After several years of back and forth decision making, my partner and I decided to buy a house this past month. Dill has been there through it all, despite our wishy-washy nature.
While Dill was excellent in the home-seeking stage of the process, she was amazing after the contract was agreed to! I never knew how valuable an agent could be post-contract, but Dill showed me that this is where great agents shine most!
Dill facilitated the process from start to finish and was an advocate for us throughout the inspection and negotiation stages. She had fantastic advice every step of the way, and her knowledge, enthusiasm, and responsiveness took a great deal of the stress off my family.
We wouldn't ever consider changing agents, and anyone would be lucky to have Dill in their corner!
Jamis has excellent communication skills and helped us work through some challenges with the projects.
We started the process of selling our home in the winter by reaching out to Jamis Minnis at Living Room Realty. She responded to us very quickly and was able to explain what work and marketing skills she had. She made some recommendations for minor repairs to prep our house for sale so we could get the optimal price. The whole process took several months from start to finish and most of the time was focused on completing some drywall, flooring, and painting all within our repairs budget. We were so impressed with the interview and subsequent meetings that we decided to sign with Jamis prior to our final photoshoot of the house which she scheduled. Jamis has excellent communication skills and helped us work through some challenges with the projects. In the end, we sold our house in April which was a seamless and well-guided process. Much of the communication between agents was transparent and Jamis helped keep a timeline for all outstanding steps for completion. We were so grateful for finding Jamis Minnis. We recommend you interview and hire Jamis Minnis because she works so hard to help you achieve your goals.
We recently bought and moved to our dream home in the country.
This would not have been possible had it not been for Martin Cross of Living Room Realty. Of course we had a list of "must haves", "really would be nice ifs", "wishful wants" and plain unrealistic desires. A pretty long list with lots of specifics. After looking at place after place that kept missing the mark - even though most were great properties - we almost gave up looking and were ready to settle, just to be done with things. Martin completely held our proverbial hands through the whole process. He didn't let us settle for less than what we wanted and encouraged us to not give up.
My husband and I hired Aaron as our REALTOR® in the process of finding and buying a home in Portland, OR.
Our goal was to find our forever home (30+ years) within the city limits. That made us nervous as we come from a state where the market isn't nearly as fast or aggressive and we were worried we wouldn't match up to others offering on homes. Aaron was not only reassuring but he was a breath of fresh air during a stressful and life-altering process. He was always honest with us and very thorough when walking through potential homes. When we found our dream home (and trust me, it's our dream home) he made everything feel so easy with the closing process. He stayed 100% involved every step of the way and in some cases went, I feel, above and beyond to ensure our best interest was met. It's obvious that he cares about what he does and cares about his clients. My husband and I would recommend him again and again.
Marissa was absolutely fantastic.
This was my first home buying experience and she made every step of the way so easy for me. She was extremely knowledgeable about different neighborhoods, areas, buildings, and districts in Portland. What I loved most about working with Marissa was the way she listened to my needs as a home buyer. I always felt, as a client, that my needs were being put first. We explored many different options and she was so patient and understanding. We were able to find an amazing place at an amazing price. In such a large decision in ones life, Marissa made me feel completely comfortable with my purchase. I would recommend Marissa to anyone buying a home in Portland.
Carrie Struss was our guiding light.
We needed to sell our home during a stressful time impacted by a work move and a new baby. We had lots of questions, little knowledge of the value of similar homes in our area and no time to do our own research. Carrie was 100% available, answered our questions and concerns with a superb depth of knowledge, instructed us through each step of the process and ultimately helped us make a great decision and get a great price for our home. At a time when we needed to be able to trust someone with something so important for our family – we were thrilled we chose Carrie to sell our home. She was detail oriented, knowledgeable and thoughtfully responsive, we always felt in the loop. We could not recommend this hard-working agent more highly.
I used Hans to sell my family home in Neahkahnie even though I am a seasoned real estate broker in Portland, OR, because:
1. He has extensive knowledge of current property values in the area.
2. He is trustworthy and honest.
3. He is lovely to work with.
My home sold quickly with multiple offers and closed on time with a minimum of hassle to me. I highly recommend Hans.
