In the fast-paced, highly competitive world of real estate, only a small percentage of agents rise to the top—those who consistently go above and beyond for their clients, deliver exceptional results, and show unwavering dedication to their craft. In 2024, Irena Kolbert was honored with one of the most prestigious accolades in the industry: the Emerald Award, recognizing her as a top-producing agent with John L. Scott in Bellingham, WA.
The Emerald Award is not handed out lightly. It is reserved for agents who reach an elite threshold in both sales volume and gross commission income (GCI), making it one of the highest distinctions at the brokerage level. Irena’s achievement places her among the top real estate professionals in the region—and it’s a direct reflection of her hard work, expertise, and genuine care for her clients.

Whether she’s representing first-time homebuyers, seasoned investors, or commercial property acquisitions, her approach is always client-centered and results-driven.
Her 2024 sales year was marked by several standout transactions, strategic wins in competitive offer situations, and consistent growth in both residential and commercial real estate. Irena’s ability to deliver strong results in a shifting market speaks to her market knowledge, adaptability, and tenacity.
“I am deeply honored to receive the Emerald Award this year,” Irena shared. “My clients put their trust in me during some of the most important decisions of their lives, and I never take that for granted. This award is a reflection of their trust and the relationships I’ve built throughout the community.”
