About Brandon

With nearly 20 years in Whatcom County real estate—and a decade of hands-on experience as a carpenter, contractor, and home inspector before that—I bring more to the table than just market knowledge. I bring an eye for detail, a builder’s mindset, and a deep understanding of what makes a home not just look good and function well—but truly work for you.

Since becoming a licensed Realtor in 2006, I’ve helped hundreds of clients navigate complex transitions with clarity, confidence, and care. Whether you're buying your first home, selling a family estate, managing a senior move, or building a long-term investment portfolio, I tailor every plan to your unique goals and timeline.

I’m certified as both a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) and a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist, and I’m one of very few agents in the region who specialize in helping families through sensitive, high-stakes sales—often involving generational homes, inherited properties, and major life transitions. My clients know they can call me for advice long after closing day. I’m not just here for the transaction—I’m here as a trusted resource for the long haul.

I’m also deeply rooted in the local community. I serve on the boards of the Bellingham Senior Activity Center and Whatcom County Support Officer, and I proudly volunteer for Meals on Wheels, supporting neighbors experiencing crisis, transition, or isolation.

Outside of real estate, you’ll find me with my wife Heather and our two teens—Hayden and Jazzy—living life to the fullest in the Pacific Northwest. From open-water swims and kayaking Bellingham Bay to trail running, hiking, and racing Ski to Sea, we embrace every bit of the outdoor adventure this region offers.

If you’re looking for more than just an agent—if you want a strategic partner, a seasoned guide, and someone who truly listens—I’d be honored to help. Reach out anytime, whether you're just getting started or ready to make your move.
