About Irena Kolbert

As a John L. Scott broker, my mission is transactional excellence and client satisfaction. That means I work tirelessly to make your home buying or selling process as efficient, stress-free and lucrative for you as possible.

I was born and raised in Bellingham WA, and absolutely love my hometown. I decided to become a broker to help those around me find housing in the beautiful PNW, meanwhile helping my client's with any questions they have about the area!

I am also a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), which is a designation held by only 3% of agents! 

I also worked as a property manager, which has allowed me to help my clients with rental questions/needs as well. If you have any questions about WA homes or rentals, you can count on me. 

Communication is also very important to me, so I will definitely get back to you as soon as I can! 

I look forward to building life-long relationships with you and helping you in anyway I can!

Representation   

I take pride in offering high-caliber full-service residential real estate expertise. My clients are my top priority, and I focus on delivering the best possible results for them.

Expertise

The real estate market is hyperlocal, seasonal and temperamental—in other words, it can change on a dime. Technology has made information more accessible to everyone, but it can be difficult to keep up with recent events that affect home values. The benefits of working with a licensed real estate professional go far beyond what a mobile app, online video, or website can do.

I provide my clients with information on market seasonality and information relevant to what is happening in their specific neighborhood. This customized analysis includes recent comparable sales that factor into an offer and acceptance strategy.

Negotiations

Successful negotiations help move a conversation forward and transform the process into an agreement that’s a win for all parties. Negotiation is not only a skill, but a mindset. I keep my clients’ best interests top of mind as I negotiate on their behalf. 

Transactional Excellence

I am dedicated to transactional excellence for every listing and sale. What this means for you is that I oversee every detail of the real estate transaction. The transaction is far from over once an offer has been accepted. I monitor inspections, appraisals, title, escrow and loan processes. Communication and collaboration with all the partners and parties involved with the transaction ensures a smooth and timely closing. I am committed to my clients before, during and after a sale.
