A Little Background.

My wife, Kelly, and I moved to Bellingham in 2021 to be near family, and for the same reasons many people do: mountains, water, fresh air, and an outdoors-first culture, with Vancouver and Seattle still within reach.

I immediately learned the challenging side of relocating to Bellingham: its neighborhood quirks, limited inventory, and fast, high-stakes home-buying decisions made with imperfect information.

A challenge that I loved solving.

In 2024, I left my role as an Enterprise Account Executive in SaaS to build a local, community-first business. The skills I developed in that role translate directly to real estate: clear communication, consistent follow-up, structured systems, and solutions-based negotiation.

We absolutely love living in Whatcom County. Our son, Callan, was born in a house on Broadway, and I’m thrilled he gets to call Bellingham home.

Welcome to Whatcom, as an app, is one way we help people get rooted in Bellingham. Not just to find a house, but to settle in.

Life in Whatcom.

5/5across 17 reviews
Moving our family to Whatcom county from out of state was one of the biggest decisions we’ve made, and having Austin in our corner changed everything. Our purchase was a little complicated with some very tight timelines, and Austin was an absolute rock. He advocated fiercely when negotiations got tough, kept us grounded, caught details we would have missed, and never once made us feel rushed or “sold to.” He’s deeply knowledgeable about the local market and incredibly well connected to a network of contractors, lenders, inspectors, etc. And even after closing, he’s continued to show up for us. That alone says everything. Clear communication. Zero ego. Steady presence. Real advocacy. We weren’t just buying a house, we were choosing where to build our life. Austin understood that, and he treated it that way. Couldn’t recommend him more.

Austin added so much value to our home buying process- it’s not easy to schedule and coordinate contractors (not to mention finding trustworthy ones). All of that extra effort and his skillful negotiation got us $40k off the list price plus additional seller credits to cover closing costs. Austin is easy to work with, knows a ton about the area, and most importantly got us into our first home by getting a great deal.

My husband and I were first time home buyers and Austin was stellar as our agent. He was so savvy in the way he negotiated the price of our home down to below asking price (by leveraging the inspection and contractor quotes). He was very organized and hands on. He coordinated contractors for second opinions and met them onsite. Austin was also very communicative and knowledgable of the Bellingham area. I 10/10 would recommend him to anyone and everyone I know.
