Hi, I’m Tessa!

“I am a strategist and strong negotiator for my clients”

Tessa was taught early on the value of owning real estate and she’s built her entire real estate investment portfolio around that idea. As a “mom & pop” investor, she understands firsthand the importance of every dollar invested into your home. Financially, she’s seen the difference that owning real estate has made in her life, and it’s her goal to help achieve those same results. Leveraging her keenly trained eye and contractor network, Tessa ensures your property reaches its maximum potential before hitting the market. By utilizing her personal investing experience in parallel with the work she does on a daily, Tessa brings dynamic insights to her client’s real estate experience.

Tessa began her real estate career as a property manager, where she learned the value of home maintenance and strong communication. Working with owners to help them maintain their rentals meant working to protect the value of their investments, all while keeping the waters calm between tenants & owners. From there, she transitioned to the fast-paced role of supporting a top broker. Working as his assistant and buyer agent, she learned all the nitty gritty fundamentals of navigating the real estate market while maintaining superb client care. Now as a solo broker, Tessa has found her place to thrive. At RE/MAX, with a culture focused on growth and education, Tessa has found a brokerage that nurtures her drive for excellence. With frequent training, collaboration amongst top brokers, and continued educational opportunities, Tessa has found unparalleled support in her pursuit of excellence in all that she does.

When you work with Tessa, you'll receive clear and concise communication, professional guidance & expert negotiations. As your dedicated agent, she’ll advocate on your behalf and seamlessly guide you from pre-contract through closing. Tessa’s commitment to cultivating lifelong relationships with her clients ensures that you always have a trusted resource in your real estate endeavors, and you’ll see that reflected in the service she delivers.

In her next life, Tessa guesses she’ll come back as an independent customer service consultant. She is often noticing (to her husband's chagrin) ways that businesses can improve their efficiency while at the same time, creating a more seamless and enjoyable customer experience. She brings that passion to her real estate career, by frequently refining her systems & processes to elevate her client experience. Her goal is to anticipate any areas of stress throughout the process and to have a system in place to alleviate that stress.

When it’s time to play, you’ll find Tessa chasing deep powder days at Mt. Baker and often squeezing in a few overnights in her RV, training her dog Tito, trying out a new recipe, or relaxing in the sun on her deck. If she’s not doing any of those, you’ll find her in the fixtures aisle at Home Depot, picking out the next updates for her latest renovation project with her husband Kinsey.

 
 

Macy chillingworth

Aloha, I’m Macy!

“I am the office manager and marketing coordinator for Lilac Listings”

Macy joined the Lilac Listings team in 2025, bringing with her an extensive background in customer service, marketing, and real estate. She’s had her real estate license since 2016, and previously worked on another top-producing real estate team! As the office manager of the Lilac Listings team, she provides critical support to our brokers, ensuring operations run smoothly, files stay organized, details are accurate, and our listings get wide exposure. Macy expertly markets our listings, manages our social media presence, helps with coordinating client appreciation events, publishes engaging newsletters, and occasionally handles the Matterport! With a keen attention to detail, an eye for good aesthetics, and a people-focused spirit, Macy thrives in her role as Marketing/Office Manager. Macy is proud to work on this all-female real estate team. She admires the way these ladies not only excel in real estate, but also give back to our local community!

Macy was born and raised on Oahu, then came to Belligham to attend WWU — and she’s been here ever since! She loves the Pacific Northwest (yep, rain and all — but especially those fall colors that you don’t get in Hawai’i). In her free time, Macy loves spending time with her partner Josh, and their two cats. She also loves meeting up with friends at one of the many breweries in Whatcom County, or one of the new restaurants in town…and occasionally zipping up to Canada for some seriously good sushi.
