"You can't meet Hannah without immediately knowing everything is going to be OK. Under the best of circumstances, finding and buying a home is stressful and challenging. The Austin real estate market is unlike anything my wife and I have ever encountered. Hannah is patient, professional, knowledgable and a wonderful mix of guru and semi-secret weapon to help navigate Austin real estate. In a word, she's extraordinary. "-Dave Casper

"First time homeowner and was absolutely clueless about the whole process. Needed a new build fast and Hannah helped me through the process and was able to help me close in a month. Hannah still available to help answer questions post buying. Highly recommend!"-Stephanie Wangui

"I am so thankful for our experience with Hannah as our agent. This was our first home buying experience and she took the time to educate us on the process. Her approach in how we looked at houses and narrowed down to find our interests was so comforting. She allowed us the space to explore and called attention to things (like cracks or condition of equipment) that i never thought about. She allowed us the space to find what we were looking for while guiding us the entire time. We purchased a house with foundation issues and she went above and beyond to ensure we were educated and knew the risks before purchasing. She was able to negotiate a great price because if this. We are forever grateful for Hannah! "-Elyse Greenberg

"I cannot recommend working with Hannah Vaughan and the team at Compass enough!! Not only was Hannah extremely helpful in narrowing our list of items that were important to us in a house, she made herself very available to go look at all the listings when it was convenient for us. Additionally, we ran into some minor problems after close with a leak in the new house and Hannah has been instrumental in offering advice and solutions. Thank you for everything!! !"- Anna G.

"We worked with Hannah Vaughn to sell our NW Austin house. She was referred to us by a friend who also used her to sell their house. We found Hannah to be trustworthy, knowledgeable and helpful during every step of our journey. In a crazy Austin housing market, she helped us to understand what we might expect - and not expect. Then, when we moved across the country - she found us another exceptional agent to buy a house! She went above, beyond and then.....beyond that! We cannot endorse her enough - and hope to remain in contact with her for years to come. !"- Trish H.

"Hannah was absolutely wonderful to work with. We bought and sold our house in Austin with her and when we recently sold, Hannah helped us through several trials and tribulations with an extremely difficult buyer. Hannah went above and beyond to help us stage the home, check-in when we were out of town, and worked late and on weekends when we ran into issues with our buyer. We closed last week on our terms and Hannah helped us successfully negotiate the deal we wanted with this buyer. I can’t thank Compass and Hannah enough, it was a pleasure. !"- Emily B.

"As of 4pm today we no longer own our beloved Breeze Terrace home. We get to live here for the next few weeks, while we pack up our lives--but the sweet house we have called home for 15 years, and owned for 20 years, now has a new person ready to love it and fill it with joyous memories. We were thrilled to have our longtime friend Hannah Swenson Vaughan shepherd us through the process of listing our home in this wackadoo market. Hannah was a calm presence ready to reply to any frantic text I sent--she is zero judgment and all wisdom in her handling of the jangly nerves that come with such a big transaction. If you are thinking of dipping your toes into either buying or selling your Austin home we wholeheartedly recommend Hannah Vaughan--and we hope you find a house that makes you even just a fraction as happy as our Breezy T abode has made us. !"- Nora D.

"Hannah was great, and she was patient working with an older woman. She always answered the phone when I called with a question. I could not have had anyone better helping me. Hannah made the entire process of selling my home of 15 years very easy. I would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. !"- Betty B.
★★★★★
"Working with Hannah was fantastic! My expectations were far exceeded by her dedication and work ethic. The horrible snow and ice storm did not stop or even slow her down from my perspective. Hannah is by far the most professional Realtor I have ever worked with. Hannah is the type of person we always hope to deal with in any type of transaction, but it very rarely works out that way. She gets 10 out of 10 in my book, and if I ever need a Realtor again, I would not settle for anyone else but Hannah. !"- Bucky H.
★★★★★
"Hannah just sold my best friend's house and handled some very personal items related to the transaction in the most respectful way. She was holding her fiduciary duty to the highest standard! !"- Tricia S.
★★★★★
"Hannah is the best, hands down. She knows the market, listens deeply to what you need and want, and is a genuinely kind person. I loved working with her and highly recommend her. !"- Karen S.

"Hannah Vaughan helped us sell our home in 2018. She was very patient, well informed, and kind throughout. We had a lot of complicating factors to navigate during the process (she helped us find the perfect rental property and negotiated that on our behalf as well), and she was always clear-headed and calm. When we finally got a solid offer on our home, she was genuinely happy and excited for us. It's a very intense process, selling a home that you have lived a lot of your life in. You want someone you can trust with that. I would (and have!) recommended her to others. !"- Amy A.
★★★★★
"Looking for an investment property in the Austin housing market was overwhelming. Hannah came highly recommended and was immediately responsive when we reached out, as she was throughout the process. Thanks to her deep knowledge of the housing and rental market, her ability to ask the right questions, and her honest input on potential purchases, she quickly narrowed our search window. We ended up with a great deal on the perfect rental, which has had a low vacancy and steady appreciation. !"- Sarah + Dillon B.

"In early 2017 my wife Emily and I decided it was time to buy our first house. We were fairly intimidated by the Austin market and really needed someone who could help us through the process. We decided that Hannah would be a great choice for us based on her understanding of the Austin market and her easy-going demeanor. Hannah listened to what we wanted and helped us to develop a realistic understanding of what we should expect to find within our budget. Hannah was always available to answer questions or show us a house. We closed in the summer of 2017 on our favorite house that we looked at over several months. Hannah's patience and guidance were essential. Hannah's service doesn't end after closing either. Hannah is still in regular contact about tax issues, contractor referrals, and many other issues that arise with home ownership. I am very happy that Hannah is my Realtor and I can't recommend her enough. !"- Shannon S.
Hannah brings a unique experience and knowledge of construction, remodeling, and investment, which she loves to share with her clients. Growing up in Portland, in an older neighborhood undergoing enormous change (like many Austin neighborhoods), she saw first hand how a house could grow with its owners and, if done right, become a valuable investment.
Inspired by the hands-on process of remodeling, after graduating from college, she worked in residential remodeling (yes, she swung a hammer). In 2000 she moved to Austin to pursue her master’s degree in historic preservation/architectural history at the University of Texas. Similar to many one-time students, she fell in love with the city and decided to stay and purchase her first house, which eventually became the beginning of a rental portfolio. She lives with her husband, two kids, and two dogs in a 1962 home, purchased from the original owner, which is a source of joy and continuous projects!
Hannah is a consummate professional, a prodigious listener, a patient partner, and a calm but tough negotiator. Whether you purchased your home with Hannah or not, she is always happy to provide referrals, consultations, and help with strategic planning when it comes to Real Estate.
