Luis and Meagan provided the ideal experience as realtors. We came into the process wanting to move quickly due to an expiring lease and they matched our energy. Whether it was scheduling tours same day or answering late night texts, they went above and beyond to help us find a house in record time. We had a unique mortgage situation that required more involvment from ourselves, realtors, and the title company, and Luis quickly put together all the moving pieces and kept things running smoothly. They also connected us with trusted professionals from roofers to inspectors to HVAC technicians, ensuring that we were supported even after the sale. As first time homebuyers, we needed someone with the experience to both close our purchase and to walk us through the process and we absolutely found that with Luis and Meagan. We would happily recommend them to anyone looking to buy!
Jen is an excellent realtor and former contractor who were the has all of the skills to make buying or selling a property easy on the client. She gave great advice on projects to complete before listing and projects to differ. Hired excellent staging from Green House - really made the property look great! We had a couple snafu’s with potential buyers and ultimately the transaction took longer than we expected – but Jen was there every step of the way following up negotiating, ensuring all the T’s were crossed, and the I were dotted. Jen’s personality and interpersonal skills are perfect for being a realtor! She’s able to translate needs and wants of both parties and figure out a way to get the deal done. We cannot recommend Jen highly enough- we will absolutely go with Jen for any property transactions we have in the future.
Faith is the best in every way! She has extensive experience and always gives 110%!
Faith is personable, professional, knowledgeable, and patient for answering our many questions. She knew what to offer to swiftly close on a competitive listing and was available when we needed her.
Faith always goes above and beyond her clients to make sure everything goes smoothly even when there’s bumps along the way. They found the perfect place for me and my daughter and I couldn’t be happier.
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!
