This was the second time using Paul to help us sell a house. He is very easy to communicate with. Paul had a good marketing strategy, the house was staged and open houses were planned and carried out. He has a very good knowledge of the market. Both times he helped us price the house so we got fair offers right away. He isn't the kind of realtor that prices high and then has to lower the price to get offers. I appreciate that. The house had some issues that were revealed in the inspection. Paul helped us work through the issues and with his experience and connections kept the sale moving forward. He was very helpful through the whole process. I would highly recommend Paul if you are selling or buying.
Paul has worked with my family for over 20 years when he helped my dad buy his first house and now things have come full circle and he helped my wife and I buy our first home together. He has also gone above and beyond, helping us negotiate the price down by $20k after the price was already reduced by about $15k from when it was initially listed. He has helped with us getting work done around the house by personally hiring people he already knows and has worked with including HVAC, cleaning gutters, redoing caulk and more. Overall I highly recommend Paul and anyone else working with John L. Scott Real Estate!
Our second time working with Faith resulted in yet another successful transaction. Faith is professional, honest and knows the market well. She kept us well informed every step of the way. Our condo sold quickly at a great price. Faith is fantastic!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience working with my realtor, Faith Ulate. From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping me make the right decision in purchasing a home for this next chapter of my life. She took the time to answer every question, explained details clearly, and advocated for me every step of the way. Her cheerful and calm demeanor, her integrity, and her deep understanding of the local Bellingham market made my experience feel manageable and even enjoyable. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a realtor who is both highly competent and deeply human.
Sy was, and is, great to work with! Very responsive and helpful.
We cannot express our thanks to Paulina enough for her hard work and friendship. It was a long haul and she was always there to provide answers to questions and advice. She did an amazing job listing and advertising our home in more ways than we could have imagined. Thank you thank you !!!
Putting your house on the market and moving can be one of the most stressful, physically and emotionally draining experiences of a person's life. I know it was for me! This move to me was more than just selling my house, it was a complete transition of life. Faith was there for me every step of the way. From pulling up her sleeves and getting dirty in the home, cleaning and decluttering, to having cookies at the open house, to fighting hard for me on a difficult situation that came up during the process, to explaining every detail along the way. Faith is extremely knowledgeable in her craft and is SO very approachable with any desire, not only to her client but to the other agent and their client. She's fair, well spoken, practical and overall just a great human being. Thank you Faith for your hard work and perseverance. And mainly keeping me on track and believing in me!
This is the third and most challenging move having Faith as our agent. Again, she delivered excellent service as always, helping us sell our home and purchase a new home. She is compassionate and works tirelessly for our interests. She’s skilled in her communication with both her clients and other agents, title companies, inspectors appraisers, and anyone else in the process. I highly recommend working with her if you want somebody who is dedicated to making your dreams come true. Thanks again, Faith.
Faith has helped us purchase our first, second, and now third home, as well as sell two homes. She provides exceptional service, and her incredible dedication and enthusiasm are invaluable in successfully navigating the overwhelming home buying and selling processes. She will be your cheerleader, champion, and moral support through the nerve-wracking process of home buying and selling, and ensure you attend to the pertinent details. We can't imagine having a better realtor than Faith; she has served us and several of our family members, and we will continue to rely on her for our real estate needs into the future.
Our experience with Sy was exceptional! He is very professional, knowledgeable and efficient with excellent and timely communication skills. As a realtor he went above and beyond any of our expectations. We encountered a few challenges which he handled with calm ease, showing compassion and courtesy for all involved. We highly recommend Sy for your real estate needs.
