ZillowVERIFIEDDisking is extremely knowledgeable, skilled, and fantastic to work with. We were first time sellers and he took lots of time to answer our questions and guide us through the process. Our house went on the market around the same time as eight other houses in our neighborhood. We got a full price offer on day two, and our neighbors houses (with other agents) are still on the market with price cuts two months later. He was also very helpful getting us into a new house that we absolutely love. The Young family has been in the Whatcom County real estate business for generations and I don't think you could find anyone more qualified to be your agent.

ZillowVERIFIED Diskin Young was a phenomenal real estate broker! He went above and beyond in every possible way to help us sell our house. As out-of-town sellers, we relied on him completely, and he took care of everythingaEUR"from staging and prepping the home to making sure it was in perfect condition for buyers. He has contractors who he works with to make prep seamless, and he even jumped in personally to paint and fix things himself to get our house ready for sale. Diskin is extremely knowledgeable about the market and the business of selling homes. On top of that, hes a friendly, genuine person who immediately puts you at ease. We highly recommend himaEUR"dont waste your time looking any further! And just to be clear, we didnt know him before working together. We chose him because he had sold several homes in our neighborhood for top dollar, and now we know exactly why.

ZillowVERIFIED Diskin was great throughout the whole process. He helped us identify things we needed to look for and ask when buying a home. He was proactive in getting everything done and ordered after our offer was inspected, and he did a lot of the busy work so we didn't have to. He is also incredibly knowledgeable about everything, so he was quickly able to answer all of our questions and provided excellent referrals for anything we needed done. Highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIED Not all realtors are able to deliver with the level of poise, expertise, confidence and professionalism as Diskin has. Diskin expertly led us through the housing market in Bellingham. He was able to balance the fine line of being confident, but not pushy when it came to sharing his insights. When we found aEURoethe oneaEUR? he was advocating for us either quietly behind the scenes or front and center at the negotiating table. He took time to understand us, learn about us and our family. He used that knowledge to ultimately led us to our dream home. He was invested in us. The care and support he provided will not be soon forgotten. After this experience not only do I consider him an expert realtor who can deliver results, but a trusted friend. Thanks for making this experience, which can be stressful, so much more enjoyable. We couldnt have done it without you!

ZillowVERIFIED I have had a few good experiences with realtors, but it wasn't until I met Diskin that I discovered the difference a great realtor could make. He was perfect through the entire process, and was able to help above and beyond at every turn. As far as I'm concerned he's the only realtor that I would ever buy or sell with in Whatcom County.

ZillowVERIFIED Diskin did an outstanding job with helping my buy my first home. He initially got ideas from me of what I was looking for and gave me options that he thought would be in my interest. When we looked at houses together he was very helpful in pointing out the strong and weak points. He seemed to quickly pick up on my preferences and helped to make sure we were focusing on those. Diskin made me feel like a priority. Although I know he is very busy, he was always available for questions, quick to answer, and quick to schedule appointments and viewings. Given that this was my first house ever to buy, I greatly appreciated working with someone who clearly knew what he was doing, was attentive to detail, and was trustworthy. He had an answer to every question and went to bat on my behalf. I felt that he was in my corner. I will definitely use Diskin again for potential real estate needs. He was wonderful to work with. My words fall short, but I give him my highest recommendation.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I worked with Diskin as first time home buyers in the Bellingham area, and I truly can't say enough how amazing Diskin is to work with! Diskin is incredibly knowledgable about the area and put us in connection with a lender we loved; but most importantly, we felt like Diskin was truly in our corner at every step of the way. As first time home buyers, we were full of questions and nerves, but no issue seemed too big or too small for Diskin. He listened to what we were looking for in a home while keeping us within our target price range, we always felt comfortable asking him questions no matter how silly they seemed, he kept us motivated and active during our search, and he went above and beyond to help us land a home we fell in love with! We will forever recommend Diskin to friends and family for real estate needs, and feel so lucky to have had such a positive and amazing experience as first time home buyers due to Diskin's professionalism, authentic kindness, and passion for helping people find their perfect home!

