The Hanson Team is professional and hard-working. There were several challenges in the sale of our mother's home, and they met each with grace, humor and intelligence. PROFESSIONAL Janie and an excellent communicator. They reached out to the family at each step of the process, from preparing the home and property for sale, which was a significant challenge; through handling offers; and the final business of closing escrow. When you are dealing with several family members, all of whom bring their own experience to the discussion, everyone benefits from the real estate agents being patient, gracious, and well-informed. That was most definitely the case with Hanson Team. They are so experienced and fundamentally kind, that any potential mountains remained their true mole hill size. In addition, they have a strong bench of support for preparing a home and property for sale. Our mother's home had a couple of decades of deferred maintenance. You could imagine how overwhelming it might have been if we had to handle all trade contacts, bids, contracts, etc., ourselves. Janie has relationships with trusted and professional contractors across the spectrum of the trades. In each case, whether it was painters, plumbers, or tree service, the work performed was very good and at a reasonable price. HARD WORKING The home was a bit off the beaten path. Janie never hesitated to make the trip out there to check on progress and to help in a myriad of ways. Furthermore, they anticipated each step and kept the whole process moving fluidly and quickly. We remain impressed with how quickly everything got done, from the initial inspections through the close of escrow. We really could not be happier. While the home and property had deferred maintenance, Janie saw the diamond in the rough, and worked hard to bring the property to a state where it could get the best value. The view from the property on its hillside had been obscured by years of mature tree growth. They worked with the tree service to preserve the beauty of the trees and open the view, restoring it to the gem it had been when our parents originally bought the property. It was stunning, and the product of vision and persistence. FINALLY, we are so impressed with, and grateful for Janie and hear team. They have a profound understanding of what it takes to sell a home and bring all of themselves to the many steps and challenges along the way. If you are looking for a real estate team to represent you, look no further. They will move mountains to get the best value for your home.
