Sean is amazing! We worked with him to buy a house in Bellingham for our upcoming move, and he was so helpful with the entire process. He's been in the area a long time and was able to provide useful information about neighborhoods, send us listings that met our criteria, and send over videos he took on house tours for days when we couldn't make the trip to see listings in person. Sean was incredibly organized and fast when we expressed interest in houses, and was very much on top of things when we were ready to submit offers. He's a true professional who takes his work seriously, and he played an essential role in helping us buy a home that we're very excited about. I strongly recommend Sean to anyone searching for their next home!

I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Sean Hackney. From day 1, Sean was extremely responsive and had great suggestions for homes to view based on what I was looking for. He was very accommodating and patient in showing me, a first-time homebuyer, houses and explained to me every detail and how it could impact maintenance cost. I would, and will, recommend Sean to anyone in the market to purchase a home. I look forward to the opportunity to work with him and the NextHome Northwest Living Team again.

David helped us get our first home during this competitive housing market. He is a really nice guy, who goes above and beyond customer service. As first time home buyers, David stood for us when dealing with the seller, builders, title company ect, and always had our best interest at heart. I sincerely recommend him.
"
- Gerzon
"
First of all, David's knowledge of the area is exceptional. Combine that with his years of experience, and he helped us find our new home without having to show us many houses. Once we had selected our new home, his handling of the process was near perfect. We had a tight closing schedule, but his expertise enabled closing on schedule. I can heartily recommend David.

We can't say enough good things about our experience of buying and selling our home with Sean Hackney. Sean was there every step of the way! Sean's expertise in the field and patience with us were only outdone by his excitement for us in this new chapter of our lives. He supported us through every aspect and was emotionally invested in our journey. All of the little touches along the way were so unexpected and fun--from beautiful pamphlets, professional videos, and fun signage (who doesn't love a cute dog?!) to decorative keys, balloons, and welcome home goodies. It is obvious that Sean LOVES what he does, and has the knowledge, experiences, and expertise to make your Next Home the right one for you!

Sean came highly recommended to me from a family member & he was absolutely wonderful to work with. He guided me through the entire process, so I knew just what to expect and he kept me updated throughout. He was such a pleasure to work with and so easy to talk to I felt as relaxed as one could feel selling a home in this crazy market!

I can't imagine a better real estate agent than Sean. So professional, personable and skilled. He made buying a home in Bellingham very easy (maybe too easy? Nah!). He knows his business and quickly figured out what we were looking for and helped us a lot in narrowing our choices and in prioritizing. I can imagine how one could go wrong in working with Sean. And, after you settle on your new house, you know that he will keep in touch and be a resource. We look for to seeing him around Bellingham. Thanks Sean!

David Huynh, did a fabulous job on following up on a old client that needed help in locating her forever home.Got the perfect place and the complete real Estate deal went very smootly.Thanks so much David !!

- Cheryl Marvel (Buyer)

I tried to sell an office building I had when I retired. Having no success I listed it with David. He sold it in 2 weeks for 50k more than I was willing to settle for if I had to. He helped me draft the necessary contract so I could offer financing to my buyer. He earned his money many times over on this transaction. You can trust him with your selling needs, he knows what he's doing.

There are lots of agents out there that will place a sign in your yard and do the bare minimum to sell your home. Then there agents like Sean hackney that take a vested interest in you the client, in your home and the process of selling your home. There are lots of agents after doing the bare minimum to sell your, expect full payment for very little work. Then there are agents like Sean hackney that dot every “i”, cross every “t” and have no expectations until the job is completed 100%. There are lots of agents that can help you sell or buy a home. If you want an agent that takes a personal stake in the process, walks with you step by step through that process, answers your questions and addresses your concerns day or night, an agent that becomes your personal advocate- then call Sean Hackney, the best first decision you can make!

We were buying a house from out-of-state and Sean always went the extra mile for us to make things as easy as possible in that situation. Sean also knows everyone in the area, which was so helpful when he was looking into properties we were interested in, in navigating the offer process, and in getting connected to the right lender/appraiser/etc. I think Sean was just as happy for us as we were when we got the house! Thanks for your support Sean!

Sean was a joy to work with. He helped my brother and I sell our Dad's house when he passed away. We live out of state and he helped us coordinate repairs and clear out the last few things in the garage. He did an amazing job of putting together a virtual tour and photos. The house was on the market one weekend and sold for the price that we wanted. I can't recommend him enough.

Would definitely work with him again.

David went out of his way to make my home purchase stress-free and as easy as it gets. He was thorough with his paperwork and made closing a breeze.

Discovering Sean Hackney was one of the best things that happened in the process of selling our house in Bellingham. His knowledge and experience were invaluable and his consistent, thoughtful insights got us through some tough times. He listens well, understands the process and really committed himself to our success, even though we were not the biggest customer in town, he went above and beyond. Highest possible recommendation.

