It all started when Leo Cohen, formerly a lead inside sales agent for a large team, split off to start his own business. He joined forces with Christopher Lee, our efficient and detail-oriented Director of Operations, and the two have since developed and grown the Bham RE Co into the operation it is today.
As a team, we each have our specialties, but we share the same values: integrity, compassion, authenticity, and perseverance. We strive to create lasting relationships with our clients and business partners, and to be the kind of professionals you don’t hesitate to tell your friends about.
We love what we do and we love where we live. When you work with us, you work with a small business anchored right here in Bellingham. (If you’re shopping from afar, we’d love to show you the local hotspots and introduce you to some of our trusty friends who provide professional services and own some pretty cool small businesses right here in town.
On any given weekend you might spot a Bham RE Co team member in our logo jackets or beanies, sipping drinks at Overflow Taps in Barkley or Woods Coffee, on the trails at Galbraith Mountain or Lake Padden, golfing at one of the gorgeous courses in our county, or rolling up to a community event like Downtown Sounds.
Our areas of service have expanded from core Bellingham neighborhoods into all of western Whatcom and Skagit counties, especially into new construction projects in the Blaine area, as we work to help bring new housing options to our community.
After every transaction, our team donates a portion of our commissions to charity:water, an organization dedicated to bringing clean water systems to developing regions around the world. Our Clean Water Happy Hour provides safe drinking water globally while creating community locally. Leo also works with top leaders in the area to provide advice and wisdom to business owners across our community, through the Building Bellingham Podcast.
Our vision as a team is to empower members of our community - you - to build and live their best lives. We believe that the client experience is paramount, and that hiring a trusted, knowledgeable and authentic agent is key for having a five-star experience.
Bham RE Co invests heavily in social media and video content. Why? So you can get to know the real people beyond our headshots and bios. In our daily posts on Facebook and Instagram and more, you see glimpses into the people that you’ll meet when you work with us, along with consistent, bite-sized pieces of information and advice from our real estate experience.
The real estate process has many ups and downs, whether you are selling a home or buying one. It is important to choose an experienced real estate consultant that can educate you on the process and what to expect, provide the best possible resources, and most importantly provide stellar customer service from the first meeting to the last signature on your closing documents.
