Testimonials


In a word - Outstanding! Julia and Steve are a power team. Julia made herself available quickly to look at a house and once we fell in love with it, she took charge and everything went smoothly. She was right on top of everything - it was the easiest purchase we've ever made. She and Steve are a very warm, knowledgable and professional couple - a delight to work with. You can't go wrong if you are selling or buying - give them a call before anyone else!


"Julia and Steve are wonderful and accomplished agents. What I admire most about them is their honesty and openness. I highly recommend them and plan to work with them again in the near future!"


We have had great experiences with both Steven and Julia Mullenix on our real estate adventures. They both are very thorough and listen to our desires/needs.


Excellence in every step of buying our house. Julia and Steve are a power couple that really work well together. Julia showed us the house and was there taking care of all the "little" things that crop up - it was probably the easiest home purchase we've ever done. You won't go wrong working with Julia or Steve if you are buying or selling!


Steve and Julia (Mullenix Team) are top notch. From day one when I first met Steve I knew we had made the right choice. Their knowledge of the market, mindset, kindness and good energy made every step of the sale process simple. Steve and Julia were always in communication with us and available at a moment’s notice. All my Best to you both.


We first met up with Julia a couple years ago to view some properties in Birch Bay, about a hour and a half drive from where we live in Seattle. At the time, we weren’t ready to purchase but were trying to familiarize ourselves with homes and properties in the area. Julia didn’t hesitate to make herself available to show us around and view different homes and land on the market at the time. She was very helpful and we were glad to have her local perspective of the area and enjoyed her style. Then, most recently, when we saw the lot we knew we wanted come up on the MLS, we immediately contacted Julia. She was on top of it right away. She established contact with the selling agent and advised us how to deal with competing bids. Our bid won out. Since the seller was a foreign citizen, a couple minor complications arose during the closing process and the closing date was delayed a couple times to accommodate. Julia kept us informed and assured the whole time. The only stressful part of the process was anticipating whether our bid would be accepted. In the end, we are very happy we had Julia to help us with our purchase. A wonderful, warm, knowledgeable and professional person. As we begin planning to build our new home, we are likely to take advantage of her offer to recommend local builders and trades people. We highly recommend Julia.


Julia was superb to work with. She delivered what is truly our dream home, our forever home. She knows the business and the area, is a great listener (Important!), has the can-do attitude, kept us in line when needed--in a good way, did everything we asked, and more. She will be a friend for life. We cannot recommend Julia more. She will not disappoint.


Julia and Steve assisted us with the sale of our vacation property in Birch Bay and were absolutely amazing to work with. We are Canadians and unable to cross the border and they handled everything on our behalf seamlessly. Communication was top notch and Julia's professionalism left us with full confidence. She brought us a no subject offer and completed very quickly. We had dealings with other agents and by far, Julia was far superior and outstanding overall. Highly recommend, we have high expectations and Julia exceeded them all from start to finish. Thank you Julia, you are a breath of fresh air to work with.


This is our fifth transaction at Peace Arch Real Estate with Steve and Julia Mullenix. We purposefully chose to work exclusively with Peace Arch because of the unprecedented level of excellent service they provide their clients. We have relocated, bought, sold and invested in real estate over the years using other well-known, franchised firms, but none can match the service Peace Arch provides. Steve and Julia are dedicated to both personal and professional attentiveness, far above any other firm we have used. In the current market, timeliness is absolutely necessary to purchase or sell. Steve and Julie are always responsive and seek to serve their client's best interest and are prepared to respond immediately to their client's needs. They listen, provide thoughtful, accurate and insightful feedback, but take swift action when a decision is made. As a buyer, we have experienced declined offers in the past, but ultimately, we were successful in our purchase because of Steve and Julia's keen understanding of the properties we were considering, and for thoroughly following up with the seller's agent. As a seller, Peace Arch marketed our home to the perfect buyer! Selling to us wasn't just about the sale, we wanted to find a buyer who loved our home. We also wanted a seamless and smooth closing. Steve and Julia ensured our home sold to that perfect buyer and closed without stress or conflict. We successfully closed, because Peace Arch was able to make both the buyer and seller satisfied and happy with the transaction. If you desire a personalized, clear, ethical and honest real estate experience, we highly recommend Steve and Julia at Peace Arch Real Estate. Choosing Peace Arch is simple if you want to work with the best!