They are very professional yet down to earth, prioritizing client relationships over business.
Amy and Margo are incredible! We always felt well taken care of throughout the selling process and our input was taken into consideration in true partnership fashion. Finally, we have to highlight Amy and Margo’s staging skills: We received so many compliments on how awesome our house looked - online and in person. It truly helped us maximize our sale price and drove traffic to our home. We highly recommend Amy and her Living Room Realty team to anyone needing help with buying or selling a home!
Sally was great to work with!
We met her back in late 2016 and after about 10 offers (and over a year later) we landed the PERFECT home in NE Portland. Sally’s positivity, determination, humor and knowledge led the way through the entire process. Once we were under contract Sally handled all of the inspections and negotiations seamlessly. She kept us well informed of what was expected of us through closing and broke down the entire process step by step. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent and we definitely recommend her. Thanks Sally, see you at the house warming party!
Choosing to work with Robin was one of the best decisions we made during our last home purchase.
She was always available and enthusiastically willing to show us properties, and answer all of our questions. More importantly, she negotiated competently and tirelessly when we found the house we wanted. She clearly communicated and represented our interests to the seller. Every aspect of our purchase was handled with honesty and integrity. I would highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for an agent who is professional, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and a true client advocate.
We’re so grateful for her and her passion for her job is undeniable!
Buying a house these days seemed like an impossible feat but with Yomari as our realtor it went great! She looked at over 20 houses with us. She was incredibly patient and taught us so much. My partner and I had never bought a place before so there was so much we didn’t know. Yomari held our hands through the whole process and explained everything to us in a way we understood. We’re so grateful for her and her passion for her job is undeniable! She was an absolute joy to work with and I’m kind of sad our journey together ended! (Until we sell!) Thank you, Yomari!!
Chris has been there for me for years.
I have always trusted Chris's opinion and use his expertise to bounce a lot of different business matters against. He is "MY GUY" when I need help with real estate. Anytime I have ideas and need another opinion, he is the guy I turn too. He puts the clients needs first and never thinks about what is in it for himself. Chris is a big thinker who stays in the big picture. He avoids thinking about the quick buck at the expense of his clients. It seems in real estate all transactions get messy so it is always comforting to have Chris on our side. Things are bound to go a little sideways and this guy has my back! Chris has always been more than fair to me and I will continue to do my Real Estate business with him for years to come.
Alyssa Starelli helped me with a home purchase last year.
She is the best kind of agent. She listened to my needs and wasted none of my time looking at properties that were out of my price range. And I was looking for cheap! In a certain area. Agents work on a commission, so this was not a lucrative sale, however she treated me as if I were her best client. Every time a new listing became available with potential she took me to see it. And it took awhile, but she hung there. She used her extensive knowledge in neighborhoods and architecture to guide me towards a good investment. She pointed out things that could become a problem. It took almost a year, so at times I felt pretty discouraged that we would succeed, but we found it! I am now living in a home with the size, area, quality and price I was hoping to find.
Natalie is an absolute delight to work with.
My wife and I worked with her to buy our first home in Portland, OR. As first time homebuyers we were learning throughout the process and Natalie did an excellent job communicating with us, the listing agents, and our lender at all times. She is incredibly professional and focused on her clients. We scored a fantastic house in a competitive market because she understands how to meet everyone's needs in the home buying process. I highly recommend you meet with Natalie Tracy for a cup of coffee before you buy a home, you'll be glad you did.
Gabs has created her own level—above all others
Gabs is in a different category. I've bought and sold 2 homes and a condo before working with Gabs, and while I've never had a bad experience with my previous brokers, working with her makes me realize that there are different levels to this profession.
Kim is a phenomenal Real Estate Agent and by far one of the best in the industry.
I've purchased several homes in 6 different states for use as a primary residence or investment property, and no one has come close to the professionalism, knowledge and responsiveness that Kim portrays on a consistent basis. I've worked with Kim on both buying and selling transactions, and I can always count on 100% satisfaction. I would highly recommend that you utilize Kim anytime you need to buy or sell a home!
As first time home buyers, we were a bit apprehensive entering into the Portland market.
