"It's a particularly challenging time to be selling real estate, but not when you're fortunate enough to work with Team Sweasey. I've been involved in real estate for over 35 years, and I have never worked with a more professional, hardworking team. From evaluating the market and providing thoughtful recommendations on pricing and improvements, to coordinating their subcontractors, Team Sweasey delivered the best possible experience. I worked specifically with Jordan Knauer, an exceptionally talented, hardworking, and well-informed broker. My wife and I believe it was only through his persistence, dedication, and incredible integrity that our transaction came together. We will continue to recommend Jordan and Team Sweasey to all our friends--and already have." read more

I had an amazing experience working with Team Sweasey, specifically working with Jordan, Dakota, and Christina. They are extremely communicative and knowledgeable about the entire real estate process. I would highly recommend Team Sweasey for any real estate needs. read more

Melody Avant and the rest of the Hal Sweasey Team were absolutely fantastic when we were ready to buy our condo. She checked in with us every month or so for the last year when we first expressed interest... not pushy at all. And when we were ready to pull the trigger, she found the perfect property that was an easy sale. It was EXACTLY what we needed. Then she walked us through the whole process. And after the sale, she followed up to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. I've never had an easier purchasing experience. I would recommend Meloday and the Hal Sweasey team without reservation. read more

The Hal Sweasey Group was fantastic as they guided us through our real estate purchase. I was particularly impressed how quickly they responded to any questions and concerns we had! Our agent Devin was an attentive liaison with the mortgage and escrow companies, which kept the process on track. Excellent communication! We would definitely use the team again and recommend them to family and friends. read more

In thinking back of my five months knowing Melody Avant, I'm almost moved to tears with how much she feels like family to me. She's been instrumental in this phase and chapter of my life and has been through the thick and thin of it with me. She seen my good and (way) bad sides and she still stuck with me! I tend to buy houses once every 23 years, so I forgot how it all happened the first time around, but Melody was so gentle and effective in helping me move through all my emotions, this time around. I'm kind-of an alarmist and hand-wringer when you get right down to it and she's talked me off the bridge so many times with her gentle nature and logical mind-- yet I feel more akin to her in a deeper way. I somehow was magically paired up with her when I called the office after I was interested in a house with a 'for sale' sign for her real estate company out front. Turned out that one was in escrow, so I asked if she could show me houses at a bigger price point, since that's what I thought I would have after the sale of my house. Well, turns out, I was WAAAY off with my funds and had to start over again at a lower price point. She never batted an eye and we started in a different direction. She always remembered my likes and dislikes (which are really quirky and way different from normal people) and she kept that in mind when looking at houses. Melody: "I'm sorry to say, this one has granite countertops and stainless steal appliances.." Me: "Ug." Melody was also deeply empowering (I know this sounds, Marin-county, woo-woo, but it was really a turning point when I realized she was like family) when my 12-year-old niece didn't want to go to a sketchy property I asked to see, and Melody said that we didn't have to go in, even though I felt obligated. I really liked that she had our safety and comfort in mind, putting her reputation of missing an appointment secondarily. It really resonated with me, being a single female- scared of my shadow- looking at properties. So, it was with the daily emails from Team Sweasey that I found my 'forever home' and Melody wrote the proposal an hour after I texted her about really thinking it was a gem. I'm just beside myself in love with my new, little house. It has everything I dreamt of and more. It was critical for me to have dirt to plant veggies in and not 20 hours after I had moved in, I was out weeding the raised beds. Swoon. She helped me through all the steps, with ease and grace of an absolute, true professional, debunking all of my nutty, "out there" behavior. I have absolutely no hesitation and only joy in my heart at recommending her to the highest regard. read more

Hal Sweasey, and his team were accessible, responsive, knowledgeable and kind through the whole process of selling my house. They made a difficult situation go smoothly. His team Sarah, Sharon, Dakota , Stephanie and Hal walked me through the whole process so l didn't have any extra stress. I am so impressed with this agency and highly recommend them. They got many offers in the first weekend of listing and we closed for over asking. I love how they utilized a team approach. They exceeded my expectations beyond my wildest dreams. I am truly grateful to Hal and his team. read more

