Greg Erickson · Birch Bay★★★★★
We could not have asked for a better realtor. Irena was prepared from day one and worked hard to quickly sell our home.
No. Builders budget for buyer agents and don't discount if you come alone.
Irena tracks every active plat in Birch Bay and the surrounding area — ask for the current list.
Always. Pre-drywall and final inspections routinely find issues the county missed.
