"We knew Tessa as a member of our community, and we saw her integrity and grace under pressure in a previous role prior to becoming a realtor. Our friends also spoke highly of her help finding them a home. Tessa dealt with all aspects of our home purchase in accordance with the highest level of experience and integrity. On several occasions, a less scrupulous realtor might have pressured us into offering on a home that just wasn't right for us. In those cases, Tessa urged us not to settle and helped us clarify our goals with the big picture in mind. For over a year, Tessa worked with us to find the house that was right. She was indefatigable, patient, and optimistic that we would be home owners, even when that dream seemed nearly impossible. In regards to communication, we could depend on Tessa for clarity and honesty. She had to educate us quite a bit, as we were completely new to real estate. Tessa walked us through every aspect of the process with such amazing patience. She really took the time to get to know our needs, lifestyle, and hopes. The end result is a house for our family that exceeded our expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend Tessa to anyone who wants to purchase a home; she is simply the best."

"Tessa Hagwood is very trustworthy. She proved this to us on a prior property search when she discouraged us from buying a more expensive home that was not a good choice for our needs. Helping us find the best "fit" was more important to her than getting a higher commission. Tessa is also a reliable communicator and was very responsive to our questions and needs."

Tessa was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful during our complicated house hunt! Her communication was always on point and we always felt like she was just a phone call away. She made the home buying process much easier on us and I'd highly recommend Tessa to anyone looking for a home on the Central Coast!

"Tessa is incredible. Her local insight and understanding of market conditions helped me land a home in record time in a VERY challenging market. Honestly, trusting her insight is the only way we landed the home at all and the selling party confirmed that us following Tessa's recommendations was the key to our success. In addition to this, I can't say enough about Tessa's professionalism, work ethic, and attention to detail. She made us feel like we were the only clients she was supporting when I know that wasn't true. She responded fast to all our requests, met us all over the county for viewings on short-notice, and was knowledgable throughout."

"We loved working with Tessa ! She is very kind and welcoming. Tessa is honest and upfront . She was helpful with local community information for us . We really enjoyed working with Tessa and highly recommend her!"

"Tessa was amazing through the entire selling process, she is so progressional yet so friendly at all times. She had quick turn around time regarding any questions we had, she is full of energy and there is no doubt how well she cares for her clients and wants the best for them."

Tessa is truly incredible. Working with her it felt like we were here only clients as she made herself super available to see homes and talk through questions. She went above and beyond at every stage, with sage advice that ultimately helped our offer get chosen out of a large list of offers in a competitive market. She has even helped us arrange for local service providers to help us handle some things in the house after it was purchased. She is professional, kind, and diligent in her work. I'll be recommending her to anyone I know that is buying or selling.

"We worked with Tessa to purchase our first home-- it was a no brainer to work with her again to sell. She guided us well through all of the offers (multiple!) we received and helped us choose the strongest one. Her organized spreadsheet with pertinent information all in one place made the options clear to understand. Somehow she makes you feel like you're her only client. The only downfall of her quick turnaround for communication is when it takes longer than 5 hours, you want to send a text to make sure she's safe, ha! Her strategy made us feel comfortable and proved to be incredibly profitable and as painless as possible for us."

"She was very helpful and always there would great insight"

"When we originally sat down and met with Tessa prior to listing our home she was so through in educating us on the selling process. She walked through our home with us and gave us her opinion on what we could do to optimize our selling potential. I never felt pushed or rushed to get out home on the market. It really put my husband and I at ease. Tessa did a magnificent job making our home look top notch when it came time to sell. Her description of our home was so spot on and really did a wonderful job at encapsulating how much our home meant to us. Taking the time to list the home on multiple platforms and still add signage to the front of our home gave us so much opportunity for showings. Thanks to Tessa we had back to back showings on our home with 8 offers (all above asking)! It would have been overwhelming had Tessa not been there to walk us through each offer and weigh out the pros and cons. To this day we feel so happy about the offer we chose and appreciate Tessa helping us be so confident in our decision."

"Tessa Hagwood was the only choice in our heads to assist us with the purchase of our home. She played such a pivotal roll in us securing the home of our dreams. We never once felt out of the loop or in the dark about what stage of the process we were in thanks to her (she actually made purchasing a home fun!). I loved that she had such a grasp of the area and knew exactly what were were looking for and where to find it. Tessa's confidence and knowledge of her trade is why we recommend her anyone who is looking to buy or sell their home. THANK YOU TESSA!"

"I would recommend Tessa to anyone looking to sell or buying a home. She is the best agent to work with."
