I have worked with Lee Davies on a few real estate sell/purchases over the years. He/His team is always focused on the clients needs. They have a true understanding of the market as a whole and understand every client, even a returning client needs individual and unique industry advise. A sell/purchase during this pandemic gives a new meaning to customer service and Lee and his team did not disappoint once again. Jennifer Holland was my go to realtor and I can count hundreds of text messages and emails between us through out the process. She never sleeps, is so professional and knows what you need before you do. Thank you to team Lee Davies and Jennifer Holland

It had been over 25 years since we had bought or sold a home and Lee Davies/Jen Holland helped us do both , in a very competitive market. We found a home that we liked in a neighborhood we have always been interested in and contacted lee for help in the buying process. He and his associate Jen Holland helped us to write a winning offer and then helped us navigate the inspection period. We also hired them to list our existing home which , at over 100 years old, was a special property that required a buyer who understood the special properties of a historic home. Jen’s attention to detail through the marketing process and Lee’s strategic advice on fielding the many offers we received in a short time were invaluable in securing a successful sale at an excellent price. This is an experienced team who has no doubt seen it all!

We came to work with Victoria Marchese via a recommendation and we couldn’t be happier. She was a consummate professional. Her communication skills meant we never felt out of the loop, and as first-time home buyers, the way she talked us through our questions was vital for us during the process. In the beginning, Victoria truly took the time to get a deeper understanding of what we were looking for in a home; we never felt like just another client. When negotiating repairs, even up against deadlines, she always had our best interest front and center. All of the challenges that you would think come with buying a home during a pandemic were virtually non-existent for us, and I put that down to Victoria’s excellent work ethic and guidance. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family.

Tony Apa and Courtney Clarke were a fantastic team. They literally came to our house for the first time in the middle of a remodel and within 2.5 weeks of meeting them, our house was pending. From the staging to the brochures to the house video, they knew how to do it all. They are a fantastic team that complement each other well in terms of IT expertise, communication with clients and potential buyers, as well as friendliness and trustworthiness. I 100% recommend them and you will be in great hands with them.

We have been so impressed by the responsiveness and resourcefulness of Tony Apa and Courtney Clarke. From the start of the process and understanding our needs all the way to post-close. What an amazing team! Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!

Shelly Brown is a fantastic and professional to work with! Shelly really knows PDX real estate and is skilled at the art of negotiation. She really looked out for our best interests as buyers. Shelly is fantastic at keeping clients updated throughout the whole buying process. She is responsive to any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend buying a home with her.

Paige P. - Portland, Oregon

“

We cannot begin to express what an amazing experience we have had with Shelly Brown and Grace. We sold and bought with them and it has been nothing short of perfection. Shelly has an incredible knowledge of the market and the latest rules and regulations. When you work with Shelly you really feel like she is listening to your needs and desires and puts them into action during the selling/buying process. Grace does such a great job of keeping all of the wheels moving along and communicates clearly during the process. They have both been responsive above and beyond what we have ever experienced. Thank you for making our transitions both buying and selling a real effortless and smooth transformation for our family.

We started working with Lauren Sinha in 2017 looking to buy are first home. Our experience then was amazing and Lauren took so much of the stress of being a first time home buyer off of our shoulders. As we started to look at our buy our next home we immediately thought of Lauren. We spent several months looking at dozens of homes this year in a crazy market. After multiple offers and being out bid, we finally found a home we absolutely love. Lauren knows the market and how to close a deal. When it comes time to selling our home Lauren will be our first call and she is the only agent we refer people too.

Kendall Bergstrom is fantastic. She was thoughtful, listened to our needs, and found us a number of amazing homes. Most importantly, she made what I would consider “scary” – moving to an entirely new state – comfortable and enjoyable. I can’t recommend Kendall enough.

Steve M. - Portland, Oregon

“

Kendall Bergstrom is the most intelligent, market savvy and thoughtful agent I have ever met. She consistently gave us great advice and information from price setting to staging to negotiations. She was always two steps ahead and worked diligently on our behalf. It was the most painless experience in real estate I have had. I would work with her again any day.