Hal and team helped with the trust sale of our family home. He delivered exactly what he said he would do. He provided us with people who could help us prepare the home for sale. He communicated frequently and clearly, particularly considering that none of us live in town. During negotiations, he patiently explained different scenarios and concerns, and worked diligently to overcome the hurdles to create a win-win outcome. He was very professional in how he presented our options, and definitely knows the market well. His advice and council were much appreciated; we were very satisfied with the result. read more

I have never met Hal, but after researching the top agents in SLO I choose Hal to list my investment property. Hal and his team did so much more than just list and sell this property! Here are a just a few of the tasks they performed for me as I communicated with them from long distance. The Team solicited bids for me from many different trades to repair and fix needed items in the home. They met with my tenants and kept them happy while they coordinated all inspections appraisals and work that was to be done on the home. They coordinated and did the move out inspection with my tenants. I have very high expectations of anyone I hire to do a job, I give big thanks to Hal and his team who performed and delivered. read more

Melody Avant and the Sweasey team as a whole are 5 Star Realtors and provide tremendous value for anyone looking to buy or sell a home. I highly recommend their services and can't say enough about the positive experience we had working with them! read more

Worst..not honest..lost over 6 figures..plus pushes the elderly to list..over and over

After six months of listing with another agent, my investment property (five apartments and a house) remained unsold. I took it off the market. But when I got new property tax bills months later at the reassessed value (the property had been transferred to an irrevocable trust upon the death of the previous owner, and Prop 13 rules dramatically increased the taxable value), I realized that as trustee who lives 1,600 miles away it didn't make sense to continue owning it. Based on the reviews on Yelp, I called Hal, and we agreed on a much shorter listing. Hal and his team sold it in about half the time of the previous listing. There was a period of time when it looked like the sale might not go through, but Hal and his team guided the process through to a successful closing, with no real effort needed on my part. read more

I would highly recommend Hal & his team. They have been responsive, hard working, and reliable/knowledgeable from day 1 until closing of my sale. I cannot say enough good things about this group. Selling a home can be a very stressful experience, so it's comforting to have a strong local group that understands the SLO market to help you out. All-in-all a very good experience, and I'm super satisfied with the results. read more

I asked simple questions, and my questions we answered with questions. I responded back to their questions and never received any further communication besides a request for personal information. Left a phone message, and no answer. I guess being from out of town makes it harder to make a connection, but this company showed no interest in my business. I still have to buy a home, but I'll look for other representation. read more

Working with the Hal Sweasey team has been such a smooth and effortless experience. As Trustees for our uncle's estate and living out of town we were concerned that selling the house would be a difficult and lengthy task. Our first meeting with Hal let us know we were in good hands. His kindness, expertise and approach to putting it on the market made the decision to list exceptionally easy. He knew all the right people to call to help ready the house for sale and within a week it was on the market. We listed it on August 1, 2019 (had to offers) and closed today!! There were obstacles to overcome and they were handled with efficiency. Thank you to the entire team making a very emotional sale that much easier. read more

Graeme on Hal Sweasey's team help me with the purchase of a new investment condo in SLO. The transaction was very smooth, and Graeme did a great job moving the purchase along, and doing most of the leg work. I don't live in the area, so Graeme and his team visited the property for me providing honest feedback about the condition of the condo. They also did the final walk through for me to confirm all the repairs were completed by the seller. I highly recommend using Hal Sweasey Real Estate. read more

It was rewarding to work with Hal and his expert team on the recent sale of our home on acreage. We chose Hal partly because we know him and his fine reputation, and because as a retired Realtor, I know one person just can't do it all satisfactorily. The team approach is crucial to Hal's business success; he chooses friendly professionals to supplement his involvement. We were kept up to date as to showings, market conditions and showing feedback so we never felt left out of the process. Michael and I highly recommend Hal Sweasey-RE read more

