Moving our family to Whatcom county from out of state was one of the biggest decisions weve made, and having Austin in our corner changed everything. Our purchase was a little complicated with some very tight timelines, and Austin was an absolute rock. He advocated fiercely when negotiations got tough, kept us grounded, caught details we would have missed, and never once made us feel rushed or aEURoesold to.aEUR? Hes deeply knowledgeable about the local market and incredibly well connected to a network of contractors, lenders, inspectors, etc. And even after closing, hes continued to show up for us. That alone says everything. Clear communication. Zero ego. Steady presence. Real advocacy. We werent just buying a house, we were choosing where to build our life. Austin understood that, and he treated it that way. Couldnt recommend him more.

My husband and I were first time home buyers and Austin was stellar as our agent. He was so savvy in the way he negotiated the price of our home down to below asking price (by leveraging the inspection and contractor quotes). He was very organized and hands on. He coordinated contractors for second opinions and met them onsite. Austin was also very communicative and knowledgable of the Bellingham area. I 10/10 would recommend him to anyone and everyone I know.

Jessa helped us sell our home as well as buy our next home. She is the most helpful, friendly, professional and amazing realtor and I can't recommend her enough. When selling our home she was able to provide us with so many resources and advocate to ensure we are getting the best deal. During a rough market for selling she was able to advertise the home in the best way possible and get it sold quickly. Same goes for buying a house. She has so many connections and was able to advocate and make sure we had as much information possible going into our purchase and not have any surprises. She is very knowledgable on things to look for and who to go for for a professional opinion/bids. She helped set us up for success and settle in our forever home.

Austin added so much value to our home buying process- its not easy to schedule and coordinate contractors (not to mention finding trustworthy ones). All of that extra effort and his skillful negotiation got us $40k off the list price plus additional seller credits to cover closing costs. Austin is easy to work with, knows a ton about the area, and most importantly got us into our first home by getting a great deal.

Austin did an amazing job showing us around our desired apartment. He was knowledgeable of the area and was very helpful on finding the place! I would definitely recommend him to anyone who was looking for a place to stay in Bellingham!
