We have now trusted Michelle twice with our home purchase needs. Several years ago, she helped my oldest son by a DSM condo to use while attending medical school, and most recently, she guided our youngest son and his then-fiancA(C)e through purchasing their very first home. As first-time homebuyers, they needed a lot of guidance and Michelle was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly patient with all their questions., meticulously detailed throughout the entire process, very responsive and was protective of their interestsaEUR"even recommending crucial steps they wouldn't have thought of, like securing a home warranty and getting a sewer inspection. We cannot recommend her enough! Thank you, Michelle!
Michelle did an amazing job negotiating on our behalf and helping us secure the home of our dreams. She was very available throughout every single step of the process and bent over backwards to help explain to us anything we did not understand or put our minds to ease about things that we were worried about. If I ever buy a house again, Ill be back!
Michelle did a wonderful job guiding me through the process of preparing, selling and moving from my home. She was always there to answer all my questions and help me through next steps. When asked I always recommend her to anyone selling their home.
I had a great experience working with the Hanson Team during both the sale of my old home and the purchase of my new one. Michelle was my realtor and she was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and always willing to answer questions and explain the next steps. Selling and buying at the same time can be stressful, but Michelle made everything feel much more manageable. I really appreciated her professionalism and support from start to finish. I would definitely recommend the Hanson Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Michelle is a great real estate agent to work with. She has helped me with multiple properties, including my primary residence and an investment property. She has multiple decades of experience, which she leveraged to assist us with valuable insights about potential homes and navigating through the negotiation and closing process. If given the choice, I would recommend her as a real estate agent.
From our first meeting, Michelle's energy and enthusiasm were contagious. She brought genuine care to every step of our journey, whether we were selling our beloved home or finding the perfect new one. Her attention to detail and responsiveness made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and even enjoyable. What impressed us most was her generosity of spirit. Michelle went above and beyond to support our family, answering questions patiently and always having our best interests at heart. She listened carefully to what we were looking for and helped us navigate decisions with confidence and clarity. Our new home is everything we hoped for, and we owe so much of that success to Michelle's expertise and dedication. She made this experience truly memorable for our entire familyaEUR"something we'll always appreciate. We highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking to buy or sell. You're in excellent hands with her!
Michelle was a great help with both our buying of our new home in Altoona in 2021 as well as the sell of that same home when we ended up moving. It was great to have an entrusted agent working so hard to make both the buying and selling easy processes.
Michelle did an amazing job helping me with all aspects of the sale of my house. She was kind and compassionate, always checking to see how the sale of the home was affecting my children. She offered great advice as we worked through the sale and I can't imagine going through this process with anyone else.
I cannot recommend Michelle and team enough! From start to finish, Michelle listened to my needs and goals and figuratively held my hand through the entire process making it completely stress free. Michelle is extremely knowledgeable, an expert in her craft and has amazing attention to detail to where I didnt have to keep explaining what I wanted/needed. She treated me as if my sale was the only house she had to worry about, and I never had to remind her about anything. This wasnt just a transactional relationship aEUR" it was truly a partnership, and I couldnt be more grateful for such a wonderful experience in selling my home and buying a new. Thank you, Michelle and Karla!
Michelle did an outstanding job for us! She always went out of her way to meet us at the property when we had questions or contractors needed to do last minute checks prior to closing. She consistently kept us updated on what our next steps should be and when. I would highly recommend working with Michelle and her team!
Great real estate team!! Highly recommend them! Michelle is a top-notch realtor and an all-around wonderful person! She is professional, knows her stuff, works for you, and has great insight and guidance. She was instrumental in helping me find my home, and also helping me sell when the time came.
