71 Jim is an exceptional person and realtor. In the three real estate transactions I made with Jim (buy, sell, sell), he was the personification of attentive, caring and dedicated. Jim helped me buy my first house, making an extremely daunting and scary process feel manageable, comfortable and...
JIM ARNAL BROKER ABR E-PROI was just getting ready to give a good friend a referral to Joostens roofing and was curious what the Angie's list reviews looked like. I was surprised to see their B rating because in my experience they deserve an A rating. They are responsive and professional and the price was...
The first time everything would be rated an "A". HOWEVER, they where called back for a continuation of the same problem. This was 1/4 of the work and time of the first job and they charged me the same amount. I have tried to talk to them over and over and am being ignored. I really feel the...

From the moment I contacted him, I knew Rick was the agent for me. Even before he had a contract with me, he was willing to offer advice. Rick did a great job of keeping me updated on the status of my home's sale ~ this was especially appreciated as I moved to the west coast two months after...
The mobile home purchase went quickly and seamlessly once I was satisfied that the home and community were a good fit. I have no regrets. In March of 2015 Lori Jo listed my condo locally and on u-tube. The pictures revealed the excellent lighting, storage space, new appliances, and spacious...
Lori Jo Smith Coldwell Banker BainCommunication was great. Tenants commented that they could feel a real difference . Kyle (the supervisor I dealt with) talked frankly about projects really worth doing and those with less than stellar payback. No push just professionalism with a nice percentage of friendly.
Neither me or my real estate agent will ever recommend Favinger Plumbing to anyone in Whatcom County. They receive an F from me on all criteria. The only redeeming factor is their office staff's amazing customer service and willngness to be helpful. It's just enough to pull you in and make...

"We were incredibly lucky to find Paul when we began searching for our first home. He met with us right away after we contacted him and for a cold call to a realtor we couldn't have done better. His knowledge of Whatcom county is impressive and seems to extend to Skagit as well. Paul is energetic, friendly, hard-working and intuitive. He guided us through each stage of our purchase with confidence and consideration. He just seemed to be on the same page as us from the get-go. He found us a beautiful home between Bellingham and Ferndale that fit our budget and exceeded our expectations in a very competitive market. He negotiates brilliantly and found us excellent contractors for the few improvements that we wanted to tackle right away. Furthermore he accomplished this in about a month. Paul is a pleasure to work with. He has been in communication since we closed and insists that he's in our corner well beyond the signing date. As he puts it "realtor for life." Put this guy to work for you. You won't be disappointed! Mick & Sophie"

Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.
Real estate agents work on commission, so the cost of hiring an agent will depend on the cost of the home you’re buying or selling. The listing contract should include information about the commission for both agents, which is usually 6 percent of the sale price in total or 3 percent per side. With an average national home value of around $440,000, the typical commission per agent is $13,200. However, you won’t pay this total out of pocket. Instead, the commission comes out of the sale price of the property.
Interviewing real estate agents is the best way to find the right person for the job. Consider asking the following questions to find the best agent for you:
How will you show my property?
Will you do open houses to market my home?
How will you handle dual agency (representing the buyer and you as the seller)?
Should I make repairs to my home before listing?
Will you get professional photos taken of my home?
What is the best price you think we can get for my property?
How long do you expect the sale to take?
You don’t legally need a real estate agent as a buyer, as you can represent yourself, but you should always hire an agent as a home buyer. A professional real estate agent will have access to local MLS services to find homes that meet your criteria and needs, can connect you with other professionals—like a mortgage broker and real estate attorney—you’ll need for the purchase, and can often negotiate a better price for your home to help save you money. Plus, as the buyer, your agent’s commission comes from the seller’s proceeds from the sale of the home.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
