She's a really great listener and communicator, always available to answer questions clearly and honestly. She lives locally and is totally tuned into the local market. She understood what we were looking for and what our budget was like, and she helped us to navigate a very tight market. We felt like she was on our team and rooting for us every step of the way, from initial search through to closing. The rest of the team at Laurie's agency was great too. I loved being able to select and support a local company operated by a team of talented women. I would recommend Layla, Laurie, and their fellow staff to anyone in a heartbeat!

Her work ethic, high intergrity and commitment to a quality experience and ultimately, a successful sale made a challenging and emotional process doable (from out of state, no less!). #RockstarRonda

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.

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!

He wrote almost 10 offers on my behalf during one home search and gave excellent advice regarding negotiating final terms.

We had a wide range of places we were open to, and many want/need lists to work with, that often clashed. He was incredible about making sure we got in to places that looked promising as fast as possible, not wasting our time with places that wouldn't work out. He was often the voice of reason, making sure we stayed on track for our goal. Once we got into a home for a showing, he was invaluable for not only pointing out issues and pros of the place, but keeping everyone thinking realistically about how problematic/beneficial something actually was in dollars and cents. His communication skills are astounding, keeping everyone informed while also being an excellent listener to his clients' needs. Not only did he find us the absolute perfect place, but along the way he educated us a lot not only on the local market, but on what we'd need to look for/keep up in our new home, moving forward. It's one thing to have an expert find you a home- it's another thing entirely for them to also keep your decisions well-informed during such a long, draining, complicated process.

If there were any delays that were out of Alana's control, she was quick to keep me updated. I never felt "in the dark" while working with Alana. She even followed up on a number of issues well past the closing date of our house. I always felt Alana was looking out for my best interests and believe she was highly effective at negotiating costs in my favor. She always valued my input but was straight forward, honest and research based when offering advice. I always felt like I was in the best of hands when working with Alana. I will certainly give Alana a call the next time I'm selling or buying a house and will give her the highest recommendation to any of my friends or familiy who are looking for an effective realtor. Thanks Alana!