Ben could not have made the experience more painless (and even fun). When a few bumps in the road arose, Ben went out of his way to rectify the situation without concerning us with the details. With my family on the other side of the country, I relied on Ben for almost all of our information during the home buying process. He answered our million questions and guided us through the process with ease. We felt that he ultimately had our best interests in mind and was not just in it to make a sale. Despite the papers being signed, Ben continues to be valuable resource - setting us up with trusted vendors in the city and making recommendations to ensure our time as first time homeowners goes smoothly. Since buying our home, I cannot stop recommending Ben to family and friends. When the time comes, we would not even consider using anyone else but Ben Samson as our REALTOR®.
If you are looking to buy a home, there is no one better to have as your REALTOR® than Mel!
She really went above and beyond for us in our search for the perfect home. From the very first home she showed us, to the day we got our keys to the new home, we always felt Mel was on our side and willing to do whatever it takes to get us the right home, at the right price! If you work with Mel, you can bet that finding your perfect home will be the easiest thing you've ever done. Thanks Mel!
We had an extremely great experience working with Shannon Dooley.
She was able to quickly process the large number of offers that came in for our home she helped us sell. She made clear what offers we had and provided guidance on some things we may want to take into consideration when choosing an offer. She never seemed rushed to get us in to an offer and allowed us the time we needed to decide what we wanted to go with. She also was able to make excellent recommendations on whom to speak to about financing options for our new home purchase as well. We would recommend Shannon anytime!

View ProfileGreg and Hilary are a fabulous REALTOR® team!
I have to thank them for helping me find my first home. I could never have imagined that I would own my first home so soon out of college or that it would be such a perfect house. Thank you for all your guidance and positive attitude during such a stressful time. You made the process painless and I am so glad my family has you as a resource. You rock! I am so grateful and in love with my house. Thank you for making me and my home search a priority. There is a reason all us Brannons love you as our realtor!
As first time home buyers, we were nervous about making such a significant, long-term financial purchase.
Northeast Portland homes in our price range were in short supply and we wanted to find something that would be 'just right.' Peter showed us dozens of homes, never pressuring us to settle. With Peter's help, we found the home of our dreams at a price we could afford. Peter was by our side every step of the way, answering our questions and negotiating on our behalf. He was very knowledgeable about the loan process and kept us well-informed throughout the sale, from offer to closing. We've referred many family members and friends and if we were in a position to buy a second house (we'll never sell the one we're in!) we'd be sure to call Peter Clarke.
We hired Tosha after our listing expired with another REALTOR®.
She took charge immediately and helped us make the house more attractive. She was the best REALTOR® we have ever had the experience to deal with. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking to buy or sell.
Janelle was everything we could have asked for as first-time home buyers.
She was reliable, transparent, and supportive - and continues to be there for us months after moving in. My favorite part of working with Janelle was that she met us where we were at, which was limited in experience and knowledge about the process and made it easy for us to learn in a sustainable way without feeling overwhelmed. I’d highly recommend anyone looking for a realtor to work with Janelle based on my experience, and I’m glad our paths crossed. I honestly don’t think we’d have won our house offer and be in this lovely home without here. Thank you, Janelle!
We decided we NEEDED to buy a house while insanely pregnant during a global pandemic, and Patricia helped us along every step of the way.
She was always kind and humorous when showing us homes, helped us understand the market, and structured competitive terms to beat out multiple offers on our dream home. Our daughter was born the night before our inspection, and Patricia went in our place and made sure we understood everything even with the limited brain space of new parents. Buying a home - especially under our circumstances - is insanely stressful and we couldn't imagine having anyone but Patricia help us through it.
Can’t Imagine This Process Without Her
Natalie was such a joy to work with! She made my first home buying experience a breeze and I couldn't recommend her enough. Natalie has a great understanding of the various neighborhoods in Portland and is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to what you should be looking for when touring homes. Natalie was always available to chat via the phone, text or email and was instrumental in getting my offer accepted, guiding me along all the various steps up until closing. She is a great negotiator and was able to get various quotes for all sorts of repairs to get me the most money back. Even after closing Natalie has been super helpful with contacts for any additional work that needs to be done with the house. I can't imagine going through this whole process without her!
