve you.

What our clients have to say…
“We moved from Texas to Spokane in 2023, and Nellie was an absolute lifesaver during our home-buying journey. Relocating across states can be overwhelming, especially with two kids, but Nellie made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable.
She took the time to truly understand what we were looking for — especially finding a home in a great school district for our two girls — and she absolutely delivered. Nellie is smart, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive.
She listens, gives great advice, and knows the Spokane market inside and out.
Thanks to her, we found the perfect home and felt confident every step of the way. We would highly recommend Nellie to anyone looking for a top-tier, trustworthy realtor who genuinely cares about her clients.”
— Jaime Armstead (Brooke)“Nellie was the perfect fit for helping me and my husband find our first home. For first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions.
She was incredibly informed and patient for every showing, helping us understand our all of our options. She understood the urgency of the market at the time and was highly available so we could see homes that were competitive and make offers in a timely manner.
Thanks to her guidance, we landed a home that we adore. Beyond Nellie’s professionalism, she is an absolute joy to be around! We truly grateful to have her by our side during such an important milestone. Should we be in the market again someday, we will be calling Nellie.”
- Jennifer Traeger“Nellie has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Her organization skills and clear, timely communication make the entire real estate process seamless. She's a true leader who goes above and beyond to meet our needs promptly.
What stands out most is her creativity and modern marketing strategies, which truly set her apart.
As a family with a young toddler, we greatly appreciate her thoughtful consideration of our unique needs. We can't recommend Nellie enough for anyone seeking a dedicated, professional, and forward-thinking real estate expert.”
