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.

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.

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!

Hal Sweasey and his team are simply the best. I like to work with professionals who know what they are doing and communicate clearly and quickly. That's what this team did for me.Hal and his team listed and sold my rental unit in Morro Bay quickly and efficiently in the middle of a pandemic. I highly recommend them.

Hal, Graeme & Dakota were instrumental in helping us find our dream home on the Central Coast. Their knowledge of the local market combined with exceptional communication skills, allowed us to wade through all of the possible purchases before we landed on the RIGHT one. Thanks to everyone at Team Sweasey!

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.

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! We are happy!

Jordan and the entire Sweasey team were amazing to work with. Superb communication and extremely response to questions. Our entire transaction went quickly and smoothly. Looking forward to continuing our relationship as we continue our journey.

It was a real pleasure working with Jennifer of Team Sweasey in buying our new dwelling on the coast. More than professional, she was accessible, responsive, fast and efficient. She made the process seem easy and fun. Thank you, Jen - for all your support and help during what can be such a stressful time.

Hal's team was great! His agent Graeme Baldwin worked with us until he found us the perfect investment property. They also helped us with the financing. Their experience made it happen.

Winna Gil and Hal did a very nice job with representing both sides of this transaction. Always felt like my interests were heard and addressed.

We sold a nice home that had some challenges (tenants in a lease), but we found a buyer quickly! Then Graeme helped us prepare an accepted offer on our new house in Pismo Beach that checks all of our boxes. Dakota worked with us thru both escrow process, very responsive and easy to get a hold of. Hal has a great team, and we would not hesitate to recommend them for buying or selling.

Over the years my wife and I have worked with a number of Real Estate Agents and found Hal to be the Best. While all good agents are nice, personable and responsive, Hal offers another level of professionalism and expertise. Throughout the entire process I was always impressed with his advice (including tax consequences and exchanges) and his unique method of pricing and negotiating with multiple buyers. I am convinced that Hal’s approach netted us more than with any other agent. And finally, Hal scores 100% on my Ultimate Real Estate Agent Scorecard: He answers his PHONE, every time. Does your agent do that? Sincerely, Ken & Debra Lehman

I hammered Hal Sweasey with property inquires for years before we finally pulled the trigger. He always returned my calls promptly and answered my questions thoroughly, which was why, when we were finally ready to purchase, we knew Hal was our guy. We've made three property purchases through Hal in the last 10 years. Every transaction, Hal and his team have been knowledgeable and efficient. They know the area, and they listen thoroughly to our requests without trying to push us in a different direction. We have full faith and loads of gratitude for the whole team.

Hal is the consummate professional. He answers his calls, responds to email and gave me great advice, including turning down a full price offer so that we could get a full feel for the current market. He made us an extra $100,000 just with that recommendation alone. I loved that Hal told me to do stuff because it was in my best interest, not his. I cannot more highly recommend Hal. Great guy. And I did the Entire transaction over the phone and email and barely had to lift a finger to sell a million dollar property. Awesome!!

Hal and Team Sweasey are top notch in their professionalism and prompt attention to their client's concerns. Hal understands the market here on the central coast and has the experience and credentials we can trust. Our family highly recommends Hal Sweasey and it is fun doing business with these folks!

Hal Sweasey and his team were of the highest caliber. Always returned our phone calls promptly. They took care of many little details when we were unable too. We highly recommend them.

I've worked with Hal Sweasey and his team for many years and purchased several properties. This last purchase was for 2 properties he brought to me that weren't even on the market and for which I needed special terms. He and Graeme Baldwin, his buyer's specialist, got the job done! They are consummate professionals, provide excellent guidance and are always available. For any real estate needs in San Luis Obispo County I would call them.

My experience with Hal and Melody began via Yelp, when I targeted 2 realtors with rave reviews to help me search for a home. Hal called me within minutes and we set an appointment. The other realtor did respond with a message, but never followed up. Our first meeting was casual, and Hal and Melody really listened to my story and what I thought I wanted. I had lived out of the country on a small island for the last 10 years, and re-entry into the 21st century was overwhelming. Melody showed me a few properties and gauged my responses, sometimes better than I did myself. Both she and Hal have lived in SLO county most of their lives and have specific knowledge of each neighborhood. When I asked a question, the answer was not pablum, but informative and related to my personal concerns. Melody shepherded me through many showings and put up with my qualms and frustrations. In the meantime, she connected me with a stellar mortgage broker who quickly prequalified me for a specific amount and the three of us worked as a team, moving forward on every little detail. Today I closed on a beautiful home in Avila Beach. Melody took me to it on the first day of listing and as we walked out, we agreed to make an offer. We sat in the parking lot and developed the offer, and through her guidance my offer was taken over another one offering more money. We met the sellers and I promised to take care of the home they’d lived in for 20 years. A lovely ending to the incredibly smooth negotiation. The Hal Sweasey office functions as a team and they pride themselves on communication with their clients. Hal insists on continuing education for his team and sends them to conferences to hone their skills. They are professional, yet personable and highly competent and honest. I recommend Hal and Melody to anyone in the market to buy or sell their home. My experience substantiates their ranking as the #1 realtor in SLO county.

