Our Team
Jeff Strand, Broker
I am deeply passionate about real estate, with 15 years of experience, and I’m five-star rated in Western Washington. In 2024, I won the Executive Club award and the Staff Choice award for my real estate selling success and enthusiasm working at RE/MAX Whatcom County. My passion, expertise, and longevity in the industry speak to my dedication and skill. I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life. I have a special place in my heart for first-time homebuyers. I’m known for my strong negotiation skills, clear communication, and professionalism. I stand out as a Realtor who truly cares about my clients’ needs, making each experience positive. I have a business degree from the University of Washington. I enjoy swimming, running, skiing, collecting fine wine, and dining in local restaurants with my wife.
Courtney Shannon Strand, Marketing Director
As Cascade Coastal’s Marketing Director, I leverage my extensive background in marketing to drive results. I expertly advertise our listings, publish engaging newsletters, and manage our website and social media.
I have a Master’s in Marketing & Communications from Franklin University and a Bachelor’s in Journalism from Eastern Washington University. Before Cascade Coastal, I enjoyed a successful career as a Marketing Director for several Seattle-based companies.
When Courtney is not in the office, you can find her lifting weights, hiking, running, cycling, and cooking healthy meals with her husband.
