    About Michelle Harrington

    Michelle was born in Newport Beach, California where her love for real estate started young by attending open houses of celebrities on Sundays with her sisters. She is the youngest of four accomplished women. As a child, swimming was the life of all her sisters. Countless hours were spent at the Swim Club hanging out with 'swimming families'. Michelle and her sisters were influenced in the 1970s by the remarkable Mark Spitz along with coaching great Mark Schubert, they all had dreams of being the Olympians. In her young adult life, Michelle focused on college and the future. She desired to be well-versed and fluent in languages like French, German, Swedish, and English like her mom. Michelle's passion for culture was rooted in her at a young age after traveling to Europe. This combination led Michelle to graduate in International Business at San Diego State University. After a move to Seattle and then Bellingham for family, Michelle's love for real estate was reignited. Michelle had an innate knack for real estate, driven by her personal experiences. It was the culmination of Michelle's competitive nature, desire for perfection, and love of people: real estate was a natural fit. She quickly became one of the top brokers in Bellingham and remains in the top 1% of brokers in Whatcom County and Northwest Washington.

    Ten months ago, we wrote a review singing Michelles praises after she sold our house in a fickle market. Since then, we sold another home in Semiahmoo in mid-November. Michelle strikes again! After reading our previous comments, wed like to add that beyond being a savvy real estate agent, Michelle is a big-hearted person whose priorities are people over profits. Dont hesitate to contact her when youre ready to list. Theres not a day that passes when we dont feel grateful for giving her our business.

    Michelle is a wonderful asset when buying or selling a home. She helped us buy and sell two places in Bellingham. Most recently we needed to sell our house due to a job relocation and Michelle helped us get it ready, staged and advertised. Her professionalism helped us get a fantastic price for our home. Hands down she is the best in Bellingham!

    Michelle helped sell our house and buy a condo. She sold us the house 23 years ago. She was an eager rookie rep back then. Shes very established now. Lots of resources and tons of knowledge about Whatcom County and the buy/sell process. We closed on both transactions on the same day. She made it seamless for us. It couldnt have gone better. She gets our highest recommendation.

    We have worked with Michelle Harrington several times over the past few years, and every single time we are impressed with her ability to get the job done, quickly and efficiently! Her years of experience, extensive knowledge, and passion for her work shine through on every project. Michelle makes buying and selling properties easy and painless. My husband and I truly love working with her, and we are happy to recommend her to anyone needing a real estate professional. She's the best!

    I am new to the Bellingham area. Faced with house-hunting in a completely unknown place, I sought out Michelle Harrington based on her reputation and the information available on-line, so we really began working together without ever having met. I wanted a real estate agent who was ethical, smart, and experienced. I literally put my life in Michelles hands since I was facing a huge transition, moving from east coast to west coast, and she did not let me down one iota! She is knowledgeable on so many levels: legal parameters, geographic pros and cons, marketing trends, general construction considerations, valuations, and more. And on top of it, she has integrity and is extremely accessible. Michelle exceeded my expectations on every level. I highly recommend her.