My wife and I worked with Carson Mead at Living Room and couldn’t have been happier with our experience.
(We used Living Room’s tenant placement services to find an apartment.) He found us a great place in our budget, right in the area we wanted to be. He was super friendly, professional and communicative the entire time, which we appreciated. We highly recommend Living Room and Carson Mead to anyone looking for an apartment in Portland.
Even now, a month after we’ve closed, Kristine has been incredibly helpful
I can’t say enough positive things about working with Place Portland. Kristine is one of the warmest, most dedicated, and most understanding people I have ever met. When my partner and I were ready to buy our first house, in the middle of an aggressively competitive market, Kristine took us under her wing and worked tirelessly to get us in a place we’d be happy in, even with our limited budget. Kristine patiently showed us all the things to look for when buying a house, and made herself available to us for any questions we had at any time. Even now, a month after we’ve closed, Kristine has been incredibly helpful, and has checked up on us several times to see if we need anything. I can say, without a doubt, that without Kristine, we would have never gotten an offer accepted on our current house (which appraised over what we offered, which is rare in this market). Go with Place Portland! You won’t regret it!
Bonnie is a joy to work with.
We recently purchased a second property through her. She knows Portland inside-out. Bonnie is extremely pleasant and patient, with great ideas and insight-instinctively sensing your likes and dislikes. I would certainly recommend Bonnie to everyone. PS Bender, her new rescue dog, added more fun to the experience.
Río has been absolutely incredible. Professional, accurate, reliable, prompt, creative, and kind. I am immeasurably grateful for the results of their grace and grit.
Working towards buying a home for the first time takes years of personal and financial consideration and preparation, especially as a single home purchaser. In my experience navigating properties both off and on the market working with a skillful, ethical, direct agent with experience and a commitment to *your* best purchase is the best of all options. I was extraordinarily lucky in finding an excellent choice in Rio Palomares.
I spoke with multiple potential agents, many of whom had years of experience and client referral support. However, Rio surpassed the other options with an unmatched honesty in communication and a gentle forthright assessment of strategic possibilities.
Once I was on the search with Rio, they were excellent at listening and quick to research potential questions about each property, an essential responsibility when considering a historic purchase especially. They consistently and efficiently communicated with other agents and were incredibly responsive during negotiations as well as throughout the experience. Multiple times I was given an advantageous position that outranked my bidding power by $180,000+ because of how considerately and transparently our deal was constructed and communicated. It was such an unending relief to work with someone who only offered ethical advice...I am also a queer and trans person and Rio helped me navigate the unfortunate limiting realities of how that can impact housing sales respectfully seamlessly and without resistance.
It has been extremely helpful to deal with someone who can be so flexible and creative in their approach to making progress. Rio was patient and positive throughout. Even in an extremely competitive market with unknown rises in interest rates the power of persistence and persuasion will be successful with the right assistance. I made multiple offers and got second place at 3 before finding the perfect spot for *my* future...Not being pressured at all made me feel confident in my decisions and not second-guess any choices as closing time approached. Since I did not overpay, equity will be available to me much sooner in the future.
We had a smooth closing experience with the seller and Rio helped me attend all of the overwhelming details that stack up as a new owner before key day. Recommending reputable referrals for builders and contractors with the same experience and ethics to offer. They have been responsive to my continuing needs.
Río has been absolutely incredible. Professional, accurate, reliable, prompt, creative, and kind. I am immeasurably grateful for the results of their grace and grit. I enthusiastically recommend their services and have already referred my dear ones. Rio Palomares exceeds every expectation.
Drew helped us to buy our first house.
As first time home-buyers, we did not know the first thing about beginning our search or how the process should look. Needless to say, we were very nervous about selecting an agent but took the recommendation to work with Drew. Everything with our home purchase went very smoothly and that is thanks to the advice Drew gave us both during the negotiation and the closing process. I would highly recommend working with Drew if you have the opportunity.