I was referred to Hal Sweasey when I needed to sell my late brother's home. I had worked with a ReMax agent when I sold my home in 2016 and had an excellent experience. Hal Sweasey with his team was even better, in part because the entire sale was conducted long distance - I was 1000 miles away throughout all the negotiations.

Hal and and Graeme were great to work with and made a potentially stressful buying situation much smoother! They were very knowledgeable in all areas and went above and beyond my expectations. I would definitely use them again!

(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.

Working with Team Sweasey was amazing. Since we were about 5 hours from the area in which we wanted to buy, they listened very carefully to our wants and needs and helped us compile a list of properties to look at. My daughter and I met Graeme Baldwin at the office. He called me and stood outside the office and stayed on the phone until we saw him, and then he directed us into a parking space, invited us into the office, made sure we had water, and off we went for several hours to several cities to view many houses from the list and packet he prepared for us. Graeme did such a great job letting us know about each property. Every room we looked in, he was there, but hung back so that my daughter and I could talk, think, take pictures and video. I never felt rushed and appreciated the time I had to think about the logistics of moving 7 people to a new place! We ended up buying a house in Cayucos, and Graeme and Team Sweasey was with us every step of the way. I highly recommend Team Sweasey!

Team Sweasey was very professional in all aspects of our sale. They were very responsive and kept us informed almost daily. We would highly recommend Team Sweasey.

Hal's entire team was very professional and patient. We took our time reading every document and were never made to feel under pressure. Selling remotely was very easy, and they were responsible when it came to COVID-19 protocols and flexible when it came to adjusting showing times for our schedule. We highly recommend the entire team.

I was a first time home buyer and Graeme Baldwin, along with the rest of Team Sweasey, was tremendously helpful. I was walked through the process step by step and any questions that I had along the way were answered in detail. I appreciated that team's responsiveness to my messages and always felt like I was in good hands.

I worked with Wina and she was nothing short of absolutely amazing! She supported me in really thinking through exactly what I wanted in my home, took me to see many properties, and helped me work seamlessly with my mortgage broker. She was always so calm and so nice, but I also know how hard she worked for me -she’s never willing to settle and let you get less than what you really deserve! When I was straightforward and honest, I very much enjoyed working with her. The whole team in her office is also amazing. Several people supported me and I received several follow up phone calls to make sure everything was going well as I moved into my new home. I highly recommend this group!

Dakota Bailey on team Sweasey was very professional. He listed my condo in downtown San Luis Obispo for even more than I thought I could sell it for. I accepted an offer to open escrow for the listing price after just ten business days and Dakota helped to navigate a successful close. I highly recommend team Sweasey!

Hal and his Team were outstanding! As an out of area seller, after speaking to Hal on phone, his calmness and sincerity just shined though. I gave him the listing at the end of our conversation. Hal and his Team were a pleasure to deal with. Everyone was more than happy to answer/explain any question I had. Everyone on the Team kept me informed and made it so easy. We had an offer within about 24 hours and multiple offers thereafter. We closed very quickly and Hal and his Team were very profession but also personable though out. You can not go wrong by using Hal and his Team!!

My wife and I worked with Graeme over the past two years to find the right home. Graeme and Hal's team were excellent and professional throughout the process. We recently closed on our first home with Graeme, and he did a great job helping us through the closing process. Thank you Graeme!!

The team at Hal Sweasey is the best in class. We were masterfully guided from start to finish with a smooth ride all the way. In the market today, having the know how is the only way to success. We closed the deal on the perfect condo at just the right time. Our deepest gratitude goes to Team Sweasey.

Hal Sweasey and his team did an outstanding job selling our home in Bassi Ranch. We had moved out of State prior to marketing the home and Hal and his team kept us informed and were responsive through the entire process. I would recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home on the Central Coast

We sold a nice home that had some challenges (tenants in a lease), but we found a buyer quickly! Then Graeme helped us prepare an accepted offer on our new house in Pismo Beach that checks all of our boxes. Dakota worked with us thru both escrow process, very responsive and easy to get a hold of. Hal has a great team, and we would not hesitate to recommend them for buying or selling.

Thanks so much, Sweasey Team, for making our home sale so easy and painless for us. We appreciated the great communication the team provided all the way through to close of escrow - we knew what to expect. You'll be our go-to for our next purchase/sale. Great job!

It’s been a pleasure working with Graeme Baldwin on the purchase of our home. He’s been very responsive and able to handle queries in a timely manner. We’ve been made comfortable and at ease through out the entire process. His warm demeanor, willingness to help resolve issues out of his control and just overall pleasant attitude made up for some of the slight challenges we came across. Team Sweasey has nothing but professional and reliable. Highly recommended!

How made a difficult process easy and simple and understandable. We really appreciate his other team members too!

