Lauren Hasson

My husband and I recently used Lauren to help us buy a home. We were moving from out of state and not sure about a lot of things, neighborhoods, pricing, or exactly what we wanted. Lauren not only took the time to walk us through this process, she was an absolute gem. She was engaged in every aspect of our move and helped in so many ways to guide us through every aspect of the purchase and move. Lauren is the consummate professional, an expert in her field, a tough negotiator, AND a really great person! While we hope to not move again any time soon, if we do, we would definitely use Lauren, and tell all of our friends and family as well! She's the best!

— Laura and Bruce Rubin

I could not have imagined working with a better team than Lauren & Leslie. Lauren's positive attitude, genuine understanding of the market, and passion for real estate made it a joy working with her. She provided extremely useful advice throughout the sales & buying process and did a phenomenal job negotiating with the buyers of my prior home and the seller of my new home. She is a true people person and I cannot express how pleasant it was working with her. Leslie is an incredible assistant to Lauren and made the process so much easier. She is on top of everything, so willing to help and truly adds so much to the team. Lauren & Leslie come with my highest recommendation and I truly appreciate both of them for helping us find our next home!

— Brian Dooney, Broker at Leonard Adams Insurance

Lauren and Leslie helped me buy and sell my first condo as well as recently purchase a townhouse. They have been nothing short of fantastic in all three transactions. In addition to being incredibly knowledgeable, they are some of the most responsive and caring people to work with. They make a complicated process simple and take the anxiety out of buying and selling homes. I highly recommend them to anyone that needs a great brokerage team to help them with their real estate needs.

— Max Schlesinger, Broker at Apex Real Estate Partners

Lauren and Leslie were efficient, knowledgeable and lovely to work with! Highly recommend if you are looking for a competent and fun team! I ended up putting an offer in on a place while I was out of town and Lauren did a walk through for me and gave me an honest opinion and summary of the place. It worked out perfectly, closed quickly and under asking.

— Lisa Blakley, Head of Operations AB Skincare

Lauren & Leslie were absolutely amazing, especially during these trying times in COVID. Our search began last year after our daughter and son in law were married and living in Portland and we knew we wanted to be near them and our future grandchildren. We are a boating family and wanted a home on the Willamette River, which can be a little harder to find. We looked at a few homes but didn't find anything that fit and since we were in no hurry, we thought we would see what came up in the spring. Then COVID hit which threw a spin on it all. However, Lauren and Leslie were still on it by finding homes that were going to be coming on the market. Even though none of the Coming Soon homes were quite what we were looking for, a home in Aurora came on the market we couldn't pass up. So off we went by plane during COVID, with our sanitizing kit and masks because we knew any home on the river would not last. All we had to do was walk out the back of the house and look at the view of the river and we were sold. We flew home back to CA with an offer submitted and by that evening after some negotiating we had an accepted offer. All was going well until a few inspection items came up that could have been costly in the future and we thought we might not move forward with the purchase. Lauren & Leslie left no stone unturned to get all the information for us, from contacting the county, inspectors etc.... It was a good week of stress but with their information it all worked out and we were able to move forward. Thank you Leslie for picking us up at our hotel and being our ride back to that airport. We just love being on the water and our home in Aurora. We have an amazing neighborhood community and look forward to many years in our new home. Thank you Hasson Team.

— Laurie and David Nadelman

We just completed our THIRD real estate transaction with Lauren and Leslie. We would rate all of them 5 stars. They have been an incredible team from start to finish. Lauren is extremely knowledgable about the market, trends and valuations. She knew every comparable home on the market and helped us set an aggressive selling price. Lauren's top strength is negotiation. She is firm, steadfast with her position and put our needs well ahead of just trying to get a deal closed quickly. We had 100% confidence with her representing us to get the deal we wanted. We were concerned that we wouldn't get that in a Pandemic, but Lauren was patient and helped steer us to a great close with a price we were very happy with. Lauren and Leslie managed every detail of the transaction and inspired confidence and shielded us from many details. We would not even consider using anyone else and give them our highest recommendation.

— Dan Schoenbaum, President & COO, RiskIQ

There is a reason Lauren and Leslie get 5 star reviews. They are just that good. It was a pleasure to work with them because of their substantial competence, confidence. They are also fun to work with so the home buying and selling experience for us was as smooth as one could hope for.

