What do Clients Say?

My situation was that I had a really nice home that I had been trying to sell for over a year and I thought I knew what I was doing but after 4 failed contracts, and 3 real estate agents later, I was forced to stop everything, take the house off the market, and re-evaluate things. I needed an experienced and qualified agent to use a reliable process with the best resources and find the most qualified buyers. After a month of interviewing the top agent picks, my partner and I were very impressed with the detailed marketing plan Tina Hannaford (Berkshire Hathaway) presented to us. It was clear what she intended to do and the buyer profile she was going to target. Times were very stressful financially for me and my partner, as we had planned to have the home sold a long time ago. Hiring Tina was the right choice because she understood we had no time to waste. We were selling the house to finance building a new home, and already had commitments financially. So we expressed that selling quickly is important to us. She wasted no time and was showing the property to people before we even put it back on the market. She kept true to the plan that she presented, and it was classy and professional all the way. She even hosted a wine and cheese open house. That effort and efficiency led to a quick offer, and before we knew it, we were in contract and with a fair price too. Tina was amazing, the way she knew the market, and knew where to look for the right buyer. She came in to sell a home with a checkered past, and did it in less than 30 days. I had spent more than 365 days trying to do it with other agents before her. I wish I had met her sooner. I could have saved a lot of stress. I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with Tina. She will take charge of the situation and manage it the right way in order to get things done. I am giving her the highest score of stars and then some more. She really saved us, and now we are moving on to bigger and better things. Thank you so much, Tina!

I would recommend Tina Hannaford for a realtor to anyone who wants someone to step in and walk side by side through the selling of their home. We have had that type of experience and found it helpful to have Tina by our side.

Tina Hannaford is the best! I highly recommend her for your real estate needs in Arizona. Thank you, Tina, for all the extra you put forth to help us … especially since we were long distance. You truly treated the home as your own since we could not be there. We are forever your friends.

I have bought and sold many homes and used many Real Estate Agents. I’ve also transacted a home purchase without the use of agents. Never before have I worked with an agent who invested as much time, resources and creativity into transacting the sale of a home as I have with Tina.

Seller, Andy and Jill Leebrick

I can honestly say that she is the best agent that I have ever used for so many reasons. First, Tina is responsive and always answers her phone right away. A lot of times I had to text her as I was at work and she was willing and able to respond quickly and in kind. When she came over to list my home, she said that she would take ownership and that’s exactly what she did. She helped me clean before listing the house, arranged for a photographer and drone footage, and she was there during it all to ensure it went smoothly. Also, Tina’s marketing is beyond anything I have ever seen. She goes above and beyond the typical social media auto-blasts and issues personal statements to market the property as well as documenting each milestone event in the process. She is a marketing genius! But the real kicker is that I had the home previous listed with another agent and it sat on the market for 67 days! I decided to take it off the market and take a break for a couple of weeks. I hired Tina and she had my home under contract within 48 hours and $5,000 over the asking price! I was happy and relieved! Tina is a true professional. You can tell that she thoroughly enjoys her job and she does everything in her power to make sure that everything is just right and leaves nothing to chance. Also, her negotiating skills were incredible. All I can say is that if you’re thinking about making a move, call Tina and at least give her a chance to show you how she can get your home sold! She’s really a great person!