ZillowVERIFIED After our first meeting with Diskin, he moved quickly to complete a market analysis for our house and had a first class listing quickly completed so our house could be marketed, resulting in Diskin presenting us an offer after only 3 days on the market! Diskin kept us informed and up to date through the remainder of the sales process and everything on the close went smoothly. This was my best house sales experience and I would highly recommend using Diskin as your Realtor and know you will be as satisfied as I am.

ZillowVERIFIED If you need to sell or buy a house, I highly recommend hiring Diskin Young for all real estate needs. My husband and I were recently tasked with the responsibility of selling a relatives home, and Disking made the process amazingly pain-free. He understands the housing market, and immediately identified the details that would get the house sold in the short amount of time we had. Aside from being a great real estate agent, he was personable and radiated a positive aEURoecan doaEUR? attitude. Diskin was recommended to us by a friend who worked with him to purchase her house, and now I'm recommending him to everyone I know who might be thinking of buying or selling a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Diskin had prepped us for the aEURoetypical processaEUR? in our current market. We were pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be one of the easiest home buying experiences we had. He made sure every process went as smoothly as possible and was there every step of the way. After we purchased the home he is still helping us making sure we have the best local contacts we need to renovate our home to make it exactly what we want. Couldnt ask for a better guy to work with!!

Review for Member: Diskin Young
ZillowVERIFIED Diskin provided invaluable guidance in purchasing a duplex as my first home and investment property. I was impressed with the knowledge he had about the local market and multifamily properties. He pointed out countless things I would not have thought to consider and gave me loads of confidence in making informed decisions. I never felt pressured, and he even helped talk me out of submitting an offer on a place that in hindsight I probably would have regretted purchasing. Diskin is very resourceful and well-connected, and we even explored some potential off-market opportunities as well. When the right property finally came up, he helped me get an early offer accepted and I'm absolutely thrilled with the place. He stayed on top of everything throughout the escrow process and ensured a punctual closure. His referrals were excellent too; I ended up using his recommendations for both the mortgage and inspection and am very glad I did. I honestly have zero complaints and am grateful to have had Diskin on my team. Highly recommended!

ZillowVERIFIED Personable. Knowledgeable. Responsive. Highly skilled in online marketing. All the attributes you want and need in today's crazy real estate world. Diskin went above and beyond to make the process as stress-free for us as possible, even when we encountered bumps along the way. He had great ideas about staging the house and marketing. He took our ideas and suggestions to heart and worked with us to find the best solutions. His observations were spot on, which resulted in multiple over-ask offers in two days. Whether we were buying or selling, we'd definitely hire Diskin again.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I found Diskin Young through a friend of a friend. Since we live more than three hours from Bellingham, it was important that we found a realtor willing to deal with the distance and all the details required of searching for and purchasing a home from afar. Diskin was that realtor. He notified us of new listings, educated us on the current Bellingham housing market, toured homes via facetime, dealt with our sometimes inconvenient schedule, and went to bat for us on every offer we made. Once we had an accepted offer, he continued to stick with us every step of the way and assisted us with EVERYTHING we needed even after the purchase was complete. Diskin Young is a professional, reliable, and relatable real estate agent who is there for his clients. I know that I can call him when we are in need of maintenance/repair referrals or even general information about this new-to-us location long after we actually made the purchase. Thank you, Diskin! We look forward to working with you in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED When you get a good real estate agent, you're not just getting access to their expertise and insights about the market and the process. You're getting access to their relationships. And at every turn, Diskin's relationships gave us an edge. Diskin helped my wife and I sell our home for $95K over asking price (we had more than 30 offers) and buy our new home with an offer that was $25K less than the highest offer. Whatcom County is a seller's market right now, and some people wonder why you'd even need an agent when you're selling. With Diskin, we got a level of local market research we never would've been able to conduct ourselves. Prices are all over the place right now and changing so fast, but Diskin validated a price based on what had sold nearby and identified a pricing gap in the market that would attract greater interest. Diskin also considered which aspects of our house would be most appealing and attention-grabbing in the moment, highlighting a possible office location we hadn't considered. Every possible showing we could've had for our house was booked. I believe there were over 70 separate showings from Thursday to Monday. Since we weren't sure how long it would take to find and buy a house, Diskin negotiated a rent back period that allowed us to stay in our old home for over a month after closing. This cushion was crucial for our family, and he made it work better than we could've imagined. On the buying side, Diskin never batted an eye when we asked to see a house, and he wasn't afraid to tell us his genuine opinions. With his past experience flipping houses and working with contractors, he was happy to share connections that could make repairs fast or affordably if something came up in a pre-inspection. We placed offers on four houses and ultimately got the fourth one. Every step of the way, Diskin shared the strategies that would make our offer the most competitive, and even on the houses we lost, we were one of the better offers. Diskin's relationships with other agents proved invaluable to us as we gauged where we stood, where we should focus our time and energy, and what would make our offers stand out most to a specific buyer. We plan to stay in this house for a long time, but if we ever buy or sell again we'll use Diskin again, and we will absolutely recommend him to our friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIED Diskin is an excellent realtor to work with. This is the second time he has helped me find a home, and in this case, he helped me list and sell my old home while simultaneously buying a new one. Selling and buying a home is always stressful, but Diskin's knowledge and connections in the Bellingham real estate market made the process much easier. Whenever issues would arise, he promptly communicated with me and we were able to solve them quickly. If you are looking to buy or sell a home in the area, I couldn't recommend him enough. I am currently in my dream home and I owe a lot of that to Diskin.

