Selling a home in Hanson
Hanson began as the west parish of Pembroke and became its own town in 1820. It was named for Alexander Contee Hanson, a Maryland newspaper publisher and U.S. Senator. Ponds, woods and cranberry bogs still shape the town, and buyers come for the train station and larger lots.
I’m John Fortes, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Synergy, and I help Hanson owners sell their homes. I walk the house, check the septic and water details for your address, and lay out a clear plan. You can learn more about how I work on my South Shore home selling page.

Neighborhoods and areas
Locals know Hanson by its villages, including Hanson Center, North Hanson, South Hanson, Bryantville, Monponsett and Burrage. Homes near the ponds and homes on wooded lots sell differently. That is why I price from sales close to yours.
Hanson has many ponds, including Oldham, Indian Head, Maquan and Wampatuck, where Town Hall sits near the shore. The Burrage Pond Wildlife Management Area covers about 1,625 acres, mostly in South Hanson, with trails along old cranberry bogs. Hanson has no ocean beach.
Hanson provides town water from its own treatment plant, four wells and one storage tank. The town has no sewer, so homes use septic systems. A 2026 transfer station sticker costs $83.

Hanson is part of the Whitman-Hanson Regional School District. Indian Head Elementary School serves kindergarten to grade 4, and Hanson Middle School serves grades 5 to 8, both in Hanson.

Reasons to sell in Hanson
The worry, then how I help.
Upsizing
You do not want to sell before the next house is set.
I map the dates so you are not stuck with two payments or nowhere to go.
A multi-family
Tenants may still be in the home, and you are ready to sell.
I follow the lease and the law, and I do not promise that a tenant will leave.
Needs work
The house needs work and you do not want to renovate first.
I price it as it stands, and that opinion is not a home inspection.
Inherited
You inherited a house and you are not sure what you can do yet.
I coordinate with your estate attorney, and I do not give legal advice.
A condo
Fees, reserves, or the rules can surprise a buyer.
I read those before we set a price.
Buy and sell
You need to sell one home and buy the next.
I put both dates on paper before we list.
How I help sellers
From the first call through closing, you deal with me.
Pricing
I price from recent sales and the repairs that pay you back, and this is my opinion, not an appraisal.
Prep
I give you a short prep list and introduce vendors that you hire and pay yourself.
Negotiation
I negotiate price, dates, and inspection terms, and I keep my list to 6 to 8 so I have the time.
Closing
A transaction coordinator keeps the file moving, and you still talk to me.

Gas lines do not reach every street, so I check service for your address.
