About Charlene
My 30+ years’ experience as an appraiser and real estate broker allows me to achieve outstanding value results for those I represent. Clear communication and ongoing education with clients ensure that each transaction proceeds smoothly and with confidence. While I have a particular passion for guiding first-time homebuyers, a significant portion of my business comes from referrals and repeat clients.
I am honored to have been recognized by satisfied clients with the “Five Star Real Estate Agent” award, as featured in Seattle magazine, for 14 consecutive years (2012–2025). I’ve also obtained the MCNE (Master Certified Negotiation Expert) and ASP (Accredited Staging Professional) designations.
As a lifelong Pacific Northwest resident, I enjoy family activities, gardening, and painting kindness rocks. I’ve been active in several community service initiatives including Big Sister (BBBS program), coordinated holiday giving efforts, served community meals, and support the Michael J. Fox Parkinson’s Foundation

Charlene's Reviews

Charlene knows so much that I have become a realtor guru to my friends. First, buying a home made me anxious and Charlene greeted every house with a calmness that alleviated my tension. Second, she understands realty law better than any of my friends' realtors. She is so good, that I have told some of my friends the rules Charlene taught me and their realtors have been wrong about important things. Third, she has amazing contacts who also are better than all the others we saw. An example: the house inspection company she used provided the most thorough work with great attitudes at the same price as others we have seen. Finally, Charlene was willing to work with homeowners that other realtors weren't -- which gave us more opportunities to look at homes we liked.
We were forced to buy during the days of Covid -- Charlene navigated the regulations and upheld exemplary standards to keep us all safe. She is amazing! But now, how do we say bye? She helped my family find our dream home and we can't even hug her!

Charlene is an agent that I will never tire of recommending. She has helped us with buying two houses and selling one. She works so incredibly hard on our behalf. Does ample amount of research, puts all her contacts (and she has many) to use and overall rolls up her sleeves to do what she has to do to be the best real estate agent. Charlene is thoughtful, kind, and more often than naught, she surprises us with little gestures that show she is always thinking about and caring for us.
I recommend Charlene Hanson without hesitation. She will work hard for you, respect you and help you be successful in the real estate world

Charlene has completed multiple transactions for us. Nobody works harder than her. Always available to speak with. Communication is best in the business. Thank you!
