My name is Jennifer, and I recently sold an apartment in Bellingham. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our real estate agent, Jan Chen, for helping us achieve this goal. Back in July, our tenants moved out, and we urgently needed an agent to handle the sale; since we live out of state, managing the entire process ourselves would have been very inconvenient. We were delighted to meet Jay; he made a great first impression—friendly, reliable, and highly professional. He organized everything in just a few days—from taking over the property and arranging renovations to officially listing it on the market. Jay was enthusiastic and patient, always consulting us before taking any action. He is hardworking, a skilled problem-solver, and a truly trustworthy professional. Despite a sluggish real estate market at the time, our apartment sold just 32 days after listing—a success largely due to the wonderful collaboration with Jay and his team. We are extremely satisfied. Thank you, Jan Chen! If you are looking for a professional to help buy or sell a home, I highly recommend Jay Chen; working with him makes the entire process easy, pleasant, and worry-free. I will certainly work with him again in the future.
Jen was very helpful during the whole process of selling my Grandma's condo. I did not have any knowledge or experience in selling real estate before this transaction. Jen helped me through the process effortlessly and answered all of my questions with patience and kindness, even when I would ask the same question multiple times.

Meagan and Luis were great to work with. Luis had reached out about my home when he saw me post that I was looking to do FSBO on facebook. At first I was skeptical, but he had sent me a hand written letter and I thought that was a class act. I decided to call him and we had a good initial conversation. Throughout the process, he gave me multiple thorough market reports, even came over to pick me up and drive around my neighborhood and show me comps, and detail what our competition was like. Meagan did a fantastic job with the photography and advertising, I almost didn't even recognize my home when I saw the final product for sale. I had once been skeptical about real estate agents all together, but I genuinely feel like I made new friends through this process. I cannot say enough good things about the professionalism of these two, and felt like they actually cared. They provided a great service, I didn't have to worry a single step of the way. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for an agent, and they will be my first call next time I am looking to buy or sell any piece of property in the area.
When recently selling our home in Bellingham, Jen Sandoval proved to be an exceptional realtor. From my first contact with her, she washighly professional, informative, and proactive. Living out of state during the selling process, we had a unique situation to deal with, and with Jen’s specific background in home remodeling and her expertise in preparing a home for sale, we successfully sailed through an atypical process with confidence in her project management skills. Jen is an enthusiastic problem solver, and talented in navigating all associated realty issues big and small. In addition, she has deep historical and current knowledge of the local real estate market and she can expertly meet the marketing challenges of property assessment and pricing. Jen Sandoval was always accessible by phone, email, and text. She checked in often, and proved to be a skilled, full-service resource for us from beginning to end. I highly recommend her.
Rob, has been very kind and flexible. Working with him was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Throughout the sale of my home, he was incredibly communicative, keeping me informed every step of the way and always making time to answer my questions. His flexibility made the entire process much less stressful, as he was always willing to work around my schedule and adapt to any changes that came up. Rob’s professionalism, knowledge, and dedication gave me confidence throughout the entire sale. I truly felt like they had my best interests in mind and went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who is responsive, reliable, and genuinely cares about their clients. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one!
Justin exceeded my expectations in every way. I will call him again any time I need to buy or sell a house.
Will helped us sell our first home, and I'm so glad we got to work with him. Selling a place is really scary; there's so much I had absolutely no idea about, I felt like I was instantly underwater. Luckily we had Will in our corner. He knew exactly what to do, and helped us all throughout the process. Will and his amazing team helped get the property in order and really made the place stand out. He has great instincts about the real estate market, and was able to help us get a strong price for our place. I highly, highly recommend working with Will and his team.
Paul is the best. Hands down. If you need a very knowledgeable realtor, especially for country property or a unique property. He has amazing communication and always kept me well informed during the process. Thanks Paul!
Faith always goes above and beyond with her clients. She motivated us to get the fixes we needed to get done to have a fast sale and when snags came up she dealt with them promptly and with efficiency. This is the second house I’ve sold with Faith and both times the sales we so fast! She puts her blood sweat and tears into it and truly cares about her clients. Don’t go anywhere else, choose Faith!!
I have the highest respect and admiration for Faith. She made the process of selling a home in a difficult and complex situation manageable with a pleasant outcome. She plans and instructs with purpose and care. She listens to her clients desires with attentiveness and clarity. She pours her experience into a desired outcome that goes beyond most in her profession. Faith's character will leave you with a trust that your home will be valued while in the process of changing hands. I recommend Faith and her instinct for delivering a favorable sales result in any seasonal market condition.
