Kena Brashear ascends to sole owner of The Muljat Group
December 02, 2025
Kena Brashear recently became sole owner of The Muljat Group, a Bellingham residential real-estate brokerage with approximately 85 brokers serving Western Washington.
Brashear was hired by Frank Muljat, who founded the brokerage in 1988 and passed away Oct. 14. Brashear has more than 30 years of experience in real estate. She was promoted to designated broker in 2017 and became a co-owner in 2022.
“Frank Muljat hired me in 2003 and changed the course of my life forever,” she said. “He believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. He took a chance on me, mentored me, and helped me grow both personally and professionally.
“I’ll always be deeply grateful for the trust Frank placed in me and the opportunities he created. I will continue to honor Frank Muljat and his family by carrying forward the integrity, community, and leadership that define the Muljat name.”
Brashear is the first Black female Designated Broker in Whatcom and Skagit counties and recently was honored with two others as Professional Women of the Year by Whatcom Women in Business. She is a single mother of five, a Western Washington University graduate and a breast cancer survivor. She founded the Bellingham Sonics, a low- to no-cost AAU basketball program inspired by her late father, Coach Keith Greer. The Bellingham Sonics are sponsored by Muljat Group brokers and other local businesses.
The Muljat Group represented buyers or sellers in transactions totaling more than $284 million for a 12-month period ending Oct. 31, according to the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. That sales total was the highest of any independent brokerage in Whatcom County and ranked The Muljat Group fifth among 90 Whatcom County brokerages with at least one sale.
“Muljat Group continues to lead the market as the top-producing independent real estate firm in our area,” Brashear said. “Our success is built on experience, integrity, and a commitment to exceptional service for every client who walks through our doors.”