Steve D. - Lake Oswego, Oregon

“

The Kendall Bergstrom team is the rumoured golden unicorn in the sales and service industry! Many-many positive differences from other brokers. Kendall is a lightning fast communicator, honest, trustworthy, market-precise, and always up to speed on value and projected ROI. My spouse and I worked with Kendall for over a year (through Covid-19), though the market was sparse, we persisted and Kendall stayed the course. We were buying from the east coast and needed someone to exercise all five senses for us. That is a great deal of responsibility and Kendall bore this task with complete and utter GRACE. The FIRST home that we proceeded with showed major red flags and Kendall was quick to signal caution and counsel us- even though it is not what we wanted to hear and cost her a sale. However, patience obtains ALL, because just three months later our dream home came up for purchase. We were thankful that we had waited and stopped the first sale. After moving through the negotiation, inspection and closing process with Kendall nearly twice, I can easily say that every step was clearly thought out, monitored and expertly managed. I can not talk about Kendall without including her team. We were assigned to work with Kelly, who was a phenomenon on her own. She never tired of my questions, requests for video, facetime, measurements and endless contractor referrals. Having a direct line to Kelly was akin to having a personal concierge with dedicated knowledge of Portland’s west side. Kendall and Kelly were both present for the walk through prior to close. Kendall beautifully and tactfully caught errors and oversights missed by the selling party. She quickly had everything righted for us without us even asking. Also, we found a lovely assortment of thoughtful items placed throughout our home to help with the move in from PPE, toiletry basics, kitchen supplies and a lovely gift basket. I have been through the process seven times and I am sure that you can NOT do better.

Josh Gainer is an awesome realtor and we feel so lucky to have worked with him! He is extremely knowledgeable about the buying process and helped guide us every step of the way. His patience, kindness and expertise will have us using him as a realtor in the future!!

This was our first time buying a home and Jon Ziegler was phenomenal throughout the entire process. He walked us through every step so we knew what to expect throughout every step so we knew what to expect. He was available at any time to answer any questions or concerns. He always had our best interests and was able to negotiate a great offer for our home. We wouldn’t want to go through this process without such an experienced and personable agent. We would recommend him to any family and friends that are seeking to buy or sell their home.

Caleb S. - Portland, Oregon

“

We worked with Jon Ziegler to buy our first home in West Linn, OR. From the start, he was attentive, informative and kept up with us every step of the way and pretty much rolled out the red carpet. We had a lot of questions and he answered them honestly and quickly. He gave us options, weighed pros/cons with us and consulted us on buying and bidding strategies. The market being as hot as it is, Jon protected us even as things got interesting in later stages of the buying process. All in all, Jon rocks. We loved working with him. We’ve already referred him to other family members and we will definitely be using him again.

Working on our own we found a new house we wanted to buy. Our mortgage broker recommended Jo Gold to help us finish the deal and to help us sell our current house. Jo has had great suggestions and been very helpful and supportive throughout the process.

norbu - Portland, Oregon

Jo Gold was great! She was always on top of things throughout our whole buying process. She made the process become seamless as a first time home buyer. She is a great communicator which is very important in this industry. She worked extremely hard for us and we are very glad we chose to work with Jo

Matthew G. - Portland, Oregon

Our home purchase was unbelievably smooth and the home we got exactly met our criteria, thanks to Jen. She truly listened to us and guided our search based on her intuitive understanding of what we both wanted in a home. She was quick to respond to our requests, and even quicker to help assess the properties we saw. When we all agreed that we had found THE right place, she expertly led the negotiations for the purchase, helping us achieve an outstanding agreement with the seller. That was in part because she surrounds herself with a knowledgeable team that responds quickly and she did it all with an unfailing sense of humor. Thanks Jen!

Harrison Whitmarsh is the most knowledgeable, helpful and genuine person I’ve ever worked with. I felt like I had a professional private detective working for me that could find anything and everything about the properties I was interested in. Even the things I didn’t know about or never would have asked he brought to my attention and saved me from buying several problem properties I was too naive to know any better about. At the end of it all, I found the perfect home and he helped me negotiate the perfect price. Every single step of the buying process felt like it was handled for me, all I had to do was answer the phone and it was like Harrison had already done the leg work. Working with him and his company was the easiest and most pleasant experience I’ve ever had buying a home and normally thats an incredibly stressful and lengthy process. If you need an agent that really has your best interest at heart and won’t feel like they’re just trying to close a sale, call him.

