What do Clients Say?

"We had an outstanding experience working with Wade Hanson to sell our home. From day one, his professionalism, market knowledge, and strategic approach were evident. He positioned our luxury property perfectly, marketed it with precision, and delivered results"

“Wade is by far the best Realtor I have ever worked with. I have had numerous agents in the past that have ended up with me being frustrated, disappointed, and back at the starting block. The experience with Wade was nothing but a pleasure. I have nothing but high praises for Wade. Since we have gone through this process I have recommended Wade to many family, friends and colleagues who are in the process of looking for a home. With as many Realtors as there are out there it is great to find one that is hardworking, dedicated, and most important a good person. I have nothing but great respect for Wade and would give him my highest recommendation.”

“We recently had the opportunity to engage Wade Hanson as our Broker to assist us in selling a unique property. We expected it to take several months to sell the house but Wade was able to find a buyer in just a few weeks. Wade not only expedited the sale of our house but he did so with great professionalism and integrity. We would definitely use Wade again, and would highly recommend him the next time you need to sell your house.”

"Wade is the epitome of a person one would want to sell your precious home for you. He is cutting edge on ethics, reliability, encouragement, honesty, resourceful--all of which were reality in our adventure these past weeks. His knowledge of the industry is immense and I would like to tell the whole Twin Cities to look him up to represent whoever in selling a home. We have sold a home four times in our married life. This is by far the most professional".

"We have bought and sold 6 homes and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND Wade Hanson. We selected him from 3 others who know our neighborhood well. We just felt putting our sale process in his hands was going to net the best result. We went from meeting him, signing him as our listing agent to closing in 90 days. He is very professional and a good communicator. He knew what it would take to sell our upper $600k home in this market. He asked us to invest to improve how our home would show and we trusted his judgement. He brings a complete, high quality team incl. "stager", interior photographer, aerial photographer, interior and exterior tradesmen. Our house was staged very well. His printed and web materials were noticeably better than other homes being marketed. The pre-sale preparations & marketing plan got us many "showings" and ultimately a good sale price. . An important trait is that he comes fully prepared to every meeting/phone call. He is thinking ahead. As a result, we were always taking 2,3 or 4 steps forward rather than inching through the process. He is, by far, the best agent we have encountered in 12 transactions. Would definitely use him again"

About Wade

For 27 years, clients have trusted me with their biggest real estate decisions because I deliver what others promise—precision, discretion, and results that redefine the standard. I have the highest average sale price in my market and have closed over one billion in career sales. I earn those numbers, not with noise, but with strategy. I don’t guess.  I don’t hope.  I execute.

Exceptional properties require exceptional representation. As a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, I focus on what truly moves high-end buyers—precision storytelling, strategic placement, and zero wasted motion. In luxury real estate, skill isn’t a talking point. It’s the difference between selling and settling. Luxury buyers don’t respond to luck. They respond to clarity—no fluff, no wasted motion, no guesswork.  I built my reputation by leading the market, not following it. When the market shifts, I shift faster.

I partnered with Sotheby’s International Realty for one reason: to match my level of service with a brand built for the exceptional. The global reach, the prestige, the alignment—it elevates everything I already do. My role is simple: protect your interests, outmaneuver the market, and deliver a result that feels inevitable.

If you want a safe choice, there are plenty.

If you want a strategic weapon, I’m here.

If you value bold strategy over guesswork, let’s talk.
