We were lucky enough to connect with Julian and his team through Zillow. Julian was very prompt in identifying the properties that we were/might be interested in and securing both virtual and in-person showings for us. Julian made us feel at ease when viewing properties but was also sure to inform us when quick action was necessary in the interest of securing a deal. Julians knowledge of the area and prior experience with local builders were invaluable in helping us to determine a good fit for our family.\n\nWhen it came time to put in an offer, Julian was quick to get started on the paperwork, despite it being a holiday and a Sunday afternoon. Julian invited us back to his office and personally drew up the contract, taking the time to explain the whole process top-to-bottom and answering all the questions we had. Julian (and his cute pup) made us feel very comfortable during what was a very important moment in our lives. My husband and I never felt hurried or rushed, and we really appreciated that. Thankfully, the sellers agreed to a mutual contract later that same evening, and Julian was quick to call Ben and I to congratulate us, even though he was having dinner with his own family at the time.\nThe very next business day, Julians executive assistant, Kailee, contacted us to break down the transaction timeline. Kailee was extremely responsive throughout the homebuying process, and her constant communications kept us on track and assured. Kailee helped to facilitate communication with all necessary parties, including the lender, title company, inspector, and home insurers. The home inspector that was recommended, Brad Oppedal, was very thorough and provided a detailed inspection report. We were unable to be physically present during the inspection, but Kailee was good enough to be present in our stead and video conferenced us in with the inspector. Kailee also did a virtual final walkthrough for us before closing to make sure everything looked in order.\n\nWhile the sale is now complete, Julian has encouraged us to reach out to him and his team if we ever need anything else. Julians services come with our highest recommendation and we are very grateful to Julian and Kailee for helping us purchase our very first home.", "owner_response": { "text": "KatieThanks for for such a thoughtful review and detailed description of your experience working with us!

We wanted a realtor who brought a team to the table, so we looked at realtors that advertised as one. Our thought was that it takes a village to do MOST things well nowadays; buying/selling a home is no different. We also looked at client reviews to gauge a realtors depth. We chose Julian because of his experience, local knowledge, strategy, client connection/experience, and perspective. And, he did not disappoint! His team was wonderful to work with (Kailee & Jerry), many times proving our village theory. Julian also brought local contractors and knowledge to the table when there was a question/need; he was able to get immediate feedback for us in all scenarios. He was responsive to our needs, provided insight where we had doubt, and incredibly pleasant to be around. You can tell he loves all aspects of what he does, which is important from a client perspective; I want someone who is invested in my homebuying as it is a very personal and expensive decision.

I arrived in Bellingham in the summer of 2010, thinking that it would be a short stop along a series of travels and new destinations, as I was an artist and a musician, often on tour. Instead, I fell in love with a city uniquely its own, making lifelong friends while exploring the surrounding wilderness and islands, and embracing the lifestyle Bellingham afforded me. I began putting down my roots.\n\nI started searching for a home in Bellingham about 6 years ago, which in a roundabout way led me to Julian Friedman of Julian & Company, who I reached out to after having heard glowing reviews around town. Seeing as I am not an investor, not a moneyed California transplant, and not the recipient of a trust fund or inheritance, I always figured buying my first home would be one of the most stressful and daunting things I'd ever do. Working with Julian & Company was the complete opposite: they made this process so streamlined, exciting, and enjoyable.\n\nIn my initial phone call, Julian and I discussed my house needs and house wants, which helped us set a budget, timeframe, and realistic expectations. Julian got to work immediately and was able to quickly narrow down the search to a handful of promising options. During this process, he was readily available to bounce questions and ideas back and forth, and patiently answered a myriad of questions about all things housing and financing. Within a month, we looked at three dream houses, and we made one offer on a beautiful craftsman in the Sunnyland neighborhood. Our first offer beat out dozens of other potential buyers, many of them offering tens of thousands of dollars above mine, and landed me in my first home. And the house appraised over what I got it for, and I still got to have an inspection in an increasingly competitive market while securing a historically low interest rate. I have no doubt all of this is because of Julian and his team's combination of intuition, experience, hard work, and care - and it happened so quickly and effortlessly, my only regret was that I didn't approach them sooner.\n\nAll of this is to say, thanks to Julian Friedman and his team, I now own my first home, and I am thankful for all the joys, large and small, that come with it: we've since made many amazing meals in the remodeled kitchen, played badminton in the backyard, enjoyed sunsets from the deck, and had game nights and movie marathons with friends. Last spring, I planted a garden with my dad, which provided fruits and vegetables all summer. I still see Julian around town, and he always checks in and asks me how I am and how my house is coming along. Last year, Julien delivered sugar cookies to my door, and this winter, he brought me a pie for the holidays. Julian & Company, thank you all so much, sincerely.

Summer Huntington has proven to be that most recent person for my wife and me. She came to us by referral, as we were initially trying to find a lot to have a site-built net-zero home built. We found that such lots are difficult at best to find around Bellingham, but the owner of that construction company referred us to Summer. The Real Estate business has a mix of companies, in terms of ethics, and we were lucky beyond measure to find Summer and her brokerage, Julian & Company! My wife and I had a very clear vision of what we wanted for our next home, intended to be our last move. Because of our age, we wanted a single story home, and in Whatcom County, that right away eliminates the vast majority of candidates. We also told Summer that while we were in a 1-year lease, it would revert to month-to-month, so we asked her for patience, and patience seems to be a natural state for her! After a number of viewings, she understood very well what we wanted, and her attitude of calm support was very much appreciated! She assured us that our future home was out there and searching for us! One day, it happened. She referred us to a listing, and while there was to be an open house on the following Sunday, we reserved a private showing on that Saturday. After we went through this house, my wife turned to Summer and said You have to get me this house! We met with her and Julian and put together a unique offer, very advantageous to the seller, and our offer prevailed over (I believe) six others! The fact that it was NOT the high offer illustrates how cleverly it was constructed, and while it was the first home for which we made an offer, we could not be happier with the result!
