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.

I had the pleasure of meeting Vanessa in 2020, when she provided assistance to us in acquiring a…read morehome in Bellingham, WA. From the outset, it was clear she was a consummate professional who excelled in her field, and we promptly contacted her recently to facilitate the sale of our property. Vanessa excels at preparing homes for market, setting realistic expectations for her sellers, and selling homes far quicker than the typical timeframe seen in this challenging market. Although our circumstances and timing for selling our home were less than ideal, she demonstrated her ability to rise to the challenge and ensured our success. Vanessa was a strong advocate for our interests and a great partner. She did a wonderful job with timely communication and check-ins, and providing the insights we needed to make informed decisions. We really appreciated her patience and perseverance and wouldn't hesitate to use her again. I highly recommend Vanessa for all of your real estate needs whether you're a first time homebuyer or have gone through the home buying/selling process many times before. On top of all this, she is just a friendly person all around and truly embraces everything about Bellingham.. Sincerely, Rhonda Atteberry

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.

The last time Jon helped a friend of mine he landed a great house. Then he sold their house when no other agent could. It's the little things he does that matter most.

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.

The real estate market there is very active and you must stay on top of all new listings. Things were literally changing on a day to day basis and we needed to have a close communication channel with Jerry or we would miss out on potential opportunities. Jerry combines his experience as a real estate agent and his past experiences as a housing inspector and contractor to provide a unique way to value property and understand how the homes condition affects the market value. Because of the speed of the changing market everyone had to remain flexible and be able to move on short notice. Jerry did a good job in making himself available on short notice through phone calls, emails and text messages. Jerry helped us remain clam and work through the market challenges.
