Josh Hanson

GRI, REALTOR, ABR, PSA
License Numbers: MN 40799459, ND 9139

Josh’s real estate career was inspired by the need to sell his home during the recession in 2009. He and his family were affected by the recession like many Americans and after navigating the short sale of their home with the help of a REALTOR friend, he realized he too wanted to help buyers and sellers navigate the complicated process of home buying and selling. He now aims to give the same high quality experience he received to each and every client.
Josh also brings a unique perspective to the real estate profession with his varied background. He spent many years playing rock star in his band, he owned a landscape company, and he owned and operated a couple of independent coffee shops in San Diego called The Bean Box before starting his real estate career in 2011. A Moorhead native, he lived in California 16 years before moving back to the Fargo-Moorhead area in 2012 with his wife & children. He is an Associate Broker with NextHome Legendary Properites and is the Manager of the Fargo office. He is licensed in both North Dakota and Minnesota. He services Fargo, West Fargo, Moorhead, & surrounding areas.
In 2018 Josh was awarded the highly acclaimed national Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI) designation. In 2021 he was nominated for REALTOR® of the Year with the Fargo-Moorhead Association REALTORS® “A real estate transaction is likely to be biggest financial decision a person will ever make and they deserve to have a REALTOR® they can trust. My goal is to simplify the home buying & selling process and to go above & beyond expectations for each and every client!”-Josh Hanson

Josh was the best person to work with. He was super patient with the whole process, from start to finish, and even after we closed.

Shaina Pilgram recommends Josh Hanson

Josh was fantastic to work with! He was extremely knowledgeable, not just with the realty aspect. We were looking for something we could put a little sweat equity into and he had estimates of most of the things that would need to be done to give us a good idea of what we were looking at. One home had some foundation issues that I did not see, but he did. We wanted to put an offer on the home but before we did, Josh got his inspector on a video call to look at the foundation and had another colleague go to the home with him to do a deep dive in ALL of the issues.. we did not follow through on that home, but moving forward we knew Josh really had our best interest in mind. I would recommend Josh to anyone!! He made the process so easy and helped us get in a home we are so excited about!

Eric Thompson recommends Josh Hanson

I have moved many times in my life. When my wife and I wished to return to the Fargo Moorhead area we were fortunate to find Josh Hanson to assist us.
He is a kind, conscientious and straightforward individual. He was able to correctly assess our situation and desired home type and provide good options with every tour. He was always professional and easy to work with, even when we would surprise him with last minute new properties to evaluate. He is honest, responsive to questions and can help narrow things down with a fresh perspective. He's also a great guy with a good sense of humor which improves any life situation. Highest regards for this realtor which we highly recommend!!!!
