Hannah Hillyard, Realtor®, MBA, CLHMS, MILLION DOLLAR GUILD, LLC

Hannah Hillyard of Michael Saunders & Company sold our home in Holmes Beach quickly and efficiently.  Hannah arranged an attractive video and wrote enticing verbiage for display on the internet.  She created a colorful brochure and placed advertising for our home in prominent spots in our local newspaper.  Through Michael Saunders & Company, Hannah had contact with international buyers and locally her network of potential buyers is impressive.  She is very organized and took care of such details as making copies of our survey.  When she talked with a developer, she was prepared with the information they would want.The following are examples of how Hannah goes “over the top” and becomes the best of the best:We are a retired couple, selling our home of forty years and moving to an assisted living community.  Throughout the process, Hannah has been sensitive and empathetic to the stress that involves.During the recent flooding in Arkansas, Hannah had to fly home to attend to her family and family property.  But during the short time she was away, she kept watch on the activity involved with our house and called us frequently.Now the house is sold, Hannah is still helping us. She is spending her personal time going with us to the assisted living facility.  She listens to their salespeople and asks the questions we don’t know to ask.  She is coordinating movers and putting us in touch with other professionals who will help. Hannah is using her personal goodness to see that this transition is stress-free for us.During our long lives in business and personal contacts, Hannah Hillyard ranks with the very best for professionalism and character.

The phrase “show me the money” comes to mind… remember that movie with Tom Cruise as the football agent (chic-flick)?  You have shown me the money! I want to thank you and Hannah for all of your hard work and patience with both me and Greg over the last 9 months.  Working with Michael Saunders has been a totally professional engagement.  I am happy with the outcome, and I believe we have two very happy Buyers. 

Hannah was nice, well spoken but As a real estate agent you also have to disclose everything on a property you’re selling. Well being first time home buyers you would hope you could trust the real estate agent selling the house and that you’d be told everything, good and bad about the property. We will now know in the future Not to trust so easily, Hannah didn’t disclose everything about the house we bought, good and bad, and what it implicated, being a homeowner herself. Very disappointed. Won’t trust Michael Saunders company ever again.

George Myers and Hannah Hillyard did a great job handling the sale of our beach vacation home on Anna Maria.  They were completely professional in every aspect in getting us to the finish line.  Most of all, George and Hannah communicated with us on a regular basis, which was a breath of fresh air after our unsuccessful experience with another agent.  We were very satisfied with their work! 

Selling your family home of 20+ years is a huge life changer. I embarked on my own, on this stressful, emotional journey with Hannah. She is my realtor of choice due to her empathy, integrity and her outstanding business acumen. Hannah communicates promptly on each small or large point of the process which has helped ease any concerns. I highly recommend her!

It was a pleasure to work with Hannah on the sale of our Island property. She brought a great attitude and lots of energy to prepping and marketing our property. She was very attentive and made sure the buyers and their reps had all the information they needed to make the sale and closing go smoothly. We very much enjoyed working with Hannah.

"Hannah was very helpful with our long distance purchase of a property. She was extremely responsive to all of our many questions. She is also very pleasant to spend time with!" user85985390 102 Cedar Ave, Anna Maria, FL 34216

Once we decided to purchase a home on Anna Maria Island, we searched for a real estate agent partner that has familiarity with exclusive homes and knows the market. Hannah’s experience stood out. During our first phone call, it was clear why people enjoy working with Hannah so much. She is an absolute professional. When we arrived in Anna Maria, Hannah had made all of the arrangements to view homes, as would be expected. But, as we traveled from home to home, she had researched every home to the smallest details. As we looked at numerous beautiful homes, she provided great counsel considering important factors for enjoyment, investment and location. She was able to present positives and negatives of every house, many that were not obvious on the surface. As we traveled around the island, Hannah clearly knows the market. She knew trends in the market, and what areas maintain value the best. After selecting a house, Hannah took the lead and guided us through negotiation with a great result. After the purchase was completed, Hannah was able to put us in touch with vendors around the island in different trades that are also very professional. It should be noted, that when we worked with Hannah, we got the bonus of working with George. He brings the same professionalism, with a little different perspective, which was great. We are thankful to have worked with Hannah and would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking to find the right home on Anna Maria Island.

"Hannah was amazing to work with. Very professional and handled many tasks that were very challenging. I applaud her grace, knowledge and ability to overcome obstacles." -S. Young

Hannah was a joy to work with, she acted as our buyer's agent and came very well recommended. Hannah, listened and understood the type of property we were looking for. She helped us achieve a deal despite a large gap between buyer and seller. Hannah is professional, diligent, communicates extremely well and went above and beyond any other residential realtor I have worked with. I am a busy out of state professional and working with Hannah made our transaction easier all the way, I can only give her the best recommendation possible as I believe good people and service should be acknowledged. I hope Hannah will remain a friend as we find our way with our new beach property in Anna Maria Island, she is an amazing local resource.mwright0746000 Marina Dr Holmes Beach, FL 34217

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Hannah! She was highly proactive right through to the closing. Hannah’s patience, professionalism, and personalization, makes it very simple for us to highly recommend her!

Hannah was amazing to work with! She genuinely cares about finding the perfect fit for you. She was very patient with us showing us numerous listings on multiple occasions. We were purchasing from out of state and she went above and beyond to make the experience smooth and stress free. Her communication was excellent. She was knowledgeable, organized, efficient, honest, and quick to respond. She was there when we couldn’t be and we fully trusted her to act on our behalf when it was needed. She has a great network of professionals to utilize which made things much easier for us being out of state. As a bonus, we got to know her husband George (also a realtor) and his perspective was very helpful. He also went above and beyond. We appreciate them both immensely. They made the process so much fun! We consider Hannah and George our first FL friends. I definitely recommend Hannah for any of your real estate needs. We have had numerous experiences with agents thru the years and she is simply the BEST. We look forward to working with her again in the future. 

Thank you Hannah for your excellent work! We believe you truly represent the level of expertise that is expected of a first rate real estate agent. From the start we had high expectations of working with you and Michael Saunders and Company. We had heard wonderful reviews of the company and believed they would afford us truly professional service. By selecting Hannah we were impressed with her attention and commitment to our sale. These are challenging times and the pandemic certainly created some obstacles to a speedy sale. Hannah was persistent and brought us, strong buyers. The marketing effort was first rate and we always felt that our home was front and center in the public eye. Hannah is a truly hardworking agent and always made it her priority to attend the multiple showings and educate possible buyers as to the merits of our home. We are truly impressed and are so pleased we worked with Hannah Hillyard at Michael Saunders and Company. Thanks so much! Kind Regards, Cheryl Jorgensen
