Feature Friday: Celebrating Michael Shkurat, Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE)

At RE/MAX Whatcom County, we’re thrilled to share that our very own Michael Shkurat has earned the prestigious Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE) certification. This designation, recognized by the National Association of REALTORS®, places Michael among the industry’s top negotiators, ensuring his clients receive the best outcomes in every transaction.

With a degree in Economics and Political Science from Western Washington University and fluency in Ukrainian and Russian, Michael combines deep market knowledge with personalized service. His dedication to professional growth and community involvement, including volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, makes him a true asset to our team and the clients he serves.
