"I have bought and sold many homes and properfies, so I know a good realtor. Ian was excellent. He was easy to get in touch with and did all the footwork needed to ensure that the purchase and closing went smoothly. Any questions I had were thoroughly researched by Ian and communicated in a timely manner. You will not be disappointed with Ian and his expertise and knowledge. On a side note, he is personable and easy to talk with."

"Working with Ian was a dream. I wasn't located in Whatcom County when making the purchase, and was nervous about looking for a place from afar. This was never an issue - Ian always made the time to address questions I had, and talk through different scenarios and options to help me feel confident about my decisions. I was really thankful to have Ian on my side. He recommended different strategies to improve my offer, and helped me close below asking price, within 3 weeks of beginning my home buying journey. His knowledge of the local real estate market, construction background and extensive connections within Whatcom County are huge assets - you'd be hard pressed to find someone more in tune with the community than Ian. Ian is everything you want in a realtor - I can't recommend working with him enough!"

"You hear stories of people who’ve put in 10+ offers without winning a house –– that won’t happen with Ian. He has a strong sense of both what you need to put in a competitive offer AND, drawing from his own experience, the costs associated with upgrades. As the client, this all helps you make the best possible decision for your future. With Ian, once you put in an offer, he’ll do everything within his power –– from networking, to being available 24/7, to getting clarity around the seller’s priorities –– to make sure you win. Ian’s also a genuine pleasure to spend time with. That’s a huge asset, because he’s also generous with it to go above and beyond for his clients. Last, as a Bellingham native, he is quite knowledgeable about what different neighborhoods have to offer. You can’t go wrong with Ian!"

"Best Realtor I’ve ever used. Put in Maximum effort, even went above and beyond To ensure the home would pass appraisal and close on time. Set up multiple appointments for inspections and took a load off my plate. He was also very supportive and not pushy. He let us know options for backing out if we had a change of heart, and checked in often. 10/10 will use Ian again if we need to!"

"Ian consistently impressed us with his forethought, research and preparedness. We never felt pressured. His priority was that we had all the information we needed and all our questions answered in order to make an informed decision for our family. He was proactive and thorough when we had questions- sharing both his own experience and expertise as well as reaching out to local resources for additional information. He also shared in the excitement of finding a home for our family that we would love! We felt confident and informed through every step in the home-buying process and would recommend him without reservation."

"Ian was recommended to us as one of the up-and-coming agents by another experienced realtor at John L Scott. We are so grateful we chose him to help us in buying our new home. With his background in carpentry, his thorough knowledge of Whatcom and Skagit counties, and his understanding of the current housing market, he was able to guide us to make a very informed decision. We truly found our dream house in our dream neighborhood, and we are just so grateful— more than words can express. We came to him as clients but we now consider him a dear friend. Thank you for all your help, Ian! It was a pleasure to work with you."
