Jake Goodson is a reliable and competent REALTOR® whom it was a pleasure to work with for our recent NE Portland purchase.
Jake was easy going and relaxed, yet engaged and knowledgeable throughout our purchase. We were most impressed with the way he stayed on top of all of the moving pieces of our purchase and continuously checked in with us, ensuring a seamless transaction and experience. I would 100% recommend Jake to anyone who is looking for an experienced REALTOR® in the Portland area.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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 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!
My husband and I recently bought our first home with the assistance of Martin Cross at Living Room Realty.
Our entire experience was fantastic! Well, I mean, buying a home in Portland certainly has its ups and downs, and we definitely had a few challenges to overcome, but Martin was there with us every step of the way. We couldn't have accomplished this dream of ours without his help! We're so glad we used Living Room to buy our first home, and would heartily recommend Martin and the entire team to anyone looking for a REALTOR® in Portland.
Ana’s passion for the real estate industry is what drives her.
Not only she knows the neighborhoods intimately, but also she is very creative when it comes to finding the right place for you. I appreciate her ethical and very effective way of working; returning calls and emails at lightning speed. The two things that define Ana are: knowledge and authenticity. She is able to steer the client through any hiccups and leave the client feeling that the whole process was as easy as possible.
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.
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.
Charity is the finest REALTOR® I’ve ever worked with.
She has handled 7 real estate transactions for both my family and my son's family over the past 4 years... in every case she has handled the transactions flawlessly. She is tremendously responsive and she knows exactly how to get deals done. ...she's helped us to select prices that led to quick offers and closures, several times above asking price. You could not pick a better REALTOR® to work with.
“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!
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!
Aryne and Dulcinea are absolutely amazing to work with!
From our initial meeting all the way through to closing we felt incredibly supported and affirmed throughout. They made the normally stressful process of selling a home feel like a breeze. They were always quick to respond with advice and updates and worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed throughout. I will be sending anyone I meet who is looking to buy or sell a home their way and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

View ProfileJamis really actually is the best, and you’ll be lucky if you work with her.
You should work with Jamis. When we first met she had a shirt that said "real estate life," which is a good synopsis of her passion for matching people with the home they are looking for. Jamis is a realtor because she cares about people. If you don't know exactly what you are looking for, she will help you develop that understanding, and guide you to the perfect place that you didn't even know you were looking for. She works very quickly but also patiently. Jamis really actually is the best, and you'll be lucky if you work with her.
Natalie Strom is a wonderful advocate!
“I really enjoyed working with Natalie in the sale of my home in Portland! She went the extra mile to help me understand my options and the process and make sure I had the support and information I needed to go through the process. I found her to be honest, hard working, and a wonderful advocate as she represented me. Plus she provided me some really quality referrals for various things I needed done on my house when preparing to get it on the market. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home in the Portland area!”
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.
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.
Leah is a proactive, go-getter that is attuned to her client’s needs.
She does not try and push you into a transaction just to make her commission. Instead, she helps you find the perfect opportunity no matter how long that takes. I have already recommended her to anyone who will listen. She's awesome.
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.
“…you are a spectacular, warm, funny, caring and intelligent human being!”
Paul. My sister and I are both so fortunate that you came into our lives as our real estate agent. The selling of our Dad's estate was a daunting and lengthy process. 6 escrows and you stuck beside us with determination and loving support through this emotional process. You were there without hesitation anytime we needed support, encouragement or just a shoulder to lean on. You were so educated about the complications of the rules that buyers had to meet in order to qualify for the purchase. Paul, you are a spectacular, warm, funny, caring and intelligent human being! I am so blessed to have gotten to know you personally through your excellent talents as a real estate agent. I highly recommend you to anyone selling or buying a piece of real estate (In fact I have).
Hands down the best REALTOR® I’ve ever worked with.
Andy is extremely professional and knowledgeable. When a problem arises, and they always do, he is quick to work it to a resolution. I can't recommend Andy more highly. He's the best.
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!
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!!
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.
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!
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.
Lesley had come highly recommend to us and so thankful we found her.
Lesley is very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and she is always reachable. She was an absolute dream to work with and would trust her with any of my purchases or listings. When we ran into small problems with the builder, Lesley went above and beyond getting information needed to correct the builder and she always stayed on top of getting the information we needed in a timely manner. You will be so pleased to work with Lesley on any future listing or purchase.
He took the initiative to meet in person with the home seller to tell them why I was the best person to choose, when 3 offers were being considered, and also wrote to the agent.
If not for his friendly and considerate manner, which put the anxious seller at ease, I doubt into offer would have been accepted. He always follows through & completes things as promised. He is professional and yet down to earth. He wants to get to know you, so that he can find the best home and be sure you can make it yours. He’s the best.
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!
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®.
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.
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.
When we put the word out that we were looking for a realtor, Carly’s name was forwarded with rave reviews.
She had a lot to live up to, and she did not disappoint. We were trying to accomplish the impossible: a cute house, an even cuter neighborhood and a minuscule budget. Prior to meeting Carly we had combed the listings ourselves looking for the perfect home. We found some properties that looked promising but it was Carly that introduced us to the property we would eventually call home. Relocating to a new state and starting new jobs meant we were stuck with an FHA loan. As with most government programs an FHA loan requires red-tape cutting and hoop jumping to get the deal done. Carly’s experience and expertise made the whole process quick and easy. She truly held our hand every step of the way. In the end we acquired a house that perfectly fits our needs and a REALTOR® we will always call friend.
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.
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.
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!
Working with Stacy was absolutely the best decision we made when selling our house.
She was there for us at the very start, giving us pointers on what small updates would help make our house more appealing, and helping us find the right price to list our very unique cottage that stood out as an anomaly in our neighborhood. She came over when we were cleaning and painting to lend a hand, and made trips to Ikea during a snow storm to grab decorations to spruce things up before we hit the market. But where Stacy’s talents really shined was on the negotiating end. In today’s crazy, complex market, we were faced right away with navigating multiple offers and out-of-town buyers. This being the first time we had sold a house, we would have been at a total loss without her guidance. She was candid and in touch at all times, lending us all her knowledge while still allowing us the room to make the big decisions on our own. We walked away confident that we got the best price possible for our house. Living Room’s B Corp status was icing on the cake. We would absolutely use Stacy again, and recommend her to our friends!
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 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.
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.
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.
We have absolutely LOVED working with Kristin and Jason.
They are very professional. They have made every effort to ensure that our sale goes as smoothly as possible. Our house was sold in 2 days!!! Thanks Kristin and Jason. You are the best!

