Andrea Dufresne

Dear Lynae, (President of Hasson Company Realtors) Recently my husband Ben and I had the opportunity to purchase a home with the help of Andrea Dufresne. We are reaching out as we wanted you to know what a wonderful experience it was. To begin, Andrea worked with us for over 4 years while we looked for just the right place. She was patient, never pushy and always on the lookout for us during that time. When our now house came on the market, she spotted it right away and let us know, which was critical as it sold in just a few days. During the negotiation and inspection stages it was amazing to have her on our side as her knowledge and resources were top notch. For Andrea, it was more important that we were going to be happy, with a great house, than simply pushing through the sale. End to end it was fantastic, and we would not hesitate recommending her to anyone.

— Emily & Ben

Dear Andrea, Thank you so much for your consummate attention and leadership in the sale of my home. Wishing you the best for the new year!

— Paul

Dear Andrea, Thank you for all that you did to get us into our new home. While we are still setting up, our home is shaping up nicely and we want you to see what we have done and hope this will happen before too long. Again, we cannot say enough about how much we appreciated everything and we truly enjoyed all of the time we spent with you as well.

— Lars & Brian

I was very lucky to have Andrea throughout this process. Her expertise combined with her willingness to go the extra mile at every turn made all of the difference. I will always be grateful for her kindness, sense of humor through all of the twists and turns and her unfiltered opinion. At one point she actually came to the house while I was still living in NYC to help collect measurements. Only someone truly dedicated would do so such a thing. It was only fitting that she be the one to help me take off the "sale pending" sticker.

My husband, Greg, and I had an absolutely great experience with Andrea and the Hasson Company. Andrea was professional and extremely competent. I was a Realtor in San Francisco for 12 years and worked with some great agents. Andrea was as good, if not better, than some of the best people I've worked with. She gave us advice and guidance throughout the process. When we found a FSBO and decided we wanted to put in an offer, she didn't blink. When the sellers were difficult and not informative about the condition of the home, she worked with them in a diplomatic way and made sure we had all the inspections we needed to understand the state of the house. She was communicative, easy to get a hold of when we had questions and had a great sense of humor throughout the transaction. I don't think we could have purchased this home without her. We would recommend her without hesitation. Thank you!

I just wanted to take a second to say thank you for all your help. I don't have tons of experience with realtors, but from the decent about of experience I have, you are the most caring and client focused realtor I've had the pleasure of working with. I really appreciate your hard work.

— Owyn

Shane and I wanted to thank you for everything you have done for us. You made the process of buying a house go so smoothly.

— Michele

What a great experience it has been buying and selling a house with you. Thank you for being constantly available and responsive every time we needed you. We are grateful for your diligence in checking every detail throughout the process making sure nothing was missed and everything was addressed. We felt we were in good hands. You are the best realtor Luke and I have ever worked with and we will definitely recommend you. It was truly a pleasure working with you.

— Jeannie

Last spring, my husband Craig and I decided it was time to reprioritze and downsize. Our first choice as a realtor was Andrea Dufresne. We have known Andrea for quite a few years now on a professional level. We had the challenge of selling our wonderful home here in West Linn and finding a suitable "replacement" home in West Linn as well. Andrea walked right beside us the whole way. She gave us excellent feedback on what was needed to get the home on the market, was available for meetings and questions as they came up. Our home sold one day before listing AND we found a new home that same week. Escrow plugged along smoothly on both properties, thanks to the attention and skill of Andrea. I would recommend Andrea to anyone who is interested in working with a realtor with integrity, compassion, and a great sense of humor. We count ourselves lucky to know her, both professionally, and now personally.

Dear Andrea: thank you immensely for selling our house for a price we consider good, and in a timeframe we totally appreciate. I want to share a few revelations in hopes it would help you persuade current/future clients that staging really matters, and listening to your counsel truly pays off. As you recall, we have been out of the housing market for 27 years. So, when we listed with you--during the current real estate challenges--we lacked context for what it takes to win in a competitive selling environment. When you and your professional stager, Mary Jane, suggested how we make our home more appealing to prospective buyers, we silently recoiled. It seemed as though our taste and decorative style were being affronted. One day we "woke up," followed virtually every item on Mary Jane's "how to improve your home's salability" list, and suddenly understood what you were trying to convey. Namely, that one has to lean out a house and de-personalize ("edit") it in order for prospective buyers to quickly and easily envision their living in our home. It took a "crossing the chasm" in our thinking and emotion to get to this point. Now that we have, and you have sold our home above its list price, and in an extremely short time, we are thrilled. And we also would gladly talk to any of your clients. Our message? Simply, Listen when they say: "Stage, lean out, and keep the house immaculate; it all pays off!" So, please feel welcome to share this letter with any you perceive would benefit from the wisdom and professional insight you provided for us...when we needed both badly. Very appreciatively (and fondly),

— Peter Loeb and Laura Lanka

And a big thank you Andrea. You were really a life saver. We would have likely lost a lot of money if you were not the voice of reason and sanity in this situation. It was a difficult one, but we managed to get through....maybe a few extra grey hairs aside. You did a great job! Jennifer & Pete

Thanks again for all your help. You were great to work with (when we bought and when we sold). If anyone is looking in Portland I'll be sure to send them your way. If you ever make it over to Bend, give us a call! Cheers,

I love our realtor, Andrea Dufresne at the Hasson Company - Broadway Street/Irvington office. She's very professional, very thorough, super sweet, knows Portland like the back of her hand, has great thoughts on homes, areas in the city, schools, etc. . . I could go on and on. We just closed on our house in NE and we move in next week. We relocated to PDX from Pennsylvania & I honestly don't know what I would have done without Andrea.
