On Google, David Hansen sits at 4.9 stars from 63 ratings, and the recent comments keep circling the same job: helping regular people through a home purchase or sale without leaving them to decode the process alone. The Milford-based realtor behind Golden Rule Realty is hired for first-home purchases, condo buys, home listings, and relocation moves around southern New Hampshire. The clearest through-line is patient, step-by-step guidance. Recent first-time buyers say he answered “many, many questions,” explained each stage as it happened, and stayed available when the paperwork got heavy. A June 2026 buyer says he found an off-market property after a long search, a July 2026 seller who had already moved away says he handled the listing and helped sell quickly, and an April 2026 family moving from California on sudden PCS orders wrote that he was helpful, informative, and easy to communicate with during a stressful move. Sellers describe the same kind of support from the other side of the table: honest suggestions, close attention to details, and regular contact through closing. That theme is not limited to one season. Reviews from 2024 and 2025 also describe quick responses, practical advice, and help with both buying and selling, including a condo purchase and a same-agent sell-and-buy move. A handful of five-star posts are from other agents and transaction partners, who say closings are smooth and communication on the other side is clear. The one clear complaint is older but specific. In a 2023 Google review, one person said a Sunday open house was canceled without notice, wasting a trip. That does not match the much newer praise for communication, but it is still worth asking how showing changes, open houses, and last-minute schedule shifts will be communicated. It is also fair to separate homeowner reviews from agent-to-agent endorsements when you read through his page. He makes the most sense for first-time buyers who want explanation at each step, sellers juggling a move, and shoppers trying to find something narrow or hard to catch on-market. Before you sign, confirm how he handles scheduling updates and what contact rhythm you can expect once an offer is live and the closing timeline gets tight.
It has been a year since we purchased our first home and I would not have wanted any other realtor, and will continue to choose David for future home selling and buying needs. The communication was stellar and the patience to educate us was critical. With the incredible knowledge and experience that David has, it allowed us to be strategic in this market. His connections were immensely helpful when it came to sourcing trusted loan officer and inspector. I am so thankful we used Golden Rule Realty and I will continue to recommend to others!
We moved out the state before our house was listed. David provided us tremendous help with the listing and selling our house quickly. His knowledge of the market, honest suggestions, great clear communication, and hard work are greatly appreciated. Highly recommended. Thanks David
David was on top of all the details and explained everything to us so we understood the process as it was happening and knew what to expect. Honestly, our expectations were exceeded.
Dave was an outstanding realtor to work with for my first home purchase. His representation was clearly in my best interest. He helped me understand each step of the process and options I had, fielding many, many questions. He was consistently available, quickly responsive, and proactive in reaching out to me. His service was excellent and I highly recommend him.
As first time home buyers looking for a uniquely specific property, we had watched the market for a long time without a realtor. Once we started working with Dave, his expertise was a huge relief and help. He found us an off-the-market property that matches the bill wonderfully and we love. He was thorough in helping us understand every step and know our options. I highly recommend him as an honest, communicative advocate for your home buying process.
