Testimonials

Dear Nancy,

I wanted to pause to take the time to express our thanks for the professional and exemplatory manner in which you handled our recent house sale and condominium purchase. You made it all very simple for us by personally taking care of the details associated with the purchase.

Even though you were not very familiar with the area where we owned our house, you were able to bring eligible buyers to the house immediately, and in fact, when the first sale fell out of escrow, you had another buyer on board in just a few days. Your resolution to keep me on the straight and narrow path, thus preventing me from screwing it up, was a remarkable accomplishment. I can be difficult at times.

I was recently on the sidelines during a transaction very similar to ours in which one agent just didnt perform and the other made life a living hell for the seller. This experience served to drive home the completeness of your services.

Please do not hesitate to use this letter as a recommendation, should you desire.

Dear Nancy,

Recently my husband and I decided to put our home on the market. Having not bought or sold a home in quite some time, we were apprehensive of all it would entail. When we met with you, you were kind, informative and honest, explaining the process; what to expect; marketing conditions, etc. You then backed off and allowed us to think about our decision and be comfortable with it.

When we did decide to go ahead and list our home, you came over, walked us through the paperwork and ensured there would be no surprises. You were kind, efficient, and extremely helpful. We were, and are, very impressed with our professionalism, your efficiency and organizational skills in seeing to every detail that made selling our home a pleasant experience.

Our only surprise was you did such an excellent job of marketing our home that we had an offer on the seventh day that everyone was pleased with. You very efficiently took us through the escrow process and all went well. We tell all our friends that when they are ready to sell "think Nancy Hankins, she is really good".

We are very grateful for having such an excellent Realtor working with us and along the way the friendship that has grown from the experience. You are one terrific lady, Nancy, and a great Realtor.

Thank you for everything.

There is nothing I would like more than a testimonial praising Nancy Hankin as to her professional knowledge and acumen in the real estate field. Alas, this knowledge goes unchallenged so there is no need to state the obvious.

Dear Nancy,

Over a year ago, we put our 4200 square foot home in Santa Fe, New Mexico on the market.. Although it was exquisite in architectural detail, it was too large for my husband and myself as we fossilized into late senior citizenship. As soon as the house went on the market, I knew it would only be a matter of weeks before this wondrous home would sell. We really had no idea where we would go. Perhaps to a smaller home in Santa Fe or perhaps to the California Desert where we'd spent several winters in the past. Two of our children and their spouses lived in Northern California, a mere one hour and ten minutes away by plane. I spent hours on the internet while waiting for our soon-to-be happy buyer. Browsing Realtor.com I found a lovely home, in our price range, being represented by Nancy Hankin. I e-mailed her for more information. I found other homes and other Realtors who quickly lost interest in me as the sale of our home dragged on. Not Nancy, She became my loyal pen pal. I sighed as each home I selected was bought by a buyer actually ready to move.

Nancy sent suggestions as to what I might do to speed up our selling process. She thought we might put in an actual front door as the main door of our home opened into the kitchen, Granted the door was a handsome arched, carved wooden door and was on a huge deck overlooking the Sangre Cristo Mountains in the front and the entire city of Santa Fe to the right of the deck. At night one could practically touch the stars. The kitchen was a showplace, each appliance enfolded in arches and soffits with huge pots and other Southwestern items. Anyway, her best suggestion was to finally change Realtors ( my realtor was my dear friend) and drop the price. I did this, with great trepidation over losing my friend. I didn't. The house sold in one week

-Judith Klausner, now of Rancho Mirage

Dear Nancy,

I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your help in finding a suitable winter residence for me. Although I have visited the Palm Springs area several times in recent years, I had no in-depth knowledge concerning the various individual communities, and the advantages and disadvantages of living in different locales within the Coachella Valley. This knowledge, along with information you were able to provide concerning the various golf course amenities, was invaluable to me in making a decision as to where to ultimately acquire a condominium.

I also appreciated the efficient manner in which you were able to arrange our visits to homes so that my trips to Palm Springs were an effective use of my time. As we finished the process, your advice was invaluable as to the amount of the offer and how best to close the transaction in an efficient manner. All in all it was a pleasant and, thus far, rewarding experience. It was a pleasure working with you.

-Nick Gray

Dear Nancy,

Your continued hustling, dealing with potential buyer's banks, escrow companies, our estate lawyer, etc., were the reasons our home sale went smoothly and to our satisfaction. It was nothing short of a miracle that one month after our listing, you sold our house for cash with a 10-day escrow. Again, thanks for being one step above the others in your professional field.

-Kelly E. Kent

Dear Nancy,

I want to commend you for the professional manner in which you handled my purchase which was a part of a 1031 tax deferred exchange. Because of my 34 years in the real estate business I was certainly able to recognize an agent who really went all out for the benefit of the client.

-Sol Levin
G.R.I. Realtor

Dear Nancy,

Thank you so much for all that you have done for me. You are the BEST agent I have ever worked with. I now know why you are sooo successful. You have the ethnics of what all real estate agents should have and thats integrity. You are by far the hardest working, thoughtful and enjoyable agent I have ever been in contact with. You should teach a class on "How to be a successful Realtor". You certainly wrote the book!

Thanks again for EVERYTHING!

-Janice Miletich

Memo from John Wheaton:

The things that impressed me most about Nancy were two-fold.

First she had an outstanding team. Her escrow officer was the best I have ever worked with. She was relaxed, professional, and had our interests at heart. Nancy also had a team of tradesmen, cleaning people etc. who were top-notch, responsive and reasonable in price. It was easy to get things done with this team.

Secondly Nancy herself stayed on top of the situation. She kept us informed regularly on the status of the escrow and aggressively protected our interests when that was necessary.

We have bought and sold many houses over the years. I can easily state that the transaction with Nancy was the best handled of all of these transactions.

-John Wheaton

A Memo from Pete and Luanne Landani:

My wife Luanne and I had the great fortune to be represented by Nancy Harkin of REMAX in a recent condominium purchase in Palm Desert. Nancy was, in our opinion, the model agent. She responded to Luanne's internet inquiry immediately and effectively. She followed up on every detail with us until she understood our desires and expectations, showing exactly the grouping of properties that would interest us. Her patience and advice were impeccable during the selection of our property and offer development. She then skillfully guided the transaction through the counter offer and ultimate acceptance process. Thanks to Nancy's efforts, the escrow was effortless and we closed ahead of schedule.

As a result of our experience, we consider Nancy to be the complete real estate professional and have will continue to recommended her to our friends, family and acquaintances. Moreover her warm and friendly personality and attitude has endeared her to us on a personal level and she will always be our "Agent of Choice" for any and all of our future real estate needs.

-Pete and Luanne Landini

Memo from Joe & Mary Cummins:

Nancy, you are the best. Joe and I have to thank you for all your professionalism and hard work you did for us to by our home in La Quinta. Your advice prior to buying our home narrowed down our search and we were able to look at the areas and homes that we had chosen.

We are still settling in and know that if we need anything we are free to call on you. You continue to work with your clients even after the close of escrow.

REMAX has a gem of a consultant in NANCY HANKIN, a real professional.
