I’m Jolene Baijot, a Bellingham real estate agent and Designated Broker with more than 25 years of experience helping clients buy, sell, and invest throughout Bellingham and Whatcom County.
From homes in local Bellingham neighborhoods to waterfront and view properties, I represent buyers and sellers across the residential market. I also work with commercial clients, with a strong focus on multifamily properties and warehouses.
With decades of local experience, I bring strong negotiation, straightforward advice, and a deep understanding of the local real estate market to every transaction.
Bellingham Neighborhood and Market Expertise
I write our Bellingham neighborhood guides and monthly real estate market updates, combining current market data with the experience Josh and I have gained working throughout Bellingham and Whatcom County.
Bellingham is a market where location can make a real difference. Pricing, inventory, views, lot characteristics, and buyer demand can change considerably from one neighborhood to another. Knowing those differences helps us give clients better advice when it comes time to buy, sell, or evaluate a property.
Josh and I have worked together in local real estate for decades, and much of the knowledge behind our website reflects that shared experience. Together, we represent buyers, sellers, property owners, and investors across both homes and commercial real estate.
Homes, Waterfront and View Properties
I represent buyers and sellers throughout Bellingham and Whatcom County, from homes in local neighborhoods to waterfront and view properties.
Lake Whatcom and waterfront properties can require a different level of evaluation. Shoreline, location, views, lot characteristics, property condition, and comparable sales can all influence value and how a home should be positioned for the market.
Whether I’m representing a home in one of Bellingham’s neighborhoods or a distinctive waterfront property, I focus on understanding the property, positioning it well, and negotiating from a strong knowledge of the local market.
Commercial and Multifamily Real Estate
I also represent commercial property owners, buyers, and investors throughout Bellingham and Whatcom County, with a strong focus on multifamily and apartment properties and warehouses.
Josh and I work together on commercial and investment properties. We look closely at the property, its income potential, condition, location, market position, and the goals of the client before deciding how to approach a purchase or sale.
As Designated Broker, I oversee our independent Bellingham brokerage while continuing to work directly with clients across both residential and commercial real estate.
Local Roots in Whatcom County
I grew up in Whatcom County and have spent most of my life here. That local connection, combined with more than 25 years in real estate, gives me a perspective on the area that goes well beyond market statistics.
More than 25 years into my real estate career, Bellingham and Whatcom County are still the center of my business. I enjoy getting to know a property, understanding what sets it apart, and helping clients make well-informed decisions about buying, selling, and investing.