We sold our house and moved into a new one in less than 60 days! All the credit goes to Ginger Gregory. She even helped me find boxes and storage! I was pretty much on my own with the move, so the extra help was amazing.

Thanks Ginger!”

I have been so happy having Eli Cotham as my agent. I met him at an open house in August/September 2021 just out looking. I was not ready to buy until spring 2022. I wanted to see what prices were. Eli was willing to take me out just to look for I can pick areas I liked better then others so when it was time for me to buy I knew exactly what and where I wanted to buy. He had so much patience with me and was willing to show me whatever I wanted to see. I never knew an agent could be so willing and patient as Eli was. I am very happy with what he found me and I would highly recommend him as your agent. Thank you again.

Doug Bergmann was an excellent buyer’s agent. He was responsive and efficient and very patient as we looked at house after house after house. We were relocating to the area, and his knowledge and advice regarding neighborhoods and location was invaluable. We will absolutely be turning towards Doug for all of our real estate needs in the future, and have already recommended him to others.

This our third time having Diana Erikson as our realtor. Twice for selling and once for buying properties. There is no one better to understand the home owner’s/buyer’s need than Diana. She has always been on our side with timely help regarding decisions to make and actions to take. She went above and beyond to make upgrades to our property to ensure smooth sale during these unprecedented times. I recommend her for any home buyer / seller in the lookout for agents in the Portland area

Debbie Walker-Quintana calmly, professionally and thoroughly guided us through the successful sale of our home. Her attention to detail was spectacular as she helped us through each step of preparing, staging, listing our home, analyzing the multiple excellent offers we received (thanks to her marketing expertise) and quickly closing escrow to coordinate with the move that we desired. We highly recommend Debbie Walker-Quintana.

ginnywandcm - Portland, Oregon

Debbie is an outstanding real estate agent. She went out of her way in order to get us the house we wanted. As first time homebuyers, we really appreciated her patience, extensive knowledge, and attentiveness. She is super reliable and I would recommend her to everyone else I know. She’s that good!

Kenny L. - Portland, Oregon

Debbie Chen is such a wonderful real estate agent! She is a hard worker, extremely knowledgeable, a quick responder, and good communicator. If there was a misunderstanding, I brought it up to her and we adjusted! Not only that, but she is also very kind and patient throughout the entire house buying process. She wasn’t pushy and gave me space to form my own opinions and decisions. No doubt, I would always ask for her opinion! I felt like I was touring houses with a very knowledgeable friend! I highly recommend Debbie!

We would recommend Dave Shuster to anyone and will definitely rely on him for any future selling or buying experiences. This time (we are return customers), he helped us to buy a house in a difficult market, making it unbelievably seamless. He misses no details, thinks of everything, and is very good at talking through any sticky points of complication that may arise, making them feel like a breeze. He is a person who seems to genuinely care about his clients; he is fair and honest. He not only knows how to broker a deal and see it through to closing, but he knows about houses and will roll up his sleeves as needed. He is well-connected and we so appreciated his ability to connect the dots with all the players needed to make this purchase happen! Everyone he put us in contact with was as kind, professional, efficient and knowledgeable as he is. So many things can go wrong or cause stress during a home-buying experience. This is our 2nd home-buying experience with Dave and both times have been smooth and stress-free.

When we moved to Oregon 5 years ago, we were fortunate to have been referred to Dave Shuster to help us find our new home. New to the area we didn’t know where to start looking. Dave drove us around and showed us some beautiful neighborhoods in the area. He pointed out where the good shopping, food, and fun spots were! We landed in a house that checked all the boxes. Jay and I highly recommend Dave Shuster to help buy or sell your home. He responds quickly and understands the intricacies that may make or break a deal. On top of that, he’s a really nice guy!

