What Clients Are Saying About Hannah and Billy:
"After looking for homes in the Eugene area for about a year, we recently bought a beautiful log home with the help of Hannah Clotere. Being from out of state made it difficult, because we couldn't make as many trips to Oregon as we wanted to. But thanks to Hannah's emails of MLS listings, we were able to see many homes, and if we liked one, Hannah would check it out for us. Luckily, she knew our style and what we were looking for. She didn't waste our time showing us homes we didn't like.
When Hannah showed my wife the log home, it was love at first sight, and my wife put an offer in without me even seeing the home. I trusted my wife and Hannah, and I'm glad I did, because the home is fantastic!
I've never had a sale go so smoothly, especially in these real estate trying times. She helped us get the loan, the inspection, and even did the walk thru for us because we couldn't get up to Oregon for it. She was fantastic and patient with us through the whole process, and we can't thank her enough! Thanks Again!"
-Casey Hotchkiss
Thank you Hannah and Billy for helping us with the purchase of our new house. You showed professional expertise in guiding us through a complicated and sometimes overwhelming process. I especially appreciate the calm and thoughtful way you dealt wiht each part of the process from viewing different properties, all the way through sitting with us when we signed the final papers. you never once seemed irritated at my mistakes or hurried with my many calls.
We feel good about our investment. It wouldn't have happened with out you. Yes, Hannah you are my dear first-born niece and sometimes donig business with family can be tricky. But you took loving and careful care of us and I am impressed and grateful I feel certain that Hannah and Billy would work as hard for any person looking for reliable realtors.
-Ritta Dreier
I've recently had the pleasure of working with Hannah & Billy in both selling and buying a home. When my home was sold Hannah & Billy carefully assesed our situation and helped us come up with a price that we were both happy with and was realistic. They were also helpful with decorating/staging tips (which we followed). Because of their expertise the house sold in two days with a full price offer!
I then purchased a home with their help. Hannah was an amazing resource in many ways. She helped me when I was trying to decide if the house was right for me (it is) and facilitated the many inspections that were done. She also went the extra mile to help me find a lender that would finance my unusual property when the first loan fell through. Hannah was a positive guiding force when things got difficult and my emotions were high. I couldn't be more pleased with my home and the experience of working with Billy and Hannah!
-Corey Henning
"Hannah Clotere is an extraordinary realtor. Extremely dedicated in helping her clients find that perfect home, her creative energy infuses all aspects of the process making buying and selling a home an enjoyable experience.
I have had the joy of working with Hannah over the years, both buying and selling my homes. On two occasions, when I was trying to find a house, Hannah listened closely to my needs and desires and helped me find the perfect home.
When I needed to sell, Hannah's creative eye in staging enabled me to sell my house in just a day! Through her experienced negotiation skills, I was able to get my asking price. She is patient, considerate and 100% "there" for her clients. Without any hesitation I enthusiastically say Hannah is the only realtor I will work with in Lane County."
-Leia Hart 4J School Teacher
"Hannah and Billy recently assisted us in purchasing our first home. We can't thank them enough for making it such a smooth and enjoyable process! Their availability was phenomenal. Hannah literally spent part of her vacation negotiating the purchase of our home, demonstrating that she was truly there for us no matter what was going on. We always felt like their number one priority and that was important for us as we went through this process for the first time.
Hannah and Billy did every single thing we asked them to do. We would highly recommend Hannah and Billy to anyone needing a real estate agent. I can't imagine getting better service or having a better experience. Thanks again!"
-Jeff and Rebecca Nicholson
"I'd like to let everybody in on the secret of the world's best real estate agents-- Hannah and Billy Clotere. I worked mainly with Hannah, both selling my home and buying a new one and couldn't have done it without her. She gave me great advice on what to do to get my house ready to sell that didn't cost a fortune and yet made all the difference in the world. She was there whenever I had any questions or qualms or nerves (and there was plenty of all three) and made the process as painless as possible--especially in today's challenging real estate environment. So my advice to anyone that is thinking of either buying or selling a house (or both) is call Hannah and Billy today for the best real estate agents in our area."
-Michele Butler
Hannah, Thanks so much for all the help that you and Billy provided us in finding Ian´s first home. Your knowledge of the market was great and you were patient in answering our numerous questions. You were so good at continuously finding properties in our price range to consider. We especially liked the fact that you did the follow-through you said you would do. You were on time for appointments and returned calls when you said you would! These are not insignificant things when we all seem to be so busy.
You were both so easy and enjoyable to work with. We would be very happy to recommend you to others.
- Jim & Ian Beyer
"I first came in contact with the Cloteres in the summer of 2008 when the market was really beginning to turn here in Eugene. I had some general questions about the local market and about one of their listings in particular. I got those questions answered right away and I also started receiving their newsletter that updated conditions locally, which was GREAT ! I was impressed right away that they were interested in service first, sales to follow. I kept this in mind (and kept reading the newsletter) and when it was time to sell a house I had in SE Eugene I went to them without hesitation. Even while vacationing in Hawaii Hannah called to tell me they'd love to start for me when back later that week. The emails, the newsletter, and the callbacks had cemented a relationship of trust for me. Hannah was over for staging, Billy took exquisite photos for both print and the virtual tour, and things were listed with a showing ...all in three days ! And the house sold in one day and closed three weeks later ! I was pleasantly walked through each step, eliminating any worries. Both were available to as needed when I did have questions. And I'm thrilled to note I can now count them as advisors to me for other transactions to come. I trust and respect their work and personal ethics and look forward to our association in the future."