I cannot say enough great things about Bobby Curtis. He is kind, he has a ton of real estate knowledge, he is extremely patient and understanding. Bobby always makes me feel as though I am his only client and that I take priority. Bobby is someone you want on your team.
Rosemary and I want to thank you for making our real estate transaction a low stress event.
You are a thoughtful and kind person willing to go the extra mile to help the client through the “bumps” of the real estate process. We are grateful to have had you as our agent. We wish you the best and if we ever need an agent, you are first on our list.
Beth is the best of the best and once she is your REALTOR® you will never choose anyone else.
She is very talented at what she does, has a strong work ethic, experienced in the industry, has your best interest, and acts with a sense of urgency.
Beth was wonderful to work with and negotiated the home purchase as though it were her own. I really appreciate all of the time and energy she put in to get us the best price.
Beth is always available, has a strong network within the Community, makes you feel like you are her only customer, and supports you in your decisions. She always goes above and beyond.
My husband and I feel very lucky that she was our REALTOR®. Thank you Beth!
I contacted Living Room Realty to search for a N.E. Portland house for a family of six and was referred to Constance.
I've been through the process a few times, but this was to be the first where we were searching for a true home base - and it had to happen in a pandemic year. We are so grateful to have had her support and assistance. Through inspections, failed inspections, complex sales agreements and negotiations - her communication was excellent and things always moved forward efficiently. It was such a relief to work with someone who really understood Portland and was personable, direct, and professional. We have ended up in a home we absolutely love, and it would not have happened without Constance. Thank you!
Sharon is an ABSOLUTE MASTER real estate agent!
As first time home-buyers, my wife and I knew virtually nothing about the process of buying a home. We knew very little about real estate, home construction styles, what to look for in older homes, the list goes on. As intimidating as all of that is, Sharon made the entire process easy and we actually had a lot of fun finding a home with Sharon. Sharon is an ABSOLUTE MASTER real estate agent. During the whole process, we felt like Sharon was on our team -- she never once pressured us into putting an offer on a place. Sharon literally wanted us to have the best home we could afford on our budget and our new home absolutely meets and exceeds our expectations. I don't know why anybody would work with someone who has less experience than Sharon. She is knowledgeable on home construction, renovation and she had a large knowledge base of homes from different periods and their pros/cons and she's not shy about giving it to you straight -- which is what you want when you're making this kind of investment. Furthermore, over her long and successful career in real estate, Sharon has formed strong relationships with highly skilled contractors who she can text or call to get quotes on really tight deadlines. We bought an old home and Sharon wanted to make absolutely sure the house was in good shape and that we had access to the right people if anything needed to be fixed or updated. We could not be happier with our purchase and could not recommend Sharon highly enough. Do yourself a favor and work with Sharon Bloudek, she is hands down the most experienced real estate agent in this area.
Working with Andy was the best experience I’ve ever had with a REALTOR®.
He went out of his way to show us homes, any day of the week, and was a timely and effective communicator. He genuinely wanted to find us the best home and he put in the work to do so. I couldn’t recommend him enough!
They work fabulously as a team and were great listeners…
My spouse and I recently bought a home in Roseway with the assistance of Aryne and Dulcinea. They were wonderful to work with, and made the overwhelming process of first-time home buying seem easy... we honestly felt like we didn't have to worry because everything was taken care of. They work fabulously as a team and were great listeners. Dulcinea quickly dialed in the types of houses and neighborhoods of interest to us, and we found a gorgeous light-filled house that fits our needs perfectly. They have strong local connections as well, and were able to get us quickly connected to a whole team of local experts and contractors. We highly recommend them!

(buyers in 2021, sellers in 2023)
I’ve had 6 real estate transactions and Steve is easily one of the best agents I’ve worked with with.
My wife and I are busy and live in another state so we needed a resourceful, detail oriented agent to help us, and that is definitely what Steve brings to the table. Steve coordinated and managed all the logistics around repairs, appraisals, photos, staging, showings and more. One of Steve's best traits is he has really high emotional intelligence, which is important for negotiating with agents and buyers. On top of that, he kept me on track so we didn't miss any deadlines, which I appreciated as I had other things going on. Our sale was quick and sold for over asking.
