"Having Colleen Thorsen as my Realtor was a pleasure. She was efficient, hard working, and always available when needed. She handled both the sale of my former home which was sold for full price at an open house she arranged, and the purchase of my new one in Kingston which wouldn’t have happened if she hadn't been willing to put a deal together expediently. I feel she was a gift and I was lucky to have found her.”  - Patricia C.

I’m Colleen, a local Realtor® here in beautiful Bellingham. I was born and raised in the Seattle area, and while attending UW I met my husband, and we moved to Whidbey Island where we raised our two children.  During those years I operated an online bridal design company, and once the kids were grown, I ventured out into the world of real estate.  I began my career with John L. Scott, and I have been happily serving my clients here ever since.

I enjoy all the outdoor fun that Bellingham has to offer – biking, skiing and hiking.  But the hobby that gets me out of bed in the morning is figure skating. I’ve been an avid skater since childhood, involved in everything from competitions to coaching. These days, though, it’s just for fun and exercise.

Whether you are a first-time buyer, looking to downsize, or just relocating in the PNW, I will help to make the process smooth and stress free.  I very much look forward to working with you to help facilitate your long-term goals with unparalleled service and professionalism.