My wife and I cant say enough good things about working with Michelle Hanson to find our dream home in the Des Moines area. Since we were still living out of state during the search, we werent sure how the process would go, but Michelle made it feel easy. She was always on top of communication and really took the time to understand what was most important for our family. When our home popped up on the market (and was gone within just a few hours), she jumped right on itaEUR"taking us through a virtual tour that same evening. By the next morning, thanks to her hustle, our offer was accepted. Were now in a home we truly love, and we know it wouldnt have happened without Michelles hard work and dedication. If anyone is looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond, Michelle by far would be my first name that comes to mind. Barrett & Cassie Eller
Michelle did an outstanding job assisting us with the purchase of our house in the Des Moines Metro area. Her knowledge and expertise in the market in the area is top-notch, and it was instrumental in determining a competitive purchasing price while considering the future resale value for the area. Michelle was involved in all aspects, from showing to finalizing the purchase. She did a great job during pre- and post-inspection. She was very responsive. She even kept the keys of the house for me because I was not in town after closing. She took it upon herself to come regulate the temperature while i was gone for military training for 1 month. Michelle, you deserve a 10-star rating.
Michelle was absolutely amazing to work with! She is a wealth of knowledge! We appreciated her keeping us updated on everything from the status of our listing to the information about the property we were purchasing.
Michelle w/ The Hanson Team at ReMax Concepts is true professional. She will never say or promise anything she cant deliver on. Michelle and her Team not only helped us find the acreage we longed for but was able to market and sell our house for more than we originally expected. We continue to refer her and The Hanson Team to everyone we know looking to buy or sell. 10-10 recommend!
The Hanson's represented me in the sale of my townhouse. Michelle arrived fully knowledgeable of the market and fully prepared to list my home within hours. I've sold several homes in my life and I have never been this pleased with my representation. The energy of the Hanson team was truly amazing--nothing was left to chance.
Michelle is a Rockstar. I have purchased four homes with the Hanson Team and they make a very stressful life event feel like they are experiencing it with you, as a family. Her professionalism is high level. She is fun, bright and cheery and gets the job done. I definitely recommend!
Working with Michelle and team was a wonderful experience. Her expertise, advice, respect, and integrity are all exceptional! I'm so very thankful she suggested to do a sewer inspection on a house that I was going to buy, as it showed major repairs were needed. She has an eye for seeing things that I don't and points those items out...not that they are deal breakers, but I should just be aware of them. Awesome experience with the team!
The Hanson team were very knowledgeable and helpful. They worked hard to help me sell my place and found me the perfect home! I have used them with my last two homes. You wont be disappointed!!
Michelle and her team recently sold our house. She is simply the best and truly loves what she does! Michelle is patient, responsive and very thorough! We highly recommend The Hanson Team if you are looking to list your current home or need help finding your dream home! We were delighted with their services throughout the process.
I have bought now two houses with the Hanson Team. They also sold my house. Michelle worked through a ton of negotiations on the selling side and buying side and worked day and night to get this done. I am forever in her debt and am in my dream house due to her diligence. Words cannot describe how thankful I am to have used this team. If you want things done timely, professionally, and carefully look no further. Absolute savage!
Michelle helped guide me through my first home purchase! I was very particular about what I wanted and New to the Des Moines area so it was great to have her expertise available given that I had a lot of questions. She was also recommended to my by a friend. Love my new home!!
The Hanson Team were the best realtors we have worked with. They are very knowledgeable, effective, and timely. They did their research prior to listing our property, and exceeded our expectations in all facets of the process. We will absolutely use them again. The
Our experience with the Hanson Team was exceptional! They are second to none in this business. They navigated our sale with such professionalism, foresight and attention to detail. Amid being one of the most stressful things a person can go through, Michelle and team made it seem effortless! We knew we were in the best hands. 10 out of 10!! ROCKSTARS!
My wife and I are new to the Des Moines area and Michelle was an excellent resource. She guided us through our search and had helpful information about each area we looked at. When we finally found the house we wanted, and since we are very particular this took some time, she advised us and skillfully negotiated all aspects of the purchase and closing. She continues to provide great referrals to us when we need services. We would highly recommend The Hanson Team to anyone who is considering buying or selling a home.
