About Us:

Real Estate is not a job to me, it's a way of life. My business partner Ryan Martin and I really do enjoy helping buyers and sellers achieve their goals. Our office is located in Fairhaven on the corner of 12th and Old Fairhaven Parkway in Bellingham. The market area we work is within 60 minutes driving time of our office, which covers all of Whatcom County and most of Skagit County. Seldom do we make exception to service clients south of the Skagit County Line. We do have a structured referral program that is based on a sliding scale depending upon the buyer and property type being referred. Ryan and I are full time, full service agents, with a very high percentage of successfully closed sales each year. We will do our part and more in every transaction.

When Representing our Buyers

In 1997 the State of Washington changed the long standing laws on the books to make it possible for Buyers of real property to have full representation in purchasing real estate. Believe it or not, until 1997 the Listing Agent and the Buyer's Agent represented the Seller regardless as to whether a Buyer had designated an agent to assist them in their purchase. Why Washington State waited so long to address the need of Buyers to have full representation will likely never be clear.

Entering into a Buyer's Agency Agreement establishes from the beginning that as your Buyer's Agents we will provide you with as much detailed information as possible on the properties you are interested in seeing. This includes listed and unlisted properties. The information we provide will be based upon fact and upon our extensive knowledge of the area and property type. As your Buyer's Agents, we have no obligation to any one Seller to promote the sale of their property.

A typical purchase and sale is 12 pages long and it is not unusual for it to be up to 16 pages long. This is before the contingency addendums, notices, responses to notices and disclosures are added as the purchase progresses toward closing. Through years of experience, we understand the ever changing contracts and are alert to what may be presented to you by a Seller or Listing Agent that is in your best interest and more importantly what isn't.

Our fees are almost without exception paid in full by the Seller at closing. Statistically most properties are offered for sale through a Listing Agent where the Seller has agreed to pay a Buyer's Agent commission.

Most For Sale By Owners are not experienced in selling real estate and have no expertise in putting together a successful sale that is in full compliance with Washington State Law. Non-disclosure, followed by fraud, are the biggest problems. Ignorance of the Law of Washington State is no excuse and could easily land the Buyer and Seller in court months or years after the date of closing. Many FSBO's offer Buyer's Agent commission and to date we have been very successful in getting our fee paid by the seller at closing.

Upon retaining our Exclusive Buyer's Agency Services, it becomes our duty to the following:

- Be loyal and take no action that is adverse or detrimental to you.

- Disclose conflicts of interests, if any.

- Advise you to seek expert advice on matters beyond our expertise.

- Not disclose confidential information about you.

- Make a good faith and continuous effort to find you a property.

Remember, Listing Agents are obligated to represent the Seller, not you as a Buyer. We will commit to exclusively representing you in your purchase if you will commit to us as your Buyer's Agents.

When Representing our Sellers

Staying in touch

First and foremost, staying in touch with our clients is one of the keys to keeping successful relationship in real estate. Because we are highly educated within our areas of expertise, we constantly update our clients on current market trends. Not only do we keep our sellers updated with the showings of their property, we also keep them informed on what else is on the market and what is pending or sold. We do not force our sellers into long term listing agreements because we keep good relationships. If for some reason one of our clients is unhappy, we work out the problem or we agree to terminate our relationship. We like to be happy, we want you to be happy and will prove to you that you will be happy.

Professional Photos

A picture is worth a thousand words, or thousands of dollars in your case. We will take professional quality still and 'virtual tour' panorama shots of the interior and exterior of your home and of your setting/view. We create a color brochure of your property that goes inside your home and a full compliment of color photos accompanies every listing in the MLS with an upgraded photo gallery integrated into Windermere.com.

Online Marketing

People have become savvy home buyers and are aware that they can view the entire inventory of available property if they find a site that connects them to the MLS. This has made the importance of high quality photos essential to marketing property on the internet. Buyer will dismiss listings without complete information, including high quality photos & 360 tours. We strive to put your home above the competition when it comes to showcasing your property on the Internet.
