Elevated, heart-centered real estate services in Bellingham and Whatcom County I walk people through exciting moves and transitions.

My priority is to help people make informed, smart decisions about the space that they want to live in, or the property they want to sell. I aim to minimize stress and maximize financial goals. Fifteen years of marketing and public relations experience gives me an unmatched set of skills in Whatcom County's real estate industry. I know how to polish, present, and market a home. Growing up in the Bellingham area, yet also spending time in three other cities, gives me a unique perspective. I truly love and understand the Pacific Northwest. I enjoy helping people find, buy and sell homes, and I especially love helping people seamlessly integrate into the community of Bellingham.

I LOVE how easy it is to sneak a little nature into an otherwise busy day here in Bellingham. Five minutes from my doorstep and suddenly I’m somewhere that feels a many many miles away. After a stressful day this 3 mile loop resets me, makes me feel connected and whole again. (In my next life I’ll become a paddler, what a beauuutiful sport.) 🤩

I PENDED it! Even though it’s beauté left me absolutely speechless.

Snuck in an after-work hike to Fragrance Lake yesterday with my daughter and Norma-dog. Golden light, mossy forests, mushrooms everywhere, and a perfectly still lake at the top.
October in Bellingham feels like a little gift, especially on days like this.✨🍂🍄‍🟫

10 years!🥹

This year marks a DECADE since I became a licensed real estate agent in Bellingham.

I’ve been thinking about what 10 years really means.

I moved back to Whatcom County (where I’m from) in 2014 after living in California, New York, and Seattle. I took a position with the WA State Dept of Ecology, but missed my old marketing jobs — the creativity, visuals, presentation. And with two little girls at home, I needed more flexibility.

When I got my real estate license, a favorite colleague (who loved to throw shade 😂) said, “Get ready to be broke... See you back here in a year.” Lol.

I never looked back.

Real estate was such a great fit, and the universe put the right people on my path. At Coldwell Banker, I learned from local legends Dean Ulrich, Anne Cantrell, Greg Flint, the late David Hutton. Forever grateful for my mentors.

In 2019, I helped open the Compass office in Bellingham with a small team. Scary at the time, but one of my best decisions.

And somewhere in the last year or two, I’ve felt like all these years in this business have finally synced up.

After 10 years selling real estate here, I don’t just know Bellingham’s neighborhoods. I know what it feels like to live in them. Which streets feel tucked away, where you get the best evening light. The schools, the little things you’d never discover on a weekend house-hunting trip.

Ten years has also given me deep relationships with other brokers and perspective from hundreds of inspections, negotiations, weird houses, wonderful houses, and every kind of market. I know when to push back, when to jump on something, and what to focus on in a negotiation.

There’s an intuition that only comes from years of doing this work.

I still love houses. A beautiful old window, a magical garden. But today, I think my superpower is the experience I’ve gained — helping people make big decisions with confidence, from finding the right neighborhood to navigating a tricky negotiation.

I feel incredibly lucky to do this work in a place I know and love so deeply. Bellingham has my ❤️!

October evenings like this. 🍂🌅

A sunset cruise around Bellingham Bay with good friends, a little crisp air, and one of those skies that just kept getting better.

Thanks to for getting us out on the water — pretty sure Bellingham looks even better from her boat. 🤍

Sometimes when we talk about how much we love living here, this is what we mean.

This one is a good one. 🤎

I’ve just listed one of those homes that has personality in all the right places — big windows, warm wood, mid-century details, a reeeally lovely updated kitchen, and rooms that feel bright and happy without trying too hard.

And then you step outside to a private, garden-y backyard, multiple places to sit and stay awhile, plus the sweetest detached studio tucked into the landscape. And all of it up on Puget Hill, with Bellingham and the mountains stretching out around you.

It’s charming and cool, and it has soul. And I think someone is going to fall pretty hard for it.

There are places that feel like a vacation. And the rare ones that also feel like home.✨🤍

The Geneva neighborhood in Bellingham gives lake days, towering trees, quiet streets, and a pace of life that feels a little more grounded.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live in this glorious part of the PNW, take a peek at my listing at 4727 Columbus Ave, and then DM me.

This Geneva neighborhood home provided a wonderful space for a craft cocktail class this week. That huge island 🙌😍. Thanks to all of these busy brokers who attended. And to local favorite Amy Gibson GOLDSTATUS BOTANICALS + Amy G for teaching us the proper way to prepare fancy drinks!

I walked into this kitchen and immediately thought, "Yep...this is where everyone hangs out."

The 11-foot island, the Thermador range, the pot filler…it actually reminded me of my mom, who designed kitchens here in Bellingham for years. She was always trying to sneak a pot filler into the plan. 😂

And the way this kitchen opens to the great room just makes it feel like the gathering place.

What I wasn't expecting, though, was how peaceful the setting felt. Eagles soaring overhead, foothill views, and just a peek of Lake Whatcom in the distance.

If you're curious to see more of this home, you'll find the full video and listing details in the link in my bio.

Excited to be sharing this one with my new teammate, Josh Crown 🏡