Its always a difficult decision to choose the right realtor when purchasing a property, then also the experience will determine how stressful the process might end up. Our experience with Michelle and Josh to purchase a property with a large garage was painless, and a very good experience. They have very good knowledge of construction practices, and home systems to know what a property might need for today and into the future so you can purchase at a price-point that works for your budget, and they negotiate with the seller accordingly. They are very personable, family focused, and available nights, weekends or whenever an issue comes up, or you need a quick answer to a question. They take the stress out of purchasing real estate and are there after the sale if needed too! We will recommend the Hanson team to friends, family or anyone that does not like to buy or sell property, you wont regret choosing them!
The Hansons are not only first class realtors, but also first class people. Have know them for a long time. We always knew when it was time for us to sell are home, we were confident they would take care of us. Took all of 3 days to sell. They waited for us to be ready, knowing it would go fast, and that it did. Without there knowledge and help it wouldnt of went that fast.I wouldnt recommend anyone else but the Hansons to sell there home.
So knowledgeable of the process and will walk you through each step. Communication is amazing and they keep you up to date on each item through the process. Highly recommend The Hanson Team for you buying/selling needs.
My boyfriend and I had an excellent experience with Michelle! She is very knowledgeable, helpful, and always quick to respond to any questions. She helped us find our perfect home! With the market being very competitive right now, she helped us put in an offer and talk through logistics very quickly and efficiently. Michelle is professional and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home.
Josh and Michelle were absolutely amazing to work with on selling our house in Bondurant and buying a home on 2.25 acres in Runnells. Their ability to analysis the market resulted in listing our house for the right amount. Their experience in the business resulted in having the right people to call for everything: photos to market, cleaning specialist, individuals in the different trades for repairs and inspection company. They made sure we understood all of the paperwork and made it extremely easy to read and sign. Having bought and sold a handful of properties this was by far the most enjoyable experience thanks to the Hanson Team!
Michelle was awesome to work with for my first time buying a home in Pleasant Hill. She was always on the lookout for new properties and would set up showings as soon as she possibly could, sometimes within 20 minutes we?re looking at a house! She was honest and very patient with me as I was looking at houses for on and off over a year. Highly recommend Hanson team!!
Josh and Michelle were fantastic to work with through the whole buying and selling process. They were able to help me prepare my home for sale, and researched my local market to help set a listing price that would draw a large number of potential buyers in. Josh and Michelle were very supportive through my entire process, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to my family and friends.
Good luck trying to find a real estate team that will work harder for you than the Hanson Team. From start to finish they were quick to answer any question we had, patience to explain things we didnt understand, and always very friendly and professional. When the time came to show the house, multiple offers, inspections, contractual details, and closing The Hanson Team was with us the whole way.
Michelle & her team of professionals are hands-down the best I have ever worked with! Its been a few years since Ive purchased a home & with Michelle & Team Hanson, I was able to relax knowing that I was in great hands! Honestly, I cant give them enough praise for all their hard work & attention to details.
Michelle was so helpful to us during the process of buying our first home! She was quick to answer all of our questions, and went above and beyond her duties as our realtor. We couldnt be happier with our experience!
Not only did Michelle and Josh keep me informed with selling my house but they came up with solutions to try something different to get the buyers in to look at my house and land. They showed and shared my property on everything. Absolutely love Josh and Michelle. I would recommend them to my friends and family!
What can I say but a huge THANK YOU! I know ours was not an easy or even a traditional transaction, but you helped us each step of the way and got us a quick closing. Just the Best!!!
I would recommend Michelle, and the rest of the Hanson Team, to anyone looking for a home in the area. They always give 110% to their customer, treating them like they would like to be treated. Their knowledge of the real estate business and local market are top-notch. My family didnt feel like a client, but more like a collaborator with Michelle, doing what was in the best interest of buying our new home and getting our existing home sold. Highly recommend!!
I feel so lucky to have found Michelle and Team Hanson. We are total noobs to Iowa and Hanson took us under the wing. Found and made the purchase process to stress free. I could not be more pleased. My mother in law will be relocating from out of state next year and I am so thankful to put her in the trusting hands of Team Hanson. Thanks again for a really fun transaction and the excellent home, it is perfect for us.
