Buyer of 1002 Wolf Street, Narrows
We came across Jake through Zillow and didn’t expect much. Never bought a home, didn’t know anything about the process. But we still reached out. We were adamant about what we wanted for the price we asked. He accepted the challenge immediately and went straight to work. The first house we thought we wanted went through but Jake wasn’t going to give up. We stumbled across two houses. One was a maybe but the other was an absolute yes. But we still wanted to see them both. We are ready to view the two candidates. We viewed the first and yes it was habitable and met our requirements but it didn’t bring happiness like what we wanted. Jake knew that the forever home was the next one to view and the last hope for us and that he would make it work. He worked tirelessly answering any late night questions we may have had. We put in an offer and we were rejected. I told him to counter-offer what we wanted and he made it work! Inspections next! We wanted certain things fixed and Jake said “Yes, it’s getting done.” Jake got things done as he promised he would get done in close as 24 hours before closing. Even now after closing, he takes calls and works his magic on things we want fixed even though he doesn’t have to. Simply put, he’s a man of his word. Come to him for your buying or selling needs.
Buyer of 735 George Edward Viaduct, Christiansburg
Couldn't be happier with the experience. Jake was always prompt with responding back to us, even when we weren't expecting a response right away. To use a cliche, golden retriever energy is an apt descriptor and was very welcomed. Even when our search was starting to become stressful, Jake's energy kept us positive. Highly recommend working with him and his team.

I couldn’t be happier with my home buying experience working with Jake and his team. From our very first conversation, it was clear he genuinely cared about finding the right home for us, not just closing a deal. He was knowledgeable, patient with all of our questions (and there were a lot), and always made us feel like a priority even in a competitive market. His negotiation skills and market expertise made a real difference, he helped us navigate a few tricky moments during the process with confidence and a clear plan. He was also incredibly responsive to calls and texts, which made the whole process feel much less stressful. The only minor note I’d add is that he’s clearly in high demand, so we occasionally had to work around a busy schedule and appointments running a bit late. It was a small inconvenience in the grand scheme of things, and honestly a testament to how many people trust him with their home search. Overall, I’d recommend Jake and the Hinson Team to anyone looking to buy a home. His expertise and dedication made all the difference, and we’re thrilled with our new house!

Buyer of 135 Kitchen Road, Max Meadows
Laura was the MVP of our homebuying experience! First impressions were she was warm, approachable and very quick to enjoy a laugh at our banter. She listened to our needs, wants, and was thoughtful and intentional with her suggestions. She was patient with all the viewings and very gracious about accommodating the large area in which we were looking. When we finally found homes on which to place an offer, she was quick, knowledgeable, and honest about our standing and plain when pointing out the value in a home. Her network of peers and colleagues grew our homebuying circle and power in ways we can't express in so few words. She was understanding when we excused ourselves from a deal and even more excited when we finally found our home! We cherish the relationship we built with her and encourage all buyers, but especially first-time homebuyers (like we were) to utilize her skills and knowledge. We don't think we'll be purchasing another home (we love our home too much), but we have handed out business cards for her to several friends and take every opportunity to praise her.
