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.
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!
10/10 the best agent and new friend!
I would give 10 stars per category if the system allowed, Jamis is THAT GOOD. Jamis is the perfect partner in the home search and buying process. Even as a person buying a home for the second time, but in a different state/market, I had five million questions - all of which Jamis answered face-to-face, via text or gif, and phone calls. I can now explain appraisal gap language to others! Jamis had our backs 100% of the way, challenged and guided us when we felt pressured to make several time-sensitive decisions, fully informing us of all our options. They were always honest, always friendly, always available, very kind and very fun. Jamis reminded us our power and our dreams, and fully delivered. Trust they know which agents and techs to call on for inspections and rates, and trust your life is easier with Jamis on your team. In our case, we were lucky that offer #3 worked out for us, our dream home. Jamis understood when we shared our need to take extended breaks after offers fell through, and was immediately responsive and ready to jump back in when we were, every time. Hella LGBTQIA+ friendly!
10/10 the best agent and new friend!
I’ve worked with several real estate agents and Nicole is hands down the best!
I’ve worked with several real estate agents and Nicole is hands down the best! Her knowledge of the whole process is extensive and she was excellent at helping us understand it all. We are thrilled we found her!

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!
My husband and I worked with Alyssa to buy our first house and we couldn’t be happier.
She really took the time to learn about our lifestyle and what our home needed to be. Like most people, we wanted it all but our budget was tight. She managed to find us a little mid-century gem in an up and coming neighborhood that we really love. It was in gorgeous condition (we’re not particularly handy) and the yard was perfect for my husband who is a gardening enthusiast. It matches our style perfectly and suits all of our needs…including an awesome basement for storing our garden goodies. She was patient, enthusiastic and was able to leverage her vast knowledge and experience to ensure there were no unhappy surprises after we moved in. I recommend her to first time home buyers, mid-century enthusiasts…or really anyone at all.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
Truly dedicated to her clients.
Constance recently helped my friends and I buy their first house. Though she had other clients, we always felt her focus on our search and never felt rushed and pushed to decide on a house. Her research of each potential property was amazing. After we found our home, every detail was taken care of, every decision was thoroughly explained. Constance made sure we had a very clear understanding of the process. Because of our unique circumstances, there were times Constance didn’t have answers; undeterred she would reach out to her network of experts to get us the correct answers. It was my friends first home, but I personally have had numerous agents both buying and selling homes in Portland and Constance is the best I’ve ever worked with. She is truly dedicated to her clients.
I 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.
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.
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!
Kari and Erika helped us buy and sell our past two homes in 2014 and 2017.
While we don't want to move again anytime soon, we would absolutely choose them again should we have the opportunity. They were well prepared on both the buy side and sell side and regularly provided quick, direct and helpful information throughout the entire process.
They regularly went above and beyond reasonable expectations (how many other agents would bring their own vacuum to help you clean up *after* the place is sold and you've moved out? or get dinner for the family delivered to their office so we could find time to meet together?).
Additionally, their network of service people from home inspection all the way through closing helped us get through the process as efficiently and professionally as possible. Selling and buying real estate is an expensive and emotional journey, but each time we've worked with Kari and Erika, we feel that we got incredible value and that they had our best interest in mind.

View ProfileI 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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
THE DREAM DIGS TEAM