Team Sweasey provided me with comprehensive, capable service in all stages of home buying. I especially appreciated their recommendations when negotiating price/terms, and their information/guidance while in escrow. Team Sweasey was there for me from the open house, and even now after keys were handed over. read more

Our experience with Team Sweasey was nothing short of excellent. Our house sat on the market for six months without any serious offers. We couldn't understand why. It was an immaculate place in excellent condition. Everyone that saw the house loved the house, but we got no serious offers, and our listing expired without our house being sold. That all changed when we listed it with Team Sweasey just one month later at a higher asking price. Team Sweasey was totally confident they would have our house sold quickly. Sure enough, the 1st day on the market, we got two full price offers with several other people interested. A couple of days later we got additional offers, one of them above our new higher asking price and we accepted it. The communication with Team Sweasey was unbelievable. We were informed and advised every step of the way. It's rare to see this kind of service. This team is off the charts amazing. From the time I received their cold call to relist my house through the entire process, this team was on top of it. To take things to another level, they helped us find an interim house to rent while our new house was being remodeled. I couldn't have imagined a better more positive experience. If you are considering selling your house, look no further. Team Sweasey will make it happen. read more

Ive been working with Hal and his team for a few years now, and it has been nothing but great. I've bought two properties and sold one through them. On the purchase aspect, they fought to get me the best price possible. They helped in every way shape and form possible. On the sellers side, they got me full asking and sold in 3 days! Hal and his team go above and beyond. The last property I purchased was a rental. Melody, one of Hal's managers, was so kind she helped set up a pre move in cleaning, and even showed the unit for me to a few prospective clients. Way above my expectations forsure! team Sweasey has earned my business for life!!!! Update: just bought my third home with this team, and it's been nothing but a pleasure!

Hal and his team are really fantastic. From the first phone call to the day we closed, everything ran very smoothly. With us being out of town, Hal reassured us that we had no worries. He outlined a very clear process. He exceeded our expectations. Everything was seamless. His entire team was available if we had any questions. We didn't even have to drive into town to care care of anything. I would highly recommend these folks. You can see from their fantastic reviews. House sold quickly and over ask!

I've worked with Hal Sweasey for over 20 years and he has helped me buy and sell numerous properties in that time, most recently selling a home on San Luis Drive. The reason I keep coming back to Hal is that he stays on top of the market, communicates extremely well and always looks out for my interests. I've found Hal and his team to be responsive and accommodating and I know I've got a hard working real estate professional in my court when I work with Hal. I recommend him highly! read more

Hal Sweasey and his team made buying our dream home a reality. We recently sold a rental property in Oceano and bought another home in Arroyo Grande. We told Team Sweasey that we wanted a quick sale of our rental property so we could get moving on purchasing our new home. From the very beginning, Hal listened to us, communicated constantly, and made the process so smooth. We sold our rental property in a matter of days. Hal helped us find the perfect buyer. We couldn't be more pleased with how that sale turned out. I really appreciate how he always treated us like we were his #1 client. I knew I could trust him right from the start. When it came down to making an offer on our new home, we knew we were competing with multiple offers. However, Lindsey used her expertise in the real estate field to be sure that our offer was strong. We were able to purchase the home of our dreams without being denied or countered or anything! WOW!! The escrow process can be somewhat unpredictable and confusing at times. And with so much money going into this purchase, it made me slightly nervous. I can't tell you how AWESOME Melody and Lindsey were during that time. They were ALWAYS a text away. The response time was ALWAYS immediate. And no matter what, they were there for me... on my side. They were there to help. They made the process so easy. I am so thankful for them!!! Without a shadow of a doubt, I would hire Hal Sweasey and his AMAZING team to help with our next real estate purchase or sale. read more

Hal and his associates have been quite diligent and quite attentive in helping us with our house buying needs.

