About Charissa

Home is an
anchor.

And the beginning of adventure.

So glad you’re here!

Hi there, nice to meet you! I’m Charissa. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve also spent years living in Austria, the Netherlands, and South Africa. Those experiences taught me just how emotional—and meaningful—finding the right home can be.

These days, I’m settled in beautiful Bellingham with my 4 kids, a place that instantly felt like home. From the endless trails and inspiring views to the creative, close-knit community, I truly love everything this area has to offer.

As a realtor, my greatest joy is to walk alongside you during one of life’s biggest transitions. I bring soul and strategy to every transaction. I have a calm, intuitive approach and a deep love for helping you find a home that aligns with their lifestyle, values, and dreams. Whether you're buying your very first home, upsizing, downsizing, or starting over after a life change, I’m here for you every step of the way.

My clients know me as thoughtful, reliable, and detail-oriented. I collaborate with a trusted local network to make the buying or selling process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me running at sunrise, biking around town in my cargo bike (with my kids!), listening to audiobooks, or tending to my garden. In the middle of life’s beautiful, messy adventure, home is where we get to exhale, feel safe, and simply be who we are.

I can’t wait to meet you and help you find your next home or list your current one!

The best part of this work? You.

  • She is one of the most friendly, professional, responsive...

    My wife and I had the good fortune of meeting Charissa at an open house in Blaine. She is one of the most friendly, professional, responsive and helpful agents we have worked with. We would highly recommend Charissa!

  • We trusted her completely!

    Charissa went above and beyond our expectations for a real estate agent. We bought our first home with her and were blown away by the way she guided us each and every step of the way. We trusted her completely!
