    About Keith Cook

    In my 30+ years of being a real estate broker, I've been involved in hundreds of transactions; but quantity isn't the most-important thing to judge a broker on. The experience I've gained from working with a unique property, buyer, and seller each transaction is invaluable--and much more qualifying than a simple number of transactions. When you have as much experience working in real estate as I do, you get to see some challenging situations--and even better, you get to solve those problems for your client. After 30 years in this profession, I have the necessary skills to solve most problems and provide you with the best service possible. Everything I've done in my career has been in the best interest of my clients. That is why I'm always honest with my clients and why I am not afraid to have candid discussions with them in order to get them an outcome they're pleased with. I've been around real estate my entire life so it was only natural for me to find a career as a broker. My father was a commercial broker in Seattle for 45 years and gave me a strong appreciation for working in real estate. Before finding my way into real estate, however, I had a few different jobs and lived in a few different places. After receiving an Honorable Discharge from the Army at the ripe old age of 20, I began working on a fishing boat in Alaska before returning to the Seattle. I then worked as a cook and in construction for a time before getting my broker's license. After a few years in Seattle, I moved back to my hometown of Bellingham and I've been here ever since. While not at work, I enjoy spending time with my teenage son. I also spend my time traveling, camping, quading, skiing, golfing, hiking and biking. I consider myself somewhat of an expert on Bellingham and Whatcom County. I love to explore my area--I've been on every street in Bellingham and nearly all the roads in Whatcom County. If you have any questions about relocating to Whatcom County, the real estate market, or Bellingham in general, I'd be happy to answer those for you. Between Sally Webb (my partner of 10 years) and I, we know just about everything there is to know about the real estate market in this area; and we'd love to give you a tour.

    Extremely pleased with selecting Dave Harmon for Listing Agent! Dave offered suggestions to enhance the house, provided status updates of comparable homes on the market as well as information on new listings. Dave did an excellent job of keeping in touch with us at all stages from showings to closing, plus was always reachable and available when needed. Dave was proactive from start to finish doing the work aEUR" Dave will be our first choice for a future agent and highly recommend him for yours.

    Dave went beyond what I expected from a real estate agent, including inspecting the crawl space and attic himself. He arranged for a specialist to look over the crawl space, and arranged to have the necessary work done. Above all he was friendly and communicative, and his suggested pricing was spot on.

    I was very happy with the Team that Keith has.. very impressed with the photos and preparation of the house. We are close friends, but he was very professional. He got what I wanted for the house and everything went smooth, efficient and I wouldn't hire anyone else.

    The first time I worked with David, he helped me buy a commercial property. It was a no brainer when I needed to sell a residential property. David went OVER and ABOVE to help me sell. He cam with his leave blower and helped me clean out the garage in minutes. Also he steam cleaned a piece of carpet and painted an ugly wall (small area, but still!! Who does that?? David does!) I highly recommend working with David. He is approachable, a hard worker, and honest. I will bring him whatever real estate business that I can!

    David and his team played a crucial role in facilitating the speedy sale of our home, achieving a sales price nearly 10% above our initial asking price, and securing a cash sale within just one week of listing. Throughout the entire process, David and his team displayed professionalism, responsiveness, and a high level of expertise. They provided valuable suggestions for preparing the property for sale and offered guidance at every stage of the sales process, including navigating complex situations such as dealing with existing leases and tenants. In addition to their knowledge and expertise, David and his team demonstrated their commitment to excellence by conducting thorough research to address any uncertainties that arose. They assisted with the necessary paperwork for lease assignments and ensured all closing documents were in order. Their strong negotiation skills were evident in their ability to secure multiple offers and ultimately secure an outstanding offer for the home. The team's videographer excelled in capturing the essence of the property, while their wide network of contacts proved invaluable in preparing the home for sale. Their recommended contractors and home stager, Savvy Ness Interiors, provided exceptional service and contributed to the overall success of the sale. David and his team also leveraged their relationships with the title company to negotiate a discounted fee and ensure a smooth and efficient closing process. The title company personnel chosen by David demonstrated excellent communication and professionalism throughout. We entrusted David Harmon and his team with the significant task of selling our home, and we are extremely grateful for their expertise and guidance. Working with David and his team was a true blessing, and their effective negotiation skills helped expedite the entire process.