Kari and Erika were a great team
From start to finish in the process, they worked to make the home-selling experience as smooth as possible. Their planning and implementation of the preparation for sale tapped into both their skills and connections with supporting professionals. Erika and Kari were both encouraging and realistic, and they discussed the options whenever choices needed to be made; they also gave us the necessary space and time to decommission our parents' home, and we particularly appreciated their sensitivity with regards to this. One or both of them was always available to answer questions and get all the tasks done, of which there were many. Their efficiency and expertise was apparent from day one, and their thoroughness kept us in-the-know regarding all critical matters. These REALTORS® advertised the home and open houses in a way that brought many prospective buyers within a very short period of time, and the offers were compared in a way that made the decisions agreeable and adjustable when needed. They negotiated with other REALTORS® with acumen, and successfully brought the deal to a close with all parties. We highly recommend Kari and Erika for all your real estate transactions.

View ProfileI highly recommend Veronica because she is organized, respectful, knowledgeable and easy to work with.
Veronica knows the area very well and gives valuable input in each property’s potential challenges. She helped us find our new house in the Portland area in about a week. We were up against multiple offers; she gave us valuable information on how to negotiate and get ours ultimately selected by the sellers. It has been a challenging process as we live out of state but Veronica has kept the ball rolling and updated is throughout. We also appreciate how she provides recommendations from lenders to inspectors to interior designers. I highly recommend Veronica because she is organized, respectful, knowledgeable and easy to work with.
Leanne was so helpful and reliable during what can be a very stressful time.
Her knowledge, expertise, relationships within the industry and communication helped set my mind at ease as we started scouting the area for houses. And she’s aggressive on your behalf, which I appreciate when my time and money are on the line. Of all of these skills she demonstrated during our entire house hunting journey, I appreciated her sense of compassion the most. She truly wants to find you your home and she really listens. Not her idea of a home, not the industry’s idea of a home. She works with your budget, and your wants and also finds a way to go above and beyond. In the future, I will always use her to buy and sell property.
Sean is the real deal!
Sean is the real deal! We connected with Sean as we moved from Chicago to Portland and he could not have been the more ideal agent for us. He immediately connected with us and identified exactly what it was we were looking for and made sure to understand our wish list and priorities. Searching from out of town became a breeze with the property updates he would send to us and his willingness to go get eyes on places we liked. When we finally did get into town for some real live house hunting, he even picked us up at our hotel and carted us around for the weekend. Sean is amazing and it would be to your advantage to have him on your team. Once we found a place, his professional opinion and knowledge of the market put us on the path to a successful purchase. He was with us every step of the way and always put our interests at the top of his list. I cannot stress enough that Sean is an amazing real estate agent and he will work for you. I am so grateful that our paths have crossed and cannot thank him enough.
James is the ultimate professional with limitless knowledge and understanding of the Portland market.
He helped my wife and I purchase our first home in the North Tabor neighborhood and we could not have been any happier with his services. Not only was he able to find us the perfect house, but he also helped us secure it for under the asking price (and well below the appraised value). In every way, James went above and beyond our expectations. For any potential homebuyers in Portland, you can do no better than to work with James. He will find you the best house possible and he will guide your search with an honest and fair hand.
Chris Johnson is such a joy to work with!
He’s a calm, honest, generous broker. He offers so much support & sage advice during the difficult time of buying & selling a home. Since he’s a builder himself, he is interested in the construction and workings of all the systems in a house; and is happy to pass his knowledge onto h is clients. Thanks Chris for all your above & beyond service!”
No words can equal how grateful and blessed we feel to have worked with Lisa Avena to purchase our first home.
Not only was she nurturing and reassuring during the ups and downs of a wildly competitive market, but she gently steered us towards looking at the listing that ended up being the perfect home for us. Without her guidance we would not have even visited the property! Lisa possesses all the traits you want in your agent: tenacious without being aggressive, compassionate to what your needs are as a client, and a willingness to see the big picture, even when you don’t. As such, we have been referring her to all of our friends and colleagues who are in the market. It was truly a remarkable experience working with Lisa.
Jasmine is quite simply, amazing at what she does.