"When we decided it was time to sell our straw bale home here in the Eugene area, we initially wanted to sell our house without a realtor. Upon further thought, it was obvious that not only did we need a realtor to help us achieve our sales goals, but we needed the "right one".
After extensive research, we decided on the brokerage of Barnhart Associates. Being that our home was unique due to its sustainable features, we were paired with the team of Hannah and Billy Clotere due to their expertise in this growing niche, and we could not have been happier with the results.
Once we committed to them, Hannah and Billy were tireless in their efforts to get our house sold. Because of their outstanding web presence, we were rewarded with two full price offers within five days of listing the house.
Our experience with Hannah and Billy was an efficient, professional and pleasurable one. In a time when we see houses all around us sitting on the market, with prices being continually reduced, it was extremely gratifying to have our house sold almost immediately after listing. We are happy that we indeed did find the "right" realtor for our needs. They are wonderful people and did an outstanding job for us. We would recommend them to anyone who has a property to sell, especially in these tough economic times."
Sincerely,
~Daniel and Elicia Pyle
"Hannah is willing to stick with you as you slowly move toward a decision to move to Eugene. Hannah patiently showed us many homes, not only for us to learn the market, but for Hannah to better understand us and what kind of home we would want. Hannah listened to us but also watched what excited us and why.
After we made a decision on a house, Hannah was terrific at keeping us focused to get to closing. Hannah was on top of the details every day and this really made the experience much easier for us. We weren't worrying about what we had forgotten or never knew to do.
Thank you, Hannah and BIlly. We love our new home and we love Eugene."
-Mary Brooner and John Hannah
Dear Hannah & Billy,
Thank you so much for all your help in selling our house. Your marketing strategy and pricing was exactly what we needed to sell our house in a short amount of time.
If we ever make it back to Oregon, we'll give you a call.
Thanks again, Don, Lisa, Andrew & Dylan Ingman
"When I decided to sell there was no doubt in my mind who I wanted to use as a real estate agent- Hannah Clotere. She was always an energetic, friendly, cheerful person. What I didn't know was what a serious, business- minded person she was too! From the very first time I called her she was organized and efficient...her guidance and expertise with the market gave me confidence. She provided a network of skilled labor to deal with repairs and inspections... arranging contractors and schedules to get the work done as quickly and inexpensively as possible. She was really an advocate for me and the contractors were too. It was like we were all in this thing together! I will definitely use Hannah again for my next real estate sale or purchase."
-Jan Kelly
"We just had the pleasure of working with Hannah and Billy both as sellers and buyers. It´s true: Hannah and Billy really do sell homes! They sold our home in record time in a softening market. As far as we can tell, they accomplished this by just plain working harder than anyone else in the business: They took the best pictures, put together great ads, made a million phone calls, and were prompt, friendly and professional at all times.
When it came time to buy a house, Hannah and Billy made themselves available on almost no notice to see homes. And, on showing after showing, they gave us the kind of sound advice we needed. Most importantly, we felt we could call them at any time and they would always be available to help us through the process.
Hannah and Billy will be our realtors (and our friends) forever."
-Kee Zublin and Kim Robles
"My first call to a "Real Estate Broker" was Hannah. I had looked at hundreds of homes on the internet. Hannah and Billy worked with me to secure my home and met with me after regular work hours and on the weekends as well. I can not say enough about the energy this real estate team puts into action to work for both the seller and the buyer. I met the sellers and they had the same guttal experience I had. My wife and kids came across the united states to find a home in which we all could move into and love for a long time to come. Thank you Hannah and Billy. You are more than just real estate brokers you are "Our Choice for Real Estate Service - for Life. Thanks for all your work and kindness."
-David Strain and Family
"After working with other realtors who continually put me on the back burner, Hannah gave her all to finding me a house. She went the extra mile, and then some, to make sure the deal closed, even though the seller tried to pull out of the contract. She showed integrity, commitment and professionalism, sticking with me when it would have been easier to let the deal fall apart. She was awesome!"
-Eve Terran
"Our experience with Hannah and Billy was great! Almost nine years ago, we decided to buy our first house and Hannah helped us. Being first time buyers, we really didn't know a lot about the whole process. I can tell you that it really was not as hard as most people say. The process seemed to be very easy and we were extremely happy. So, when it came time to sell our first house, we were sure that this process was not going to be as easy. Well, we were wrong. After meeting with Hannah and going over what should be done to sell, we jumped right into it. It wasn't even five days of being on the market, that we had our first full price offer. The only hard part was packing. :)"
-Chris and Lisa Fuentes
"Hannah Clotere helped me sell my townhome in the South Hills of Eugene. She took care of so many of the little details that made the sale of my home a pleasure. She met with prospective buyers, presented the home at real estate meetings, and worked hard to deliver the kind of image that made my home the first to sell out of six homes for sale in the same association. She assisted me in determining what needed to be done before, during and after the sale. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing expert advice on selling your home."
-Rich Locus

