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.

Jon was not upfront about the total money we would profit from the house. He originally said once price and on closing receiving $10,000 LESS!! Also is not fully informed or the market and surrounding areas of your home, upon meeting with Jon he said one price upon listing it we ended up losing a HUGE chunk of change. Jon is almost impossible to get a hold off and uses 2 other agents forcing you to pay over $20,000 in closing cost alone! If your selling your home, rethink your choices before hiring Jon and his team. Do NOT recommend...

I've worked in mortgage lending for over 15 years, and Andi Dyer remains one of my most trusted and…read moreconsistent real estate partners. We've successfully closed numerous transactions together across Whatcom County, and I can say with confidence Andi brings both professionalism and heart to the table every single time. She's highly responsive (she actually picks up the phone!), solution-oriented, and calm under pressure. When surprises come up in a transaction--and they often do Andi doesn't panic; she pivots. That level of poise and communication makes my job easier and keeps clients informed and confident. Beyond transactions, we've also co-taught first-time homebuyer classes together, including those using the Washington State down payment assistance program. Her commitment to education and equity in homeownership is something I genuinely admire. She's not just helping people buy homes--she's helping them build long-term financial stability. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, collaborative, and client-focused agent, Andi Dyer is the real deal.

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!
