    Testimonials

    I would highly recommend HGR Graham Partners for all your legal real estate services. My husband and myself were extremely happy dealing with Josh. He helped with our closing of our properties on time. Josh is very knowledgeable and efficient when it comes to all your real estate needs. We also loved working with Kassandra, she was very helpful and made sure that we received all our real estate documents on time. Thank you both for everything.

    Upon trying to secure a mortgage with an A Lender, we ran into a few problems and with the help of Sara Parsons and Michael Hanton, we managed to overcome a few ( many) hurdles. Sara went above and beyond to make this happen, answering and asking questions to help us calm down in a situation that would have been difficult ( and impossible) to navigate by ourselves! Thank you to this team!

    Recently had the pleasure of dealing with Michael and his associate Sara. I can not express how much I appreciated their professionalism and efficiency. I will not hesitate to use them again, and would have no hesitation in referring them to anyone else. Thanks again Michael and Sara. :)

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.

    We recently used HGR Graham Partners for our home sale/purchase. Michael Hanton and Jasmine Wilander were both fantastic to work with, responsive and made sure that we were informed on the entire process from start to finish. Highly recommended!

    We engaged Joshua Matson for advice on purchasing land through a tax sale. Josh brings not only his law experience but also a background in engineering. He was personable, a good listener, responsive, knowledgeable, and in the end very helpful. We would highly recommend him.

    Michael was very informative in sharing the process, time lines, estimated costs and unique aspects of an interval purchase. Kim the law clerk was also helpful in keeping us informed and confirming process and receipt of funds.

    I attended a mediation session to settle some conflicting issues regarding my late father's estate. Greg Evans made the process easy, comfortable and made me feel heard. By choosing mediation, we were able to settle all disputes in a timely manner and there were no court costs! I would highly recommend mediation.
