Meet Joseph
Joe Bauman has been a broker since 1998. Before joining the real estate industry he was a PGA Golf professional, playing tournament golf as well as coaching high school and college golf programs. From swinging clubs to driving deals, Joe has his clients’ backs and is eager to help them find their dream home!
Joe works out of the John L. Scott Tacoma office which is centrally located in the Puget Sound region. Joe focuses on King and Pierce County but also serves Thurston, Kitsap and Snohomish for select clients. As a member of the relocation team he often works with incoming and outgoing employees who are looking to buy or sell in the area. He works with a number of investors - not just with single family homes, but also multifamily and commercial as a member of the Commercial Brokers Association.
After more than 24 years in the real estate industry, clients rely on Joe’s deep understanding of the market to guide them through each transaction. He utilizes his background in coaching and teaching when it comes to guiding clients and breaking down the more complicated side of a transaction. Getting to know his clients and their goals is also hugely important to Joe. There is no “one size fits all” strategy and he enjoys the challenge of evaluating and creating a winning strategy that fits each of his clients particular needs.
Joe is proud to have supported the John L. Scott Foundation for the last 20 years by contributing a portion of each commission in support of Seattle Children’s Hospital and Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital. He also works locally with Toys for Tots as well as Charlie’s Dinosaur, which provides support for local foster children with clothing and school supplies.
Although no longer a golf professional, Joe still has many great friendships in the golf business and enjoys getting out to play whenever possible to spend time with new and old friends. Joe and his wife Cameron are very proud of their 15 year old daughter Novalee, who is a driven, high achieving young lady and the current Miss Washington's Outstanding Teen. Supporting her in chasing her goals and dreams is a passion of Joe’s.

Tacoma
Tacoma is a city on the rise. A revitalized downtown, gorgeous views of Mt. Rainier and Puget Sound, and easy access to both Seattle and Olympia—as well as the West Sound—have put this historic city in the spotlight as one of the Pacific Northwest’s best places to call home. The city sits on Commencement Bay, which is home to the Port of Tacoma, the largest port in Washington State. Tacoma takes advantage of the water that’s so nearby in our parks, including Point Defiance. Within the park, you can see historic reenactments at Fort Nisqually, rent the Pagoda for special occasions, or walk along the water at Owen Beach. The Ruston Way waterfront along Commencement Bay is one of the loveliest walks in the city, complete with restaurants and other businesses to take in along the way. Tacoma has a thriving arts scene as well. Downtown’s revitalization really got started with the Washington State History Museum, followed by the Museum of Glass, featuring works from Tacoma’s native son, Dale Chihuly. In fact, our fair city is home to the State’s biggest concentration of arts and history museums. While you’re perusing the museums, be sure to see the sights along the Thea Foss Waterway, a renovated urban waterfront named for the founder of Foss Maritime and the woman Tugboat Annie was based on. Whether you come for the parks, the museums, the unique neighborhoods or the best views of Mt. Rainier in the world, Tacoma will welcome you with open arms and charm you with its many delights. If you’d like to learn more about Tacoma, let us know. We’d love to show you around and help you find your perfect home.
Reviews
“Joe was an amazing agent. Selling your home during a job relocation is as crazy as it gets and working with Joe was always a calming and relaxing experience. His team members were equally as amazing. He guided us through the hectic showing period and offered thoughtful and considered feedback when considering multiple offerings. When we return to Tacoma we'll be asking Joe to help us find our next home.”
– Barrett and Jamie, Vancouver BC
“We both bought and sold a house with Joe. He not only got us a great price on the house we purchased he also sold our house in 4 days with multiple offers well over the price we were anticipating. Joe knows the market well and his professionalism and attention to detail made the whole process easy.”
– Mark and Jennifer, Lake Tapps
“We could not have been happier with the representation we received from Joe Bauman; both in the sale and purchase of our homes. Joe's calm demeanor and expert advice were extremely helpful through both life changing transactions. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone needing a real estate broker.”
– Tom and Laurie, Auburn
“I have been involved in a few home sales/purchases over the last several years and Joe was by far the best agent I've worked with. He is incredibly knowledgeable, competent, and responsive, but above all, he has a tremendously calming effect. When the going got tough, Joe was supportive, helpful, and remained positive throughout the ordeal. He was always available and generous with his time and had our best interests at heart. Joe is the person to have in your corner during one of the most stressful periods of your life—buying or selling a home!”
