Laurie Satushek is the person you want representing you if you are a buyer in the Bellingham area…read more I know this from personal experience. In fact, I hadn't even planned to purchase a home in Bellingham, and was just visiting a friend in town, when I was introduced to Laurie. One thing led to another, and in a day, I was out looking at properties. Laurie is FROM Bellingham, and knows and understands the market there as well as any one person could. This knowledge base is of inestimable value. She showed me properties that fit the very narrow constraints of what I was willing to spend, what I was looking for in terms of an investment, the return I expected to get, etc. In other words, Laurie LISTENED to me. She didn't show me things she THOUGHT might work for me. She showed me properties that fit EXACTLY the parameters I was working in. This is a rare thing today in Real Estate. Agents are often so desperate to close that they'll show properties that have only the most remote connection to what the client has stated they are looking for. Also, Laurie was available to me at virtually all times, and always responded to my calls and e-mails in the most timely of fashions. I have been buying and selling houses for 20 years, and I wish I had met Laurie earlier. Having worked with people across the ability spectrum I can honestly say that I've never had an agent go so far above and beyond the job description as she did in helping me find the property that was exactly right for me. To call her tireless would be an understatement. And.. I got the impression she had plenty left in the tank. Add to that integrity, honesty and a great sense of humor, and you get an agent who is not only a pleasure to work with professionally, but someone who makes the multiple hours involved in hunting for, inspecting, and ultimately making an offer on a home seem virtually effortless. But the effort is there. If you're looking at homes in or around Bellingham, Trust this review. Don't buy a property in this area without first consulting with Laurie Satushek of Keller Williams.

We knew this is exactly where we wanted to raise our 2 young daughters. Because of that, I am very passionate about the community that we live in and love helping people find their home within it. My approach is simple, I am here to serve you. Holistically and without pressure. Helping you find the right home, at the right time, at the right price that is comfortable for you. I have a vast amount of experience in business and customer service, which allows me to give you all of my time and attention that you need to make the home buying process as pleasant and joyful as it should be. In my spare time, I love spending as much time with my family going on hikes, playing soccer, volunteering at the local schools, reading comic books and playing video games with my daughters. We love supporting small businesses in the community so you may run into me and my family at one of Bellingham's many amazing local restaurants, or shopping for some new reading material at my favorite local comics place.

I couldn't be happier with the "above and beyond" service Julie provided. She walked us…read more(first-time home buyers) through every step of the process with knowledge and patience. She showed us many houses, listening to our needs and offering valuable insights. When we finally found a home that was right for us, we were ready to jump. Julie helped us write a competitive offer that was accepted -no small feat in this crazy market! Julie's help getting to closing was also essential. She kept us on track with every step and was in constant reliable communication with the lender, the seller, the closing agent, and us. When we ran into trouble with our national lender moving the process forward to close on time, Julie talked us through every option. It all worked out perfectly, (we switched to WECU where we got great service and were even able to close a week early) but the process sure was stressful. I can't express how valuable Julie's presence and insights were during this time. Julie is organized, experienced, knowledgeable, available, and caring. I recommend her without hesitation.

I highly recommend Mary Stidham for all your real estate needs!

Writing a review for Mary Stidham is difficult, because I fear anything I say will sound…read moreunbelievable or contrived. The problem is, Mary is truly as wonderful as all the superlative adjectives I can think up. Mary is a community builder in her bones, and we first encountered and came to know and love her through her clear passion for the Bellingham community. The first time my spouse and I visited Bellingham, we inadvertently found ourselves using her online recommendations as a check list of all the best places to visit and best things to see throughout the area. We finally began remarking on how great her taste is - and as we fell in love with the community, knew we had to reach out to talk to her about looking for our new home. Expecting to schedule a phone consultation some time in the coming weeks or months, Mary responded immediately and suggested we meet for coffee that Saturday morning and to chat about our thoughts and plans. From our initial meeting she was friendly, brilliant, and understanding of our wacky situation. Over the next several months from across the country we stayed in touch, us sharing homes we found online that looked interesting and her sharing thoughtful feedback. One of the things I loved about Mary is that she is real, honest, and human. She would tell us "I know that home looks great online, but I don't think it would be a perfect fit for you because (reasons)." Looking at homes from across the country, this thoughtful feedback was worth its weight in gold, time after time! Months after our initial meeting, when we finally flew out to do some serious house hunting, Mary arranged her schedule around our visit, devoted multiple very long days to shepherding us all around the area, and was unbelievably patient as we looked at some houses over and over. She guided us through a quick and challenging negotiation process when we finally made our offer, of course got us our home, and then held our hands for the long weeks to close. Above and beyond doesn't begin to describe her in that time - from helping find a fantastic inspector who came out on a Sunday morning before we had to drive to SeaTac and fly back across the country to installing our mailbox and window treatments in the new home (who does that?!? What kind of person goes that far for a client???), Mary is so far beyond exceptional it cannot be accurately conveyed. One of the (many) things I love about Mary is not only is she kind and thoughtful, she's human and understanding - if something went (temporarily!) awry, Mary isn't a person who would tell you it's okay, it will all be alright, ... (despite those things of course being true!) - she is empathetic, and would vehemently agree if a situation wasn't right, and it's fair for us to be frustrated, and the was going to do whatever needed to be done to get it right! Anyone looking for an exceptionally talented real estate agent, a wonderful human being, and a new friend in Bellingham has no need to look any further than Mary Stidham. However many stars the review system offers, she deserves more. Good luck house hunters! :)
