I joined the Muljat Group in 1998, working for the first few years as a team with my father, Mickey, before he retired. I sell only residential properties, working almost exclusively in Bellingham. I strongly believe that I would be spread too thin and would do my clients a disservice by trying to be a “do it all” agent, selling commercial properties and business opportunities as well as residential properties in all parts of the county. I am a Certified Residential Specialist, which is the highest Realtor designation and the only one that is based upon a stringent combination of experience and education. Only 5% of Realtors have earned the CRS designation. Most of my business comes from past clients and referrals, and I take pride in working hard to protect my clients’ interests. I also strive to maintain my professional reputation within the Realtor community as being honest, ethical and helpful. Other agents are always eager to show my listings as they know they can look forward to a smooth transaction. I consistently rank in the top 1% of Bellingham agents for residential sales volume.
TESTIMONIALS
We made the mistake of listing with another agent in town before we went to Kirk. We had twice as many showings with Kirk and excellent follow-up and feedback about each showing. He had our listing up in a few hours, has a beautiful website and knows Bellingham neighborhoods inside and out. We highly recommend using him!

Kirk was very helpful during the process of finding and buying our home. He was very knowledgeable about the areas we were looking, familiar with the area contractors' work, easy-going, honest and trustworthy. We will definitely work with Kirk again.

Kirk was just wonderful to work with! He listened to what we were looking for and to what we could afford. He showed us homes that were in our budget and would fit our needs. His patience was hugely appreciated as was his friendly and knowledgeable customer service. We will definitely return to Kirk when we outgrow our current home!

Mr. Ghio has been my agent for the purchase of two homes and the sale of one of them over the course of the past 8 years. He has consistently delivered a smooth transition every time. I have referred many friends to him who have also been happy with his work.

Kirk has an extensive knowledge of a large area and can point out the pros and cons of each one. He is exceedingly flexible and patient even when you want to view a property more than once. He is focused (very few distractions from his cell phone) and generous with his time. We will be selling a house in the near future and plan to ask Kirk to assist us.

In a down market, with a glut of similar properties for sale in the area, Mr. Kirk Ghio managed to find a buyer for our condo with a reasonable offer. Although the average sale was taking more than a year at the time, Mr. Ghio persevered and, in the end, all parties were more than satisfied.

We've used Kirk multiple times both for home sales and purchases. He has always taken the time to get to know our needs which helped us to be directed to homes closely aligned with what we wanted allowing us to avoid wasted time. We never felt rushed or that he was put out regardless of our requests. His knowledge of the local area and his personal demeanor made him enjoyable to work with. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kirk and will definitely use him again in the future.

Kirk is the utmost professional. He is efficient and always prepared. He answered all my questions & concerns promptly and professionally. He also made me feel he was more concerned with doing the right thing than to just make a sell. I loved all his advice and respect for my time. In fact, in one of the deals we were involved in was a very complicated deal which he could have steered me towards going through but chose to have me leave it alone even after he had spent massive amounts of time and energy towards it's fruition.

Kirk was terrific to work with: knowledgeable, direct, patient, thorough, intuitive. I would definitely work with him again and recommend him to others!
