Nancy Hankin

"We were interested in buying property in the desert and found Nancy Hankin through an internet search certainly not the conventionally recommended "word of mouth." Nancy is dedicated, organized, meticulous, and knows the desert market well. She showed us several houses that met our specifications and helped us navigate through the maze of loan securement, escrow and finally home ownership. We had several unforeseen stumbling blocks on the way. One call to Nancy on those occasions was sufficient to pave the way forward. We closed escrow on time, largely due to Nancy´s diligence. She is accessible, knowledgeable, personable/charismatic and a hard worker. We whole-heartedly recommend Nancy Hankin if you are interested in buying desert property. "

"We contacted Nancy on a referral from friends in the area who know her on both a business and professional level. We were very pleased to have access to her professionalism and knowledge of the Coachella Valley. Nancy immediately set up e-mail contact with us and once she knew what we were looking for, she forwarded information on properties available. Nancy is not shy about sharing "con´s" as well as "pro´s" of area neighborhoods, construction and details of Desert living. We found our house shortly after returning to the Desert and Nancy´s professional guidance helped us through the closing process. As an added bonus, Nancy is a great source for newcomers as to "go to" people3; whether it be pool maintenance, gardener´s or a handyman; where to shop, eat, or get your hair done. We are pleased to recommend Nancy to anyone who desires first class serv"

"Our first contact with Nancy was the result of a real estate search online. We knew from that first conversation, we had met someone very sincere and trusting. Nancy´s knowledge of the Valley proved to be a huge asset in finding a property to suit our needs. We still can´t believe how far Nancy goes out of her way - with the extremely busy schedule she keeps- to help us even after the deal has been sealed.She has made our purchase progress smoothly and we highly recommend her service to anyone. We feel very honored to call Nancy our friend as well as our real estate agent. Thanks Again!"

"The first thing we did after taking the decision to purchase a vacation property in the Palm Springs area was do some online research to try and find a friendly, professional and knowledgeable real estate agent. We found that, and more, in Nancy Hankin. We knew our primary residence being in Canada would not make it easy to view suitable properties as they became available. Nancy kept in touch with us almost daily - providing us with information on all new listings that met our requirements. After putting together a list of properties to view we made the trip and began the search. As our time was limited we were hoping Nancy would be willing to spend a long day with us. She met us at our hotel and our search began. After finding the perfect property Nancy worked on putting the offer together for us late into the evening. Nancy recommended books for us to read on Canadians purchasing homes in the US. She also recommended areas in the desert to avoid and restaurants and other amenities to try. She provided us with contact numbers for service providers (and even made some of the calls for us). After we returned to Canada and the sale was finalized Nancy went back to our new property and made sure everything was secure and set for us until our return and has continued to answer any questions and help us with anything we need help with to this day. Nancy is indeed helpful and knowledgeable and we would (and have) recommend her highly to anyone who is looking for an agent in the Palm Springs area. With sincerity and many thanks,"

"Dear Nancy: When I began to look seriously at real estate in the Palm Springs area, I found myself most fortunate to receive a referral to you from my Washington State realtor. From the initial visit early this year to evaluate the real estate marketplace in the Coachella Valley, to our prospective property site visits, and subsequent submittal of an offer I found you to reflect the highest standard of professional practices as a realtor. Your extensive awareness of the real estate market, the effects of the current economic downturn on private sale versus lender owned properties, and the strategies to bring about a successful offer provided me the highest level of confidence in your professional capabilities. The real challenge came with the laborious and sometimes frustrating roadblocks that the complicated closing involving Fannie Mae and my out-of-state lender. Your professional expertise in guiding me through the lender-owned sale demonstrated your persistence and savvy in facilitating communication with all parties that brought about a successful closing on an outstanding condo purchase in Palm Springs. Having independently sought out and obtained a mortgage loan pre-approval from an out-of-state lender before starting the serious property search with you, in hindsight I would have heeded your recommendation and sought out a mortgage loan pre-approval from a Coachella Valley local lender. Thankfully, your sound professional judgment and timely communication with all parties achieved the great buy on my dream Palm Springs property. I hope other prospective clients seek out your professional real estate services as they can do so with utmost confidence in their interests being very well served. Your subsequent referral to home improvement services has also been invaluable. You´ve provided me with a sound beginning as a Palm Springs resident!"

"I contacted Nancy by email and she immediately began to send me properties to view online. I scheduled a visit to Palm Springs and Nancy had arranged for me to view 18 condos in 2 days. I informed Nancy we had to do them all in one day! WE DID IT! The next day we wrote an offer for the very last condo we viewed the day before. While viewing condos with Nancy , she very quickly learned my likes and dislikes. After the offer was written, Nancy took the time to show me the highlights of neighboring communities and before long we had a call of offer acceptance. I flew home the next day wondering how did all that just happen so fast! A month has since passed and Nancy has been there for every question and aspect of the possession. Nancy is very knowledgeable and offers very worthy opinions for individuals owning property in the Coachella Valley and living elsewhere!"

"Dear Nancy Just a short note to thank you for the professionalism that you continue to display in handling our real estate needs here in the Coachella valley- When we recently completed the sale of our home in Rancho Mirage, it represented the third transaction where we have utilized you as our broker in the past six years. Additionally, we worked with you to help locate a home and close the transaction when our daughter´s family relocated from Florida to La Quinta. I could write a long letter praising your marketing ability, knowledge of the industry, understanding of the market, and negotiating skills--the bottom line is that we keep coming back to you every time we need an expert to handle our real estate needs. Further testament is that if we need to do another real estate transaction, there is no question in our mind that we will retain you again as our representative--- you deliver the desired results. Thanks again for your help and professionalism for quickly selling our last home, in a tough market, at above its´ appraised value. Sincerely,"

"Dear Nancy, Thank you so much for your wonderful help in both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our condo. Having been in the real estate business in another state, we really appreciate your concern that we get it right and the professional way in which you guided us through the maze that is buying and selling real estate in California. We were particularly impressed with your ability to get us pre-approved for a loan on a Sunday afternoon! You have the ability to understand your clients´ needs and steer them in the right direction. Your confidence and sense of humor helped to ease what can be a very stressful time. We wouldn´t hesitate to recommend you to our friends or to call you should we ever decide to move again. Best of all we feel that we have made a new friend. Sincerely yours,"

"Wow! Talk about fast! I first contacted Nancy on October 12, 2007, after researching real estate agents on the internet, and explained to her that my 88 year old Mother, living in Palm Springs, wanted to sell her home of 29 years and move to Northern California, to be with family. I had my first meeting, in Palm Springs, with Nancy on Wednesday, October 17th and discussed the marketing of my Mother´s home. Nancy impressed me with her understanding of the Palm Springs real estate market and current economic conditions. Nancy suggested a realistic listing price for the house, to which we agreed, and the house was listed on Monday, October 22. On Friday October 26 we had an offer! From there on, Nancy and her team made the entire escrow process trouble free. I can honestly say there were no hold ups or mistakes. Everything proceeded right on schedule making this one of the easiest and fastest transactions I´ve been involved with! Besides being a true professional, Nancy is a great person to work with. I was really amazed! Thank you so much,"