Julia and Steve Mullenix make a good team. I wanted a home. It didn't have to be big, but I wanted some land around it. They showed me a couple of places that were almost right, then the right place came to us. They listened to me and persevered. I'm grateful to my folks. I'm grateful to the seller. I'm grateful to Julia and Steve Mullenix for their wonderful work. I'm grateful to God for walking with me all my life.


Steve & Julia were amazing. Due to our circumstances (my husband uses a wheelchair) we were limited on what we could purchase. They went above and beyond to make certain we could find a property that was suitable for us. We worked mostly with Julia, and she attended to every detail in a timely manner, and always with enthusiasm, positivity, and a big smile!


Julia and Steve are everything you'd want in realtors and more than you could reasonably expect. They are attentive, responsive, kind, and knowledgeable. They advocated for us at every turn and we felt very well taken care of through the sometimes stressful process of finding and buying a house. The next time we buy or sell a property we will absolutely work with Julia and Steve again.


Steve and Julia are a great team to work with for buying or selling a home or vacation property.


We worked with Julia, Steven helped out too, but mostly Julia. We loved her patience with our specific desires and our limited times we could come up and "power search". She is very quick to respond to our questions and concerns. We loved working with Julia!


We worked primarily with Julia. She was super communicative. She used email, text and cell phone to keep us in the loop at all times. The process was extremely smooth. And they hired an excellent photographer. And she and Steve both worked with us on the initial pricing. They sure must have hit it spot on; the house was sold within a few days and closed in less than a month.


Steve helped me move from an apartment into a home. He listened to my wants and needs and found the home I was looking for. The whole buying process was smooth and successful. I would recommend him to anyone.


Steve was a pleasure to work with. My family and I whimsically decided to check out some houses in town and Steve was more that willing to accommodate our requests and questions. Our first day looking over the housing stock, Steve showed us at least twenty houses and offered us great insight on  purchasing the house and finding one that would suit our needs. We ended up spending the better part of a day getting to understand the housing market and also Steve himself! Not only is Steve a wonderful realtor but also is an active member in the community. I often see him and his wife out and about with their children and it is always a pleasure to catch up. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any housing inquiry in the area as he is familiar with all that Bellingham has to offer and worked hard to help the sale of the house go smoothly.


Stephen Mullenix takes the time to get to know his clients so that he can provide the best services available. A home is a huge investment and not one to take lightly; Stephen understands that and puts in the effort to be patient and provides the support and knowledge needed to help his clients make the best decision possible. He goes above and beyond to create the best experience possible for his clients and their quest for a new home.


Steve is a person of high integrity which is an uncommon trait in the real estate industry. More than making a sale, he wants his customers to purchase without regret. He has special interest and skills working with first-time buyers.


We were shopping from out of state and Steve was so helpful. He told us all about Bellingham (where to eat, shop, etc.) and found us a beautiful house on a large lot! He acted as our eyes and ears while we were still in our home state. We moved to town and were in our new home the next day. I can't  thank Steve enough for all of his help and expertise!


We've enjoyed working with Steve very much. We know we are in good hands as he helps us negotiate the real estate market. Steve is personable, patient and humorous in a relaxed way that makes us feel comfortable. However, when time is of the essence, he is more than efficient and keeps us informed every step of the way. We couldn't ask for a better realtor.


Steve did a wonderful job helping us purchase a new home in Birch Bay, Washington. We currently live in California and were searching for a home to use as a rental which we could eventually retire to. Since we were not intimately familiar with the areas we were searching in, we relied on Steve's  thoughtful and helpful feedback and the various areas in and around Bellingham as we researched homes. We flew into Washington on a big house-hunting weekend and Steve took us to view somewhere around 20 properties in two short days. It was a long haul, but throughout, Steve remained upbeat, professional and a pleasure to work with. Once we selected a home, Steve got the paperwork going immediately, knowing we were flying back home the next day, even though it was past 10:00 p.m., and afterwards, he guided us professionally through the process until we closed escrow. Two weeks after escrow closed, we flew back to Washington to get the keys. Unfortunately, the home was still filled with a lot of items from the former homeowners who were not able to do a good job cleaning the interior and exterior. All kinds of personal items, electronics, and old, wet wood and building supplies were everywhere. Since we were only there for two days and needed to get the home ready to use as a rental, we were at a loss as to what to do. Steve to the rescue! He rented a cargo van and then, in the rain, spent an entire day moving the old owners' belongs out for us. It was dirty and exhausting work, but he remained cheerful and told us it was "part of the job". Overall, in every way, we just cannot say enough about the high level of customer service Steve brings to the table. It's really too bad there are only 5 stars available....anyone seeking to find a new home will be in good hands with Steve.


