(Worth the Read!)
To say connecting with Hal's "Sweasey Team" is getting full service treatment is a huge understatement. After only an email introduction from a best friend and two phone calls with Hal and his colleague Graeme (who both have great initial questions and superb listening skills) a couple weeks earlier, I sent the following email to Graeme 4 weeks to the day from today:
"Graeme,
Your call yesterday spurred me on to have my wife head down this Fri/Sat and take a look
at a few homes. Would there be a chance you or Hal could help out in showing or connect
her with the listing agent to see inside?"

Roll the clock forward just a bit and read below what you get with the most-expert local SLO county team. In less than 6 weeks from making a decision to stretch ourselves and chase after a dream, my wife and I were called this morning by Graeme telling us the title to our new home is in our name! We have just wrapped up a fantastic whirlwind journey to buy our forever dream home at the beach that would not have happened without the leadership and professional services of Hal and his awesome full-service team including Graeme Baldwin and Dakota Bailey, and network of contacts and recommended professionals for traditional and niche inspections with Steve Hebert at ABear and David Spencer and J.R. Spencer Construction, insurance with Susan Riley, lending with Ben Lerner at Flagstar and his team, and Cindy James at Fidelity Title.

Graeme's professionalism and responsiveness 7-days a week, and confidence in navigating the original offer, counter offer and additional accommodation by the seller after inspections demonstrated the perfect patience and expertise needed to push through anxious back and forth during very time sensitive negotiations.

My wife and I, who live 5 hours away, experienced responsiveness and willingness to accommodate our crazy busy schedule with Hal and Graeme and Dakota as if we were simply neighbors next door. And the Sweasey Team's breadth of knowledge of all the ins and outs of the various communities in San Luis Obispo County as well as the nuances of the current market, and how to handle logistics in person and remotely, including how best to approach a seller who had been reluctant to accommodate anything on price for over a year and sell only "as is" allowed us to sit here tonight pinching ourselves that we were able to find the house of our dreams.

They navigated the offer, negotiating terms, referral to a superb lender and loan product and rate, addressed all the logistics of inspections and paperwork from 5 hours away AND ensured we closed escrow in LESS than 30 days to seal the deal with the seller at below asking price.

This is all a testament to the competency and expertise in all aspects of searching, investigating and purchasing a home in San Luis Obispo County with Hal, Graeme, Dakota and the whole Sweasey Team and their professional affiliations. I would and will highly recommend Hal and Graeme to any close friend or family member ever reaching for their dream in the best kept secret of the United States, beautiful San Luis Obispo County.
