Dill knew exactly how to make our offer stand out in this competitive market. My family started our home search in January of 2022, and I have absolutely no doubt that without Dill we would not be moving into our dream home!  Not only did she show us countless houses, she took the time to really listen to our impressions of the houses and come up with a solid picture of what exactly we were looking for.  When we finally found our dream home, she knew exactly how to make our offer stand out in this competitive market and was there for us every step of the way until we finally closed.  I don't see us moving anytime soon, as we've found our dream home, but I have no doubts that if we are ever in the market for a home again, we'll be contacting Dill Ward.

Dill is an excellent communicator. I recommend Dill highly! She is an excellent communicator who enjoys getting to know her clients to find the right home for them.

We’ve used Dill twice on the buy-side and twice on the sell-side. We've used Dill twice on the buy-side and twice on the sell-side. Everything is turn-key and high-level. She's super-responsive, has all the processes locked in, and possesses outstanding instincts for market positioning and negotiation. Dill is awesome!

Dill was very patient as we narrowed down exactly what we wanted. This is the second home Dill has helped us purchase. She was very patient as we narrowed down exactly what we wanted, and was a great support. What really impressed us both times, though, was her savvy negotiation and networking — this woman has skills and advocated for us well. We recommend her to everyone without hesitation.

We’re so grateful to have had Dill in our corner. Dill helped us navigate all the complexities of the first-time home buying process with a warmth and generosity that gave us great confidence in our choice of agents, even as we waffled on all the other details. She hustled hard for us and landed an outcome that was even more favorable than we could have expected. She was with us every step of the way and continues to keep in touch with the goings-on in our neighborhood. We're so grateful to have had Dill in our corner and would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for an advocate in the home buying process. Thank you, Dill!

Holly S.

Dill is a great fit. We used Dill twice: (1) selling our condo in North Portland, and (2) selling our first house in Sylvan Heights. What I love about Dill is her drive and sense of how to sell a home. We were really worried about selling as it's a nerve-racking experience, but Dill was right about what we needed to worry about and what wasn't an issue at all. We came out really well on both ends of those transactions in my opinion, and I give a lot of credit to Dill for how she sets up expectations. We will be giving her a call again when we sell this house in the future. If you need someone who is solution-oriented, optimistic and realistic, and driven to do a great job as your agent — Dill is a great fit.

David C.

Dill is just, well, a wonderful person to know. Dill was our selling agent. Fantastic! Understands the business and people's motivations at an intuitive level. Honest, forthright, professional, and knows how to take care of edgy sellers (Me 🙄). Got us a great offer and guided us seamlessly through closing. Dill is just, well, a wonderful person to know.

Dill helped my wife and me buy our first home. Dill helped my wife and me buy our first home. She's a total pro. She's got her finger on the pulse of the crazy Portland market. She's got relationships with everyone. And she's a ton of fun. When we landed the house we wanted, I was super impressed with her negotiation skills. She handled every step of the process like a rockstar and was usually a few steps ahead. We liked working with Dill so much that when we sold our house just a few years later, we went right back to her. She took care of the ENTIRE situation while we were out of town. We did really well on the purchase and sale of our house, but when I look back the best part of the whole thing was our relationship with Dill. She made everything fun and exciting. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat.

Getting into the market at this time was intimidating and frustrating, but we always felt we were in good hands. Dill was professional, very knowledgeable and experienced in the market, and remained present and patient with us throughout the entire process. Could not recommend working with her enough!

Sarah B.

