Karen Hake

Licensed Broker 

As a member of the leading Rosie Rourke team, I have been an integral part of a team with solid results. In 2021, we closed 210 transactions; 55 of those were my own clients!

I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and have lived in the Fairwood community since 1988, where my husband and I raised our three kids. We continue to be deeply rooted in the community and I have a long history of involvement in our local schools, scouts, and theater, currently serving on the Kent Schools Foundation board. My husband is a local business owner, and we both love to travel, exploring the globe, both locally and afar!

As a real estate broker, I feel incredibly privileged to work with clients, helping them with one of the largest financial decisions they will ever make. I am committed to providing exceptional service every day and know that each client is unique and deserves my best.

When you do what you love, results show and I’m grateful for the trust invested in me by so many clients!. Having worked all over Puget Sound, I strive to be a trusted resource for all things home related and am confident that my experience can help you with your home buying/selling journey too!

Lexie Pray

Licensed Broker

Hello everyone, I'm Lexie! I grew up in the Fairwood neighborhood of Renton and graduated from Washington State University. I have loved being a part of both Eastern and Western Washington communities.

I became interested in real estate at a young age due to my parents always remodeling our homes. From this, I was able to see the house "flipping" process from both the buying and selling side. When I got the opportunity to be a part of the Rosie Rourke Team I knew I had a jump at the chance.

I love helping all types of clients, especially first-time homebuyers. I understand the excitement, the questions, and the anxieties that come with this significant step. My mission is to make the process easy and seamless, ensuring the journey to homeownership is a joyful one.

Outside of real estate, I am married to my high school sweetheart, Tyler and we have an adorable mini-goldendoodle named Shoop. I love outdoor activities, embracing a healthy lifestyle, hot yoga, and trying new local restaurants.

 

 

Caitlin Reed

Licensed Broker & Listing Manager

Hello! My name is Caitlin and I grew up in the LA area but have lived in WA now for about 20+ years, of that time I have lived in the Covington area for about half. Prior to joining the team I worked in the real estate industry in a variety of roles, helping me to learn all angles of a transaction. I started in 2011 as an assistant on a short sale team, later worked as a Transaction Coordinator on a team, and then spent a few years as an agent. The knowledge I have gained from each of these roles really has allowed me to learn the full picture so I can assist in making this as smooth as possible for our clients. I strive to keep this process as stress free and simple as possible for you! 

When I am not at work, you can find me on the sidelines of a soccer field cheering my kids on, out exploring new bars and restaurants with my husband, or snuggled up with my Rottweiler at home watching a movie. I also love getting time to go to Disneyland, or any travel really; and I am constantly working on some new project at my house.

Stephanie Akkir

Licensed Broker & Transaction Coordinator

Hello! My name is Stephanie and I am the licensed Transaction Coordinator for the team. I’m a Renton resident with 16+ years real estate experience. I began my real estate career as a Broker Services Representative and with that experience, I learned first-hand the complexities of the industry, and this helped me fine-tune my skills and gain a comprehensive understanding of the contract-to-close process. I am detail-oriented and I love assisting clients in achieving their real estate goals and dreams.

I love all things Seattle, most especially our Seattle Sounders! When I’m not cheering them on, I’m supporting our local restaurants, breweries, and museums. I also love to travel and spend time with loved ones.

Cassie Weiding

Team Assistant

Before joining us, Cassie spent 5 years at Papé, focusing on customer service and guiding clients through warranty challenges. That experience—navigating complex issues with patience, clarity, and genuine care—shines through in everything she does. She has a natural ability to build trust and create positive experiences, and we’re so lucky to have that energy on our team.
 
At home, Cassie is a proud mom to her daughter, Charlie. She lives in Bonney Lake with her husband and is surrounded by a warm, close-knit extended family. In her spare time, she loves making memories with the people she loves most.
 
We are thrilled to have Cassie as part of the Rosie Rourke Team. She’s committed, hardworking, thoughtful, and ready to grow—and we can’t wait for you all to get to know her too!
