"In my work as a professional fiduciary, I am frequently tasked with selling client-owned properties. Linda Hanson has been my go-to realtor for over eight years and has sold a wide range of property types for me. I can always count on Linda to either meet or beat professionally appraised values. She is a super communicator and a tremendous project manager, always heading off potential complications and finding creative solutions. She is thorough, professional, and competent. I highly recommend her." ~ Glenna Wilder, Compu-Help LLC

"I cannot imagine a better, more trustworthy, resourceful and downright fun agent than Linda Hanson. Linda combines high-tech marketing with down-home traditional techniques in a relentless drive to sell each home she lists. She truly cares about her customers. She tends to every detail of the complex process of successfully selling a property. Linda is street-smart and savvy. She keeps the process on track until the final document is signed in triplicate.

Linda came recommended by a friend in the mortgage-finance industry who had worked with her closely. She quickly rose to the top of the five agents I interviewed while preparing to sell my Lake Oswego house. Linda devoted more time and thought to her proposal than her competitors put in. She listened carefully. She discussed the strengths and weaknesses of the property frankly given the latest market trends, which she monitored continuously. Together, based on her expertise and ideas, we developed a strategy that she implemented flawlessly. She adjusted it in close consultation with me, responding to market changes and reactions from potential buyers.

One of the main reasons I chose Linda was her ability to market properties online. Her videos use drone photography and speak for themselves. Online presentation is crucial these days, as local buyers screen properties before choosing a limited number to visit, and as buyers from afar view houses on the web. One reason that Linda’s videos sparkle is her design sense, an ability refined during a previous career. She swooped in before our video shoot and staged our entire home herself, arranging furniture and featuring curios plucked from belongings I’d stashed in closets. Here’s what she did with my aging ranch-style home. Amazing!

At the time, the market was hot. We thought the house might sell within a few days. It did not. But that didn’t faze Linda. She worked hard, using every technique in the book, even baking delicious fruit pies in our oven to make the house irresistible during key tours... then leaving the pies for us to eat! I can’t picture other agents going to such lengths.

Linda was always accessible, texting no matter the hour. She clearly enjoys her job. When a sound offer materialized, Linda proved to be a highly effective negotiator. She shepherded the process through the inspection and appraisal. Agents don’t have to attend title-company signings. But there was Linda, cheerful and true to form, ensuring that every last detail was handled properly -- even when some of those details had been the responsibility of the buyers’ agent.

I recommend Linda Hanson as an agent enthusiastically and without reservation. Linda makesthe process a dream." ~ Rich Read

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Linda on 3 real estate transactions over the last 6 years. Both buying and selling. I can confidently say, there is nobody else I would want on my side. Her keen ability to foresee issues, negotiate, network, and her flexibility are just a few of the traits I love about her. She will work tirelessly for you to find the home of your dreams. Trust her with your future because she cares with her whole heart. She works incredibly hard, and is passionate about finding you the home you were absolutely meant to be in. She is my go to for all things real estate and always will be.” ~Marissa

“I had the privilege to work with Linda Hanson on two separate occasions. This experience was with both buying and selling.

What struck me immediately was the confidence that Linda brings to the table. What’s more is that she follows up her confidence with determined action. Linda stayed on top of every aspect leading to a successful partnership to the end. I will always put her forefront as a realtor that I can personally trust plus feel at ease recommending to anyone in need of a real estate representative.

Simply put, Linda Hanson represented me with results, a smile and an incredible work ethic from start to finish!” ~Denise S. Molendyk

“This brief statement will serve as a recommendation of Linda Hanson based on my recent experience in utilizing her services as a buyer’s agent in a residential real estate transaction.

At the onset, let me say that the decision on the selection of an individual to represent one in a home purchase is, in my opinion, one of life’s hardest decisions due to the significance of a home purchase. In fact, my active pursuit of a home to purchase was delayed for over a year by virtue of my lack of knowledge of and experience with a real estate broker in which I had confidence and whom I felt I could trust.
Linda was recommended to me by a friend and, upon making the decision to retain her, I soon realized that the decision was the right one. During the course of the home selection process and the resulting facets of the transaction, there were a number of attributes that she exhibited that I found to be outstanding:

1. Trust. Linda quickly won over my trust and confidence. During my transaction I had complete confidence in all that she did.

2. Negotiation skills. Her negotiation skills with the Seller’s agent were unequaled – at all times I felt extremely comfortable in her being able to identify the important negotiating points and pursue them in whatever manner which she felt appropriate.

3. Communications. Her communications with me as the buyer were top notch. I always felt like I fully informed of all relevant considerations and if there were points to be considered or decisions to be made, she is quick to be on the phone to discuss them.

4. Thoroughness. Her attention to all facets and details of the transaction were exceptional.

In short, I would highly recommend Linda to any prospective buyer in a real estate transaction. In the event any further specifics are desired, I would be pleased to provide additional information or answer any questions based on my experience.” ~Stephen E. Heady

“We engaged Linda as our buyers’ agent on a knowledgeable friend’s recommendation, and we owe that friend a dinner at the very least. There may be agents who can nearly match Linda, but it’s hard to imagine anyone surpassing her.

It began with her careful attention to our unusual requirements, helping us narrow down suitable properties without wasting time. As she showed us homes, Linda was patient and generous with her time and knowledge. With her interior design background, that knowledge is formidable. She always behaved as though we were her only client, though we knew that could not possibly be the case. When we found a home we truly loved, Linda went several extra miles to compensate for the listing agent’s peculiarities, sparing us great frustration and worry. Her special talent is people, of all types, and the ability to help a good transaction move smoothly even when others involved do not achieve standards of performance approaching hers. Anyone who has bought and sold a house or two will understand why that’s golden.

She was classy and helpful to closing day and beyond. We bought a house and made a friend. We recommend Linda Hanson without reservation or hesitation. ~Deb & Jonathan

“Linda, Thanks so much for being such an amazing partner during this epic journey. We can’t find words to explain how excited we are to start this new cycle on the amazing house you helped us to find.

All the best and a huge “obrigada”!” ~Tati & Gui

“Linda, We really enjoyed working with you and had a great home buying experience. It’s too bad it was only a 10 days process it would have been fun to spend more time with you although, we are really enjoying our new home. The unpacking is done and we are now furniture hunting.” ~ Natalie & Andrew

“I have worked with Linda in four transactions: two buys and two sells. She seems to see around the corners to advise me about things I've not even thought about. She is clear about process, which makes things easier for me, and I trust her to put my interests first. I always feel respected and heard. In my sales, when I became a little overwhelmed--because, let's face it, selling the home that you count on for safety and security is an existential threat--she calmly helped me focus and prioritize to keep the process moving. I wouldn't do a purchase or even a renovation without her counsel.” ~Richard