She has a rare gift with people and a skill set that makes her super adaptable and easy to work with. Jasmine represented my wife and I in the past as a buyer's agent, and recently this year as sellers. The experience was equally smooth, and shockingly stress free both times, and both times she helped us get exactly what we wanted. As Jasmine's client you are listened to and you are allowed to drive the process as much or as little as you desire. She really takes time to understand her clients, so her suggestions always seem to be on point. The people she works with are the best in the business - from house stagers to handymen to window washers - everyone is talented, professional and thoughtful. Jasmine's superpower is making the difficult seem doable. She is great at pulling together a strategy and leading communication in a way that everyone knows what is happening and what their job is. Working with Jasmine you quickly build a trust, and her calm unflappable approach wears off on everyone around her. We are a working family who has navigated Portland's tricky housing market from both sides in the past few years. Having someone like Jasmine on your team makes a big, big difference. We cannot recommend her enough!
Andee works incredibly hard, is an excellent communicator, and has your best interest at heart.
Andee has deftly guided us through two separate house sale & house purchase contingencies that were both on the challenging end of real estate transactions, and we can't recommend her highly enough. Her knowledge of houses and the real estate market, as well as her connections in the industry, are impressive and super helpful in so many ways. On top of all that she is a sweetheart and I miss seeing her regularly after we close :)
We have recommended her to friends, and everyone we know who has worked with Andee loves her.
Ella really went above and beyond to help us find the home of our dreams.
In the competitive Portland home market, it was a relief to have someone as tenacious and knowledgeable as Ella. Because we received financial help from family members, Ella had to walk the tight rope between making us happy and making them happy. Ella met this complex situation with a lot of patience and respect, and it made all the difference. She worked with us on our busy schedule, and was always there for us when we need to see that one perfect house at a minutes notice. She’s a great person and a great realtor, and anyone would be lucky to have her in their corner!
Chad is epitome of a great REALTOR® and more.
He made the experience of buying our first home so great and explained everything to us through every step of the process. He is personable and really listens and hears what you are looking for. He is very prompt with response times and moves fast when you know you are interested in a home. I can't say enough how great he and we truly feel like we also made a friend. If you are looking for someone who cares about finding the best fit for you, is a great negotiator, and knows the area extremely, look no further!
Full disclosure: I am a licensed broker and own the brokerage Cristen works for.
I hire Cristen to represent me because as a professional myself I want to work with the best. As a client I am demanding, have high expectations, and want to avoid stress in order to stay in a place of strength during negotiations and make good decisions when stakes are high. I have learned so much about clear communication, customer service, negotiating, and professionalism from working with Cristen. She protects my interests and is a calm steady advocate who gets the job done. She has over 20 years of experience and it shows. A master of her industry and a caring joyful advocate for her clients.
I really enjoyed my experience with my agent Yonette.
Every encounter with her was professional and so easy. Her enthusiasm and charm were always present and her responsiveness to any question or concern was almost immediate. She made the whole buying experience very easy.
“At all times we felt she had our back.”
Kathy went above and beyond to help our family get our forever home. Answering our late night and very early morning calls and texts. At all times we felt she had our back. These are challenging times to buy a home but Kathy made the process seem effortless. However, we know she was constantly working behind the scenes for us to land our dream home. If you are looking for a special place to call home, she’ll make it happen. Thank you Kathy! Muchas gracias!
We immediately had a great relationship with Lauren.
She completely understood the kind of home we were looking for. She provided insightful perspective on any listings we found ourselves, and ultimately pointed us to the house we purchased. When we encountered difficulties with our seller, Lauren offered pragmatic recommendations while giving us the details to make informed decisions on our own. She did a fantastic job of communicating with all of the involved parties (listing agent, lender, title company, the city etc.) and keeping things on track so we didn't have to, right down to closing day. Buying a home can be a stressful process at times, and we can't imagine having done it without Lauren's help!
Esmé Harbour came to us through a friend’s recommendation.
