Complicated contingent transaction

Becky was terrific to work with. She helped us both sell our home and purchase another. Her insights and advice helped guide us to the right buyer and get us in to a home that's a perfect fit for us. It was a complicated contingent transaction that required a lot of attention and communication and Becky always made herself available to assure the deals closed. We highly recommend enlisting Becky for your next home sale or purchase!

Just what we wanted

Becky helped us find and buy a home in Bellingham. She wonderfully worked with us by email notices and communications to help us become familiar with the community and housing market in Bellingham in the time prior to our planned move date. Her expertise shined when she brought a house to us by virtual tours in the few days prior to our actual move. The house turned out to be just what we wanted, and Becky facilitated a speedy offer that led to acceptance of our offer and to final closing. We would strongly recommend Becky to potential clients with confidence and pleasure.

Years of Planning

It is my pleasure and privilege to offer a glowing recommendation for Becky Brunk of Coldwell Banker Bain for her unwavering assistance over the years and for the quick sale of my mom’s house to help fund end of life care. As a homeowner who has only bought, but never sold a home, I found the prospect of selling my parents’ custom built home, a home I had never lived in, a daunting and overwhelming responsibility. My dad, who was my mom’s primary care giver, had died years previously and my mom was suffering from myriad medical problems that required 24/7 assistance and memory care.

Becky and I had worked together for years planning for this day, and along the way became good friends and co-conspirators supporting non-profit organization, through Coldwell Banker Bain’s Community Partnership. When selling the house became a financial necessity Becky stepped in and walked me through every step of the way. Her consultations with other professionals in the field and her expertise in understanding the market helped set a reasonable price point on this unique “one off” house—one that would attract the optimal buyer.

Her guidance in staging this single owner residence and assisting me in clearing out a lifetime of parental collections was invaluable—leaving just enough to offer prospective buyers an open option that showcased the unique properties and value of the home itself.

But just as important as her professional expertise, Becky has always been a forthright and good person who takes the interests, concerns, and fears (mine) of both buyers and sellers to heart and walks this unknown territory with compassion, kindness, and care. Ultimately, we found the optimal buyer who paid over asking within a week of listing. For that I am extremely grateful. Thank you Becky for all your diligence, understanding, and hard work.

Fun to brainstorm with!

Becky was a pleasure to work with. She was calm and patient, non-pressuring yet always amazingly efficient with the next step when needed. She understands the intuitive aspect of the home-buying process, that it's important to see a number of places before making decisions. Becky has great competence with all the paperwork, and is fun to brainstorm with about a home's potential. I recommend her with highest enthusiasm.

Becky is a great partner!

I was living out of town and Becky helped me understand neighborhoods, was able to pre-check homes for me, and made the purchase as easy as possible. It took me many months to find the right home and Becky was there every step recommending options and giving wise counsel. I grateful that Becky was recommended to me as I can't imagine there is a more qualified and patient professional to work with in this market.

Masterful staging & marketing

Our family just completed our third sell and second purchase with Becky's guidance! This move was much desired but overwhelming for me as it developed quickly and had a few complicating life factors. Calmly and clearly, Becky walked me through every step, and in less than 5 weeks, the buying-selling process was complete. Becky staged my home beautifully and marketed the listing masterfully both online and through her extensive network of colleagues and peers. Big picture or fine details, Becky's on top of it all, and I'm in the home of my dreams!

Speed, professionalism & knowledge

Becky was outstanding to work with on our recent purchase in La Conner, we are Very Happy...5 Stars++. The speed, professionalism and knowledge the local area lead to a seem-less, turnkey transaction which closed on time in less than 3 weeks, start to finish:). Becky also has first hand experience with remodeling, so with her help were able to visualize how we will improve the home over the next years.
Thank you Becky! J. Zack

Personable, calm and direct

Becky was great to work with for the initial purchase and the sale of our property. Her disposition is personable, calm and direct. She was responsive and timely in interactions by email, text or phone. She followed through with every thing that we discussed and took time to answer our questions. She went above and beyond our expectations as the sale was wrapping up handling a few things on our behalf. I would recommend Becky to anyone who has high expectations with regards to service and work ethic.

Beautiful job staging

I highly recommend working with Becky. Becky helped me find a great condo in Bellingham a few years ago. She also recently helped me sell this condo for a great price. She did a beautiful job staging and also went out of her way to assist me in clearing things out. Becky is great to work with!

Knowledge of the area

We have bought several homes in different states .
Becky has been by far the best and (is an) amazing relocation realtor . My husband and I bought the home virtual. Becky went the extra mile ensuring
we were comfortable with the purchase. We can not thank her enough for her knowledge of the area giving us contact information to make our transition go smoothly.

Genuinely fun to be around

I can't speak highly enough of Becky. It was our first time buying a home, and she guided us through with patience and expertise in a really challenging market. We looked at a ton of houses before we ever put in an offer, and she never pushed us or got annoyed with us. She just kept being super helpful. On top of being an excellent realtor, she's genuinely fun to be around. In this market, you're going to be around your realtor a lot, so having someone as easy to be around as Becky makes the process a million times better. I would hire Becky again in a heartbeat.

Always replied quickly

Becky has been a fantastic realtor. She listed my home for me and was very courteous, understanding, and professional throughout all the hoops and hurdles. She was attentive to questions and always replied quickly with informative and helpful advice. If I move again, I'II be sure to reach out to her first thing. I'd highly recommend coming to her for your listing needs. She's been really great to work with!

Made the process more enjoyable

Buying a house as we all know is extremely stressful. Buying one 900 miles away just about did me in. Becky's professionalism, her calming way and her perseverance made the process more enjoyable. I can't speak highly enough of Becky.

Extremely responsive & very approachable

Becky was a real gift and I would not hesitate to recommend her .She was professional, patient and listened intently . We were remote buyers but she was always extremely responsive and timely to a tee. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about the real estate market and yet relaxed and very approachable . All in all she made it a really good experience and we felt we were so fortunate to find her.

Superb job of staging

Becky has made our experience as completely stress-free as possible with an expertise that gave us confidence and assurance throughout the process. Our being long-distance sellers was somewhat complicated, but Becky assisted us in every possible way to make it convenient for us. We had met Becky @ 6 years ago and kept in touch through her notices/news-letters and neighborhood reports. It was never over-bearing or insistent, just informative, and that is one quality we appreciated very much. We weren't prepared to sell for quite some time, and even two years ago when we had thought to sell, we backed out without any pressure or negative response from Becky for our reversal. Finally this year was the year to sell and Becky did a superb job of staging and keeping us apprised of the showings/evaluations, etc. All in all we highly recommend Becky to any and all interested in having 'the best'.
Thanks again, Becky.

Went absolutely above and beyond... also, our four year old loves her!

Becky was everything we hoped for in a realtor. As first time homebuyers in an incredibly difficult market, we would not have stood a chance without her expertise and dedication. She went absolutely above and beyond in touring properties with us, helping us craft the best offer we could, connecting with the sellers agents and following up. Also, our four year old loves her! Through the whole process we felt like we were in the best hands!

Always responds promptly

Becky was very helpful to me as a buyer from outside of the area. She advised and previewed properties so that we could efficiently visit many options on the date I was available. Becky always responds promptly and was able to answer all of my questions. I would definitely work with Becky on any future transactions in the Bellingham area.
