What clients say about this agent....
Brandon Nelson is a valuable gem in Whatcom County real estate. In our recent sale, we were very impressed with the care, wisdom, and respect he displayed at every stage in working with us. We sought Brandons guidance on many aspects of the process and always felt it was solid, honest, and the right path. He generously listened and took to heart the story of our home, getting to know it inside and out. With his deep experience in real estate and inspections, he gave us excellent advice on fixes, upgrades, design improvements, and light remodeling that helped us sell at a premium price. This included sheetrock repair, painting, new carpet in one room, professional window washing, and deep cleaning. He used his connections to find us qualified people to do the work much quicker than if we had attempted to schedule it ourselves. He then arranged premium staging and photography that definitely helped get the "Wow!" impressions we got from potential buyers. His honesty and respect for all parties during negotiations was notably commendable. We are also deeply grateful for the extensive effort Brandon put into organizing open houses and ensuring our home was well-cared-for while we were away, providing us immense peace of mind. Having spent 17 cherished years in that home, with so many family milestones, parting was bittersweet. However, with Brandon's help, we take comfort in knowing that a new family will create their own beautiful memories there. For anyone in need of top-tier real estate services, we wholeheartedly recommend Brandon Nelson.
We consider our experience with Chara, Chelsea, and the BNP family nothing short of divine in all aspects! Shortly after discovering Bellingham, we booked our first weekend trip here to see some homes with Chara and Chelsea, and they helped us fall in love with the area immediately. They squeezed in as many home viewings as we wanted, and they provided a full list of places/things to see and do in Bellingham. Chara and Chelsea were very knowledgeable about the different neighborhoods within Bellingham, and were able to quickly get a feel for aspects we were looking for in a home and surrounding community. We found the right home on our second visit to Bellingham, and Chara and Chelsea had that one packed full of possibilities as well. We appreciated their honest and insightful opinions about everything from quality of construction and building materials to pricing an offer right in Bellingham's fast-paced market. Given we were out of state for most events throughout the escrow process, Chara and Chelsea and even Brandon helped us tremendously in scheduling and representing us in inspections/appraisals. Chara, Chelsea, and all BNP staff communicated frequently with us throughout the process, and we felt well-informed throughout. Their support for their clients continues well after the sale, and we have reached out to Chara and Chelsea on several occasions for various recommendations on contacts for landscaping and repairs. We loved working with and getting to know Chara, Chelsea, and the BNP family, and we're certain you will too.
Alana provided highly professional and friendly support throughout our home search. We appreciated her prompt communication responses and especially her help as we prepared our (successful) offer on the property that had multiple, competitive interests. We have worked with a number of real estate professionals over the years and our work with Alana was the most positive and supportive we have experienced.
We honestly could not have asked for a better realtor. Alana was incredibly knowledgeable and responsive, and was always ready to support and represent our needs in our housing search. Additionally, Alana has a calm demeanor that repeatedly put me at ease during the more stressful parts of our search. My husband and I are now in the home of our dreams, and we couldn't have done it without Alana.
Alana was indeed very responsive and extremely helpful in negotiating our home purchase. She was essential in helping us arrange some minor repairs prior to move-in, and she has been very kind to continue to respond after our purchase when we have asked about local resources for home projects. We also love her Good to Be Home publication!
We've had a number of real estate transactions over the years in different states, and Alana is the best realtor we've ever worked with. She represented us recently in two transactions, buying and selling. Her hard and soft skills are unmatched. She was tireless on our behalf and knowledgeable in every respect from start to finish, including some difficult, unexpected developments. Her communication was constant and reliable, often anticipating our needs. We valued her ability to be consummately professional and yet still genuine and human.
Alana worked with us for over three years to find our perfect home and then sold our existing home for us as well. She was patient and thorough and always available when we needed her. She is professional, knowledgeable, and a joy to work with. She checks all the obvious boxes, but I think her secret weapon is her negotiation skills.
Alana provided fantastic support helping us navigate a very challenging market. As out of town buyers faced with limited and fast-moving inventory, she went above and beyond, previewing/videoing potential properties at a moments notice and sharing her insights. She was always a step ahead, ensuring we had all the information needed to bid wisely and competitively. Thanks to her efforts, we found and closed on our dream lake home and couldnt be happier. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced real estate professional who listens and works with your best interest as her priority.
Alana Mey and her team at Brandon Nelson Partners have been truly amazing throughout the entire home selling experience, from contacting with professional photographers (including stunning drone shots) to helping make the listing look and feel competitive in the market. Her detailed, fact-based approach to determining a fair listing price was key in attracting many potential buyers. Our questions were addressed immediately, and we always knew we could reach her at a moments notice. We are so grateful to have found such an exceptional and experienced professional to devote the time, attention and knowledge to achieve a perfect outcome. Sold!
Working with Alana Mey was a pleasure from start to finish. Selling our first home seemed daunting, but with Alana's knowledge and professionalism, the process couldn't have gone smoother. We were so impressed each step of the way, from preparing our home for sale, to reviewing/negotiating offers. I was especially blown away with the care and knowledge she demonstrated getting our house ready for sale. She knew exactly what to do and who to call and I'm absolutely convinced this extra care is what led to such a quick sale and multiple offers above our asking price. I'm always excited to pass her name to our friends and acquaintances looking for a realtor and can't sing her praises enough!