Enter the incredible DILL WARD—she defied all my expectations!. Buying my first home was a big undertaking, and I never imagined it would be possible to have such a positive experience. Enter the incredible DILL WARD—she defied all my expectations! I know a lot of realtors, but never have I met someone so savvy, smart, professional, efficient, and effective as Dill. The fact that she is also one of the warmest, kindest, most upbeat, and big-hearted people I’ve ever met is truly amazing! Dill walked me through every stage of the home buying process with patience, enthusiasm, and expertise. What could have been so stressful and overwhelming turned into an experience where I felt truly seen, supported, and cared for. Dill’s team carries the same ethos, professionalism, and friendliness. They nurture their relationships with former clients with customer appreciation events, surprise gifts and cards in the mail, and regular gestures of gratitude. (Have you ever met another realtor who gifts every former client with a locally-made Thanksgiving PIE every year?! Me neither!) Bottom line: I can’t recommend Dill and her team more highly. I will be a FOREVER loyal customer.

Sophie L.

Dill set the bar for what terrific service should be. Dill is truly a delight to work with, I could not recommend her and her team enough. She is compassionate, hard-working, friendly, and there for you every step of the way. She really set the bar for what terrific service should be, far exceeding expectations and going above and beyond, time and time again. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. :)

Anthony G.

We felt lucky to have Dill and her team in our corner. Dill is an excellent and knowledgeable advocate for people looking to buy or sell their home in the Portland area. My partner and I were looking to purchase a home and felt lucky to have Dill and her team in our corner. We were impressed with her responsiveness and aggressive approach to such a volatile market. She provided us with exceptional service and educated us on the market, ensuring that we were fully aware of the options available to us. I would highly recommend letting Dill be part of your team as you look to enter the wild world of Portland real estate. She will fight hard for you and put forth tremendous effort throughout the entire process!

Brandon N.

She never steered me wrong and always had my best interest at heart. There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe how AMAZING it is to work with Dill. However, I will try! In life, there are limitless possibilities, directions, and choices that you can make. Some choices are right, some are wrong, sometimes you just can't make the wrong choice. When buying your first house (or if it's your fifth house!), you are faced with so many decisions and questions that you find yourself asking. Such as, do I want to live in a certain part of town, do I want an updated kitchen? Do I want a yard? What is the maximum budget that I have for my mortgage? At some point, if you overthink it, it can become overwhelming. Dill was not only my real estate agent in the process of buying my first house but an incredible coach and advisor. She never steered me wrong and always had my best interest at heart. It was never about a hard sell and more about a long-term relationship. We talked about ALL sorts of touch points on what type of home would find me in a place of feeling like I have a sanctuary where I can thrive. Dill is incredibly responsive, present and a quick thinker, to boot. It was truly a pleasure to work with her, and I look forward to doing so again in my future real estate adventures. I highly recommend her!

Dill knows her stuff and loves getting deals done. I have worked with Dill through four house buying experiences and don’t want to work with anyone else. She and her team are responsive, professional, and thoughtful in how they treated my desires and concerns. She remained calm and stayed convinced when it seemed impossible. Her enthusiasm and joy for what she does shines through and reminds me to be mindful of the process and the end goal when things have gone not as expected. I recommend her to anyone looking for an agent who knows her stuff and loves getting deals done!

Dill got us our dream home. Dill is amazing! We bought, then sold our first house with Dill. In a really tough buyers' market, Dill got us our dream home. Then when we were ready to sell, Dill sold our house while we were living out-of-state. We always felt like we were in good hands. We couldn't recommend her more!

Dill made the whole process so easy. I had to buy a house sight unseen, and Dill made the whole process so easy. Dill truly knew the neighborhoods, the streets, the locations, the ins and outs of the houses. Amazing communication and great negotiation skills. I would’ve never been able to purchase a home if it weren’t for Dill’s persistence and knowledge. Thank you!

Dill is a master at knowing what matters when selling a home. Dill is a master at knowing what matters when selling a home. She saved us lots of money by knowing which repairs were necessary to get ready to sell and which would just be a waste of our dollars. She is also a master negotiator.

