Michelle Harrington

ZillowVERIFIED

Recently, Michelle Harrington helped us sell and buy a home AGAIN! It all started back in 2006 when my wife and I looked at relocating our family from California to Washington. We contacted a local agent about a specific home, who happened to be Michelle. She offered to show us around and help us find a homeIf we were to fly up to visit Whatcom County. Mechelle asked what we were looking for and got right to work. Upon our visit, Michelle was ready with multiple homes to visit. She even drove us around to multiple sites throughout the county. After two days of looking, we found one that was everything we were looking for in a home. The buying process went well and it was easy to work with Michelle from out of state. Then, in 2008-2009, the aEURoehousing crisisaEUR? hit. We were deeply affected by the interest rates and banking fiasco. We figured we would lose our home and not be able to buy another home for years to come. We called Michelle to see what could be done. She walked us through what needed to be done. Our mortgage was taken over by another bank, who was willing to work with us in selling our home. In such a trying time, Michelle was there to help us sell our home and keep us from foreclosing. For the next 2 years, we rented until our credit would allow us to purchase another home. After two years, we were ready to buy another home and stop throwing money at a rental. We contacted Michelle and once again, she helped us go through the process of looking for and buying a home. There were so many agents in Whatcom County to choose from and we never thought about working with anyone other than Michelle. She knew our experiences and she knew what we liked when it came to buying a home. In 2022, after almost a decade of living in our second Washington home, we felt it was time to move into town. We were living out in the county and wanted to live within the Bellingham city limit to be closer to shopping, restaurants, entertainment, etc. Once again, we called Michelle. She came out to our house to meet with us and see what our needs were. After a discussion, Michelle immediately got to work for us. Michelle sold our house in a very tough market. It was late summer when we were ready to put our house on the market. By then, the market had shifted due to rising interest rates. Michelle was able to sell our house for our asking price. We never had to lower the price. Upon accepting an offer on our house, Michelle shifted from our selling agent to our buying agent. Within no time, we found a home that suited us and placed an offer lower than the sellers asking price. It was accepted and we were pending on a sale and purchase with a closing date close in time. Michelle did it again! Buying and selling a home is a stressful time. Working with Michelle Harrington for our real estate needs took some of the stress away. Looking at some of the clients that Michelle represented, we knew she had some that were in the aEURoehigher priceaEUR? market. Although we knew she represented these clients by looking at her listings, we never knew it by the way she treated us. She always told us that whe works for us and represents our interest. Michelle always returned phone calls, texts, and emails in a timely manner. She uses all the latest techniques to help promote the sale of a home including professionally taken photos. She makes staging recommendations and provides tools on how to prepare a home for sale. If Michelle is having a bad day, youll never know it by the way she treats youaEUR|like a true friend.

We just closed on the sale of our home in Bellingham and only 2 weeks after it went on the market! Michelle was awesome to work with from start to finish. She guided us through the process and helped us make informed decisions on key repairs and touch-ups (which to do and, equally important, which not to do). She put us in touch with awesome contractors and inspectors to quickly get the house where we needed it for sale. She did a wonderful job getting photos and videos made that gave our home the look and feel it deserved. And she positioned the home to receive multiple offers that allowed us to get top dollar in rapid fashion. I am blown away but what Michelle has done for us. And she is such a super nice person to boot! I highly recommend Michelle for your home sales or purchases.

We were referred to Michelle Harrington by our agent in Richland, WA and we were so happy with our experience working with her! From our very first interaction, Michelle was super responsive and obviously very experienced. We had been looking for homes on Zillow for quite a while, so when we reached out it was because we were actually ready to go see a couple of homes. Michelle was very quick to help us go view those homes, and gave great insight to each of the homes we looked at (pros and cons, issues that she saw, potential issues with locations or HOAs, etc.). When we were ready to make an offer, she gave good insight to making a strong offer on our first choice home. She always worked with a sense of urgency, with our best interests in mind. She kept us up to date during the whole process and was always available for questions and reassurance! She has even checked in with us several times since we closed and moved into our new home to make sure we are happy and settled in. Michelle is fantastic and we highly recommend working with her!

Michelle Harrington helped us find our new home. What we wanted was someone to make it all EASY. And that's what Michelle did. During our search, we changed course on what was most important to us -- and Michelle hung with us at every turn. She found us our home before it even went to market -- so we got an extraordinarily great deal. Our home was valued higher than the sales price at appraisal. She made sure every question was answered before we made an offer. We live three states away but she kept us in the loop every step of escrow. And even after closing, she met with utilities providers to set up the home when we were too remote to do so. Cannot say enough good things about Michelle. A quality human who wants you to find a great home for your family.

Michelle was terrific in assisting us in selling my father's home. She managed the process locally while we were across the country and we can't thank her enough. She knew the area well, gave us great advice, and helped us manage local contractors who were needed to help prepare the home. She loves the Bellingham community and wants both buyers and sellers to find the right match. We're grateful to her for a very successful sale.

We highly recommend Michelle Harrington if you are looking to buy or sale your home. Michelle worked with us through the entire process. We were living in our house when we got it ready to sell but moved out of state before the house was put on the market. Michelle guided us every step of the way, helping out in any way possible while we moved across the country. She took a lot of stress off our shoulders and stayed in constant contact with us while we were on the road, finalizing all the steps on getting the house on the market for us. Michelle went above and beyond what we expected. And the house sold in record time!! We could not have done this without Michelle expertise, advise, guidance and humor. Please feel free to reach out to Michelle for our contact info if you have any additional questions. Dennis and Rosie Rayborn

Michelle was the consummate broker. Her knowledge of the process was expertly communicated in every conversation and interaction. Michelle made the buying and selling process easy for me to understand and worked quickly to resolve any issues. Her networking with the bank and title company ensured my purchase and sale was expertly handled and completed ahead of schedule. Her easy going and sunny disposition made her an absolute pleasure to work with. I will be recommending Michelle Harrington to everyone I know.

agoNEW We recently listed the highest priced condo in Bellingham and Michelle jumped on board without hesitation. She did not have much time as we moved up the listing date by 3 weeks but you would never know it. Michelle had the best of the best marketing team out within days photographing our home and putting together a gorgeous marketing presentation. Our plan was to be on the market 7-10 days but I changed that last minute and Michelle rose to the occasion again with the most professional attitude. We agreed, no open houses and only pre approved buyers and within 4-5 days we had multiple offers and sold over asking. She was available to us 24/7 and is a wonderful communicator. In addition to selling our condo she also was instrumental in purchasing some land where we will be building. There is no doubt we will use Michelle for future purchases.

We were absolutely pleased with Michelle as our Realtor. She put in a monumental effort from start to finish. Showings went smoothly and Michelle attended everyone and provided valuable feedback. Negotiations also went smoothly and so did the closing. Michelle always had a positive outlook and was wonderful to work with. Michelle Harrington is a Realtor whose actions speak volumes.