— Dave and Cindy Anderson

I've worked with Lauren multiple times and there's good reason for it! I trust her completely and highly recommend her (and her awesome assistant Leslie) to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy and well connected realtor. I feel confident she has her clients best interest at heart and has proven multiple times that she can be relied on to get you the best deal as either a buyer or seller. Her negotiating skills and local market knowledge got us the best deal both on sales and purchases.

— Alan and Katie Cox

My husband and I worked with Lauren and Leslie on the purchase of our first home. Their knowledge of the market and expertise was unparalleled, and they went above and beyond every step of the way-- from touring homes with us for over two years, educating us as first-time home buyers, providing honest feedback, and negotiating a great deal for us in the end! We were fortunate enough to take our time in finding and purchasing a home, and really got to know Lauren and Leslie well. They are just incredible at what they do, and so fun to be around. Along the way, I had multiple people recommend Lauren (not knowing she was already representing us). From what I've learned and experienced first-hand, Lauren and Leslie are the best of the best in this market. We're so happy to have worked with them and can't wait to work with them in the future!

— Olivia and Adam Kowalski

I am pleased to write this review from our dreamy new home. Buying and selling with Lauren and Leslie was the best decision my husband and I could have made. They were thorough, patient in our search, and really advocated for us on both ends of the process.

— Julie and Steven Kasprzyk

We honestly don’t even have the right words to explain how fantastic Lauren was. She MOVED mountains to get our condo sold, and this wonderful new home for the right price!!! Lauren and Leslie are personable, fun, energetic and honest. Every time we had question or concern, we'd have an answer with in minutes!!!! We are so happy with this team of ladies and the Hasson Company too!

— Darcy and Gary Harding, Executive Benefits Consultant with The Todd Organization

I had an amazing experience working with Lauren and Leslie to purchase my first home. They are both extremely competent and pro-active in the real estate search and buying process, and also just fun to work with! They helped me narrow down exactly what I was looking for, and we found something that literally checked every box I had. 100% would recommend working with them. 5 Stars. A+.

— Nik Torkelson, V.P. Finance and Marketing at Matisse Capital

I honestly don’t even have the right words for how amazing Lauren was. She was so personable from our first initial phone call through the close of the sale. She paid close attention and took detailed notes on what we were looking for. She planned an entire weekend based on our wants and needs. When we met up, she came with organized note books with all of our showings and instructed us to take notes on likes and dislikes. Being so new to the area, it was great to have a Lake Oswego expert guide us in the right direction. She spent her entire day driving us through different neighborhoods, showing us downtown, grocery stores, lake easements and swim parks. Everything was so organized and EASY. Each house we saw met majority of our criteria. By the end of the home tours, we knew we found “the one”. She was super flexible with our communication style, and we were able to accomplish a ton between group texts and emails- everything was so quick and seamless. I knew that I could contact her at any point and get a response within minutes. Lauren connected us with a great team, negotiated an amazing price and was able to close super fast- I’m talking about 2 weeks! I honestly can’t thank her enough for the amazing experience. As lucky as we are to have our dream home, we feel even luckier that we were able to work with such a great team!

— Nicole Kahnamelli, Assistant Product Merchandiser at Nordstrom

Lauren and Leslie are an unstoppable team! Our family was all over the Portland area map with our home search in addition to being fickle about what we were looking for in a home. Lauren truly listened to what it is that our family wanted and had a vision for what our dream home would be and wow did she deliver! Not only did she find us the perfect home but she was able to negotiate an amazing deal for us even when I thought we had the short end of the stick with the sellers. Her knowledge of the area, market and other agent gave us the advantage and we ended up in a great position when all was said and done. She is attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. Even on the weekend or holidays, you are able to reach Lauren and her team. I would absolutely recommend Lauren to friends and family looking to move to the Portland area. If you are looking for a savvy Realtor that puts her clients first, Lauren is your woman!!!

— Cortny James, Senior Business Consultant at Meritain Health

We are repeat customers! Lauren and Leslie have helped us through two home purchases in Lake Oswego. Even though we were already Lake Oswego residents and homeowners who knew the neighborhood and the home-buying process, we benefitted greatly from their expertise and knowledge of listed and unlisted properties as well as their dedication, creativity, business savvy, and passion for what they do. The fact they are personable and a pleasure to work with was just an excellent bonus!