I immediately found Esmé to be enthusiastic, insightful, and thorough in her thoughts and questions. Esmé really went above and beyond what I have ever encountered in a real estate transaction. I am certain that were it not for Esmé's pleasant personality, pure hard work and dedication, we would not have been able to buy the home. And she made it so workable and convenient for us to manage everything. I cannot stop praising her and marveling at what she helped us accomplish.
Now that we’ve been in Portland a year, I wanted to let you know how happy we have been here.
The house has been wonderful, so much light from outside and expansive enough to accommodate the waves of visitors we had all summer. We had times of every bedroom filled and a tent full of kids in the backyard. Made us appreciate that we went for house "bigger than we needed." Even more than the house, we love our neighborhood. We've gotten to know people all around us (many sweet 30 somethings), shared gardening tips and produce, watched each others houses while away. Our police officer neighbor down the street says he's got neighborhood security under control. Joe adores riding his bike to work every day. He rode all last winter except for a handful of days. We love heading over to Alberta Rose for music and walking to restaurants. Thank you so very much for all of your support in our transition. You were so important in making it work for us. We felt totally supported by you in the process.
Karim and his ALL-STAR team are amazing!
Karim is really smart and knows the Portland market inside and out. We were bowled over by his professionalism, responsiveness, attention to detail, and enthusiasm. Our house looked its best in print and online, thanks to Karim's creative staging ideas, photo and virtual tours, and high-quality printed brochures. We came into the home-selling process with a lot of questions and anxiety, but the team's excellent communication put us at ease, making the experience as easy as possible.
We feel like huge winners by having Savanna as our realtor!
We went into this HOT market as first time buyers, fearful, unprepared, and not believing in ourselves. Savanna provided a service that blew us away, not only securing us an INCREDIBLE family home from lender to keys, but also supporting us emotionally through the process. Both my husband and I cried multiple times and Savanna warmly guided us through our emotions, our imposter syndrome moments, and our disagreements. Best of all, she found us a home that will bring us closer together as a family and was a very sound financial investment. We feel like huge winners by having Savanna as our realtor and cannot recommend her enough. Get you a Savanna and get you a house! It feels good!
Yascha assisted us in the very successful sale of our Portland home.
We had not been involved in selling/buying a home for over 25 years, his current knowledge of the market guided us in the preparation of our home for the best possible result. He had wonderful advice and the repair/painting/moving professionals he referred us to were each excellent to work with and fairly priced. But above all, what we appreciated most was his swift responsiveness and wonderful and warm personality. He was terrific to work with, start to finish!
Kate was fabulous to work with.
My husband and I were very nervous/excited to buy our first house and Kate made it so easy and FUN! We appreciated Kate's knowledge of houses and the fact that she did not hesitate to point out areas of question and concern that we would not have noticed. It felt like Kate was part of the family and her communication via email & text was so fast, clear, and upbeat. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Kate if you want an awesome experience with finding your new home. Thanks Kate, you rock!
Dear David, Thank you so much for your excellent efforts in obtaining the “Yellow Building” and for an excellent champagne with which to toast this next adventure!
Happy New Year. We look forward to future collaborations!
I highly recommend Tracey as a realtor!
My husband Jay and I have had the pleasure of working with Tracey a number of times over the past few years. With Tracey's help, our current house is pending sale (in one week) and we are searching with her for our new home . We also bought a rental house a couple years back with Tracey as our REALTOR®. Tracey's an expert at what she does. I'm a bit of a control freak and when I say she's one of the few people in my experience whom I trust to handle things, that's saying something. She's trustworthy, and eminently knowledgeable in her field. Besides her professionalism, she has a deeper knowledge of houses than most because of her background as an architect. Her eye is impeccable. She was invaluable in the staging of our house for sale, going above and beyond in helping to bring out the best in our home. Tracey's always easy to reach, quick to respond to messages and set up showings (and get you to them), and good company in general. When it comes to the business side of things, you're in expert hands and feel secure that she's got an eagle eye on the details and negotiations. She's a true advocate for her clients and an honest, candid person; a good person. I'm not the easiest person in the world and it's a testimony to Tracey's character that she remains ever cheerful, helpful and professional, despite the vicissitudes of the real estate business and the many moods of me. Jay and I can't recommend her highly enough.
