About the host

Hosted by Lisa Klinkhammer

Host profile image
Hello and welcome! I’m Lisa — lover of PNW summers, unapologetic fan of rainy-day coziness, and your behind-the-scenes host at Happy Hammer Homes.

I moved to the Pacific Northwest in 2007 and instantly fell for the South Puget Sound’s charm (and yes, the weather really does have personality). My husband and I run Hammer Real Estate, where we transform homes with intention and give forgotten spaces a second chance at being loved.

Hosting is my creative outlet — and I run my 4.99-star Airbnb business the way every guest deserves: with thoughtfulness, responsiveness, and plenty of warmth. Think boutique-hotel polish meets “your friend with great taste” vibes.

When I’m off-duty, you’ll catch me unwind with a great Cabernet, a clever streaming series, and people who love a good laugh as much as I do.
