Sean
Hackney

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.

He was the absolute best! He catered to all the unique needs that our situation called for, and we couldn’t be happier. He has a ton of experience and local knowledge, and he made everything very easy for us when we were relocating from coast to coast. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else to help you out with all your real estate needs!

Sean is one of the best Realtors we have ever worked with. We had to move due to health issues, and Sean truly moved mountains to make it happen. He is extremely resourceful, meticulous, and always on top of every detail. His communication was excellent-clear, timely, and to the point. Our transaction went much more smoothly than we expected, and that was entirely thanks to Sean. Our family greatly appreciates his dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients. We highly recommend Sean to anyone looking for an Outstanding realtor .

This is the second real estate transaction that we have worked with Sean and he is fantastic! Always super responsive, professional and a good voice of reason. I would recommend Sean to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. In addition to being a great real estate agent, he is also friendly and nice to be around :)

i would highly recommend Sean and would use him again. I was just moving to the area, he knows the area and explains the local nuances. Super responsive and worked to get my deal done from start to finish.

Sean is the BEST OF THE BEST in Bellingham, hands down! I have been referring clients to him for well over a decade and he will always be our go-to agent for any clients moving into his area or looking to sell. His communication is top-notch, his energy is unmatched, and his knowledge of everything real estate is second to none. There is nothing better than when we refer a client and they sing his praises. Do yourself a favor and work with Sean, you won't regret it!

Working with Sean was an absolute pleasure! He demonstrated exceptional professionalism, maintained clear and consistent communication, and was incredibly accommodating. Sean truly made the home-buying process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Sean is the best realtor we've ever worked with, not just in Bellingham Washington and surrounding Whatcom County, but anywhere. He made our out-of-state home purchase seamless and later helped us sell quickly under time constraints. His professionalism, local connections, and marketing expertise made all the difference. He provided trusted referrals for movers, cleaners, and repairs, even delivering moving boxes himself. Working with Sean feels like a bespoke service akin to working with a trusted friend or family member. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our investment. We highly recommend him and look forward to working with him again.

We’ve now worked with Sean twice in the last twelve years. He was referred to us by a friend when we first move here. We bought our first home back in 2012, which was a short sale. Over the years, Sean has stayed connected. We’ve often shared with friends the cool things Sean has done over the years (appreciation events, newsletters, etc) and everyone is always incredibly impressed. We’ve had 12 years to figure out exactly what we wanted and Sean was always supportive and helpful along the way. This time around we had a 7 year old tagging along and Sean made enough of an impression on her that she was always happy when we had to take her to see yet another home. Our purchase of a new home and sale of our old home went about as flawless as could be and we’ve walked away with a new home we love and a pretty enjoyable experience trying to find a new home. Sean is incredibly personable, knows his stuff, is the right mix of giving space but also giving good input, but most of all, he get’s the client what they want. We can’t recommend him enough!

Sean made the entire process of buying so easy. We had specific wants and needs and he searched with us until the perfect one came along. His commitment to us as customers after the sale was just as great as during the search.

Katrina Foster··Nov 2024

We cannot recommend Sean highly enough! From start to finish, he was there to support us and guide through the decision making process to help us buy our dream home and sell our previous one. Sean truly understands the market—his insights and guidance were spot-on every step of the way. He listened carefully to our needs, quickly honed in on what we were looking for, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. His support and dedication were unmatched, and we always felt like a priority. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, attentive, and effective real estate agent, Sean is the one! Thank you, Sean, for making this transition so seamless and successful!

Sean Hackey was our listing agent to sell our home. He is by far the top real estate agent in Whatcom County. We have used Sean twice now and I would use him again. Highly recommend, thanks Sean!

Kara Holtorf··Sep 2024

We were referred to Sean by our realtors in another state when sold our home and began the move to Bellingham. They said he was a great realtor, and they only missed the fact that he is also a great person! Working with Sean was fun, easy, and he quickly learned our likes/dislikes. Sean suggested homes that we had overlooked online, and they all had elements that we wanted. He was always reasonably available to show homes and answer questions, regardless of the day and/or time. Sean was fun to work with and made sure we understood the next steps the entire time. He helped us find our forever home and was an incredible negotiator. We would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a home in the area.

Duane Ostrowski··Sep 2024

I've had the privilege of knowing Sean for a number of years and can honestly say it's one of the best in the business. I feel confident knowing anyone I refer to Sean will be in good hands. If you're looking for a knowledgable professional then Sean is your man.

We are so grateful for Sean Hackney of Next Home Living in Bellingham WA. He is a relocation expert with broad knowledge of Whatcom County history and real estate trends. He is an amazing negotiator securing us a fabulous home at a competitive price. Sean was very responsive to any and all questions, gave us excellent referrals for financing and stayed with us every step of the process! Sean worked closely with us but he didn't drive us, he let us set the pace. Thank you Sean! You are "The Man"!

I have been in the greater Houston area real estate market for over 18 years. I met Sean about 12 years ago and have referred several clients to him for the Bellingham market. We are hard to please so I had to search a while to find someone capable of handling our referrals the way we would prefer. Hands done Sean has been more then we ever could have asked for. He cares for his clients and their needs like no other. From one professional to another 2,000 miles away I would reccomend Sean to anyone. He is a class act and gets the job done!
