"Chris is simply the best realtor I have ever worked with. He is a consummate professional, bringing almost 2 decades of experience and market knowledge to the table. I started working with Chris in January 2021 on my search for a home for my daughters and me in Lake Oswego. To say it is a tough buyers market is an understatement, but Chris expertly guided me through my house hunt and went above and beyond to meet me at properties on a moment's notice and advised me regularly on our strategy for making the best offer possible. At the same time, he truly had my best interest at heart and gently guided me away from making a couple of offers that I was gung ho to make on homes that would not have been a good investment, given how much work was needed on them (thanks for helping me dodge those bullets Chris!). In this current sellers market, it is easy to get caught up in the "froth" and be overzealous (even desperate!) to buy a home with record-low interest rates. Chris just encouraged me to be patient and helped me put it into perspective.
In addition, Chris is a smart, hard-working, standup guy who I trust implicitly. There were many examples of him having my back and going to bat for me in my house hunt. His honesty and integrity are all too rare in the real estate industry and I can't think of anyone who exemplifies the top of service standards more than he does. He's also a pleasure to work with and made this house hunt a positive experience, even when my initial offers weren't accepted. I'll never forget the open house we went to where there was a 20 minute line out the door in the drizzling rain to get inside for a look. As we stood in the driveway getting to know eachother better, I thought to myself, "This is a guy who is willing to stand in the rain to see this house with me - he's got my back."
Fast-forward 3 months, and I am now typing this review up from my dream home that checks all my boxes, and then some. I am certain that without Chris' experience and negotiating skills, I wouldn't have been able to close on this amazing home 3 weeks after my offer was accepted. I am eternally grateful to Chris and his team at Hasson for hitting it out of the park for me and I will miss working with him. He has my highest recommendation!"

"I cannot express how highly I recommend Chris Grubbs. We pretty much asked Chris to do the impossible. We tasked him to find us our dream home in Lake Oswego during a pandemic. To further complicate matters, we were not familiar with Lake Oswego and needed to do everything remotely from CA.
Chris has an incredible depth of knowledge and love of this area. He took the home requirements we were looking for to a different level. He made it his mission to not only find us the perfect house on paper, but to find us a home in a neighborhood that provided both tangible and intangible attributes that we had never thought about. Chris was incredibly thorough in outlining the pluses and minuses of every house we looked at. He would send me bulleted emails on each home with map details. This information was invaluable in understanding the different areas of Lake Oswego and the nuances of different streets and homes. Buying a home remotely would have been terrifying without the trust Chris created with his patience, knowledge, and genuine desire to find us our dream home."
