Giving back is an important part of who we are at WCAR.

Each year, the WCAR President selects a charity that is meaningful to them, and a portion of the proceeds from our Annual Awards Banquet is donated to that organization.

This year, WCAR President JoEll Snyder chose DVSAS (Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services) in recognition of their work helping survivors access safety, stability, and housing resources during some of the most difficult times in their lives.

We were honored to present DVSAS with a donation of $2,500 to support their vital work in our community.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the banquet. Together, we are making a difference in Whatcom County.

Last call to make your impact go even further. ❤️ And give back to an organization that gave over $50,000 to those affected by the floods right here in Whatcom County.

For 25 years, the REALTORS® Relief Foundation has provided critical housing assistance to families recovering from disasters and hardship. Now, during this milestone anniversary year, your donation can go twice as far.

Through May 31, Realtor.com® will match 100% of eligible donations up to $100,000.

If you’ve been meaning to give, this is the moment.

Text RDCRRF26 to 71777 to donate and help support families when they need it most.

Together, REALTORS® continue to show up for our communities, not just in transactions, but in times of need.

Bellingham’s median home price is up to $711K (and that was in April), but the real story is the split. 📊

Right now in Whatcom County, 48% of homes are flying off the market over list price. Meanwhile, overall days on market have doubled to 30 days, and more than 25% of active listings are facing price drops.

When a home hits the market today, it’s either going to Sizzle or it’s going to Sit.

Are you equipped to handle both? 🚀

Join the WCAR Young Professionals Network on Wednesday, June 10th for our next masterclass panel: Sizzle or Sit: Pricing Tactics and Creative Concessions in a Divergent Market.

We’re bringing you the hyper-local scripts, strategies, and mathematics top agents are using to price homes perfectly, navigate tough seller conversations, and utilize creative offer strategies to get the deals.

☕ Morning coffee and snacks are fueled by our amazing sponsor, Evergreen Home Loans!

📅 When: Wednesday, June 10th | 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
📍 Where: Dorothy Haggen Conference Room
🎟️ Admission:

WCAR Members: FREE with advance RSVP ($5 at the door)
Non-Members: $5 with advance RSVP ($10 at the door)
