Julian Friedman

Julian and his team went above and beyond for my wife and I as first-time home buyers. He was patient and understanding as we searched for the perfect home for over five years! Julian was incredibly knowledgeable about the local neighborhoods, parcel classifications, taxes, home appliances, construction quality, and all of the rules and regulations. He was also very helpful in helping us navigate the move to the area from California, and even offered to help us with things like accepting deliveries and checking in on the house after we closed to when we moved in. In addition to his team's exceptional knowledge of the local real estate market, Julian provided us with excellent communication via text, email, and phone calls every step of the way. He was always responsive to our questions and concerns and always seemed to be going the extra mile. When we visited Bellingham, he spent an entire afternoon with my wife and me, driving us around the city, getting lunch, and just giving us the in-depth details. He was incredibly generous with his time! We were VERY picky, and I am sure very annoying at times, lol, but Julian was always so helpful. Julian did an excellent job at negotiating on our behalf, helping us to get the best possible deal on our dream home. We closed at 16% below asking, and helped us avoid negotiation pitfalls. He also helped us line up a loan, insurance, an inspection guy, and more. SOOOO helpful. I thought a realtors job was more basic, but man, I was totally wrong. I would highly recommend Julian and his team to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bellingham area. They love their careers, and it shows. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and we couldn't be happier with the results. They are experts in their field and made sure that we were not just satisfied but thrilled with our home purchase experience. We also feel like we found a great friend... which is rare :) - Matt G

Just bought our first home with Julian's help! Julian displayed genuine empathy and understanding from the start. He actively listened to our concerns, anxieties, and desires, ensuring that we felt heard and validated. His support made a world of difference in navigating the emotional ups and downs of buying a home. Beyond his emotional support, Julian demonstrated extensive knowledge of the local real estate market. His insights and expert advice proved invaluable in making informed decisions and successfully navigating the complexities of the buying process. Highly recommended! - Josh

Julian is both a very personable and professional young man. I expect he has a bright future in his real estate career. He was so patient and supportive of me in a nearly 3-year house search. His associate Kailee was very responsive and supportive as well. - Terry Schwartz

Julian was wonderful to work with, highly knowledgeable about the Belingham area, and advocated professionally for us! I have recommend him to our friends who have also had a positive experience and were very impressed as well! - Jillian Davis

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and have lived in Washington State for over 30 years. I arrived in Bellingham in the summer of 2010, thinking that it would be a short stop along a series of travels and new destinations, as I was an artist and a musician, often on tour. Instead, I fell in love with a city uniquely its own, making lifelong friends while exploring the surrounding wilderness and islands, and embracing the lifestyle Bellingham afforded me. I began putting down my roots. I started searching for a home in Bellingham about 6 years ago, which in a roundabout way led me to Julian Friedman of Julian & Company, who I reached out to after having heard glowing reviews around town. Seeing as I am not an investor, not a moneyed California transplant, and not the recipient of a trust fund or inheritance, I always figured buying my first home would be one of the most stressful and daunting things I'd ever do. Working with Julian & Company was the complete opposite: they made this process so streamlined, exciting, and enjoyable. In my initial phone call, Julian and I discussed my house needs and house wants, which helped us set a budget, timeframe, and realistic expectations. Julian got to work immediately and was able to quickly narrow down the search to a handful of promising options. During this process, he was readily available to bounce questions and ideas back and forth, and patiently answered a myriad of questions about all things housing and financing. Within a month, we looked at three dream houses, and we made one offer on a beautiful craftsman in the Sunnyland neighborhood. Our first offer beat out dozens of other potential buyers, many of them offering tens of thousands of dollars above mine, and landed me in my first home. And the house appraised over what I got it for, and I still got to have an inspection in an increasingly competitive market while securing a historically low interest rate. I have no doubt all of this is because of Julian and his team's combination of intuition, experience, hard work, and care - and it happened so quickly and effortlessly, my only regret was that I didn't approach them sooner. All of this is to say, thanks to Julian Friedman and his team, I now own my first home, and I am thankful for all the joys, large and small, that come with it: we've since made many amazing meals in the remodeled kitchen, played badminton in the backyard, enjoyed sunsets from the deck, and had game nights and movie marathons with friends. Last spring, I planted a garden with my dad, which provided fruits and vegetables all summer. I still see Julian around town, and he always checks in and asks me how I am and how my house is coming along. Last year, Julien delivered sugar cookies to my door, and this winter, he brought me a pie for the holidays. Julian & Company, thank you all so much, sincerely. I am grateful we crossed paths, and continue to do so. - Teo Crider

Julian made buying our home out of state an exciting and memorable experience. Not only did he get our offer accepted in a competitive market, he also gave us the warmest welcome to Bellingham and was an amazing resource to have after we moved. It really made our move and our buying experience so positive and I would highly recommend him and his team! Thank you Julian! - Kristin Henderson

Julian was a pleasure to work with on our luxury edgemoore House he made the transaction easy and removed all of the stress from the situation. Both the buying and selling were made easy with help from him and his team - Blake Hudson

Julian is the first/only agent we contacted when looking for a home in Whatcom County and we purchased the first home he showed us in less than two weeks. He helped us close under the listing price. He's busy but very responsive. You can count on him not only on finding you a home but also for home services, activities or down to the best sandwiches in town. He's also very knowledgeable of the surrounding areas. He's not only our buying but also our selling agent. Kailee, his Executive Assistant, has been very helpful to help us settle in. We're thankful Julian found us our dream home. Highly recommend Julian & Company and his team! - Iris Fu
