About Don
I am your trusted Compass NW Realtor® and Northwest Washington Community Advocate
Now proudly serving clients from Compass NW real estate Bellingham office in historic Fairhaven, I bring over 30 years of experience in business development, sales, and marketing to every transaction. With a deep-rooted belief in thoughtful guidance and client-first service, I specialize in helping individuals and families navigate the real estate journey with clarity, confidence, and results.
From leading brands in manufacturing and medical technology to mentoring business professionals and supporting first-time buyers, I’ve built a reputation on adaptability, strategic thinking, and delivering value at every step. At Compass, I now have access to industry-leading tools, national reach, and the power to offer clients unmatched discretion, exposure, and opportunity in the market.
Real Estate with Purpose and Precision
Guided by my personal philosophy—“Forward-Thinking People Think Backward”—I help clients plan for the future by making intentional decisions in the present. Whether you’re looking for your first home, investing in new construction, or buying or selling in the luxury market, I align strategy with lifestyle to ensure your real estate goals are met with precision and purpose.
Specialized Certifications for Distinctive Service
My professional designations reflect a lifelong commitment to education and excellence, enabling me to deliver specialized support tailored to each client’s journey:
• Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®): Compassionate guidance through life transitions such as downsizing, retirement, or estate planning.
• Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®): Trusted representation and advocacy for buyers in competitive markets.
• Home Finance Resource (HFR®): Financial fluency to help you understand loan options and make sound financing decisions.
• New Construction Buyer Specialist: Clear, informed representation throughout the unique process of purchasing newly built homes.
• Luxury Property Specialist: Discreet and elevated service for high-end clientele, delivering attention to detail and personalized marketing through Compass’s luxury platform.
Deep Local Roots and Community Leadership
As a graduate of Leadership Whatcom and an active member of the Whatcom County Association of Realtors®, I serve on the Education and Engagement Committees to stay ahead of local trends and policy shifts. I also serve as Vice President of the Blaine Chamber of Commerce and sit on the City of Blaine Planning Commission, keeping me closely connected to issues that impact housing, economic development, and quality of life in our region.
From Fairhaven to Ferndale, Lynden to Anacortes, I work tirelessly to ensure my clients make informed decisions that create lasting value.
