About Bryan Castro
Real Estate Life
I’m Bryan Castro — The Beekeeping Realtor with eXp Realty. I help buyers and sellers across Lewis & Thurston County make confident moves with clear strategy, fast communication, and modern marketing that gets a property in front of the right buyers.
Real estate gets stressful when people feel uncertain. My job is to keep it simple: set expectations early, explain options in plain English, and stay proactive so you’re never wondering what’s next.
If you’re buying, I’ll help you move quickly and write smart offers. If you’re selling, we’ll build a pricing and prep plan that protects your bottom line and sets you up for a strong launch.
Humble Beeginnings
I was born and raised in Newbury Park, California, and I’ve always had an entrepreneurial streak. Before real estate, I worked while studying biology with an emphasis in entomology, and I fell in love with bees during research work. That interest turned into a business that I ran for 13 years.
Building a business from the ground up taught me how to stay calm under pressure, solve problems quickly, and follow through when it counts. Those same skills translate directly to real estate: details matter, timelines matter, and communication matters.
I earned my real estate license expecting it to be a side project. Instead, I discovered I loved helping people navigate big decisions with clarity and confidence. It became the work I chose to build my future around.
Hobbies and Local Involvement
Outside of real estate, I’m a family guy and a local-community person. I enjoy exploring the Pacific Northwest, working on home projects, and staying active. I also like supporting local small businesses and keeping a pulse on what’s happening around Lewis and Thurston County.
I’m involved with groups like the Senior Action Network in Olympia because relationships matter—this business is built on trust, and I want to be a long-term resource, not a one-time transaction.
If you’re planning a move (even if it’s months away), reach out. I’m happy to talk through your options and help you build a plan.
