ZillowVERIFIEDHaving worked with Kurt in the past, we knew that we wanted to have him represent us again. Great communication, a willingness to go the extra 9, and great personality are just some of the attributes that drew us to Kurt and the team for another successful home purchase.

ZillowVERIFIED Kurt was great! We really enjoyed working with him! He gave us good consistent advice! And he was always available and responsive. Kurt was very patient with us while we finished preparing our home for sale and checked in regularly and even helped us put the finishing touches on our home! He took time out of his day to mow our lawn prior to sale! We really enjoyed working with Kurt and we would work with him again if we were to purchase or sell another home!

ZillowVERIFIED Kurt Swanson of the Windermere Swanson recently helped us sell our home of 25 years. Kurt was sensitive to the fact this was more than our house, it was our home. He was able to locate buyers who appreciated the custom details of our home, as well as our timing situation. He was able to negotiate a fair price for both parties. He kept track of the myriad of details involved with us being out of state, and the buyers out of town. I would highly recommend Kurt and the Swanson group.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband & I became aware that we needed to sell our rental home within a VERY short amount of time in order to take advantage of tremendous tax breaks. When a friend suggested Kurt, we called him & have been so glad that we did! Kurt understood our very limiting circumstances & sprang into action immediately. He worked with us very well & was very open to our suggestions, as well as keeping communication open with our renter during a very stressful time. Because of his professional help, our home was sold well within the needed time frame, which we feel was quite a feat for anyone! Thank you Kurt!

ZillowVERIFIED We first met Kurt Swanson in late 2020 when we first started looking for our next home in Bellingham. Although we instantly fell in love with the area, our plans were put on hold for over year. Kurt patiently stayed in touch with us during that delay, until we were ready to begin our search in earnest again. To make a long story short, he helped us close the deal on a home purchase after our very next trip to Bellingham in March of 2022. We thought our home search was going to be long and arduous, but Kurt made it quick and simple. Our summary of working with Kurt follows aEUR" personable, professional, communicative, patient, trustworthy, and extremely knowledgeable. We would highly recommend Kurt as your first or next realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED If you are in need of a realtor that is at the top of his game- come to Kurt Swanson and The Swanson Group. He assisted my Father with selling his condo and helped to facilitate his move out of state so he could live close to me. His expertise with the local market and pricing trends enabled my Father to get top dollar for his place. He and his team were responsive to our questions and worked hand in hand with the selling agent. Kurt even went above and beyond and assisted my Father to the title company on signing day. It's so refreshing to work with someone who understands what customer service is . Kurt operates with integrity, honesty and is genuinely a great person to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Having worked with Kurt now to both buy and sell, I would highly recommend him for all your real estate needs. Not only is he super responsive and delightful to work with, we benefitted from the value he brings with his extensive experience in the market as he helped us prepare the listing in a crazy market and most importantly how he interacted with the other realtor with finesse and integrity to work a deal beneficial to all parties.

ZillowVERIFIED Who sells a house during a pandemic? Kurt Swanson- realtor extraordinaire! Kurt is a caring, professional, and very knowledgeable realtor. He knew exactly the right price to set my house at for a fast and fair sale. He walked me through every step, always kept me informed, and was always readily available to answer any questions. Kurt came highly recommended and met all my expectations and more.

Review for Member: Kurt Swanson
ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I as Grandparents to be wanted to relocate from Iowa to the Pacific North West to start a new chapter in our lives by early 2020. At times it seemed like too much of a challenge to simultaneously sell our home in Iowa and find a new home in the Bellingham, WA area. Our IA realtor got on line and recommended the most experienced, highly rated, local agent she could find to help us achieve our goals. To say Kurt has exceeded our expectations is an understatement. His professionalism, experience, and knowledge of the local area helped immensely in getting us in to our new dream home. Kurt's patience and calm, steady demeanor helped my wife and I keep it all together when the stress of buying one home and selling another, at the same time, 1600 miles apart, sight unseen...pushed us to our limit. Like a true friend, Kurt had our back at all times and gave us the best advice, and confidence in our decisions, from start to closing. We would whole heartedly recommend Kurt to anyone interested in finding their dream home in the Bellingham, WA and surrounding area.

