North West Property Collective
Forests, mountains, coastline, and the local team that knows every corner of it.
North West Property Collective is a Bellingham-based vacation rental management team with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest and a genuine passion for the region they call home. Led by Jessica Cleary, the team brings over 12 years of real estate and property management expertise to a carefully managed portfolio of vacation rentals across Washington State, combining professional rigor with the kind of personal attention that makes both homeowners and guests feel genuinely looked after.

Where Pacific Northwest living meets exceptional vacation rental management..
North West Property Collective is built around a simple conviction: that great property management starts with genuinely knowing and loving the place you work in. For Jessica Cleary and her team, that place is Bellingham, Washington, a close-knit community with a thriving food and drink scene and unparalleled access to world-class outdoor adventure. It's also a place the whole team calls home.
Jessica brings over 12 years of experience in real estate investing, sales, and property management to her work. Originally from Marin County, California, she made a deliberate choice to plant roots in Bellingham and build a career here, drawn by the community, the landscape, and the lifestyle. Her approach to property management is grounded in integrity, genuine empathy, and strong communication, giving her the ability to handle complex situations with clarity and professionalism while keeping both owners and guests at the center of every decision.
Recognizing the crucial role that effective property management plays in protecting and maximizing asset value, Jessica has focused her career on this discipline, bringing the same dedication to every property in her portfolio that a homeowner would bring themselves.
Supporting Jessica are Operations Manager Sara Hughes and Assistant Jen Havens, ensuring the team delivers consistent, detail-driven care across every property they manage.
Outside of work, Jessica can be found exploring the Pacific Northwest with her husband and two sons: hiking, skiing, practicing yoga; and traveling whenever the opportunity arises. That deep connection to the outdoors and the region gives her an authentic understanding of what draws guests here and what makes a stay truly memorable.

Testimonials
This was a great property. We've stayed at a lot of VRBOs and this property is at the top. It was impeccably clean and well appointed, providing coffee pods, laundry pods, all soaps and shampoos, etc. All appliances are quality and well maintained. The linens and towels were nice quality. The main living/dining/kitchen area is a nice size so there's space to spread out. Easy off street parking. Would highly recommend this property.
Jennifer M. about Fountain District TownhouseLittle Blue is one of the nicest places we have ever rented through Vrbo! The house is beautifully and colorfully decorated and furnished. The kitchen is well supplied with everything we needed to cook. The bed is very comfortable, and the closet system made it easy to store and easily access our clothes. The surrounding forest and giant trees provided a peaceful setting for relaxing.
Wendy H. about Little BlueWe absolutely love this beautiful home! It is perfect for a big family as it is kid friendly with plenty of toys to keep the little ones busy and very comfortable for all. I would choose to stay here again and again. Close to down town and all the things we needed in a lovely quiet neighborhood. I appreciated the well equipped kitchen and the open dining area. We were running late with our breakfast and the manager was so kind to not have us rush out the door. Thanks for being amazing.
