Very good
Recommended without reservation
A Chanhassen-office broker-owner with a genuine lake-property niche and real, verifiable reviews behind him.
Pros
- ✓Works directly out of the Chanhassen RE/MAX office, with an owner's stake in outcomes rather than a hired-on associate
- ✓Verifiable review record across two platforms: 4.92★ (48 reviews) on Google and 4.75★ (16 reviews) on Zillow, 4.88★ combined (64 reviews)
- ✓Personal focus on lake and waterfront property is a real fit for Chanhassen's Lotus Lake and nearby lake-metro buyers
- ✓Backed by a small team for coverage and responsiveness rather than working entirely solo
- ✓Also handles investment-property and new-construction clients
Cons
- ✗Being part of a team means a client may work with a teammate for parts of a transaction rather than Hall personally throughout
- ✗Review volume (64 combined) is solid but modest next to the largest-volume Twin Cities teams
- ✗Public sources don't publish an independent years-licensed figure for Hall himself, only the team's self-reported ~32 combined years
Agent overview
Michael Hall co-owns the Hancock Real Estate Group out of RE/MAX Advantage Plus's Chanhassen office (7811 Great Plains Blvd). He lives on nearby Lake Waconia and has built his practice around lake and beach properties in the southwest Minneapolis metro, alongside standard residential buy/sell and investment-property work.
Core specialties
Lake & waterfront property
Hall lives on Lake Waconia himself, giving him firsthand experience with lakeshore ownership issues — docks, riparian rights, well/septic — that come up around Chanhassen's lakes.
New construction & investment property
The Hancock Group lists new construction and residential investment property among its core specialties, relevant for buyers building in Chanhassen's newer developments.
Commission & fees
Not publicly listed; typically negotiable
Who this agent is for
Lakeshore and lake-adjacent buyers
Anyone buying or selling near Lotus Lake or a nearby metro lake benefits from Hall's personal familiarity with lake-property specifics.
Buyers comfortable with a team model
Clients fine with a teammate stepping in for some showings or paperwork get more overall responsiveness in exchange.
Not for
Buyers who want one agent personally handling every single showing and call, with zero teammate involvement, may prefer a true solo practitioner.
Verdict
A well-documented, evidence-backed pick for Chanhassen-area lake or investment property — just go in aware you're hiring a small team, not a lone operator.
