Homes, landand buildingsin Bellingham.

Four of us, working out of an office on 12th Street in Fairhaven. We sell houses, raw land and commercial property around Bellingham, and we represent the homesites at Governors Point.

Derek, Erika, Anne and Wilhelmina. Three of us grew up here, and Derek co-founded the Compass office in Bellingham. Most of what we get called about is the hard stuff: luxury real estate, vacant land, new construction, and people moving here from somewhere else.
