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 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!

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 .

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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 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!

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!

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 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!

Detail oriented, perceptive, great at explaining arcane real estate details and patient. And the folks that he recommended to us (for bids, etc) were uniformly terrifiic. I would strongly recommend anyone looking to buy a property in Whatcom County consider working with Sean

He’s a consummate pro and a real asset!

He was always quick to communicate, friendly, and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

From determining price to negotiating contracts. He keeps the less professional and newer agents on task. We use Sean for all our real estate needs. Whether we are buying or selling. And you should too

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

We will also be grateful for his professionalism and Knowledge which made everything easier

As a first time home buyer he gave us a ton of helpful information and really made the process enjoyable. We would highly recommend!

Very honest and professional from start to finish. He made the whole process go very smoothly and was accomodating to our individual needs and concerns. I would definitely recommend him.

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!

He supported our goals of an alternative lifestyle and was very patient when we had to push out our list dates in order to help us get rid of 40 years of accumulations. When it came time to list, he gave us good advice and the sale was done quickly and the outcome was very positive. I would highly recommend Sean or anyone on his team to help you sell or purchase your home.

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!

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.

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.

All of the advice was spot on and every question was answered in a timely maner. We sold our house in a few days and when the slightest problem came up he was firm in the decision that was the best for us. Thank you

He is so efficient at all the little details making the process so easy. Communication is his strongest attribute and he was always available for any question or concern. Without a doubt, I would choose Sean over and over again to help with a sale or purchase of a home!!

I can highly recommend his and his team to ANYONE looking to buy or sell a home.

He's a real pro and I would recommend him highly!

You will be very pleased with his marketing and follow through! I really can't say enough good things about him and his work!

We didn't know anything about the area and he really helped educate us. He was very communicative and walked us through the process. I consider Sean a friend, which will be very helpful living in a new city.

As first time homebuyers, we felt nervous and worried about missing steps in the home buying process, but Sean was so helpful and informative every step of the way. He was always willing to help us get in to tour homes as soon as we asked. After our offer on the home was accepted, we always felt well informed of the status of our new home, what was expected of us during the loan process, and what we needed to prepare for before our close date. His timeline was spot on and made our lives stress-free. I would highly recommend Sean to anyone I know looking to buy a home.

I'm super thankful working with Sean. He helped me buy this condo and now sell it 4 years later. I had a lot to learn about both processes and he always communicates in a way that is informative and helpful. Even with a buyer pull-out he had the listing back up and the perfect buyer in no time at all - talking me through and encouraging all the way. He also has a way with special touches like personal notes, helpful contacts and surprise drop offs (like moving boxes just when I needed them).

We had a difficult property to sell. But , Sean was persistent and as they say "Get Er Done". He had many good ideas to help sell our property. The best thing about working with Sean is that he is so personable and caring. When you finish working with him you feel like you have made a good friend. We, my wife and I, highly recommend Sean Hackney for all your real estate needs.

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%!
