ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I began working with Kena Brashears team, including Becki Murphy, at the Muljat Group in Bellingham in May of this year. As buyers, we were new to the area real estate market, and had heard from friends that properties were moving fast in a sellers market. We knew we needed an agent and team who were experienced go-getters in Whatcom County, and who had the relationships it would take for us to be successful working within a modest budget. Our mortgage broker recommended Kenas team, along with several other Bellingham-based agents but, after meeting with Kena first, we realized right away that she was the one for us. We were immediately impressed with her absolute focus on us in our meeting, and how she actively listened to us describe what we were looking for. On top of this, she had concise answers to our questions and quickly moved to setting up a game plan for visiting available properties. Once we began seeing properties in the field we began to work closely with Becki Murphy, a newer member of Kenas team but an experienced agent with many years in the industry. Becki has great, positive energy and clearly enjoys helping people find the home of their dreams, and the adventure of exploring neighborhoods, homes, and lots. Both women were always available, almost at the drop of the hat, and consistently deferred to our schedule needs. When they worked with us in the field it was not uncommon for them to literally get their hands or shoes dirty investigating plumbing, exterior trim, or backyard decks. They have sharp eyes and noticed the essential details, as well as the details that mattered to us. Their ears were also sharp, with both having an extensive network of contacts in aEURoethe business,aEUR? which helped us capitalize on pre-market properties and initial contacts with sellers and agents prior to houses appearing on the local market. Once we were making offers on properties, Becki and Kena were constantly in touch with us via text, phone, and email, though never in a way we found intrusive or crossing boundaries. When negotiations had commenced they were even more available throughout most days of the week, at times clearly sacrificing time with family and friends in order to communicate with a seller, answer our questions, or helping us see a property one more time. When we finally had mutual agreement on our new home, both women brought their skills to bear on the seller and his agent, making sure that several significant and last minute challenges to closing were taken care of in a professional, respectful, and timely manner. One of the last memories we will carry was Becki traveling to the house on a Saturday evening to personally inspect our closing punch-list and, when we arrived later, she informed us that she had been scrubbing at some nicks on the interior trim with a bottle of Old English. . .now thats service! We recommend Kena Brashears team at the Muljat Group without hesitation, and urge you to take the time to set up an initial consultation with her. We will certainly be considering her when it comes time to sell our home though, thankfully, we will not be taking this on any time in the near future! Thank you so much Kena and Becki: we love our new home in Sudden Valley, and so do the dogs.
