Dianne Hansen

My wife and I hunted for houses immediately upon arriving in Virginia. We intended to browse some neighborhoods to see what we liked, but we fell in love with a home far faster than anticipated. Although we didn't have an agent, we trusted Dianne, the selling agent, to write up a contract objectively and, if accepted, to guide us through the purchasing process. (Offers were due the day we saw the house, and there was little time to hunt for our own agent.) We had met about a dozen other agents in the area during our brief but extensive search for houses, and Dianne was the only agent we felt like we could trust to help us purchase a home despite not being represented. Our gut feeling turned out to be correct. Dianne was very honest, knowledgeable, responsive, and caring throughout the process. Although Dianne represented the sellers, we felt very comfortable working with her.

Dianne has helped me sell my first townhome. During the sale we had a couple speedbumps to get through, but Dianne and Laurie helped me push past the adversity with style and grace. I doubt anyone would ever say selling a home is "easy", however Dianne and Laurie did so much behind the scenes work to make the process extremely easy. They even helped me do wall touchups and paint to help me get the house ready for sale! That meant a lot to me. I knew whent he time came for me and my wife to buy our first home together, we would be going with Dianne and Laurie. Their advice went a long way for us. Dianne was always available by phone to answer questions for us. She rarely didn't have an answer, but when she didn't, she always found an answer right away. I feel like we saw a lot of different places with Dianne. She knew we didn't quite know what we were looking for yet, but she helped steer us in the right direction to our new home. Time and again I have seen Dianne and Laurie level the speedbumps out in front of me. I will definitely be working with them again in the future and would recommend them to my friends and family. Thanks Dianne and Laurie!
