We were very lucky to have Shaina assigned to us last fall when we made an appt on Zillow to see a listing. After several months and many home visits we found our house. When we put our first offer in we were up against other offers and were given the chance to resubmit. She understood what was needed to beat the other offers and how to proceed. Now we are using her again to sell our first home. She has reliable inspectors, photographers, stagers and handymen who regularly work with her. She knows how to set the suggested asking price and we are thankful for her expertise!
Wow, the best. Very polite, great personality. Takes it an extra 10 miles to make sure your interest are met. very knowledgeable of the real estate industry including the current trends and markets.
Forbes Hansen is an amazingly capable real estate broker. 100 Proof. Gold standard material. Let me tell you why I like Forbes so much. I have used many different real estate brokers over my 45 years of owning, selling, buying, and managing real estate here in Washington. That's how I know that Forbes is one of the absolute best.Forbes was immediately open and transparent about how he went about his real estate work. He had a genuine enthusiasm and excitement for a unique property. He was the only broker who could take a look and instantly 'get it'. And 'get it' he did! He had no qualms about reaching up on pricing this unique listing that really had no marketplace comparables. Our preliminary listing conversation was easy and just flowed. I hired him on the spot. I knew he was my best broker possible for my sale. Forbes is quite unique in that he creates real videos of his properties. We're talking professional equipment, well-edited to create a very evocative and emotion-filled presentation. I want to make clear this is not one of those clunky 360-degree image things. Forbes makes an inspiring movie that creates interest that translates into buyer responses. His video of my property was absolutely incredible. Once the listing was up and live Forbes handled all the communications with me, buyer brokers, escrow, title people, and recommended several vendors. He demonstrated exemplary communication skills solving problems in a cordial manner. Forbes did not need to negotiate hard to get results. He was able to explain to me and to the buyer broker great solutions to put the transaction together.Forbes demonstrated he has great relationships in the real estate industry with title, appraisal, and other real estate brokers. His rock-solid reputation provided access to quick answers when needed. Otherwise, Forbes was proactive and made sure everything ran smoothly.Forbes also is a very genuine and authentic human being. A rare commodity in real estate brokerage. It's quite refreshing and appreciated to have somebody demonstrate consistently high ethical standards, coupled with a can-do attitude, and all the skills necessary to make for a smooth successful transaction.I recognize this is a lengthy review. But Forbes is not somebody you can appropriately characterize in a few words. I genuinely enjoyed working with him. I feel he could work with anybody, whatever their circumstances, and in an exemplary fashion. Many thanks, Forbes, for a very successful transaction!
NOT ALL REAL ESTATE AGENTS ARE CREATED EQUAL. My wife and I recently listed a 2 A 1/2 acre property with Forbes Hansen, agent with American Dream R. E. Services in Anacortes, WA. What a relationship that resulted in a very successful business arrangement! Forbes knows what hard work, honesty, genuineness, and character mean to success in business. He worked diligently and his excellent communication skills and frequent updates about the property lead to a successful sale for my family AND the buyer. Forbes was very skilled at aEURoecreating a storyaEUR? for our listing. His professional photography, videography, and printed listing were second to none. Thank you Forbes for exceeding our expectations! We will refer all of our family and friends to you with confidence and without reservations knowing you will get the job done. We will not hesitate to have Forbes as our agent in future real estate endeavors. Doug and Elga Kinnear
I met Forbes years ago at an open house and got his card. When returning to the area, he was the first agent I contacted. Right away he made us feel like old friends. He was always very helpful, quick to respond, and set up viewing appointments that worked with my schedule. While shopping for a home he was very knowledgeable about the market in the area, but also about the quality of the homes we were looking at. The entire home buying process was made a breeze thanks to Forbes. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.