As a home inspector in the San Luis Obispo area for over twenty years I have worked with the Hal Sweasey Team often. This team is among the most competent, responsive and involved I have had the pleasure of working with. I have no reservations about recommending their services to anyone considering buying or selling a home in this county.

Hal Sweasey and his team had the experience and knowledge as well as professionalism to help us sell our home in a multi-offer situation. We are happy with the process and the outcome and sense that the buyers are too. Hal's team was such a pleasure to work with and responded quickly and kindly to any questions we had.

Hal and his team were very informative, supportive and always happy to answer questions.

Hal & his team helped us out with the sale of our home. They were a delight to work with and did everything they could to make the process easy for us, lining up inspections, showings, etc. while keeping everyone informed throughout the process. The team was very knowledgeable to any questions that arose and attentive to our needs. We are grateful for their help and would absolutely recommend Hal & his team. Thanks again!

Hal is a top of the line Realtor who I would highly recommend. Always professional, friendly and most important responsive and timely.

My wife and I are extremely grateful for realtor Graeme Baldwin and everyone at Team Sweasey. Graeme was able to get us into our first home during this hot sellers market. Graeme is professional, honest, and knows how to write a competitive offer. We highly recommend Graeme and Team Sweasey!

Hal and Team Sweasey are simply the best. Their level of professionalism, industry knowledge and integrity make them a stand alone option for buyers or sellers. We refer clients to Team Sweasey with complete confidence that they are in the very best care!

I am a general contractor who has worked with Team Sweasey for the last few years. They are always super professional and exhibit true quality and knowledge as a realty team. Hal leads the team with great integrity and high ethics. I highly recommend them to anyone!

Great market knowledge, professional team and excellent customer service!

As a vendor, we enjoy working with Team Sweasey. Their work ethic is in line with our company. They put the customer first and do whatever it takes to get the job done. Always a pleasure. Gary Kibbe, Owner, SLO Dryer Vent Cleaning.

Hal was very helpful in assisting us in selling our property. He met with us before we listed with any agent and spent the time to walk through our property and gave us advice on how we could make the property more sellable. Hal was quick to respond to any questions we had and always kept us up to date on any developments. Hal was able to get the best price for our property. Hal also puts out monthly videos on events effecting the real estate market. His last video on Prop 19 I have forwarded to many friends which will save them tens of thousands of dollars in their retirement/estate planning.

Hal’s team made the sales process as easy as it could be given all the craziness of the pandemic. They were very communicative and went the extra mile to ensure that minor hiccups did not become stumbling blocks. I would absolutely use them again. Hal also recommended a top notch buyers agent in my new city making the home purchase end of our move also a success. Hal knows the area, the values and made the process smooth.

Graeme did a great job for us! We spent a day looking at properties, found one, and closed escrow in 30 days!

Great!!!! we had a great experience with this real estate firm and they are the most knowledgeable in the San Luis Obispo County and surrounding areas. If you want your house to be sold fast and efficient this is the team to go with. If you want your house to sit on the market choose someone else

Hal, Wina and Team Sweasey are professional, market experts, that located that hard to find property in a hot marketplace. Team Sweasey assisted us from negotiations, inspections, escrow to close in a trustworthy and expedient fashion. Hal has always answered all questions, returns calls and is your advocate in the marketplace. Buying or selling I recommend Team Sweasey and would use them again for my real estate needs.

Hal and Team Sweasey were great assets during our move from SF to SLO! Their knowledge, relaxed approach, and responsiveness set them apart from past agents we have used. We can't recommend them enough and will be using them if we buy another house in the area.

Very good group of people to have on your side.They really want to find you a great buyer and meet all goals you have outlined to them.They complete your sale fast with no problems.Great Team!

Team Sweasey has been excellent to work with! We are a busy Real Estate office in the Los Angeles area and have worked with Hal and Team on several occasions. Hal is the definition of a top notch professional. His knowledge of the Real Estate market and experience is invaluable to any client he works with.

I hammered Hal Sweasey with property inquires for years before we finally pulled the trigger. He always returned my calls promptly and answered my questions thoroughly, which was why, when we were finally ready to purchase, we knew Hal was our guy. We've made three property purchases through Hal in the last 10 years. Every transaction, Hal and his team have been knowledgeable and efficient. They know the area, and they listen thoroughly to our requests without trying to push us in a different direction. We have full faith and loads of gratitude for the whole team.

I worked for Team Sweasey for 2 years. I can honestly say it was the best job I ever had in my 54 years of working experience. The high level of competence of both agents and staff members along with combined years of experience affords Hal and his team to handle every contingency, expected or otherwise, with professionalism as well as patience. Team Sweasey Customer Service sets the bar in a profession where it is often overlooked in favor of just "getting the job done". Hal's leadership and integrity were a daily inspiration for me. His knowledge of the market, his negotiating skills and his dedication to his clients is unsurpassed in the area. I highly recommend Team Sweasey for any Real Estate business in San Luis Obispo County as well as a source of referrals to agents outside of the area. This is a stellar group of individuals - you will be in good hands with Hal and Team.
