About
My name is Irena Kolbert, and I am a REALTOR® who was born and raised in Whatcom County, specifically in Bellingham, WA. I love my hometown and enjoy helping buyers and sellers in the area! I specialize in first-time homebuyers, relocation, selling luxury properties, and investment/rental properties.

I started my career in property management for a few years, which provided me with valuable knowledge about rentals and investing. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management and Marketing from Western Washington University to better understand how to market my listings effectively. My education has proven to be a worthwhile investment, as I have helped many sellers sell their homes—sometimes even for $100,000 over the asking price! By marketing my listings beyond just the basic MLS, I ensure that my sellers' properties are presented to a broader audience of potential buyers, resulting in the best outcomes and offers.

Broc Graves
Blaine, WA - May 7, 2025

I recently had the pleasure of working with Irena as my real estate agent, and I couldn't be more impressed with her professionalism, dedication, and expertise. From our first meeting, she took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and provided clear, honest guidance every step of the way. Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and negotiation skills made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Irena was always available to answer questions and went above and beyond to ensure I felt confident and informed throughout. Thanks to her hard work and support, I found the perfect home. I highly recommend Irena to anyone looking to buy or sell. she’s truly exceptional at what she does.
