John Blom – Hasson Company Realtors

Even though my house search ultimately wasn’t successful (the short sale took too long), I had a good experience with John and would recommend him. He always took the time to respond to my questions, to drive around and check out houses on my behalf (since I was out of town), and give his input on every house I sent him (and there were quite a few).

John Blom really stands out as a top notch realtor. He assisted my husband and me during our relocation from CA to WA. He really knows the southern WA & Portland markets. He is super responsive at all times of the day and night, very on top of the myriad of details during the transaction, a good negotiator and a pleasure to be with. John has an in depth knowledge of all aspects of real estate and related topics.
John has a great sense of humor and has a very calming personality. Both of these qualities go very far when dealing with a real estate transaction which can be so stressful and fraught with emotions!
I was a realtor for several years and have very high expectations when it comes to working with realtors. John not only met all of my expectations but he exceeded them! I highly recommend John!

Up until meeting John, we never had a good experience with a realtor. He is focused on building a relationship while getting to know your needs. He is attentive, quick to respond, and digs deep when needed to make sure all bases are covered.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’d rate John more than 5 stars if I could. Most importantly — we ended up with a great family friend. Thanks John for helping us find our dream home!

John Blom did a fabulous job assisting in making Oregon a home for my family and I. He worked with us to quickly understand what we were looking for in a home and showed us several homes across multiple areas to ensure we had a good sense for what our budget could accommodate against our «must-​haves» list. The good schools and Bull Mountain views ultimately landed us in Tigard.
Some additional details:
Excellent guide: John understands the areas very well and after spending time asking some questions and showing properties was able to narrow our search to only relevant homes making the process efficient.
Professional: John is a professional and expert in his field. He clearly understands and articulates well what the market is doing which is especially valuable in this chaotic real estate environment.
Negotiator: John provided an informed perspective to the negotiation process that made both sides of the deal comfortable while ensuring we got the best deal we could’ve on the home we chose.
Prompt: John returned calls and emails in exceptional time frames.
Personality: John has a great personality and made the process stress free and enjoyable.
I really hope not to need a real estate agent anytime soon, but I’ll definitely use John if that opportunity presents itself!

Aristotle said, «Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.» John Blom is obviously a student of Aristotle as he was the best real estate agent I ever had the pleasure of working with. Although he had to constantly battle my obsessive-​compulsiveness and fixation on details, he managed to maintain a great attitude through nearly half a year of insane house-​hunting. His plethora of talents include the ability to neatly pull together all appropriate details from searching through closing, an amazing aptitude for researching homes, a great baby-​holder/​kid-​watcher and always willing to bravely lead the way into a questionably dark basement. Not to mention, he’s a sharp dresser, has a charming wife, and is smart as a whip.
We looked at houses from Estacada to Camas and back to Portland and John’s obvious love of his job made our search quite fun and entertaining. There was never a dull moment with him, from the day we met to the moment in which he handed over the key to our dream home. And although I was quite certain he’d change his phone number and move his office to a new location once we were finished, much to my delight, he still checks in on us on occasion and we are thrilled to welcome him into our home.
I’ve been through many real-​estate agents and John was the only one I have ever worked with who could match his ability with my needs. I *almost* can’t wait to buy another house!
