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!

Sean is the only real estate professional we have worked with in our years in Bellingham. We trust him to be honest, to help us make good decisions and he knows this area well.
We always recommend him when others ask us for recommendations.
He’s truly a great guy!

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.

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.

Sean was awesome! He was very knowledgeable and made the home buying process as stress free as it could be. As a first time home buyer, Sean did a great job explaining all the complicated parts of purchasing a home in a simple manner. Sean was always available for a phone call or a text to answer any questions we had and we felt supported through the entire process. Would definitely recommend his services!

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.

Sean and his team were extremely helpful with our home purchase. We were moving from south Texas to Washington and because of Sean’s professionalism and team work with the mortgage company, we were able to close on our new home while in transit.

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 highly recommend Sean for anyone looking to buy or sell, he does not disappoint!

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!

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.

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.

Sean handled the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new home. He is very professional, does what he says, and was always available as question arose. I would highly recommend him to anyone buying our selling a home. His experience was invaluable.

Sean handled the listing of our home and we are very pleased with his efforts. Our property had some challenges but Sean was able to overcome them and we had a very satisfactory result in less time than we anticipated. We would definitely recommend Sean to anyone.

Sean was very professional in helping us sell our house to achieve our goals of moving into a different lifestyle. Moving 40 years of accumulations takes some time to sort out and he was patient with us as we moved through the process. He was very undertanding when we pushed our dates out a few times in order to accomplish the move out process. When it came time to list, his advise was sound and the resulting sale was very positive! I would highly recommend Sean if you would like a professional and positive experience in home sales. Thank you for helping us achieve our alternative lifestyle goals!

We were referred to Sean over a year ago and he has been by our side since that first day. It had been 16 years since we were in the market to buy a house, but I remembered what an awful realtor I had back then, so was extremely discerning when choosing Sean. He made it an easy choice! He understood our timeline and cross-country move limitations and took it all in stride. He was seemingly available every weekend to do last minute (virtual) viewings and entertain our family as they helped us find the perfect home. We had some misses due to the volatility of the market, but ultimately ended up finding the perfect home, in the perfect location, at the perfect time. I credit Sean with our success! I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell!

We were purchasing a vacation home and the process was a little complicated. Sean was absolutely amazing! He was critical in dealing with the seller's agent to get the deal done. We would not hesitate to recommend Sean to anyone - 100%!

Sean is the consummate professional. In a time where the market is unpredictable and out of control his experience and knowledge shined.
Sean was able to get a significantly higher price for our property even after paying his small commission than if we just listed it ourselves. His negotiation skills were exemplary and the small details to make the house a home for the new owner were spot on.

We highly recommend Sean and will use again.

Save yourself a headache and hire Sean.

I can't recall how my search through Bellingham real estate agents brought me to Sean but I'm I found him. Looking back I'm sure the time it took to find our house wasn't too long but it felt daunting at times. Sean's calm demeanor and what seems like an encyclopedic knowledge of Bellingham house prices steadied the search. Who knew finding a 3 bedroom house for sale in Bellingham would be such a wild ride but Sean was the right partner for the job. Work with Sean with confidence. Thank you.
