No reputable outlet has published an estimate of Casey Roloff's net worth. The $9 million figure on earlier versions of this page had no source and has been removed. Roloff is the co-founder and CEO of Seabrook Land Company, which since 2004 has built Seabrook, a walkable beach town on the Washington coast that has grown to about 600 homes. He and his wife, Laura, own and run it together.

What is Casey Roloff's net worth?

There is no figure from Forbes, Bloomberg, Celebrity Net Worth or a major newspaper. Seabrook Land Company is privately held and does not publish revenue, profit or debt. The scale of the business is public, though: hundreds of homes sold at prices that, in early 2024, ran from under $800,000 for a small loft to just under $2 million for a large house, according to Forbes. What the Roloffs keep after construction costs, loans and investors is not known, so this page does not put a number on it.

Where the money comes from

  • Home and lot sales at Seabrook. The University of Puget Sound reported in 2019 that the couple had built and sold more than 400 houses there. Local papers put the town at about 600 homes by 2024 (Sequim Gazette).
  • Town businesses and rentals. Seabrook works as both a year-round town and a vacation destination, with shops, restaurants and rental homes clustered around a walkable center (Portland Monthly).
  • Earlier Oregon projects. Before Seabrook, the Roloffs built custom houses in Lincoln City, Oregon, and developed and sold a small vacation-rental neighborhood there called Bella Beach.

Career timeline

Early life and education

Roloff grew up on the outskirts of Vancouver, Washington. A University of Puget Sound profile says his family moved about 20 times, and that at one point in high school they lived in an 18-foot travel trailer while his parents struggled to keep a video store open. In his senior year the family moved to Lincoln City, Oregon, where his parents began renovating and flipping coastal houses.

He met Laura on a blind date in high school. After part-time classes at several colleges, he followed her to Tacoma, raised his grades at Tacoma Community College, won admission to the University of Puget Sound on appeal and graduated in 1995. The university profile says a staff member there helped him discover he had a learning disability. He paid his way through college painting houses, according to Portland Monthly.

First houses on the Oregon coast

Banks would not fund the young couple's first build. Forbes reported that a group of local doctors lent them $150,000 at 14% interest to build their first house. That led to about 25 home projects over the next five years, which gave them the capital and track record for a bigger idea.

Founding Seabrook (2004)

Inspired by Seaside, Florida, and the New Urbanism movement, the Roloffs set out in 2002 to build a town from scratch. Seabrook opened in 2004 on the bluffs near Pacific Beach in Grays Harbor County. It started with 34 acres, and the couple soon added more land. Streets are narrow, houses sit close together, and a grocery store and restaurants are within walking distance of every home, Forbes reported. Roloff worked with architect and planner Laurence Qamar on the design.

Expansion to Sequim

In April 2024 Roloff and his team, including CFO Jeff Gunderson, presented plans for a 500- to 600-home walkable community on about 160 acres near John Wayne Marina on Sequim Bay, on land owned by the late actor John Wayne's family (Peninsula Daily News). He said the company held purchase rights and was spending about $1 million to study whether the project was viable. In October 2024 the Puget Sound Business Journal reported that the Seabrook developers were buying the property.

Recent changes (2025–2026)

In August 2025 the Puget Sound Business Journal reported that the developers plan to add hundreds more homes and amenities to Seabrook. Portland Monthly's August 2026 feature said the Roloffs plan more housing and a hotel in the town.

Family

Roloff is married to Laura Roloff, a 1997 Puget Sound graduate who studied studio art and co-founded Seabrook with him. He is not related to the Roloff family of the TV series Little People, Big World and does not own Roloff Farms, as an earlier version of this page wrongly said. No reliable source gives his height or exact date of birth.

Why there is no figure

Town builders tie up most of their wealth in land, infrastructure and unsold property, often financed with debt. Seabrook's home prices and sales counts show a large business, but not the Roloffs' share of it after costs. Until a reputable publisher reports a figure, the honest answer is that their wealth comes from two decades of building and selling Seabrook, and cannot be pinned to a number.
