Working with Solomon Bill Real Estate

My process

Dedicated, relentless marketing & priced to sell

When you want to sell your home you need to be strategic about the way you present it. Everything from the listing photos, staging, and pricing comes down to knowing exactly what’s going on in the market and how potential buyers think- what they will look for in your home & location.

Pricing your home, what’s the strategy?

When I help people price their homes, I don’t want those homes to sit on the market forever, so I use some key strategies.

The most important thing is keeping your expectations realistic, rather than over-pricing and never selling.

Market Stats

First, what is the current market like? What are other homes selling for, and how many are on the market.

Condition- red flags, green flags

Second, what’s the current condition of your home? When I work with clients I do a deep dive on the home’s history. If I see red flags, or green flags based on this and general walkthrough inspection, I try to help you price strategically- and either recommend cost to fix issues or the extra we can get for things like recent repairs.

Trends in your area

Third, what are the trends in your area? If your area is seeing an influx of new buyers, or houses get snatched up quickly, we know you are in a good position to get your desired price.

Marketing system overview

Our marketing system is designed to attract Bellingham buyers—people who care about the trails, the community, and the bones of a house.

Professional “Asset” Booklets:

Every listing gets a custom, high-end marketing booklet that highlights your home’s technical specs, neighborhood perks, and local lifestyle.

Hyper-Local Targeting:

We use a 50-mile radius digital blast and targeted social media ads to reach the skiers, bikers, and professionals already looking to move into your neighborhood.

The Narrative:

We tell the story of your home’s longevity—highlighting upgrades, permits, and the “daily life” details that matter to serious buyers.

Professional photography, staging, multi-media marketing and more

“I have sold a number of properties over the years, and never worked with a realtor as thorough and personable as Bill.

I hit a couple speed bumps in the process of selling a piece of land, and Bill could not have been more helpful and supportive throughout the process of getting the issues resolved. He is not a realtor who just sits back and waits for something to drop into his lap. He extends himself on behalf of his clients like few realtors do. My sale did not put a lot of money in his pocket, but he never put me on the back shelf. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.”

Client experiences

Selling with Sol

Got us the result that we wanted, without sacrificing an ounce of integrity.

My mother and I recently hired Solomon Bill to represent us as our sellers agent. We could not have been happier with the result! Solomon sold our raw land for us with a 98% return on investment in four years AND we closed in under a month. One of the things that impressed us most about Solomon was that he got us the result that we wanted, without sacrificing an ounce of integrity.

He was always looking out for my best interest throughout the process.

Solomon was very helpful and went up and beyond for the sale of my home. He was always looking out for my best interest throughout the process. I look forward to his help finding my next home.

You're worth every penny!

Solomon was very helpful and considerate of my needs in the process of selling. Thanks for all the help! You're worth every penny!

If you want to know that you’re choosing an agent that has their client’s best interest in mind, then I would recommend hiring Solomon.

There are lots of little tricks that an agent can employ to get the result that they want in a sale. Solomon knows these tricks, but he doesn’t need to employ them; his knowledge, handwork, and downright skill allow him to achieve the results that he wants without playing any of the “games.” We have a great deal of respect for Solomon as an agent, and can tell that he is also well trusted and respected by the peers in his field (this helps a great deal when working with other agents on a sale.) I will be passing Solomon Bill’s number along to all friends and family looking for an agent to represent them in either buying or selling a house. Thank you Solomon!

He balanced making me feel like family and being super professional the whole time.

Sol is an amazing realtor! He helped in the sale and closing of my Whatcom County property this past year and did a great job. He balanced making me feel like family and being super professional the whole time. I was able to get well over asking and he was also able to work with both parties on paperwork and closing. Such a great experience and would highly recommend Sol for any reality or housing consultations!

FAQs for Sellers

Should I fix everything before listing?

Not necessarily. We focus on the “high-ROI” fixes—things that will turn up in an inspection and kill a deal. I’ll walk through the house with you and tell you what’s worth the money.

How long will it take to sell?

It depends on the “Days on Market” trend in your specific area and how strategic we are with our pricing. I’ll give you the current average for your area during our consult.

What if I need to buy a new home at the same time?

We specialize in “contingent” strategies. We’ll coordinate the timelines so you aren’t left without a roof over your head.