Thank goodness she picked Dill Ward and her team. Our daughter embarked on the first house adventure at the beginning of 2015.  Thank goodness she picked Dill Ward and her team to help her.  My husband and I are only a plane flight away, but too far to be of help on a daily basis as she slogged through the process of discovering location versus dollar value.  Dill helped her every step of the way, and the outcome is perfect.  She closed on a beautiful starter home with plenty of upside potential in a safe neighborhood… all things that parents care about… without losing the flavor of a trendy new neighborhood... the thing that young home buyers care about.  Well done, Dill!  You successfully bridged the generation gap.

If you need help buying or selling a home, call Dill Ward. What a great experience! Buying a house can be a huge headache, but luckily we asked Dill Ward to be our buyer's agent. She listened patiently to all our strange wants and needs and found plenty of places for us to look at that fit our budget. Dill's magic is that she knows Portland really well, and she knows people even better. She took us to see a number of places and made note of our reactions to each one. The last place she took us to looked different than our search criteria so was a surprise. "Why don't we just go check it out?" she said, because she had figured out our wants and needs better than any website's search engine. Sure enough, we loved the place, bought it, and it's where I'm sitting typing this review right now. Thanks, Dill! If you need help buying or selling a home, call Dill Ward.

. Dill helped me to buy my first house back in 2012. If not for her hard work and the extra effort she put in I would not have the house where I live today. Being a first-time buyer I did not know exactly what I wanted and she was wonderful in helping me explore a bunch of different options. I have recommended her to my friends and will continue to do so in the future. Pretty much, Dill rocks!

Satisfied Client

Dill helped us reign in our house search very quickly. Dill helped us reign in our house search very quickly and found us our new home on the 2nd day (even though it took us another 5 days to realize it). She knew all the ins and outs of setting up our offer which was accepted easily and gained us more than we originally thought we would. Her knowledge in real estate transactions and home buying was invaluable to us.

Satisfied Client

Dill made what was a very stressful move a very easy and enjoyable experience. We turned to Dill when we were seriously let down by another realtor and the difference was night and day. Without going into all the details, Dill made what was a very stressful move, for a family of five, in the middle of winter, a very easy and enjoyable experience.

Dill will do whatever it takes.

I would recommend Dill to anyone looking for a personal touch. Dill helped me buy my first home and I really can't imagine doing it with anyone else. She was so understanding of my needs and particular quirks. I feel like she really listened to my list without judgment and proceeded from there. We found my place super fast but then getting through finance took forever and through it all Dill remained in contact and offered me support.  I never felt alone or abandoned in the process which meant so much, especially dealing with the horrors of banks! She remained positive and full of good humor and encouragement. I would recommend Dill to anyone looking for a personal touch combined with great knowledge. She's super!

We live in the Atlanta, GA area but have wanted a second home in Portland since our daughter moved there in 2011. We can't rave enough about Dill! Over the past two years that we have been working with her she has patiently stood beside us in our quest for a NoPo home. Dill never tired of showing us listings when we visited Portland. I was the worst ever for vacillating on whether to take the leap and buy or not. Little did we know the Portland market was going to get as crazy as it did this Spring when we actually decided to jump in. Over the course of a month, we found several homes that we loved. We were outbid on the first two homes that we put offers on. Dill remained upbeat and told us not to worry because she would help us find something even better. And she was right! With her help and expertise in negotiating we were able to get a contract on our third try! Anyone currently in the Portland market understands how remarkable this is! Not only that, we felt that she was able to offer insight and practicality...We were in Portland for seven short days and were actually able to get a contract during that time...amazing! She also looked after us and insisted we have inspections done which proved to be a very wise decision. Since we did a 60 day seller rent back as part of the deal, Dill was still very much in the loop for those 60 days after we had closed. Lastly I have to admit that I can be very Type A and I think Dill was able to temper that to some extent so I didn't get so stressed out along the way. Sometimes I still can't believe we were able to get our place in Portland in such a hyper competitive market...Thank you Dill!!!

We didn’t have a big budget, but that didn’t matter. Dill and her team helped us find the PERFECT HOME! She gave us the A-1 treatment. We are #fansforlife

Sean H.

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!
