We loved our old home and were thrilled when, within 4 days of the listing, Nathan was able to find us a buyer who also loved our "old" home where we raised our children, and that we had put so much of ourselves into! Thank you, Nathan, for the professional way in which you walked us through this process. You really understood us - the things that mattered to us. Not only did I trust you with the complicated workings of real estate, but you understood that homes are places where life takes place, and memories are made.

What can I say about this specimen of a real estate agent? Professionally he is hands down bar…read morenone. He consistently holds himself to a very professional standard and in my history of working with him over the course of 3 years as a contractor and then finally as a seller. He has never failed to maintain a high professional standard. All that being said he is extremely easy to speak to and helped me feel at ease during the sale of my home in Burlington, Washington. I currently reside in New York City and he always maintained an astounding level of communication and empathy for my situation. He called and offered condolences at the time of my wife's passing. He is not just any real estate agent he is a friend and a trusted confidant. He ensured a smooth process during a home repair project that took place at the same time of the sale of my home. Simply put his fluidity in a difficult sale situation was handled with the ease of a seasoned veteran. He knows the area, he knows his profession, he knows how to treat a client to ensure they feel seen, heard, and important. I never in the whole time that I have worked with him felt as if something else took precedence. If there was a standard to which all other agents could be calibrated he would be the sought after highest standard. I want to officially and publicly say thank you, Thank you for helping me, thank you for being the agent and the person you are. You have helped me far more than you can ever know.

Kelli Walterskirchen was our realtor during Covid. To be honest my SO and I said we were just going…read moreto look and not buy... oops, had to take advantage of the low interest rates. Kelli was amazing throughout the entire process of buying our Sudden Valley home. She was promptly on time, flexible, and showed us a number of properties. We knew what we wanted, sent a list ahead of time, and she scouted the availability. She saw that we were on the fence between two homes, listened to our back and forth about what we liked and didn't like, and offered insight where she could without completely influencing our decision. She never made us feel pressured and offered to show us the same place multiple times so that we could be sure of the place. Often times a person might only be able to see a place one or two times before buying which is strange considering people live in their homes for a long time and it is one of the most expensive purchases a person can make in their lifetime; but Kelli made an effort to show us the places as many times as we needed to feel excited, motivated, and confident about our purchase. She even helped us arrange the inspection, gather information on contractor bids so that when we counter-offered we had what we needed to back it up, and referred us to some really good contractors that we've already used and have been pleased with. We've used Haulin' Ash for our fireplace, Bellingham Mold for our moldy attic, and Bishop Builders (Larry) for windows, dry wall, and general builder stuff. Thanks Kelli!

He always arrived at our meetings well-prepared with lots of useful resources, and great attention to detail. He is very knowledgeable about the home-buying process. On a video walk-thru he openly shared his observations about the property. He was extremely patient, and answered all of our questions. Jay takes an interest in his clients and he cares. He obviously enjoys working with people, and his work. He was good at developing rapport, and gaining our trust. I get that he follows a high standard of personal ethics. I am happy to recommend Jay for guidance to anyone in the process of negotiating the Bellingham real estate market.

Working with Jay Chen of Mindful Home Team was nothing short of magical. We had the chance to work…read morewith Jay on both the purchase of our new home in Auburn and the sale of our condo in Issaquah, and we can't imagine having gone through either process with anyone else. Buying our new home was something that started as a casual search. We weren't working with an agent, but after checking in with Jay for advice, it quickly became clear that we wanted him in our corner. Though the search was outside of his usual area, Jay dove into the Federal Way and Auburn markets with focus, curiosity, and care. Our first offer was on a home that felt like "the one." Jay made the long drive to be with us for the pre-inspection and helped us clarify not just what we wanted in a house, but in our future. We didn't get that one, but it brought us closer to our vision and strengthened our trust in Jay. A few days later, we found the home we were meant to have. Jay acted quickly, helped us craft the right offer, and ultimately helped us win it. Now, we're settling into a home filled with warmth, charm, and light. Our cat, Garçon, is in love with the sunny spots. We adore the yard, the character, and the energy of the space. It feels like the perfect place to grow our future together. After that, Jay helped us sell our condo of 9 years. It was a big emotional decision, and Jay was the perfect partner. He supported our desire to stay in the driver's seat while offering sharp insight, thoughtful guidance, and calm, expert presence. He advised us on pricing, staging, and prepping the unit to shine. Thanks to his strategy and care, we set a record sale price in the complex, even in a tricky market. When the buyer's financing hit snags, Jay stepped up and helped us and our HOA secure FHA approval with HUD to make the deal happen. That kind of above-and-beyond effort truly defines who he is. Jay made both buying and selling feel easy, human, and full of heart. We're so grateful. We truly can't imagine working with anyone else, truly.

Come to find out, they were not licensed or insured. And insisted that all four parties (us, him, the home owners, and our real estate agent) split the cost to repair the home.

As first-time home buyers, my wife and I were unsure of the process, but Julian was patient and understanding throughout our five-year search for the perfect home. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the local neighborhoods, taxes, and regulations, and helped us navigate the move to the area from California. Julian was always responsive to our questions and concerns and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable with every step. When we visited Bellingham, he even spent an entire afternoon showing us around the city and giving us in-depth details. We went to different neighborhoods and he showed us all the best restaurants and shopping areas. The guy is clearly dedicated to his career and will stop at nothing to make sure his clients get what they ar looking for. Julian also did an excellent job negotiating on our behalf and helped us get the best possible deal on our dream home. We closed at 16% below asking, and it helped us avoid negotiation pitfalls. He also helped us with everything from finding a loan to insurance and inspections. We were extremely impressed with Julian and his team's dedication to their careers and their ability to exceed our expectations. One of the things that stood out to us the most about Julian was his genuine care for our well-being. It was clear that he was not just in the business to make a quick sale, but truly wanted to help us find the perfect home for our family. He truly cares about his clients and it was evident in every interaction we had with him. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bellingham area. The best part is - I feel like I found one of my first friends in the neighborhood!
