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!

Ronda delivers a beautiful blend of knowledge and polished professionalism with humanity including empathy, patience and kindness. She rapidly earned trust with her responsiveness and consistently ensuring that she dotted all of the i's and crossed all of the t's (often before I even realized it!). 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

We just had an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience dealing with Jon, who represented…read morethe seller and we were buyers. Just 3 days after the listing went live, we arrived for a site visit and made an offer $35K over asking price, and in a very slow and challenging market for sellers, due to ultra high mortgage rates and virtually no turnover of inventory on the market. We presented out letter of pre-approval and met all of his very time-sensitive milestones to submit our bid. In return, he repeatedly ignored his own stated timeline and deadlines to reply, dragged this out for 4 days, and then told us the reason for his lack of follow-through and timely communication was that he was skiing! We did not make a lowball offer - it was a generous offer, backed up by a pre-approval letter form a very prominent and respected mortgage broker, and he treated us with absolutely zero respect or consideration. Finally, in frustration, we withdrew our bid, which may have hurt the seller as well. We advise in the strongest possible terms to avoid dealing with Jon Hansen or the Hansen Group, this was a nightmare experience, and so unnecessary. Of course we are disappointed we didn't win the property, but that's not the reason for the review. The review is because throughout the process, Jon showed absolutely no professional or personal respect or even basic consideration for the value of our time or good intentions. Whether you are a seller or a buyer, you have many other choices for a real estate agent in Whatcom County. Look elsewhere.

If you're feeling nervous about finding the right real estate agent, look no further than Julian…read moreand his team. 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!

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.
