Sean was our realtor when we bought our first home. Our house was a short sale and he fought for us and helped make a long process run smoothly and kept it moving along! Sean will work hard for you and is hands down the best realtor out there!

Sean was amazing! He went above and beyond throughout the entire selling process. He kept us informed every step of the way, I never had to wonder if everything was taken care of and on track. Sean is thoughtful and adds a personal touch to his business making you feel as though you have a friend in the process. I would highly recommend Sean to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in the area.

as an out-of-country, first-time homebuyer, Sean came through when the time was critical and went above and beyond. At no point did I feel pressured and he gave honest feedback. I learned a lot through the process and we are fulfilled with the purchase of a beautiful home. I would not hesitate to point family and friends to Sean for their Whatcom real estate needs. Thank you again!

Sean was amazing to work with and made the buying and selling process as seamless as possible. Juggling selling one house in Ferndale and buying another house five hours away could have been a complete nightmare. Sean made it as smooth as possible. He helped find us a great realtor in our new area and worked directly with her. He also recommended a great lender and was in constant communication with everyone to keep everything moving. Even with a few hiccups along the way that was out of our control, Sean always handled everything quickly and efficiently. He truly is a trustworthy and hardworking realtor whom I would 100% recommend to anyone.

This the second time that Sean has helped me sell a home. He's wonderful and walks you through every step. He's also there to answer all your questions. If I ever decide to move again, he will be the one I call. We love him.

Sean's is an amazing professional and knows his trade and this region well. Moreover, he is a man of uncompromising integrity, with an overflowing and generous heart. He's really the best of the best!!

I can't imagine either buying or selling a house in Whatcom County without Sean. Okay, that's not true -- I can imagine it because I tried once and it wasn't a good experience. Sean is one of the hardest working people I know. He's smart, ethical, and (perhaps most importantly) kind. His strong focus on service doesn't end when the deal is done - it continues, and continues, and continues.

In the last 10 years Sean has helped me find two houses and sell two other houses. He's also helped my parents and in-laws find houses as well as various friends. He is, without a doubt, the only realtor in Whatcom County I would send friends and relatives to.

Sean Hackney has just handled the sale of two properties for us in Whatcom County. Most of the work was done remotely as our residence is outside of said county. Sean kept us informed every step of the way with reports of viewings, open houses, needed paperwork, suggestions and ideas to consider regarding multiple aspects pertaining to the whole process.
He was great, and we would like to recommend Sean Hackney to all of you. Thank you, Sean, for being there for us, it wasn’t all easy going.

My wife and I recently had a lot and trailer for sale at The Glen in Maple Falls. Sean agreed to take the sales assignment, even though there were over 50 units for sale there. Sean was able to sell our unit for our asking price. He stayed in constant communications throughout the process, even when on vacation. We were very satisfied with all aspects of this complex transaction.

We have worked with Sean Hackney on two transactions now. The first was when Sean very quickly secured a contract on our home once we learned of a work transfer. Closing was very smooth.

The second was the selling of my mom's home. Sean exceeded all expectations. Working with me remotely and Locally with my elderly mom, Sean was so helpful, extremely patient and caring in working with my mom. Patiently answering all her questions and walking her through the process with kind and sensitive understanding knowing that she had lived there for over 50 years.

We can not say enough and highly recommend Sean Hackney to help you buy or sell your home.

I am delighted to write a letter of recommendation for Sean. Working with him has been a totally positive experience from the beginning to the end (we just had our closing). He is professional, helpful, dependable and most of all, kind and considerate. We are now pleased to call him a friend. He went above and beyond in assisting us with the sale of our home and our cross country move. We highly recommend him without any reservation.

We would absolutely recommend Sean. He really took the time to make sure we found the right house for us. Using his excellent knowledge of Bellingham and his keen eye, he provided a very honest assessment of each property's positive and negative attributes. He was quick with communication and was able to accommodate our difficult schedule, even if that meant taking my wife and I to see a listing at separate times. Overall, he went above and beyond the duties I would expect of a realtor. If we ever need to buy another home, we will definitely call Sean!

Sean helped us purchase our first home. He was always responsive, helpful, and easy/pleasant to work with. We bought in a tough market, and he basically worked a miracle to get us into a great home. Sean has been fabulous, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone. When we buy or sell next, we will definitely work with him again.

Working with Sean is always a pleasure. Sean makes a great partner in real estate. He is more than accommodating and was the primary reason the last transaction we completed I did not even have to step foot in the same state. Thank you Sean for another great transaction and we look forward to working with you again in the future. A+++

I live in Seattle so Sean and I did all our communicating via email, very convenient. What I appreciate about Sean, prompt communication and market advice. Sean handled every detail of the marketing, showing, sale of the house for me with professionalism and courtesy. I would pass on the same advice I got from the friend who recommended Sean, "call Sean Hackney, he's never steered me wrong"

Sean came highly recommended and did not disappoint. We wouldn't hesitate to use him in the future or suggest anyone we know use him. From the beginning of our relocation process all the way through to the accepted offer and closing Sean has been amazing. He and his team was truly a pleasure to work with. In addition to the great team the technology Sean used was second to none and we believe helped to sell our house quickly. Having a young child and dog they helped us plan showings around what worked for us. My daughter loved coming home to find where Luke was hiding. Sean was such a great agent to work with we can't recommend him enough.

We had a piece of land in Birchbay for years. Sean Hackney was our agent since the year 2009. He is the best most optimistic, persistent, diligent person we know in the real state industry. He never gave up even when the market was in a slump. He was able to sell our property in 2017! He helped us through the closing process smoothly. It was a pleasure to work with him.
We will recommend Sean without any hesitation.

Sean was personable, professional and responsive throughout my real estate transaction. Furthermore, after I purchased the land, Sean was a valuable resource providing me with recommendations of local contacts for building my new home.

I have known Sean for many years now, and he has always been consistently positive and gracious. I have both bought and sold a house with Sean, and with both experiences he made what could be a very overwhelming task very manageable. His communication is excellent. I can trust Sean and I would recommend others do the same.

Sean is absolutely fantastic. He did an amazing job finding us the perfect property within our price range and with exactly the requirements we needed. On top of that, since I live in Europe, we had to manage the whole thing long-distance and in different time zones. Sean is a true partner, he really cares about what we needed and worked very hard to make it all happen. I'll be depending on his expertise and proactive skillset for my second property soon!

When it was time to buy a house we were very lucky to be put with Sean. He was attentive, quick, and honest. With each house we looked at he gave us his honest opinion from knowledge and experience focusing on us as his client and not just interested in a sale. When we found our perfect house he worked hard and quick to get the offer in and close as the Bellingham house market moves fast. I now have someone to recommend to my friends who are ready to buy a house.

Sean helped us buy our very first home, a process that is just as much terrifying as it is exciting. We don't know what we would have done without him! He was the perfect guide for the journey- he instinctively seemed to know exactly what we wanted and did everything possible to get us into our dream house! Sean thinks of everything and gives 100% to every detail of the process. We recommend him to everyone looking to buy!
