How can I write this review in a way that doesn't come across as generic or cliché?, because working with Vanessa was so far from that.
She was knowledgeable and professional while also being caring and personal.

Vanessa guided us through a smooth and easy sale of our home.
And we couldn’t have found our “perfect fit” new home without her.
Day or night, weekday or weekend, working or on vacation she was there to answer our every need.

We can not say enough wonderful things about Vanessa.
She was an absolute pleasure to work with and we feel so blessed to have her as a realtor and friend. We will definitely refer family and friends to her in the future.

Vanessa did an outstanding job in helping us market and sell our home. She is extremely knowledgable about what it takes to prepare a home for sale. Every bit of advice she gave us paid off.
I would recommend Vanessa for anyone wishing to work with a professional who knows the Bellingham, Whatcom county market. She truly went above and beyond what I had expected.

Simply put, Vanessa Parry is an exceptional realtor. She is a consummate professional, incredibly responsive communicator, and will always provide you with all your options for every situation you may encounter! Her upbeat, calm, and objective approach to the real-estate process makes working through the many steps, forms, and questions that go along with buying or selling a home a more pleasant experience. We have had the good fortune to work with Vanessa on three separate properties and in each case, she has been attentive, supportive, and often thought of answers to questions before we could even ask them. Most importantly, Vanessa never pressures or pushes and respects her clients positions, even if a decision has to get made – she supports the process, provides ALL the information, and then executes whatever decision is made.

In addition to her positive attitude and her seemingly endless energy, Vanessa is also impeccably well-connected. Her strong networking skills allow her to put both homeowners and buyers in contact with people who can help them with any number of projects – painting, general contracting, handyman services – you name it and Vanessa knows who to talk to! And if she doesn’t, she does the ground work to find somebody who does. In every circumstance, Vanessa goes above and beyond to make her clients feel at ease.

At the end of day, we can probably all agree, that buying or selling a house can be a difficult and sometimes stressful process. But with Vanessa Parry as your realtor, you are in for a first-rate experience sure to calm even the most anxious of buyers (or sellers)! You won’t find a more caring and professional realtor around!

Vanessa and Mike Parry have earned our most enthusiastic recommendation. Real estate transactions can be intense and drawn-out affairs, and the Parry team has handled three of them for us with the utmost expertise, professionalism, and positive good nature. They are wonderful to work with - diligent, patient, attentive, honest - and we have always had complete trust in them to look out for our interests and guide us in making good decisions. We think so much of Vanessa and Mike that we introduced them to our daughter and son-in-law when they were ready to buy their first house, and sure enough, the Parry team found them the dream home they still live in - with their child now! Whether buying or selling, we will always ask Vanessa and Mike to represent us, and we’ll be deeply grateful when they do. They really are Team MVP.

Working with Vanessa was a dream. She is knowledgeable, responsive and motivated. Her follow through kept me on top of both the selling and buying in my journey. Would I use her and her partner, Mike Parry, in another real estate transaction? In a heartbeat. Would I recommend Bellwether Real Estate? Absolutely. A top notch team.