Jack worked well with us. Allowing our input and offering suggestions while guiding us thru the process. I am a mortgage originator and thought I knew the process well, but still had many questions as a seller. And we all reached a satisfactory conclusion. Thank you, jack!!

Sean was an amazing agent for us. He took great care to find out everything about us and what we were looking for in a house, a neighborhood, and more and then went to work. He always listened to us and kept us informed re the process, the real estate market, and the ins and outs of each house and location. Because of his attention to detail and taking the time to really listen to us, he consistently provided us options which ultimately led us to our dream house. In addition, he presented us so well to the sellers, capturing the extra information that made the sale. We can't be happier with him and would highly highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home just as our dear friends recommended him to us. He is the best.

With all the stressors of selling and buying a new home layered into the daily grind of work and life, nothing makes searching, vetting and purchasing a new home more seamless than a seasoned professional. Key attributes are - clear communication, timely follow up, expectation management, excellent listening skills, well rounded industry knowledge and the ability to translate information to the seller and buyer, sound negotiation strategy, thoughtfulness and awareness and respect for the clients time. All of these are what make a Sean Hackney. Whether you’re making a 500k or 1M+ investment, Sean will take you through the process while demonstrating what it takes to be a high level professional.

Sean was an excellent agent assisting us with our first home purchase. He helped us win against another all cash offer! He steered us toward our perfect home and kept us away from homes he noticed maintenance issues with. Sean was also our psychiatrist keeping our spirits up along the way.
"

David was great to work with throughout the process, using his local contacts at the county, etc. to find out what was needed to obtain a Lot certification for the property. He communicated with the buyer’s realtor and kept us in the loop On the process. After the first two buyers backed out due to wetland issues, he worked with the third buyer’s realtor to allow extra time for the wetlands study to be completed.

David is just plain user friendly! He's energetic and enthusiastic without being pushy. He's personable and good natured, even funny. This was my first home puchase as a single woman, and David's first loyalty was to the seller as he was their listing agent, and I chose not to have anyone represent me. He was very professional, informative at every turn and a real pleasure to work with.

Sean went above and beyond. He helped our family purchase a multi-family property while we were out of state (some of us in a different country) which provided a lot of unique challenges. He helped us navigate it all with ease. I always felt supported and that he had our best interest at heart. It has always been our dream to live in a multi-generational environment, and now that dream is being realized. Thank you, Sean!

Sean was awesome. As a first time buyer Sean treated me like family every step of the way. Sean was quick to send over homes that matched what I was looking for as soon as they hit the market. Sean responded to any questions that I had and was quick to set up appointments to go tour homes I was interested in.
On move in day Sean was there and just as excited as I was. He helped with the move in process and even had a house warming gift for me!
Can’t thank Sean enough. Would definitely recommend.

I was referred to Sean by an out-of-state realtor who knew of Sean's skills, experience, and professionalism. Sean developed a plan to sell my home and kindly coached me along each step. Sean's team provided impressive support in marketing my home. Sean actually fielded offers on Superbowl Sunday resulting in the sale of my home on a schedule he predicted based on his accurate metrics. Sean is hardworking, resourceful, and intelligent. Sean also has a great sense of humor, and he is a pleasure to work with.

We had wonderful experience with David and finally able to move into our new home. Although housing market had been difficult these past years, he worked with us patiently with one goal in mind, that is to help us get a home and he made it happen. We are so glad to have David as our Agent and definitely recommend to anyone who are looking for Real Estate Service.
Thank you so much David !! We are very grateful for all your help.

Sean is one of the best realtors we have ever worked with.
We had to move due to health issues, and I truly feel that Sean moved mountains to make it happen. He is incredibly resourceful, meticulous, and always on top of everything.
Communication was fantastic-clear, prompt, and to the point.
Our transaction went much more smoothly than we ever expected, and that was entirely thanks to Sean. Our family truly appreciates his dedication, professionalism, and commitment to his clients.

About NextHome Northwest Living
NextHome Northwest Living doors opened in February 2017 with owners Sean & Staci Ryan and Sean Hackney in Bellingham, Washington.The three knew of each other because of our real estate community, but each was at a different brokerage when they first got together at a conference. A random dinner conversation led one of them to say, "Wouldn't it be cool if there was a brokerage that was referral based and personal growth oriented, so that we can best serve our clients?!"
Flash forward a decade later and the three were introduced to the award winning national franchise of NextHome. As one of the first 200 offices to open up nationwide, NextHome Northwest Living prides itself in quality over quantity.
"Serving our clients relationally is our foundation," says Staci. "We and our agents are not out buying internet leads, cold calling, or door knocking. We focus on what we do best which is negotiating the best possible terms for our clients, knowing the market, and staying at the forefront of current trends."
Sean Ryan goes on to state, "Rising tides raise all ships in our approach. Our client experience is second to none."
Serving Bellingham, all of Whatcom & Skagit Counties...NextHome Northwest Living is here for you!
