Kurt and Brad are a great team. We had a great experience and a fantastic result! A BIG thank you to the whole team. I would recommend The Swanson Group knowing their level of success will continue to be strong!

Kurt was very knowledgeable and made sure I understood each step of the process, before we moved forward. Never rushed me to make decisions but gave me valuable information to help me be secure in all the decisions I did make. Was very helpful even with things he didnt have to be responsible for. Will definitely call on him again when Im ready to sell another house in our family.

Kurt and Brad were amazing to work with. They knew the areas so well, could share insight and advice as we toured properties and were incredibly helpful when we were putting in our offer, signing and closing. We were successful in buying our first home with them - in a really challenging market! The Swanson group are quick to communicate, clear and so friendly. We had a great experience with them and wouldnt look anywhere else for buying/selling help again in the future.

He is a very patient and and nice and professional person we had ever met. We are SO lucky and happy to have home to help us up. We are kind of picky with the house condition and location and he is just patiently and nicely screen those houses for us. If we had fund an house we may like, his quick arrangements and respond is SO impressive.

Brad was extremely kind, knowledgeable, helpful and always on the ball. He was so quick to respond to any communication and handled all our documents and signings super efficiently. So thankful for his help with our first home. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. He is my first choice should I ever sell/buy again. Thank you, Brad!

Brad is the best Real Estate Agent we have ever experienced! Great communication skills, terrific people skills, expert real estate knowledge & experience, plus a calm demeanor that helps to close the deal.All preparations were outstanding, he gives perfect advice for getting the home staged properly and then expertly markets with professional photos and all professional presentation.Brad sold our home in 3 days, for full price, its hard to get better.

Brad was very responsive and easy to work with. He showed us a number of lots and existing homes, and did research for us several times regarding available inventory and prices. Their approach was typically whatever you want and Brad and Kurt did not try to talk us out of any ideas no matter how far fetched they may have been. Ultimately, we found the right house for us and they helped get the deal down very quickly.

We received a mailer from Kurt Swanson, wondering if we might be looking to sell our rental property. I phoned him to correct some misinformation, and we got talking about our own upcoming move. I found him very approachable and knowledgeable. When we were ready to move to his area, we benefited from his professional experience and his skill in communicating with sellers, agents and builders. His suggestion of a new area to search found us our perfect home. We will not hesitate to recommend Kurt to our friends!

Kurt Swanson is amazing! We purchased our home in a very competitive market during peak time, and Kurt was always prepared and by our side! He is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly cares about his clients. We have purchased multiple homes over the years, due to relocation, and with each sell/purchase I have become very particular about the type of agent I want to work with. Kurt far exceeded all of my expectations! After we closed on our home and discovered the builder had not finished cleaning up as agreed - Kurt was there! He showed up BEFORE us with his personal vacuum cleaner to help. Kurt went above and beyond for us during every step of our home buying process. He is truly the BEST! Thank you Kurt!!! We love our home!

Stop Right Now! Look No Further. You Have Found Your New Realtor.Brad Howell did a masterful job managing not only the sale of our house, but the entire process of getting it fixed up to sell. When we found the last renter we had left our cute rental house in very poor condition, Brad led the charge to get it brought back to cute. The house never made it to listing! Sold! He knows the market, he knows the area, he knows people, he knows how to get the right house in front of the right people... He knows.

Brad was helpful, courteous, understanding, and flexible throughout the entire long process of finding and purchasing our first house. He answered questions promptly, throughout the day at any time. He also connected us with incredibly helpful people - our lender, painter, carpenter, cleaner, were all recommended to us by Brad. We found that anyone suggested by Brad was guaranteed to provide high quality and honest service for a good price. I am happy to give him my strongest possible endorsement and recommend him highly to anyone looking to purchase a house in Bellingham!

Have know Kurt since we shared office space when he first started in Real Estate back in the previous century! Has done a great job helping me find houses (2 this Spring) and shepherding them to closing. Also has been great as a listing agent prepping property and getting in qualified Buyers quickly. In addition he is a really nice guy!

Brad was very personable :)He found the house we bought and told us about it before it went on the market and we were able to be the first people to see the house.We made an offer of full price the next day and the seller accepted.Also, Brad was helpful with negotiating; we got money back that I wouldn’t have asked for and it came off closing which was very efficient with everyone’s time.We can’t recommend him enough!!!

Kurt is very personable and friendly and has been in the Whatcom County area buying and selling homes for many year! We had multiple issues come up with the property we purchased through Kurt but he helped us through them all and was great at negotiating the price down due to some things wed have to fix. Our most recent purchase was an investment single family home to rent. Kurt has some rentals of his own and was able to provide invaluable insight to the local neighborhood in regards to being a landlord. We look forward to using Kurt again in the months and years to come!

Kurt Swanson, and his partner Brad Howell were great. They both were always available when I had questions or concerns. I spent a couple days doing a home search and enjoyed how knowledgeable they were about the area. I would recommend both realtors.

If it were not for Brad, we wouldnt have found the lovely home we just purchased. He listened carefully to our wish list and directed us to an area we wouldnt have normally considered. It turned out to be a perfect match. Brad handled every aspect of our home purchase with thoughtful attention to detail and he was incredibly quick to respond to our questions and needs. He is kind, professional and efficient -- and he knows Western Washington! His office and team agents (Kurt Swanson and Morgan Takemura) were also very helpful. Our purchase was smooth and non-stressful, thanks to Brad and the Swanson Group in Bellingham.

Saying that Kurt and his team did a great job is an understatement. We would not have our first fixer upper home if it was not for Kurt’s willingness to go above and beyond to work through an awkward and difficult process with the seller. If it was not for Kurt we would not have even had a chance. This was our first home buying experience. We were so glad that Kurt was our agent. I think that most agents would have made it clear that this isn’t working and stopped the roller coaster ride. We couldn’t overstate how grateful we are.Kurt has been the real estate agent for my husbands family for decades and after this experience he’s going to be our first choice going forward.Kurt is professional and tactful, but constantly made sure that we were part of each decision and would ask what we wanted to do in each scenario. He was very quick to communicate. We were on the edge of our seats so much of the time, but he kept us informed. We were pretty clueless first time homebuyers, I think you have to go through it to have any idea what you’re doing. He was so helpful with any questions we had or explaining things that confused us. He is incredibly knowledgable, his years of experience are obvious.Thank you Kurt and thank you to your team. We can wake up each day with our little fixer upper house knowing that it’s because of you.

It was a great experience working with Brad and Kurt. Humor and professionalism were remarkable. These guys are the BEST!!

Customer service was outstanding combined with pleasant personalities and efficient response to questions and concerns.

Brad Howell is well informed in the process of buying and selling a home we used his expertise in both transactions and are very grateful for his quick response to any question or concerns we had. Thank you Brad for seeing us through finding a new place and selling our home of 30 years, you’re the bes!
