OUR  CUSTOMERS LOVE US

  • Jennifer Moldver
    I love working at RE/MAX Whatcom County. For this non techy girl the help provided by Janel Westerfield is a godsend! She even fixed an issue I was having that was non-work related.
  • P B 707
    JAY DHINDSA at RE/MAX Whatcom county did a fantastic job helping us find our first home in Blaine! We are very happy with the decision we made with Jay’s help. We chose Jay because he took the time to explain everything clearly, gave us honest opinions and he had years of experience. Thank you again for making our dream a reality and we could not have done this without your help, I highly recommend him to everyone who is looking to buy a property. Thanks again RE/MAX team.
  • Briddick Webb
    Let me start by saying a tad biased. I’ve been a real estate broker for 13 years (over 12 at REMAX) and I can honestly say these are the best group of professionals I’ve ever encountered. All of the agents are top notch, the training, marketing, and presence in the community is unparalleled. Lori is a tremendous Designated Broker and I feel fortunate to get to hang my license here. If you’re considering hiring a real estate agent, look no further. There’s a reason people have trusted RE/MAX for 50 years.
  • Steve Stojak
    I'm not someone who leaves a lot of reviews but when its called for you make the exception. We just recently decided to purchase a vacation property near MT Baker and were not sure how to go about it as we are from Canada. We didn't know anyone to help us but found a listing that Brian Hefter was sell selling and reached out to him. We talked on the phone a couple of times and then we were able to meet the next week when we came down. Brian showed us several properties that were interesting and met our needs. We had a great time getting to know each other and talk about how things work. We ended up finding our dream property that day thanks to Brian's hard work and time. He then introduced us to the rest of the team at ReMax that we would be dealing with for the rest of the purchase. From day one everyone has been incredibly helpful and beyond friendly to us. There have been parts of the transaction that went butter smooth and there were some large hiccup's due to the seller. I was shocked at how fast and efficient the whole office were able to find solutions. Mark Frye was able to pull a rabbit out of a hat to help with one of the situations I was getting stressed about. When the sale finalized the team was very gracious to us and Brian came to the property and did a massive walk through to make sure everything was good. He has also offered his own time to remove some items that were left by the old owners. The story doesn't end there. We got a call this week from the propane company that our tank was empty and the had filled it but couldn't turn the heat back on. I reached out to Brian to ask who we could call to help get it back on? He said don't worry about it. He drove 45 min to go turn it on for us. The ReMax team is a very special group and I now consider Brian a friend. If you are looking for professional and more importantly friendly people who will do whatever it takes to help and make you happy do yourself a favor and call them.
  • Mark Klenk
    We worked with Josh and Kelli most recently at Re/Max in Bellingham, both on the buy and sell side. We would definitely recommend them, especially for relocating. They did a great job listening, finding places that match what we were looking for, and being on top of things logistically and communication-wise. Our experiences were with condos, so we can't comment on the single-family home side. Ultimately, we have done three transactions with them (2x buy, 1x sell).
  • David Fox
    Lilia Orlova is a wonderful agent with Bellingham Remax. She worked tirelessly to get answers about properties we were interested in and constantly refined the properties to show us based on the places we saw and liked. Once we had seen the properties in Bellingham, she pulled in nearby properties until we found the perfect place that suited our needs. She has a group of contractors who she called on whenever we needed them and they also responded in a timely manner. She was willing to make a three hour round trip to pick us up from the airport and return us when we had to leave. She is very good at communicating where we were in the process of buying our home, and making us feel welcome in the community.
  • John Palicka
    John Sands is no B.S. Impartial (we needed him as a dual agent). This guy is clean.
  • Forrest Copeland
    Laura Sanderson at RE/MAX did a fantastic job helping us find our first home in Bellingham! We’ve been in our home for a few months now and are very happy with the decision we made with Laura’s help. Before beginning the home buying process, we met with several different realtors from a variety of companies in Bellingham. We chose Laura because she took the time to explain everything clearly, gave us honest answers/opinions, had years of experience, and most importantly, made us feel at ease. Working with Laura was great. She was always available to answer questions and schedule showings. Her responses were prompt and honest and we really valued her thoughtful and methodical insights. First time home buying is difficult and stressful. We encountered errors and negligence in almost every step of our home-buying process (credit union, inspection, bank, title company). Laura was the one exception. Her professionalism and diligence really showed. She was always prepared, always accurate, always punctual, and always available to help. We were glad to have Laura on our team and look forward to working with her again. We highly recommend Laura Sanderson!
  • Noreen Clark
    When I move to the Bellingham area in the near future I will link up with Kristin Clarkman to help me find a place to live. I admire her knowledge of real estate, appreciate her thoughts on securing financing, and would trust her to guide me in the right direction.
  • Jason Yu
    Thank you Lori giving us very good professional advices
