I just wanted to establish a relationship with a realtor in case we did see something we liked. Jenni was perfectly fine with that and we had an excellent chat, establishing what we were looking for and promising to keep her eye out. As it happened, a property that we had been interested in returned to the market two days later and I reached out to her to ask for a video walkthrough. She was able to do that quickly enough for me to see it before we were out of contact for the weekend, which let us make arrangements as soon as we got home to come up and see the house in person that next week. When we had questions about the house, she went above and beyond to get us answers, including tracking down information the seller's agent should have provided (but hadn't!). Once we put in the offer, she made getting through the inspection process easy, especially for someone coordinating it from out of state. She was able to get estimates so we could ask for a reasonable amount of credit on the sale and all of the folks she has recommended have been top notch. We were able to close early in a large part because of her work and she made the whole experience smooth and easy (or at least as easy and stress-free as buying a house from two states away can be!). We're very excited to move up to Bellingham and start the next chapter of our lives and it wouldn't have been possible without Jenni.

Simply put, Vanessa Parry is an exceptional realtor. She is a consummate professional, incredibly…read moreresponsive communicator, and will always provide you with all your options for every situation you may encounter! Her upbeat, calm, and objective approach to the real-estate process makes working through the many steps, forms, and questions that go along with buying or selling a home a more pleasant experience. We have had the good fortune to work with Vanessa on three separate properties and in each case, she has been attentive, supportive, and often thought of answers to questions before we could even ask them. Most importantly, Vanessa never pressures or pushes and respects her clients positions, even if a decision has to get made - she supports the process, provides ALL the information, and then executes whatever decision is made. In addition to her positive attitude and her seemingly endless energy, Vanessa is also impeccably well-connected. Her strong networking skills allow her to put both homeowners and buyers in contact with people who can help them with any number of projects - painting, general contracting, handyman services - you name it and Vanessa knows who to talk to! And if she doesn't, she does the ground work to find somebody who does. In every circumstance, Vanessa goes above and beyond to make her clients feel at ease. At the end of day, we can probably all agree, that buying or selling a house can be a difficult and sometimes stressful process. But with Vanessa Parry as your realtor, you are in for a first-rate experience sure to calm even the most anxious of buyers (or sellers)! You won't find a more caring and professional realtor around!

She showed us many houses, listening to our needs and offering valuable insights. When we finally found a home that was right for us, we were ready to jump. Julie helped us write a competitive offer that was accepted -no small feat in this crazy market! Julie's help getting to closing was also essential. She kept us on track with every step and was in constant reliable communication with the lender, the seller, the closing agent, and us. When we ran into trouble with our national lender moving the process forward to close on time, Julie talked us through every option. It all worked out perfectly, (we switched to WECU where we got great service and were even able to close a week early) but the process sure was stressful. I can't express how valuable Julie's presence and insights were during this time. Julie is organized, experienced, knowledgeable, available, and caring. I recommend her without hesitation.

We just had an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience dealing with Jon, who represented…read morethe seller and we were buyers. Just 3 days after the listing went live, we arrived for a site visit and made an offer $35K over asking price, and in a very slow and challenging market for sellers, due to ultra high mortgage rates and virtually no turnover of inventory on the market. We presented out letter of pre-approval and met all of his very time-sensitive milestones to submit our bid. In return, he repeatedly ignored his own stated timeline and deadlines to reply, dragged this out for 4 days, and then told us the reason for his lack of follow-through and timely communication was that he was skiing! We did not make a lowball offer - it was a generous offer, backed up by a pre-approval letter form a very prominent and respected mortgage broker, and he treated us with absolutely zero respect or consideration. Finally, in frustration, we withdrew our bid, which may have hurt the seller as well. We advise in the strongest possible terms to avoid dealing with Jon Hansen or the Hansen Group, this was a nightmare experience, and so unnecessary. Of course we are disappointed we didn't win the property, but that's not the reason for the review. The review is because throughout the process, Jon showed absolutely no professional or personal respect or even basic consideration for the value of our time or good intentions. Whether you are a seller or a buyer, you have many other choices for a real estate agent in Whatcom County. Look elsewhere.

We had a wide range of places we were open to, and many want/need lists to work with, that often clashed. He was incredible about making sure we got in to places that looked promising as fast as possible, not wasting our time with places that wouldn't work out. He was often the voice of reason, making sure we stayed on track for our goal. Once we got into a home for a showing, he was invaluable for not only pointing out issues and pros of the place, but keeping everyone thinking realistically about how problematic/beneficial something actually was in dollars and cents. His communication skills are astounding, keeping everyone informed while also being an excellent listener to his clients' needs. Not only did he find us the absolute perfect place, but along the way he educated us a lot not only on the local market, but on what we'd need to look for/keep up in our new home, moving forward. It's one thing to have an expert find you a home- it's another thing entirely for them to also keep your decisions well-informed during such a long, draining, complicated process.