My wife and I first met Hannah at an open house. Even though we probably looked much younger than most potential buyers, Hannah was the first realtor to take us seriously and really listen to our needs and preferences. She found us the perfect house in a great neighborhood.
Two years later when work required us to move, Hannah and Billy were able to sell our house quickly in a tight market and get us a price we were satisfied with.
Hannah even hepled us find a wonderful dog when another client couldn't take it to her new house!
-Sam L Portland, OR
After nearly a year of searching for a home with other agents, I found Hannah & Billy. They were responsive, professional, and experienced-- I couldn't imagine a better buyer's agent. I am so happy with the home I found with Hannah & Billy, and although I can't imagine moving I genuinely look forward to buying another house with them.
-Rob Sanders
Dear Hannah,
We also want to acknowledge the background support we received from Barnhart Associates. It was always reassuring to know that your efforts were set in the context of such a well-established and customer-friendly firm. We look forward to our move to Eugene and want you to know that we value your contribution to that move. We will recommend you and Barnhart Associates to our friends and neighbors.
-Tony Meyer and Joan Claffey
Hannah, There are no words to express my gratitude for all of your help, support, creative ideas and encouragement. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
-Leia Hart

I have always been impressed with the service they provide to the client and they really go the extra mile for everyone they work with. I think this is the major reasons why I enjoy working with them. I know the client will be taken care of and have a wonderful experience.

These are just a few of the reasons why I refer all of my clients to Hannah and Billy. Every experience that I have had with Hannah and Billy has been fantastic. They always do an outstanding job and because of that I recommend them to anyone that I can."

Hannah & Billy,
We are really happy with the home you helped us find last month. From the day we started, you were very knowledgeable and understanding. All stages of the experience, down to the smallest detail, were smooth and a pleasure as a result of your professionalism. As a first time homebuyer, your obvious experience was a godsend. I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know who is looking to buy or sell. Thank you again!

"In October I came to Eugene to visit a couple of my old high school friends. I had been looking at properties on the internet for a few months. I figured since I´d be in Eugene for a few days why not look at a few properties and see what the real estate market was doing as my wife and I had been discussing moving for quite a while. I asked my friend if he could refer me to a good real estate agent and he told me, "He had known Hannah since she was a child and that she helped him buy and sell a couple of houses and did a great job for him."
Hannah and I corresponded by email for a couple of weeks. I let her know what our needs were and they were many. We wanted a house ten to fifteen minutes outside of town. We needed to have a large shop building where we could run our mail order business: www.BeautynHealth.com from. I picked out a property I saw on the internet as my number one choice and Hannah provided us as much information as was available along with information on any comps in the area.
When I arrived in Eugene on a cold late October day, Hannah was in communication with me immediately, helping with suggestions on where to eat, where to stay and fun things to do. She took me out to see the property we were interested in on a day that showed us the tougher side of a Eugene winter. It was raining and hailing but that did not deter her from having a shining and positive attitude as she showed me different properties that she thought could meet our needs.
After falling in love with Eugene and one of the houses that I thought would be perfect for our family and business I phoned my wife and she said, "Buy it." I told her that, "She´d have to take a look at it before we could make that decision." We both came back two weeks later and Hannah took us to look at the house and others in the same price range. She was so helpful once again. We wrote up an offer that afternoon. Even though we were offering quite a bit less than the seller was asking and Hannah thought we were offering less than what the sellers might consider3;.she wrote up the offer for us anyway. The sellers didn´t accept that first offer, but, it did open up negotiations. After we went back and forth with about eight offers and counter offers we finally entered escrow. Hannah worked very hard during these hardball negotiations and always maintained a positive disposition.
After the deal completed Hannah has been in contact with us often. Not only do we now consider her and her husband Billy to be our friends, they are also a cornucopia of local information on the area which they are always happy to share with us.
I wouldn´t hesitate to have Hannah and Billy help us in the future with buying other properties in the area. In fact, I´m going to have Hannah write up an offer for us on a lot close by our new home.
Thank you again for all of your help."