— Tricia Greenberg Schoenbaum and Dan Schoenbaum, Owner of SchoenbaumLaw and President & COO, RiskIQ Respectively

As first time home buyers, we felt Lauren was the perfect fit for us because she brought a deep understanding of the history of the real estate industry while having a fresh knowledge of the changing landscape of the Portland market. We always looked forward to meeting with Lauren and Leslie, which is saying a lot considering how emotionally tough some of the home hunting process was for us. They were incredibly patient during our year long search and we never felt like we were bothering them or pressured to write an offer. They also had a keen way of reading our style and helping navigate us to a type of house that totally fit our aesthetic!

— Katie and Ben Sellon, Owners of Half Court Studio

Lauren was everything I could have hoped for in a first home-buying experience. She was thoughtful, methodical, caring and enthusiastic. It made the entire process both comfortable and fun. She was incredibly knowledgeable and personable so I never had issue asking questions or trying to understand the process. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone in the market for a new home. She's the complete package and an absolute pleasure to work with!

— Max Schlesinger, Star Park

Lauren is sharp, professional, knows the marketplace and is a fantastic representative, whether buying or selling. We purchased our “dream” home through her in October of 2015, and were dealing with a difficult seller. Lauren’s business acumen, knowledge and market experience came through and we obtained our price. She then sold our condo in six weeks! Four years prior, she sold our home in one day! And we got our asking price. Very pleasant businessperson to deal with and tells it like it is. Would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. Hasson Company Realtors and Lauren in particular, have our highest possible rating.

— Kelly & Regina Atwood, Retired Senior Account Executive at Oak Tree Insurance, Inc.

We came to Lauren Hasson after two unsuccessful attempts at finding agents that would invest themselves into into our home search as much as we were looking to invest ourselves. When we met Lauren and her team for the first time, we were a family of four (with another one on the way) that had sold our home quickly and struggled to find a new home in a very competitive housing market. After our first meeting, I knew we were in the best hands we could be. She took extensive notes, asked us a lot of questions, and never once conveyed that our high expectations were unrealistic. She hit the ground running, wrote personal letters to potential listers, knocked on doors, and drove around neighborhoods. She even took videos of homes when one of us couldn't be at a showing. She was always available to talk by phone, respond to emails, and answer texts right away. Overall, what really spoke to her integrity was when she told us what was not right for us. There were times we wanted to succumb to the disparity of our situation and make concessions she knew we would regret. It was worth the wait! In the end, we not only landed in the neighborhood we originally wanted, we found a near impossible one level living floor plan we gave up on months before. She works fast, is a fierce negotiator, and incredibly intuitive. Even after closing, she has been an invaluable resource to us. We will always be appreciative!

— Katie and Alan Cox

Working with Lauren and Leslie was an absolutely wonderful experience. We have four kids, six and under, and we chose to sell our current home and buy a new house at the same time. Amazingly, due to Lauren and Leslie's talent and knowledge as a real estate team, this experience was fun, rewarding, and about as stress free as could be. They took the time to get to know our crazy family and our particular quirks and interests. When looking for homes, it wasn't uncommon that they were holding our baby as well as chatting about bedrooms with our older children. They made the process fun and relaxed, and we greatly benefited from their perfectly personalized advice.

— Cindy and Dave Anderson

From our first meeting to closing the purchase of my new home, she was thorough, responsive, a great listener, knowledgeable about the houses and areas we looked, and efficient with the process. She impressed me with her “get on it” approach. In fact, she made calls on my behalf to my lender to ensure they were in step with our process and timing which I was not aware at the time, the lady has moxie! Besides her impressive knowledge and ability, she is charming, fun and very pleasant to work with. Together we found a house and completed the deal in less than 30 days. And I have to include praise for Leslie her assistant who I found to be helpful and efficient, responsive with questions and requests for help, and so pleasant - they are a great team.

— Suzeanne Mager, Owner & Operator of Guten Foods, Inc.

As my husband and I reflect on our two-year real estate journey in the Portland area, we realize how fortunate we were to have Lauren Hasson and her assistant, Leslie Mason, help us along the way. They took the time to get to know us and, as busy as they were, they always made us feel like we were their most important priority. We couldn't have asked for a better team with the knowledge and tenacity to make things happen in both buying our new house and selling our condo.