ZillowVERIFIED Diskin helped my buy my first home and he made the process so smooth and simple! He went above and beyond when I ran into issues with the loan process, and helped facilitate better communication with my lender. When we went for the final walk through we found unexpected imperfections and Diskin did everything he could to make sure I was comfortable moving into the home, and even negotiated some last minute fixes. He answered all of my questions, and also gave me helpful information I didn't know I needed. Diskin is great!

ZillowVERIFIED I cannot explain how happy I am with my first home buying experience! Diskin and the Bellwether Real Estate Group came highly recommended from various friends of mine and I could not have asked for a better team to work with! Diskin's communication was excellent throughout the whole process and provided updates, advice, and help every step of the way. Diskin was extremely organized when it came to providing a list of homes that met our needs and requirements and always offered his expertise when we sent him other listings. Diskin was exceptional during our negotiating and closing period and I feel like he worked extremely hard to make sure we got into the home we love. My wife and I saw the home buying process as a difficult and long process but Diskin completely changed our minds. I want to thank Colton as well for being so kind to drive to my previous apartment to gather information needed during the process as well as his quick responses to questions or offering assistance. We are so excited to start our family at this home and cannot thank the Diskin, and Colton enough for offering such a smooth and comfortable purchase experience. I want to also thank Monte & Lisa Young as well for having such talented sons and creating a business that exceeds all expectations! Thank you all!

Review for Member: Diskin Young
ZillowVERIFIED There are many reasons to sell a home; ours was that after almost 50 years in her Port Orchard home our mom could no longer live there due to health concerns. We asked Diskin to help us, emptied the house, moved Mom, and despite being cautioned by Diskin about market conditions, we looked forward to a quick sale. We quickly learned that Diskin's advice would be our guiding light through a process that did involve "quick" sales. Yes, like March madness, it took us all the way through the "Final Four" till the home finally closed. In relative terms it was a fairly fast journey with the first accepted offer within a week on the market in August and the fourth and final accepted offer coming in November, and closing on December 7th. In specific terms Diskin had to lead us through a rapidly declining market, while marketing a house that had aged 50 years and was not allowed any makeup for her final showing. In this process he negotiated with prospective buyers/agents any and all perceived faults while maintaining the initial pricing dignity for the old home, subject to appraisal. He led us from one dropped deal, (for one reason or another), to the next with amazing grace and optimism, always with the goal in mind, to retain as much market value for Mom that he could. He collected rent for extensions, dealt with leaks, septic tank and electrical issues, inspections, and all the normal issues that pertain to selling a older home; all the time with a smile and the goal of transparency and completion foremost. Diskin would, time and again, market this home to best advantage, such as it was; from Bellingham, with the drive and ferry to Port Orchard being as casual a requirement as a ordinary "open house". At each offer, or need to apprise, he would come to Mom, and explain her available options, answer her every question and try to protect her every interest. Due to the declining nature of Mom's health, Diskin was instrumental in advising that a trust be established so that a closing would not be affected and the financial processes would be protected. In closing, there are many reasons to select a real estate agent. In selecting Diskin Young of Bellwether Real Estate, we believe your reasons, whatever they may be, will be validated.