Steve is principled, hard working, well-informed, and completely committed to his clients. It took a couple of years, and many visits to many properties, before I could find my dream farm. There were many ups and downs through the purchasing process as well, but Steve stood by me through thick and  thin. Good-hearted, considerate, and patient, he's a gentleman through and through.


Bottom line is that Steve and Julia will get the job done. They go above and beyond what I have experienced the typical realtor does. They keep you informed every step of the way along the way. They will get your home sold!


We only have experience with Steve as he was working for a different firm when he handled our transaction. It was an estate sale and Steve was the listing agent. It was a very difficult and tragic time for us and Steve. In spite of the circumstances, Steve stepped up to the plate and got the job  done. He went the extra mile in prepping the property, often lending a hand on tasks to enhance the home and grounds. The house sold quickly at full price with no hiccups. Our thanks and best wishes to Steve. We would definitely use Steve in any future real estate transactions.


Working with Steve and Julia was so easy and comfortable! I'm a first time home buyer and Steve took the time to explain the process to me and make sure that I understood everything. He is very knowledgeable about the area, the market, neighborhoods, etc. I don't think that either of them sleep,  they make themselves available at anytime to show properties and are so personable that you feel like you're just out with friends.


I recommend this fantastic team for so many reasons. They are professional, punctual, and will put in the work necessary to sell your property. They are so knowledgeable about the market and what buyers are looking for. They put in manual labor to get one of the properties to a better condition  which then sold that property very quickly. I am working with them on another property on Lummi Island and they are again putting in the time and work to attract a buyer. You will not be disappointed if you choose Steve and his team.


This is the third transaction we have completed with Steve Mullenix and his associates. Our first purchase closed with Steve guiding us through the process. We were so impressed with his attention and dedication to our needs that we did not hesitate to contact him to list and sell another property  in Bellingham. Steve's skills in providing everything his clients might need to achieve their goals, outranks any other real estate professional we have had experiences with. Steve honored our request to list and sell quickly by handling everything we needed including a market analysis, professional photography, staging, and an open-house within days of our contact. When you find professionals as highly skilled and personable as Steve and his partners, you feel confident that you are represented by the very best. At every step of the buying and selling process, Steve's firm had our interests in mind, and flawlessly guided us to closing. Recently, we sought another investment property and thought of no one else but Steve Mullenix and his partners. He, Julia and Brianna made buying remotely, absolutely do-able in a highly competitive market. They reached out to sellers, assisted us in a multiple-bid offer and represented us so well, that we successfully were able to purchase a home and close early. You can be assured that you will have the same experience and will be impressed with Peace Arch Real Estate's approach. Other companies we have dealt with seem to focus on property sales, but Steve and Peace Arch have an approach that is all about the relationship with the people they represent. Look no further, Peace Arch is everything you need in a real estate company. When you meet Steve and everyone at Peace Arch, you will know you made the right decision in a real estate professional.


Steve was very responsive and helpful throughout the process of buying a home. When we had concerns about a house we were interested in, he would do extensive research and help us make informed decisions about those issues. I would highly recommend Steve without reservation.


We had a wonderful experience with Steven. He went that extra mile to sell our home. Steven is knowledgeable about the local market, he has a very personable approach, he had wonderful communication with us during the entire process, and stayed very active in selling our home. We would highly  recommend Steven for anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Bellingham and/or Whatcom county. Give Steven a call, and I guarantee you will have a wonderful experience and get top dollar for your home.


