As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
Testimonials
" Sept. 21, 2014 To Whom It May Concern Re: Michael Smith: Recommendation Michael did an excellent job in helping me find a new home. He took great consideration into a finding the features we wanted in a home and specifically targeted those. He worked so hard with endless paperwork and signings to keep things moving along. When I got impatient he could calm me down with his patient and assuring manner. I highly recommend Michael for any real estate planning. I appreciate all his mighty efforts, always with a smile and a quiet courtesy. Sincerely, Joan Kempinsky"

"I've known Mike for over 20 years, and when time came to sell a difficult piece of property for an out-of-town relative, he's who I turned to. It involved much research, hard work, and patience to fully market the unique aspects of the property, and thanks to Mike's diligence, we hammered out a deal that helped a young couple realize their dream. Instead of being saddled with a niche property, everyone went home happy. I would recommend him to anyone seeking to buy or sell in Whatcom County, without reservation. He made sure every "i was dotted and t was crossed" to make sure it was done right. Peggy Holstine"

"We listed a difficult to sell property on Lummi Island. Mike went out of his way to market it very professionally. He kept in close contact with information, advise and updates throughout the listing and sale process. This was made more difficult with us being out of state but never presented a problem. Patient, persistent, insightful and thorough."