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.
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.
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.
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.
Our family was very fortunate to work with Kester in the purchase of our home and we highly recommend his services.
He was a great counsel when, in our early Real Estate research, he helped provide professional and objective evaluation. As we were first time buyers and resident aliens unfamiliar with the local rules, he was extremely resourceful and responsive, always taking the time to educate us while making sure the acquisition was conducted in our best interest. He demonstrated a breadth of experience and availability that made the purchase process seamless. Thanks again!
Britney provided us with the best home buying experience we could have ever imagined.
From the moment we met, to the closing and beyond, she provided exceptional professional insight and advice. Buying in this volatile market is a difficult feat, but she was supportive and encouraging throughout, making the whole process a breeze. If we ever decide to move, she will be the first person we will call!
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.
I interviewed 10 local Portland REALTORS® before choosing Ross.
I was looking for competence, knowledge, insight, competitive spirit and outstanding communications skills. It was a very emotional process to let go and trust a REALTOR® to sell our inner SE home of 25 years. Ross Seligman deserves more than 5 stars. He truly cared and more importantly SHOWED UP to make the deal work for us. I recommend highly. I did a lot of research and feel very satisfied with my choice. It was a win-win for all involved.
My husband & I highly recommend Shelley to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.
Shelley Lucas knows her stuff AND sold our home in 2 days! At the time that we had decided to sell our home, her flyer magically arrived in the mail. We decided to check out her online profile and scheduled a meeting, both made us comfortable and confident to make her our Realtor. We had not sold a home for going on 24 years and this would be our 4th home we would sell. We knew that selling a home during this pandemic and digitized world would be very different than any of our previous homes. We had already started getting our home ready to sell for several months prior to working with her, while that was all good with what we had done, she still had some advice on what we need to do to get our home the best price. Although we were reluctant at first on a few of her suggestions, she gave us positive guidance and we ended up very happy with the results! Shelley was always available when we needed her and always stayed in touch with us throughout the process. We ended up selling our home for our target price in 2 days! She and her team were amazing to work with in helping explain all the forms to sign as well. My husband & I highly recommend Shelley to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.

They were able to have real conversations with us on what it meant to own a home and grow generational wealth as young working class BIPOC folks. Rio is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic and communicative. This market is one of the toughest to buy a home in and Rio never gave up and continued to advocate for us until we got our home. They went above and beyond during the whole process and were a constant resource for us. I’d recommend Rio wholeheartedly to anyone looking to buy in Portland. Especially if you value working with diverse realtors, which are few and far between here, definitely work with Rio! I look forward to recommending them to any friends that move to Portland.
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!”
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.
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’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.
What a delight and how lucky we were that Julie was sent to us.
Throughout the listing process, the marketing, and the escrow Julie was our rock. She handled herself professionally at all times, she always kept us informed and provided us with sound counsel. We came to rely on her 120%. I would not hesitate to recommend Julie, especially to anyone who is going through the stress of a job relocation. Julie is a terrific example of an educated and informed real estate professional, and the service and caring she provided us was remarkable. She's a keeper!
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!
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!
When we decided to sell our home in Beach House, it was important that we find a REALTOR® who was responsive and professional.
Dave Leach surpassed our expectations. The amount of research and preparation he did made everything go very smoothly. He kept us up to date on all activity which was helpful as we were not in the area. His marketing tools and connections were especially impressive. Dave is a gem in the REALTOR® business, we highly recommend him and would not hesitate to trust him again with our real estate needs.
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.
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 ProfileChoosing 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.
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!
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.
My partner and I interviewed a few REALTORS® before we took the plunge into the crazy Portland housing market last summer.
Beth was heads and shoulders above the rest. She’s smart, conscientious, warm, funny, a great listener, and extremely knowledgeable about the Portland housing market. We hired her to help us sell our beloved home of 18 years, and parlay that into the purchase of an owner occupied duplex in one of Portland’s best neighborhoods. It was a somewhat complex series of transactions, and Beth handled it with aplomb. She is always on top of the situation, an excellent communicator, easy to reach and quick to respond. She’s a strong negotiator with sound principles and a big heart. Even during stressful times – and there will likely always be some when buying and selling real estate – Beth remains composed, professional, and keeps her sense of humor. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone considering buying and selling real estate.
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.
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.
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.
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!