ZillowVERIFIED Diskin has helped me purchase and sell a number of properties and has done a great job, every time. He understood my requirements both when looking for property, and when the time came to sell. He is an amazingly friendly guy, and knows exactly how to work with the other agents to find win-wins that get everyone what they want with as little hassle as possible. At the same time, he fought to make sure I got the best deal I could and always talked me through the big decisions so that we stayed on the same page. He is always available when you need him and helped clear up a VERY last minute issue with a title company during the final stages of one sale.

Review for Member: Diskin Young
ZillowVERIFIED Diskin is the absolute best. We took our time looking for the right house for us in a challenging market where there is rarely a lot of inventory and there is always high competition. You need to have the best person working for you and Diskin exceeded our expectations in every capacity. He patiently and diligently showed us houses as soon as they became available and met our search criteria (sometimes within hours of them going on the market). Once we found the house for us, he put us in the perfect position to make a winning bid within our preferred price point. His expertise didn't stop there, as multiple issues arose after the building inspection and Diskin personally saw that all issues were addressed. Bottom line, he made the whole process as easy as can be.

ZillowVERIFIED Diskin provided an excellent market appraisal, right on for the area. I was in the area for this part. Then I moved to another country and Diskin was in charge of everything to sell my condo including brochure and advertising. We communicated by phone and I was conscientiously brought up to date as necessary. Diskin did an excellent job of selling my home 'long distance'. I left all the negotiating to him and my trust was rewarded! Within 3 days of going on the market we received 3 offers, all well over list price. I took his advice on which one to settle on and went forward. He kept me updated regularly on how the sale was proceeding and for the few things that needed doing he took care of that too. I would say Diskin is a dedicated, motivated, polite realtor and have no reservations recommending him to anyone! He is now an expert in foreign real estate transactions!!

ZillowVERIFIED Diskin prepared our listing very efficiently so that we were able to get our house on the market quickly. By doing a comprehensive market analysis he was able to price the home correctly and we received multiple offers within the first 5 days of listing. He guided us through the various offers and we selected the one best for us. He managed all the negotiations and we were able to close at an accelerated time table which fit our needs. We would highly recommend and will always use his able and professional skills.

ZillowVERIFIED Diskin was professional and prompt through the entire process of selling and buying. Anything we needed he was there, even loaning us art for a wall in our house so it looked just right for potential buyers. Diskin spent many evenings and weekends showing us properties and when it came to negotiating, was able to negotiate our offer over another. All around a great buying and selling experience, would highly recommend Diskin to anyone looking for an honest, hard working real estate agent.

Review for Member: Diskin Young
ZillowVERIFIED Diskin went above and beyond our expectations in helping sell our home. We had never sold a home before, so had a pretty high learning curve and lots of nervous questions that Diskin was incredibly helpful in addressing. He did a very thorough job researching comparables for our unique property, and helped us price it appropriately. He was patient and supportive with us while we moved into our new home, and took much longer than expected to get this property ready to sell. He also helped us with hours of work getting the property ready when we hit crunch times. He got us three offers within 24 hours of listing our place in November, and helped us get what we feel was a great price for our property. He worked tirelessly and communicated clearly and promptly. I would highly recommend Diskin Young for a realtor!