I have really enjoyed working with Michelle and her team on the sale of our farm property. Michelle is very responsive and in tune with her customers needs. This is a top notch team. I would highly recommend this group for your next sale or the purchase of a new home. This team was also instrumental in the purchase of a new property for me. Top Notch all the way.
I cannot recommend Michelle and her team enough! My husband is in a wheelchair, so going to resale homes is no easy feat, nor are there many already accessible homes on the market. She really took the time to listen and understand what we needed and was beyond patient. She even orchestrated a meeting with the builder, seller realtor, and designer for one home we were interested in. And Josh lifted the hubs and chair up the steps so he could be a part of it too!We ended up building a home, and she was there every step of the way- she took an entire day and hit up a majority of the vendors with me and asked all the important questions I didnt even know to ask. At final walk through she saw all the things I missed (Im really not observant). She really knows her stuff, but equally important, she genuinely cares!
We have bought and sold several homes. Some we bought and sold through other realtors. Once we found Josh and Michelle, they are the only realtors we use. They are very, very honest. They told us realistically what our homes would sell for, and advised us what we needed to do upfront that buyers would find desirable.They have excellent contacts for any work that needs done prior to listing! Following their recommendations, we had a quick sale and no issues with unexpected requests for work or concessions from buyers. Also, they are excellent negotiators on both buying and selling. We looked for our new home for quite some time and they were very patient - very easy to work with. They were very responsive to any questions we had. No hesitation about working with them or recommending them to others.
You will not find a better agent anywhere else. Michelle went above and beyond anything we could have asked of her. She makes this scary/stressful experience a breeze. She took the time to always explain things to us to make sure we knew what was going on at all times. I could not have been more impressed!
Michelle and Josh were a great team. We had a very short search/purchase window and they were able to get the job done. I appreciated the Hanson teams answers/recommendations to. my questions and consistent timely follow-up.
Michelle was very helpful and knowledgeable in helping me buy my first home! I would definitely recommend her for your realtor! Michelle went above and beyond to help me purchase my townhome!
The Hanson Team provided beyond exceptional service. Their expertise in every area was extremely necessary as we were purchasing a home from out of state. We could not have found our home as quickly as we did without their dedication and hard work. They listened. They worked tirelessly. We cannot recommend them enough to anyone buying or selling a home.
These guys were so helpful and always willing to run around one more house, one more time, or answer one more question for us. While looking at houses, they were always willing to offer advice and opinions. Michelle was also great at encouraging us through the negotiation process, and all the way through. We appreciate them so much!
This was our 4th home purchase and without a doubt the BEST buying and selling experience weve ever had. Nobody takes care of their clients like the Hanson Team! From the first phone call to closing they went above and beyond for us. Always quick to respond to any communication (phone, email, text) and updated us frequently every step of the way. When the inevitable hiccups arose that go along with buying and selling at the same time, Michelle and Josh were quick to address them, negotiate strongly in our favor, and keep our closing date on track. Cant say enough wonderful things about them! A friend of mine also used them and said, I want to buy another house just so I can hang out with Michelle again. :) Seriously though, go with the Hanson Team - they are fantastic at what they do and truly care about their clients.
I contacted Michelle to sell our 2 story home in favor of a ranch home. If you are looking for a straightforward realtor that works diligently with your best interest in mind, choose Michelle Hanson. She responded within minutes to my text messages, knows the market, and is a skilled negotiator. I chose Michelle and Josh and was very impressed with the Hanson team. I will use them again and continue to refer our family and friends to this kind and caring team.
WOW. Be prepared to be completely blown away! My son and his fiance worked with Michelle and Josh when they bought their house and I was so impressed that I asked them to help me last month when I was ready to purchase a home. Amazing. It was like ready, get set, go. Michelle found me a home within a week and then did an even more amazing/never heard of thing, pulled off a two week closing. Yes, you heard that right. She worked diligently with my lender to pull off a two week closing. Its incredibly difficult to find dedication like this in todays world. There is a reason why Michelle and Josh have all of these 5 star ratings. Well earned. Thanks you guys, I absolutely love my new home!
