Howard Lan

Howard Lan was born and raised in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and moved to Seattle alone at age 16 to pursue greater educational opportunities. After spending one year at Nathan Hale High School, he transitioned to community college full-time during his senior year of high school. He is now continuing his academic journey at Washington State University, majoring in Finance and minoring in Entrepreneurship. Howard is on track to graduate a year earlier than his peers, a reflection of his drive, focus, and forward-thinking mindset.

As a marketing strategist and financial analyst, Howard plays an essential role in his real estate team’s media, branding, and investor-facing initiatives. He leads social media strategy, creates in-house video content, and supports financial modeling to help evaluate returns on potential real estate investments. While not yet a licensed broker, he is actively pursuing his Washington State real estate license and is deeply passionate about all facets of the industry, from luxury residential properties to investment and development opportunities.

A natural entrepreneur, Howard is the founder of Lan Legacy, a nonprofit that helps seniors learn how to use modern technology to stay connected in today’s digital world. He also helped grow his family’s restaurant business in Taiwan by building a social media presence that earned multiple videos over one million views, demonstrating his ability to create impact through strategic marketing and storytelling.

Howard is known for his energetic, outgoing personality and people-first mindset. He believes that real estate is more than just a business, it’s about helping others find a place to call home and build lasting memories. His background in finance and creative content gives him a dual advantage: understanding the numbers while connecting authentically with clients.

Outside of work, Howard serves as a youth leader at his local church and enjoys staying active with new projects, community service, and long-term ventures. His future goals include exploring investment banking or private equity while continuing to build a strong foundation in real estate. One day, he hopes to open his own restaurant or hotel chain, combining his love of business, hospitality, and people.
