When we first started our home search during this super competitive market it was extremely daunting, especially as first time homebuyers. With the help from Hailey and Morgan, our stresses were relieved and they made the whole transaction as smooth as possible. They are well-versed in the residential market and are personable and strong negotiators. They helped us find our dream home off-market and we couldn’t be happier. I know that they work hard for their clients and I trust their extensive knowledge of the market.

I have both bought and sold a home with John Hathorn. John knows what to do. Even when the stakes are high with multiple buyers, John can get the purchase price below the Seller’s list price! He leverages his relationship with the listing agent and gets the deal to go my way. Seems like John knows all the right realtors and they know, trust and respect him, as do I. John works very well with the escrow to keep me informed and makes sure things get done promptly. I highly recommend having John in your corner next time you want to buy or sell!”

It can be daunting to sell a property, let alone your childhood family home. When it came time to hire a realtor, there was no doubt I would hire John Hathorn and his team as he had sold my grandmother’s home several decades earlier and my parents loved John! Over the years he was always helpful to my mom and dad and advised them on all real estate matters. This year John helped guide me though the probate sale process and made the whole transaction as easy as possible. John was able to predict how the market would react to the home. We received multiple offers, just as John said we would, and

John Hathorn and his colleagues knocked it outta the park for us! When my family decided it was time to sell my parent’s third generation one-family home, we put a team together that included John. He created a plan that would allow us to sell the mostly original 90 year old house without having to worry about inspections or dreaded Buyer renegotiations or disagreements during escrow. The strategy gave us the peace of mind that we wanted and after a 2-week marketing period (that included a cover photo and a feature story in a widely read magazine), we were delighted to receive 10 purchase offers

Well that was easy! John Hathorn, Morgan Hathorn and their Pence Hathorn Silver team helped me sell my Santa Monica condo for top dollar with minimal hassle...during a pandemic! They were able to obtain and negotiate multiple offers and we closed escrow in just two weeks. Since I live out of state, they even managed to arrange so that I did not need to deal with moving out my furniture.

With the Covid-19 situation, I really didn't know what to expect, but I never thought the whole process would be wrapped up in less than a month! I am more than happy to recommend John and Morgan Hathorn

Awful condescending real estate agents. Agents are constantly sued for fraud. I would not work with them.

As a fellow Realtor I just wanted to thank John for brining a great buyer to purchase one of my listing! He stayed calm in a few bumps we had in the transaction. Flexible , a good listener ,absolutely never had his ego involved. He helped me to help his buyer and my seller to feel that we all were working together!

We had the pleasure of working with John Hathorn in selling our Duplex in Santa Monica earlier this year. It was a complicated property to sell, but John and his team worked diligently until they found the right buyer. John is a seasoned professional, responsive and a pleasure to work with. Most importantly, he earned our trust. We've already recommended him to friends and family and will continue to do so for years to come.

Two thumbs up for John Hathorn! He sold our house much quicker than we had anticipated and at full asking price. Correct pricing is the key to marketing a house in Santa Monica and John's decades of experience helping clients buy and sell homes in this area allowed him to perfectly position our home. He also draws on the knowledgeable partners and staff of Pence Hathorn Silver to prepare the house for marketing and to connect to potential buyers. John is very easy to work with and has a very reassuring style which is comforting in a time of stress for both buyer and seller. Overall,

We have worked with many realtors, and I am confident in stating that John's years of experience and track record of successful transactions really set him apart. John saw the unique magic and beauty in our house and in the process we fell back in love with the home and decided not to sell. We ended up leasing it out for a couple of years instead. In that time John continued to consult us and once we were ready to commit he brought it to market it and executed the sale in a way that nobody else would have had the creativity to do. We ended up selling the home $400,000 over asking. I knew

Esther Hickman was a blessing to our home buying journey, what could have just been a mundane experience became a valuable experience thanks to the generosity and incredible professionalism she showed at every stage of the process. In what can be a chaotic and competitive market in Los Angeles, she protected us at every opportunity and was always available to address our concerns thoroughly.

Great people honest and fair. Informational and friendly. Super clean office. I appreciated the level of professionalism.
The location was very easy to find and parking was a bit congested but not that big of a deal. I will do business with them.

John and his partners have been so incredible to work with. He is up to date on the all the on and 'off the market' properties and opportunities. Both my brothers and my sister have had John represent us in multiple purchase and sales buying and selling properties for the last couple of years. He is our official family realtor! He is so precise and personable when it comes to your wants and needs. John and everyone at Pence Hathorn Silver / Partners Trust are so on top of things and responsive when it comes to this lengthy and complicated process. John and his team is the only way to

I've worked with John for over 20 years on multiple transactions, since he helped me sell my first house. John and Pence Hathorn Silver are amazing.John knows his stuff. He is honest and accessible and a wealth of information. He has gone above and beyond, even giving me names of contractors, plumbers, etc. His group - Pence Hathorn Silver is known as the best in their market. They are the go to team and I would highly recommend them any day."

John has been my real estate wingman for 2 decades; through 6 transactions. Some of those transactions were challenging because of 1031 exchanges, crazy tenants, etc., but John maintained his sense of equanimity throughout. I can't say the same about myself, but this is supposed to be about John. It speaks volumes about him that we even remain on speaking terms... I can recommend him most highly as an honest, hard-working Realtor, with an excellent knowledge base. The PHS office staff is also superb, friendly, very competent, and fun to work with.

We first met John at an open house years ago when we were looking to buy a home in Santa Monica.

Coming from the UK we had many questions and concerns and John was patient and thorough in explaining the process and showing us properties that he thought might suit us. Buying and selling a home is a complex and fraught process by definition, and he provided a calm and logical approach in some very difficult situations. Our options were clearly explained and we felt at all times that he battled our corner when the easy option would have been to push the sale though without further negotiations.

John and his staff recently helped me make my single-family home purchase in the North of Montana (90402) neighborhood in Santa Monica. I have had lots of challenges with real estate agents in the past, and I just say, John and his staff at Partners Trust were professional, responsive, and knew the process and the area. John and his team focused on getting the deal done, and when we closed,were kind enough to lease out my condo. This process was also white-glove - they showed the condo, marketed it, helped with performing credit checks, the works!

We highly recommend John Hathorn and his team. He impressed us right from the beginning when we were interviewing for an agent. He is deeply knowledgeable about the area, and presented us with a thorough and well thought out sales plan. He provided us with very helpful advice as we prepared our house and set the price. We were in a difficult market and it took a number of months to sell the property, and John worked hard for us, holding regular open houses and showings. He checked in with us regularly and he kept us apprised of interested buyers and then worked with us to assess and respond

Mainly serving the uber-pricey "north of Montana" area of Santa Monica which, if you can afford, you probably are not spending time on yelp.

But the agents are all respectable, trustworthy, and ethical and the office staff are extremely helpful especially the office manager.

If you are looking to purchase a multi-million dollar home in Santa Monica, this is the place to go for assistance.
