I was born in California, but my childhood was spent right here in Bellingham. After graduating from Sehome High School and the University of Washington, I enjoyed an interesting career in land surveying, which was an excellent background in learning to analyze property. In 1998 I decided to join my father Mickey at The Muljat Group in the “family business”. We worked together for several years before he retired, and I have proudly carried on the tradition of service ever since.
As a second generation broker and lifelong resident, I have built a wealth of local information and connections. My encyclopedic knowledge of real estate laws and forms has earned me the office nickname of “Father Ghio”, and I contribute regularly to helping keep our agents informed of the frequent changes in the industry. I work tirelessly to protect my clients’ interests, and I consistently rank in the top 1% of Bellingham brokers. I have represented buyers and sellers all over Whatcom County and northern Skagit County. When I am working with buyers I analyze every house through a lens of “would I buy this for my own family?” We may have different tastes and needs, but I will tell you the good and the bad things I see in every house. If I think it is a bad investment I will tell you. I have talked many people out of buying marginal homes over the years, and have built a loyal following of repeat clients and referrals because of this. No matter how long it takes, I sleep well knowing I have done everything possible to find the best possible home for my clients.
I am foremost a proud parent and partner to my wife of over 30 years, and a father to our two amazing sons. “Home” is the most important place in my life, and I understand and honor that every family is seeking their own sanctuary. Your home needs to fit your specific needs, not mine. Experience matters when choosing where your family lives and I have that experience.
What does my life look like outside of the real estate world? I am a passionate explorer, hiker, traveler, reader, musician, adventure motorcyclist, and dog rescuer. If two wheeled adventures are your calling, I have recommendations for many amazing rides. Do you like to walk or mountain bike? I live at the base of Galbraith Mountain and can share the best trails and answer any questions you might have. Looking for restaurants, brew pubs, fun shops, or getaways? Ask away. I love where I live and I am always happy to share.
Your life deserves to be embraced. If you are seeking open spaces and open minds, there is a spot waiting for you here. I look forward to welcoming you.