What I like best about Steve is that he's in the business to work. He treated us and our home search and transaction like it was the most important thing to him. We looked at houses in all weather, day or night, and in between. Based on our experience, I don't think there's anything that can surprise him, or anything he wouldn't do (as long as it was legal!) to get the job done. He's pleasant, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable about the market. He used the professional tools available to him to provide us with unique insights to the tricky market we're in (Bellingham, WA). It was really his care and diligence that put us in our home. Not I only would I recommend him - I have already to several people - and he's already closed a purchase for one of them! He reached out and made a personal connection to our lender which made the deal even smoother, since they were comfortable working together to get us in a home quickly. NOTE: Year of service crossed from 2016 into 2017. Steve started with us in September of 2016 and worked with us until we closed on a home in 2017. He showed us at least a dozen homes during that time (I lost count, actually).


Working with Steve was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. He tirelessly worked to help us find an incredible home. He patiently guided us through the process as we took our time to find exactly what was right for us and our budget. He kept our hopes high throughout the process that we  would find the right home and with Steve, we did. If you want a realtor who is extremely knowledgeable, has a great personality and puts his heart into every aspect of the work, then you want to go with Steve Mullenix.


Steve came highly recommended to us by local residents, and his valued insights and attentiveness enabled us to efficiently shop our target market from 1500 miles away. Steve's excellent communication skills were key throughout the process, and his guidance during the contract phase helped us to  prevail under highly competitive market conditions. Our trust in his professionalism continues to be rewarded every time we put the key in the lock!


Steve was extremely easy to work with, he made us feel as though we were his most important clients. He offered thoughtful and insightful suggestions but was never pushy or demanding. I felt everything he did was in our best interests. He never pushed us to take an offer we didn't want. I would use Steve in a second should we have the need for an agent in the future and have no qualms recommending him to our family and friends


Julia expertly assisted us in closing on our home. You will find her to be warm, friendly, professional and above all accessible without pressure or agendas. Her team went beyond expectations by stepping up to personally assist with issues with the seller's property. Steve Mullenix took his own time to take care of some problems discovered following the inspection, which allowed us to close on time, without stress. The Mullenix Team agents are highly professional, yet will welcome you as friends. They will meet and exceed your expectations. We sold and purchased our home this year with the help of Peace Arch Real Estate. We will definitely be choosing Peace Arch Real Estate over all other major agencies we have worked with, for any future real estate needs.

Great people to work with, reliable and friendly!


Julia and Steve are very personable and really have YOUR best interest at heart!

Pootie Powell


Steve and Julia are two of the most honest and hardworking realtors I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. They are truly genuinely good and caring people, which comes through from the moment you meet them. These two go above and beyond the scope of what I even thought realtors did. I have seen Steve scrub , mend and paint homes for clients into the wee hours the night before an open house! These two actually work for you, instead of just a commission! Weird, huh? Integrity, through and through. Buying or selling a home is a big deal for most of us, it's scary and intimidating! Steve and Julia are so helpful , understanding and genuine, they put me at ease during a really stressful time.

Crystal Arnold


Julia was terrific from the get-go! She was patient with my indecisiveness and with my lack of knowledge for the whole home buying experience. She is down to earth, humble and never seemed like a "sales person" - which would've sent me running from moment one. Even now that I'm in my home and the deal is done, she's still been available for questions that have come up that weren't noticed or thought about before closing. She is a real gem and will help make your experience as personal and smooth as possible! I'm grateful I worked with her for my new home!

Shannon Iwasaki


I have had the pleasure of working with both Steve and Julia Mullenix on two different sales. Steve was my agent during the process of buying my current home. He is communicative, honest, and will go above and beyond to make sure you have a positive experience. He takes time with you and puts you first. He will do the footwork in order to get you the information you need and will supply you with the resources in order to make an informed decision. Julia was my agent as I was selling my rental home. The best thing about Julia is her personality. She is so kind, genuine, and conscious of your needs and wants. She also will go above and beyond to work together with the client in order to make the transaction happen. Her smile brightens a room and she comes from a place of empathy and treats the client as she would like to be treated. Both Steve and Julia are an exceptional team-you are really getting a two for one deal when working with these two!

Lois Reed


Julia and Steve helped us immensely when buying a house, truly working in the buyer's best interest. They were straightforward -- no double talk! Honest opinions and useful observations. Plus, they were relentless, available and downright friendly. We would highly recommend Peace Arch Real Estate.

Gerry Coleman


Steven and Julia are a great team. They worked hard to get a great price for my home. Everything about the process was easy, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with them. I am proud to support this locally owned business.
