James Hagarty, Bellingham Buyer's Agent

Hi, I’m James. I’m a Washington State Real Estate Broker serving buyers and sellers throughout Whatcom and Skagit Counties. My passion is helping buyers, especially first time home buyers, through the process of real estate. I was born in Ireland, and raised in Delaware, where I lived when I happened to fall in love with a beautiful girl from British Columbia, Canada (my wife Amanda), now we live together in Bellingham, a city which I have also fallen in love with. Thanks for wanting to know more about me, I would love to learn more about you, so please contact me right away! 360-524-4688

— My Story After our first few years of marriage in Delaware, my wife Amanda convinced me to leave behind the snow and slush of the East Coast for beautiful Bellingham, Washington. We were immediately captivated by this community, and I realized we had found a place to call our home. In my free time I enjoy going for bike rides around Zuanich Point Park, supporting small businesses, local writers groups, and the board gaming community. I also love to make music, and read non-fiction and science fiction. If I’m not attending a reading at Village Books, you can find me playing board games at various gaming meetups around town, sometimes Rudy’s Pizza on Sunday night. As an introvert, I also like to stay in and snuggle with our cats, Beans and Cassie. My professional background is in direct sales and business ownership. Amanda and I ran the calendar kiosk in Bellis Fair mall for a few years. We did so well we won Calendar Store of the Year, beating 800+ other stores! We also own a “virtual” real estate business renting land in the online world called Second Life. I even wrote a book about it, which is currently tearing up the charts on Amazon. I enjoy the time freedom and financial freedom that comes from running my own businesses. Being in real estate full time allows me to enjoy life to fullest, while helping my clients achieve their dreams. Thank you for visiting my website, I look forward to serving your needs!

•Because the value of this property lies overwhelmingly in its unusually large, flat acreage rather than the modest 1927 footprint, its highest and best use is complete residential redevelopment.• Under Portland’s zoning guidelines, a developer can maximize the utility of this 0.55-acre lot by choosing one of the following paths:• Subdivision: Splitting the parcel into multiple individual residential lots.• Infill Redevelopment: Replacing the existing home and storage structures with modern single-family dwellings, a duplex, or a primary home paired with an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).

ELROSE | A PRIVATE MIDCENTURY RETREAT Some properties impress you. Others stop you in your tracks. At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, beneath a spectacular canopy of towering trees, an entirely different world awaits. Set on .39 park-like acres and cherished by its original owner since 1967, Elrose is a rare midcentury retreat where architecture, nature, and timeless character come together in a way that simply cannot be recreated. Painted cedar siding, winding garden paths, and lush, established landscaping set the scene. Deer wander through the grounds, hummingbirds dance among the gardens, and owls call as evening settles in. Here, privacy isn't a feature. It's a feeling. Inside, vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, beautiful hardwood floors, wool carpeting, and two classic brick fireplaces capture the warmth and spirit of another era. Skylights fill the charming kitchen and breakfast nook with natural light. Beyond, a private deck and stone patio create an irresistible invitation to linger beneath the trees. Three bedrooms and a distinctive lower-level retreat with exposed cedar beams, built-ins, and a second fireplace offer spaces to gather, escape, and make your own. Thoughtful recent improvements add confidence to the home's enduring character. Fantastic schools, nearby parks, trails, shopping, dining, and convenient access to major commuter routes bring everyday ease to this extraordinary setting. A two-car garage and generous storage complete the offering. The beautiful midcentury modern furnishings are negotiable with the right offer. **A home with history. A setting with soul. An opportunity that rarely comes along.**