ZillowVERIFIED Kurt was the selling and buying agent for us on our recent adventure selling our condo and buying our first home. Kurt was comforting, responsive, and informative throughout the whole process. When we expressed concerns or had questions, he always laid out all our options and provided us with perfect clarity. He was responsive even to our painstakingly long and frequent emails, and made us feel comfortable and excited throughout the whole process. Anyone would be lucky to have Kurt on their team when buying near Bellingham.

ZillowVERIFIED Honest, helpful, attentive, and enjoyable. Did the job needed professionally and in a warm manner. Kurt made time for us to walk the property and house, to gain his ideas and wisdom on pre-sale prep, price, and language in the listing. I would hire him again.

ZillowVERIFIED Kurt is amazing! We purchased our home in a very competitive market during peak time, and Kurt was always prepared and by our side! He is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly cares about his clients. We have purchased multiple homes over the years, due to relocation, and with each sell/purchase I have become very particular about the type of agent I want to work with. Kurt far exceeded all of my expectations! After we closed on our home and discovered the builder had not finished cleaning up as agreed - Kurt was there! He showed up BEFORE us with his personal vacuum cleaner to help. Kurt went above and beyond for us during every step of our home buying process. He is truly the BEST! Thank you Kurt!!! We love our home!

ZillowVERIFIED We received a mailer from Kurt wondering if our rental property in Bellingham might be for sale. I called him back to correct some misinformation, and ended up chatting about our prospective move. I appreciated his friendly personality and professionalism, and his willingness to deal with residential instead of commercial property. He took us to visit many homes, engaged sellers and their agents, and finally sent us to Ferndale, where we found just what we had been looking for.

Review for Member: Kurt Swanson
ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I hired the Swanson group to help us sell our Bellingham home. We decided to switch to Kurt after another real estate agent wanted to list our home much lower than we knew it was worth. We had a few reasons for wanting to list our home at the price we did, and Kurt saw the value and agreed that the price range was suitable for our property. We ended up negotiating 7k higher than asking price, and Kurt made the entire process super easy for us. He and his group were communicative, professional, kind, and organized. We were very happy with our selling process and would recommend him to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIED Kurt and his team were wonderful to work with. The whole process of buying and selling (our first time to do both) was relatively painless! Kurt was always quick to respond to all of our questions and requests. We sold our home for over asking price in only a few days, and were able to find a wonderful, new home for the years to come. I highly recommend Kurt and his team.

ZillowVERIFIED Kurt was very knowledgeable and made sure I understood each step of the process, before we moved forward. Never rushed me to make decisions but gave me valuable information to help me be secure in all the decisions I did make. Was very helpful even with things he didn't have to be responsible for. Will definitely call on him again when I'm ready to sell another house in our family.

ZillowVERIFIED Kurt and his team made our cross-country relocation so smooth and stress-free. We really wanted to make sure our house sold before we moved away. Kurt made recommendations for ways to showcase our home's best features, he priced it right, and it sold in a matter of days with multiple offers for us to choose from. Wow! Thanks Kurt, Brad, and Morgan for making everything so easy. We highly recommend Kurt and the Swanson Group!

ZillowVERIFIED Kurt is very personable and friendly and has been in the Whatcom County area buy and selling homes for year! We had multiple issues come up with the property we purchased through Kurt but he helped us through them all and was great at negotiating the price down due to some things we'd have to fix. Our most recent purchase was an investment single family home to rent. Kurt has some rentals of his own and was able to provide invaluable insight to the local neighborhood in regards to being a landlord. We look forward to using Kurt again in the months and years to come!