Everyone says that buying your first house is long, stressful, and draining. Well, its true that it was kind of stressful (how could a purchase that big not be), but it wasn't as stressful as people described. And it didn't take very long at all. Yes there was a lot of reading legal documents and whatnot, but it wasn't crazy like people told me it would be. Actually, compared to the stories I've heard, it was EASY to buy our first house! Having a great realtor really does make all the difference!!! When we first started looking for a realtor, I was told to do my research and contact a few. Well, I contacted 5, and Hal Sweasey's team was the first to send me an auto-response and the first to contact me person-to-person (the rest really fell flat in comparison). They quickly paired me up with Graeme Baldwin, and we are so happy they did! Graeme was easy to talk to, understood all my preferences with just one conversation, and never made me feel silly for asking an obvious question. He was available to us 24/7 and responded to voicemails/emails/texts almost always within 1 hour or less. If we needed something ("Graeme we found a house that we want to see tomorrow morning", "Graeme we have questions for the other realtor about...", "Graeme we're really concerned about...", "Graeme we need this specific type of inspector out there asap", etc) he would get the answer, the appointment, whatever it was, within hours. We had a 30 day escrow without any hiccups. Everything went smoothly thanks to Graeme being on top of it. He would check in with us almost everyday with a new update or to make sure we signed the document he sent over and explained what it was. He constantly reassured us about the order and time line of the upcoming steps to close. He never rushed us in our decision making. I can't tell you enough about how great this guy is! If anyone needs a realtor, definitely go with Hal Sweasey's team- specifically Graeme Baldwin if possible. The rest of the team is amazing too. Hal Sweasey called me himself to make sure that we were being given the best service possible. Dakota was always easy to call with questions, provided great info for repairs and inspections, and gave us a list of the companies they had good experiences working with. Everyone here at this team are great people and (while Graeme will always be my favorite) every one of them helped make buying our first house a great experience! read more

One of the most unprofessional real estate groups I have every worked with. They have multiple people working on transactions, so there is no relationship building and perpetuates mis-communication. Paperwork is full of mistakes. After bringing errors to their attention, it took several attempts before they got it right. Not what you want in an agency where details are critical. read more

My husband and I bought a home from Hal Sweasey. It's a beautiful downtown home in San Luis Obispo. Hal was absolutely wonderful to work with!

We highly recommend Hal and his team!!! read more

After working with several realtors on the Central Coast unsuccessfully our friends recommended their realtor Lindsey to us. From beginning to end Lindsey was super helpful, informative and had great communication. Lindsey never made us feel pressure to put in offers and it took her no time at all for to understand exactly what we were looking for. She seemed to have great relationships with a lot of other realtors in the area too which I believe helped us when we ended up putting in an offer. I couldn't recommend this team more! read more

Hal Sweasey-Re/MAX was quick and efficient! They got our family what we exactly wanted for the best price in the market. I read a lot of material about real estate and how to find the perfect home, but Lindsey (our realtor from Hal Sweasey) help put in perspective the market in San Luis Obispo area for my wife and I that is not captured in text. They handled every question and concern professionally and in a timely manner. She got us our home on our first bid! It was perfect! I perceived buying a home to be stressful but Hal Sweasey team made the process so smooth us. I can't wait to use them again for our next real estate purchase. read more

Professional, Knowledgable and Caring I cannot say enough great things about Hal Sweasey and his team(Mel & Maura) at Del Oro Realty. What a wonderful group of people! Initially, I was talking with other realtor who stated the property was worth significantly less than the final selling price without $40000 of repairs and improvements. At the suggestion of others, I contacted Hal Sweasey. He toured the property and gave me his assessment. What a difference. Hal was professional and very knowledgable about the market and handling trust properties. He talked me through how he saw the property, how a buyer would see the property, how the selling price would be determined and what work needed to be done to get the property ready. From this first meeting to the final details, Hal and team exceeded my expectations. They walked me through the process with minimal stress, answering all my questions and concerns promptly. They showed both patience and caring during this difficult time. Hal's knowledge and expertise leaded to multiple offers within days of listing at more than asking price with very minor work being done on the property. I am so glad to have found Hal Sweasey and would recommend him anyone looking to buy or sell property in San Luis Obispo county. read more
