"Simon Hahn just completed a short sale for us that went so smoothly and professionally that it was essentially indistinguishable from a conventional transaction. Most of us will not go through numerous real estate transactions in our lifetimes so the unknowns in the short sale process were intimidating despite its necessity. Mr. Hahn’s professionalism and persistence created an environment where it could not do anything, but go right. Mr. Hahn guided us through the process, explaining each step and phase, leaving no surprises or unexpected events to jump up. While every sale has different circumstances leading to it, our sale was an exceptional experience because while our property was in Virginia, we had had to relocate out-of-state in 2008. The process ran as smoothly as if we were next door to his office. We listed the property in October 2009, had a legitimate offer in the first week, went through the approval process, and closed with the original offer at the end of January 2010. The clarity and timeliness of his communication (responding promptly; never having us wait) and the personal attention he provided to our specific case truly kept what could be a daunting event in good order and progressing well. He had the entire effort well in hand and the patience to answer our questions and calm our fears as needed throughout. An amateur works until he gets it right; a professional works until it cannot go wrong. Mr. Hahn is a consummate professional. We heartily recommend him. "

"I had a primary and secondary mortgage on my property and the short sale process with two loans was very difficult. Yet Simon has managed to come through for me. Along the way, he had a lot of good ideas and offered good advice to help the short sale process moving forward. My case was a difficult one but Simon was persistent and never gave up. He was there for me all the way until the end. Thank you so much for all your hard work, your effort and the unaccounted number of hours that you put into for me. It was such a big relief to have it finally sold! Thank you!"