— Beeber and Bill Clevenger

Lauren Hasson was the best agent I've ever had the pleasure to work with. I had a double transaction and both were quick and painless. If I had any questions or concerns Lauren was willing to do what it took to find the answers and make me feel comfortable. If you are selling your property or searching for you dream home, I highly recommend Lauren for your real estate needs.

— Helen Cain

We were concerned that the current, crazy real estate market would force us to compromise on choosing a new place to live. Lauren was relentless in helping us find the right place. With her patience and guidance, we scoured every corner of Portland and the surrounding area until we found the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood.

— Huntley McNabb and Jenn Duugan

I was impressed from the very beginning. Lauren came in looked around then went to work on an analysis of the neighborhood to determine housing costs. She presented the data in a very organized matter. Then to save her time she paid to have the inspection done before we listed. Very strategic on her behalf! We had a lot of work to get the house ready, both Lauren and Leslie coached us and gave us names and numbers of tradesmen to handle specifics. They patiently waited for us to get the house ready and it sold and closed at an alarming rate, giving us the amount we asked for plus a little more! I don’t think we could have had a better experience. Thank you Lauren and Leslie! You are the best!

— Sharon and Leon Drennan

After working with multiple realtors in different transactions over the last few years, we decided to work with Lauren when it came time to sell our home and buy a new one. We were amazed at the difference! Her level of professionalism and expertise, from her in-depth market analysis to the hands-on way of dealing with every issue that arose was impressive. As a busy family with 3 small children, it was so helpful to have Lauren and team working on our side, anticipating the next step and helping us through the process. We would recommend Lauren to anyone, and will definitely use her and her team for any future real estate needs we may have!

— Ben and Marki James, President and founder of Elevate Wealth Advisors

We first started working with Lauren Hasson in the fall of 2014. Our transaction was a complicated one that took nine months to complete. The home had been taken off the market; our seller didn’t have legal title and the market heated up wildly during our wait for probate to finish. Lauren used that time effectively by establishing a positive trusting relationship with the seller. She educated him on the facts of his home in todays’ market and delicately informed him of our interest in the property. Her patience and perseverance paid off. Once out of probate, she skillfully managed our transaction through offer, acceptance and closing. We have bought and sold many homes. None have been as easy as this transaction because of Lauren’s efforts. We didn’t have to worry about the details because she and her wonderful assistant Leslie Mason were “all over them”. The clarity and confidence she exhibited during our transaction was first rate. Not only did we gain a trusted real estate advisor during this time together, we also had so much fun in the process! On a personal note, it’s hard for me to describe just exactly how wonderful and fun Lauren & Leslie were to work with. They “got us” and we “got them” from the very first meeting. We consider Lauren and Leslie part of our family now and look forward to spending much more time with them in the future. We recommend them unconditionally!

— Jim and Rhonda Lukich, Retired National Sales Manager at Columbia Sportswear and Property Manager

Wow, what a great experience...from the moment we scheduled our initial appointment, to listing my property, through the entire marketing and sales process...Lauren nailed it. Professional, on time and prepared with the knowledge and experience to answer my questions and address any concerns. I have had several real estate transactions in the Portland metro area and have often felt most agents say the same things and offer the same tools and ideas going into the relationship, but then don’t often follow through and things can become unpleasant. Not with this team. I have a busy schedule with my job in marketing and often don’t have time for every little detail. I never had to worry though, because this team takes care of everything. Example: Due to litigation issues in my condo building, the closing was very complex and involved several banks, attorneys etc. and then following the inspection I needed to replace a special door handle in order to close the transaction; All of which was happening while I was out of the country. Lauren and Leslie hounded the lawyers and HOA until they got the information they needed, worked with the banks until they found a lender who could get the deal done, researched/ordered the door handle from Canada and had it installed, and kept me informed the entire time. Wow. Will I use them again...YES.

— Kim Ziebell, Former Sr. Vice President of Marketing, Lund International

Lauren is hands down the best realtor in the business. On top of knowing the business and deep diving into our specific marketplace she made us feel special and educated us along the way. The entire process from selling to buying is very complex, yet she took the time to ensure we were in the know and knowledgeable. She is very responsive and open to any and all questions. Her pricing strategy was spot on and her attention to detail in offer letters was above and beyond what was expected. Even in areas she was not well versed in such as taxes, she passed us along to an expert who made the process very easy. From the offer on our first home, the sale of that home and the purchase of our second Lauren made the time to be at every appointment. We can only imagine how hectic her schedule really is, but her assistant Leslie was the icing on the cake to a perfect partnership. The duo is on top of every detail and made the process flawless. We have the housing gods on our side because of Lauren and for that we will be clients for life!!

