Sean was recommended to my husband and I last summer when we first started looking for a house in Bellingham. We thought our wonderful house in Santa Cruz would sell in a week, and we eagerly looked at high-end houses in Bellingham in anticipation of the sale. Sean happily acquainted us with the many virtues of Bellingham and its houses.
However, the weeks turned into months and our house still didn't sell. We came back several times to Bellingham: each time we were more cautious as we adjusted the price range of houses we could afford. Sean didn't miss a beat. He never made us feel uncomfortable about the lower price range. He gave us good advice about reading the market, timing an offer, and making sure we'd get a good value in a tightening market.
In January, with an offer on our Santa Cruz house finally in hand, only 3 houses remaining on the Bellingham market met our criteria. Sean's help was invaluable: he helped us to clarify which house was our best bet, advised us on getting a good price, and helped us navigate the inspection process to determine that the house was in fact a good value for us. We closed yesterday! Very excited be moving in on Monday!