ZillowVERIFIED If it were not for Brad, we wouldn't have found the lovely home we just purchased. He listened carefully to our "wish list" and directed us to an area we wouldn't have normally considered. It turned out to be a perfect match. Brad handled every aspect of our home purchase with thoughtful attention to detail and he was incredibly quick to respond to our questions and needs. He is kind, professional and efficient -- and he knows Western Washington! His office and team agents (Kurt Swanson and Morgan Takemura) were also very helpful. Our purchase was smooth and non-stressful, thanks to Brad and the Swanson Group in Bellingham.

Review for Member: Kurt Swanson
ZillowVERIFIED I was not enthusiastic about trying to buy a house in the Bellingham market. For my style of purchasing, this was not a favorable way to try to buy a house. However, Brad and Kurt were helpful and supportive and did not give up even when I was becoming frustrated with the market. I would recommend these two gentlemen to anyone who wants to work with calm, knowledgeable, and, overall awesome people who will make even buying a home in Whatcom County a fun experience. And because of them, I am now living in my dream house.

ZillowVERIFIED We sold our lake house with Kurt in 2000 and purchased a new one through him that same year. He's a totally ethical and professional guy! Recently, we sold a piece of property through Kurt, and he had to do a lot of phoning and negotiating in order to put the deal together for us, but together we succeeded. His partner, Brad Howell, sat with us at closing as Kurt was out of town. We have been very happy with Windermere Realty in general and the Swanson Group in particular. Thanks, guys!

ZillowVERIFIED In my opinion, you can't go wrong if you choose the Swanson group and any dealings I do in the future will definitely be through the Swanson group. Kurt was always available to help me even after work hours and during the weekends. If he was not available, he was able to set up an appointment with one of his associates. Kurt not only was available anytime I called, but provided an immense amount of value through the home buying process with his knowledge of Bellingham and his ability to cater his services to my needs and help me find a home that perfectly suited me.

Review for Member: Kurt Swanson
ZillowVERIFIED We chose Kurt Swanson based on a friend's recommendation and were not disappointed. Kurt brought a mature and sensitive understanding of the local scene to our particular concerns in the marketing of a unique, older property with both significant needs and great potential. Kurt and his partner, Brad, put together a successful marketing plan that gave maximum exposure to the potential for our 100 year old house and it's particular appeal. It all came together when a young family stepped in, fell in love with the place and made a generous offer. For the next several weeks both Kurt and Brad guided us from offer to closure. It has been a pleasure working with the Swanson group and we look back on both a successful sale and great relationships. Thanks, Kurt (also, Brad the the team)

ZillowVERIFIED This was a difficult property to sell. Like a gifted athlete Kurts group made it look easy.

ZillowVERIFIED We have sold 2 houses with Kurt and purchased 2 houses with Kurt. He has been with us every step of the way explaining every option available to us. Kurt kept us in the loop all the way through the process including any home repairs needed for selling and people that can help with them. If you need a real estate professional to buy a home or sell your home Kurt would be that guy!!

ZillowVERIFIED Very friendly and available when we needed any kind of help. Worked with us in developing and articulating our desires to the seller. Although it didn't all work out exactly as we wanted since the buyer was a bit inflexible, we ended on a reasonable agreement anyway. Kurt and Brad are definitely willing to go out of their way to help. They were creative in coming to a solution when we reached a bit of a deadlock with the seller. Happy with our new home!

He has a great knowledge of the Bellingham market, and what needs to be done to a house to put it up for sale. He is also there to help you as you ready your house. His associates are very professional and easy to work with. We would be very happy to work with Kurt in the Future.

ZillowVERIFIED We had a property in Chuckanut Crest Estates with Kurt. Kurt provided great local knowledge and was very responsive and extremely patient in dealing with both parties. It was a very difficult real estate deal due to the history of the property, but with the assistance of Kurt Swanson, and Brad Howell, the deal was closed without difficulties. Thanks Kurt!