— Ariel and Hilary Gregerson, NIKE

Lauren sold us with her superior market analysis of our home and was much more thorough than other’s we interviewed. The photography, home brochure, pre-home inspection, and other marketing tools were stellar. She knew it was important to do things right from the very beginning. Lauren was always a top notch professional with a personal touch and warmth and we loved working with her. A wonderfully efficient and professional team, I would highly recommend Lauren and Leslie to represent any of your real estate needs.

— Kim DeMent Smith, Kim DeMent and Steve Smith, Founder and Director of Marketing of Steven Smith Teamaker

My wife and I worked with Lauren representing us in selling a home we had owned and lived in for 24 years. It was a challenge due to the size and location and very strange market conditions in the immediate neighborhood. It took nearly two years, but we found a buyer, and depended on Lauren for the price negotiations and the closing agreements and title transfers and all went like clockwork! Lauren helped find us a smaller place that exactly suits our current and future needs. We have been here about one year, and could not be happier. Throughout our relationship with Lauren, she has been diligent, professional, eager to help or advise, and accessible to us in ways that demonstrated her genuine desire to serve our needs. She is a blessing to work with!

— Tom & Ruthann Moore, Retired

“Lauren Hasson helped me sell a home after two other agents had it listed for six months each. Lauren immediately worked to stage the home and advertise it in ways that hadn’t been done previously, and it sold for more than the other two agents thought it would in less than a month. I’d highly recommend Lauren to anyone who really wants to sell a house”.

— Barry Cain, President of Gramor Development, Inc.

Lauren has great energy, enthusiasm and is extremely professional. She is an absolute joy to work with. Her analysis of the marketplace allowed us to receive an excellent price for our custom home. Her communication and responsiveness is outstanding. We never had to worry if she was on top of it on a daily basis. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

— Jack Wynne, Retired

Lauren was right on the mark in pricing our home and did an amazing job of advertising to the surrounding community. Our house sold quickly, I believe, due to her invaluable marketing skills. She was darling and so very personable along with being professional.

— Alan and Kathy Sandler, Principal Medical Director

I have never had a real estate agent I was entirely content with prior to working with Lauren. Most go through the motions and don’t earn their commission in my opinion. I have bought and sold eight houses over the years, the last three Lauren was our agent—There is no question she earned her commission on all three. I've found her to be smart, aggressive, creative and easy to do business with. She sold our downtown Portland penthouse at the worst possible time after our previous agent could not, found and negotiated our son a condo in the Pearl District that was perfect for him, and found us a off market Cabana on the lake that took years of door knocking and negotiating, but she wouldn't give up. Never say die, always positive and fun, the best I've ever dealt with. If there were a Lauren Hasson fan club I’d be President!

— Dean Lemman, CEO of Jones Sports Company & Past President of North Coast Electric

Lauren Hasson is one of most amazing real estate agents ever. She made the process of selling and buying a house seamless. Lauren came prepared to list my house, and worked with her team to get my current house into the best possible shape to attract top dollar buyers. With an immaculate house and sparkly agent, the house sold within 20 days of being listed for full asking price. Selling and buying a house at the same time was a bit intimidating, but Lauren helped me come up with a plan to conquer the task with confidence. As soon as my house was listed, Lauren put together a tour of houses for me to look at that were specific to my needs. She paid attention to what I wanted and always steered me in the right direction. She was focused, detail oriented, positive, honest and professional. Working with her on selling and buying simultaneously, she made the process on both ends effortless, and even fun. She handled all loan officers, inspections, buyer requests, bank demands and everything else thrown her way with a positive attitude. Working with Lauren Hasson not only made the process of selling and buying effortless, she made it look easy!

— Erin Moone, Founder and Owner of StarCycle

It’s about quality over quantity. At Hasson, we take tremendous pride in associating only with agents who epitomize the service, communication and professionalism that our company is known for. The agents and the company are dependent upon each other to achieve the greatest success.