View ProfileWe 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.
There are so many things to love about this team.
Jessica was amazing, and so was her coworker, Jenessa. There are so many things to love about this team.
Right from the very beginning, Jessica had a thorough conversation with me about what I was looking for in a home, and perhaps more importantly, what my dreams were. She followed this up with information and dialogue that helped me make my amorphous desires into real criteria in the current market. Jenessa documented my preferences and goals all along the way. This thoughtfulness and preparation made it possible for us to act quickly once the right home popped up!
Jessica was beyond responsive, setting up viewings the minute I expressed interest in a property. Because of her quick action and Jenessa's skilled coordination, I was able to make an offer on incredibly short notice by the deadline. (It was a competing offer--and because of Jessica's strategic thinking, mine was accepted!) After that, things moved fast, and Jessica and Jenessa offered tools, unparalleled coordination, and resources that guided and empowered me every step of the way.
Finally, Jessica is a brilliant teacher on all things home-related. I had never looked for a house before, and I learned so much about the market and what to look for in a house from the viewings Jessica and I went to. And as a proud, brand-new homeowner, I continue to reach out to them for recommendations and resources.
Jessica's understanding of the market, skill in the process, and willingness to teach along the way made my first home purchase a fantastic experience. As I said to Jessica several times, I couldn't imagine doing this without her.
Megan has been an absolute gem to work with
...her efforts have made our cross-country move way less stressful than we thought it was going to be. When we saw our dream house get listed, Megan got us a private in-person showing in less than 24 hours. Her tips and strategies in the negotiating process ultimately helped us beat out six other bids. We chose from one of the lenders she recommended to us and had a great experience with the mortgage process as well. Since closing, Megan has gone above and beyond in many ways, including getting different contractors into our house to fix up things noted on the inspection report (the inspector she recommended was amazing as well) before we move, going over to take packages inside the house for us, etc. The only unpleasant part of our whole home-buying experience was the flight out for the private showing, and I'm sure that would have gone much better if Megan had been in charge of it! :) Really top notch experience in every way, we can't recommend her highly enough.
Gavynn is an exceptional realtor—authentic, kind
... and always quick to respond, even with our constant questions. Despite having other clients, he always made us feel like a priority, even working late to accommodate our timezone challenges with international sellers. His breadth of knowledge and local connections made buying our first home much less stressful, and months later, we still reach out to him for trusted recommendations. We feel like we’ve gained a friend in Gavynn and whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor!
Jon didn’t just help us buy a house—he helped us find our home
Finding the perfect home can feel like chasing a dream—one that sometimes feels impossible. But with Jon by our side, not only did we find our dream home, we discovered how enjoyable and empowering the journey could be! We can't imagine a better real estate agent than Jon.
From Mom: Over the years, I’ve bought and sold several homes, and I can confidently say that Jon is the best realtor I have ever worked with.
From Daughter: This was my first house-buying experience, and it was a journey! I’m beyond grateful for Jon’s expertise and incredible communication. He made the process feel manageable, even exciting, and gave me the confidence to navigate this big step.
From Both of Us: From the start, Jon stood out for his honesty, consistency, and proactive communication. Jon is the kind of person who not only keeps his word but also goes the extra mile to make sure you’re informed, empowered, and comfortable at every turn. He broke down every step, explained unexpected twists with clarity, and gave us insights that only come from deep commitment and care. Dreaming of the perfect home can feel overwhelming—like it’s too much to ask for, or that you’ll have to settle for less. But working with Jon and Kit was a game-changer. They helped us hone in on what really mattered through thoughtful questions, personalized recommendations, and a keen ability to adapt as our vision evolved (which it did often!). Jon and Kit’s process made us feel like we were co-creating something magical, not just ticking off boxes. Jon and Kit made touring homes a fun, insightful, and pressure-free experience. They spotted details we would’ve missed, shared valuable perspectives (hello, window wisdom!), and encouraged us to listen to our instincts. They knew when to guide us and when to step back, giving us space to explore without ever making us feel rushed. Jon even braved dangerous slopes and cleared many cobwebs for us as we sought the perfectly wooded yard to go with the perfect home! Our situation was anything but simple: two very different people with very different needs. Mom wanted to be close to community, amenities, and medical care, and I wanted privacy, nature, and a space to work remotely. On top of that, as we would close-in on a seemingly right place, we faced challenges with easements, HOA complications, well water concerns, community history frustrations, and tricky loan issues. Through it all, Jon’s patience, knowledge, and problem-solving kept us moving forward and continuing our search for OUR home. He had solutions for everything—and when we felt like giving up, Jon and Kit wouldn’t let us settle. And then it all came together...exactly...perfectly... as though it had all been orchestrated. The result? A home, land, and community that’s beyond what we could’ve imagined possible. If you’re dreaming of finding your perfect home but don’t know where to start—or if you’ve been burned by agents who seemed more interested in closing deals than finding the right fit—Jon is your guy. He’s knowledgeable, patient, fun, and deeply invested in making your dream a reality. Jon didn’t just help us buy a house—he helped us find our home.

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.
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.
Greg 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!
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.
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.
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.
Best decision I ever made was working with Tracey and Kelsey
I am so so so grateful to Tracey and Kelsey for their support in helping me find my beautiful little gem. Despite a tough market, Tracey helped me make a sound choice and was able to call out things that would be a hassle later on -- all while helping me keep my spirits high through the ups and downs along the way. Tracey wanted me to be happy in my home -- she didn't just want me to find a house. The best decision I ever made in this process was working with Tracey and Kelsey.
Kelsey helped us find our dream home
Kelsey helped us find our dream home! She listened to us very thoughtfully and was able to help us navigate the terrifying process of being first-time home buyers. Her communication skills are top notch and she was always going above and beyond to help us feel supported and informed. She worked seamlessly with our lending team to help us put together a competitive offer, negotiate repairs, and close quickly to secure our house.
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.
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.
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.
Sharon is so good because she matches acute business acumen with a high degree of emotional intelligence…
Sharon is an incredibly effective and successful realtor who you’d be lucky to work with. But she’s an even better person and that’s why we trusted her to help us buy and sell a house with a new baby on the way. In the real estate market, there are a lot of people who don’t necessarily have your best interests at heart. Sharon is not that person. We trusted her, and she took exquisite care of that trust and delivered for our family at every step along the way. We cannot recommend her more highly.
Sharon is so good because she matches acute business acumen with a high degree of emotional intelligence to read the situation and all the people involved, and has great instincts about what will be a strong but not excessive offer. She has the experience and creativity to think of the little things that can make an offer stand out, especially in a multi-offer situation. She knows when to push and when to step back. She is a prompt, clear and effective communicator, always follows through exactly as she said she would, and will give honest feedback even if it means she missed out on a sale or is not what you want to hear in the moment. Her grounded experience and self confidence allow her do all of these things consistently well. And on the sell side, she confidently read the market to set a strong but still attractive price, marketed the property well, and then quickly established rapport with other agents.
Most importantly, you can immediately tell she really cares about her clients as people going through the stressful life event of home buying (especially during covid). She is encouraging and checks in frequently, and goes the extra mile on all sorts of little things (for example, providing us extra packing boxes, connecting us with contractors to ask questions, ensuring we always got into see houses fast even if she couldn’t make it). And on top of all that, she’s a lot of fun to hang out with. You can tell she loves her job while also being extremely good at it. You should definitely hire Sharon!!
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!!
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.
