Favorite

1331653696Frank Muljat Jr. sold his first piece of property at age 21, a 1,500-square-foot commercial parcel in downtown Fairhaven. It sold for $1,500. That sale began a 45-year real estate journey for Muljat, who has been voted Businessperson of the Year for 2011 by readers of The Bellingham Business Journal.

Muljat was grateful for the award and claimed his years of experience as a contributing factor for the acknowledgement. He said his 60 or so employees should also share in the acceptance of the award. But the biggest reason he believes he won is the fact he loves his job.

1331161252“I enjoy work, love the people, love the office,” Muljat said. “You have to love where you work. It makes life better.”

After 45 years in the real estate business he doesn’t plan on retiring anytime soon. Even though it may not be the “good old days,” it is still a career he loves and is proud of, and he will keep working “until it’s no fun anymore,” Muljat said. “But I really am enjoying it.”
