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!

From breathtaking sunrises to glowing sunsets and even the Northern Lights on the right evening, this is a home where every season brings a new view. Set on 5.75 acres just minutes north of Hayden, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of privacy and open space with natural gas, paved county-maintained roads, mountain views, and just the right amount of mature trees to preserve both the scenery and the peaceful North Idaho setting. A tranquil water feature welcomes you to the front porch, setting the tone before you ever step inside. The moment you walk through the front door, soaring chalet-style windows draw your eyes to the backyard as natural light pours into the great room. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beam accents, and a gas fireplace create a space that feels both grand and inviting. Designed for gathering, the kitchen features a large quartz island, KitchenAid appliances, a built-in beverage refrigerator with freezer, custom walk-in pantry shelving, and upgraded staggered-height solid alder cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers, plus additional cabinetry and countertop space that make everyday living as effortless as entertaining. The spacious primary suite offers a custom walk-in closet, dual sinks, a beautifully tiled walk-in shower, and a motorized Sunsetter blackout shade over the bedroom window for added comfort. Just beyond, the expansive covered patio extends your living space outdoors, creating the perfect place to enjoy wildlife, quiet mornings with a cup of coffee, or evenings spent watching the colors change across the southwestern sky. Functionality is woven throughout the property with an oversized attached 3-car garage featuring five enclosed storage cabinets and an impressive 30'x50'x16' shop equipped with 50-amp power. Additional thoughtful upgrades include invisible patio screens, stacked stone accents, designer entry and dining room chandeliers, zoned heating and cooling with a smart thermostat, heated gutters, and the home is wired for a portable generator (generator not included). Beautifully designed, thoughtfully upgraded, and surrounded by some of North Idaho's most incredible scenery, this is more than a place to live--it's a place to truly enjoy coming home.