Jennifer Bryant - Portland, Oregon

Courtney Clarke was amazing! She was referred to us at the beginning of our home search. She was responsive, resourceful and guided us through the entire home purchase process in an incredibly competitive environment. We successfully purchased our first home (second offer) and Courtney was instrumental in this success! We highly, highly recommend her.

We met Beth Flora-Horton at an open house when we first started looking at houses in Portland. We didn’t even live here at the time! We had no idea what we were doing or where to look- but we felt like Beth was someone who could really help us. Beth was amazing from day one. She was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the process of buying our dream home. I would recommend Beth to ANY friend or relative. I also look forward to getting to know her as a new friend in my new state. Thanks, Beth!

Amanda Rust was giving an open house and we were the first to walk in last Sat 11/3/18. I immediately liked that she didn’t puppy dog us around the house, she let us alone to look around first and come up with questions on our own. She was able to answer all our questions and she had a good sense of humor. My review is based solely on the one interaction but I hope to have more as my husband and I really enjoyed the house.

180rmiller - Portland, Oregon

Connie Apa was extremely helpful to finding the right home for me. She really listened to what I said I was looking for: what items were deal breakers and the areas I could be flexible on. She truly understood how important finding the right place was and offered to go look at any location until we found the right one! She is very responsive and super flexible. Awesome to work with.

rodell lesley - Portland, Oregon

Connie Apa is THE BEST.

Connie represented me on the sale of my home and the purchase of my new place. Throughout the process, she advised me on everything from timing of the listing to staging and photography. She coordinated the open house, fielded the offers, and handled every aspect of the sale.

When it came to the purchase of my new home, she understood my goals and “must-haves” and filtered the options so that I saw everything with potential. She was always in communication and scheduled tours immediately. When we found my place, she was instrumental in negotiating the absolute best price.

The Portland housing market can move so fast, and it can be overwhelming. I feel very lucky that I had Connie with me, providing excellent advice and support all the way. She was right about everything and I recommend her without hesitation.

Harrison Whitmarsh through this process and through this pandemic has been going above and beyond and able to accommodate every need my partner and I had.

It truly felt that he was not happy unless we were happy and it was so relieving to know that I was in the hands of someone who truly cared about me being in my dream home.

He even gave us a nice housewarming gift, a pie waiting to be eaten.

Thank you Harrison for your help!

Diana Erikson is simply outstanding! We have worked with her on two separate transactions, once each as a buyer and a seller. Her local market knowledge is unmatched, allowing for optimal decisions on pricing and bids. She is an expert on the sales process, and helped us navigate all the key areas of offers and contracts. Diana was extremely responsive and made sure to keep us informed in real time of any key developments. Her organizational skills in managing viewings and other logistical steps were amazing. We were thrilled with Diana’s performance as our realtor! We highly recommend her!

Jessica Corcoran supported us through a house purchase last summer that was unprecedented in complication, negotiation and true knowledge of the market! We depended on her to walk us through a difficult 1031 exchange while attempting to be competitive buyers while the housing market was exploding. My partner and I were absolutely amazed with Jessica’s competence, community connection to every housing resource, and ability to “get her hands dirty” to get us the home of our dreams. I am certain things would not have worked for us the way they did were the process in the hands of another realtor. Jessica is hands down Top Notch the best out there!

We looked for Realtors like we looked for houses. We had incredibly high expectations and wouldn’t settle. Ryan Garrick beat all of our expectations. He accommodated our schedules, coached us through hard decisions and did an incredible amount of research to resolve a problem we had after inspection. Perhaps the best thing that we can say is that we’ve found the perfect fit for us, paid a very fair price and closed in a reasonable amount of time. In this super competitive market, we would probably still be looking if it weren’t for Ryan. Instead, we’re moving into our place with big smiles on our faces.

Alisson H. - Portland, OR

Ryan Garrick was an amazing real estate agent to work with. He went way beyond what I expected. He was very knowledgeable and always quick to respond to any question we had. This was our first time buying a rental property and the assistance he provided helped smooth what would have otherwise been a very difficult process. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. You will not regret it!

I hadn’t purchased real estate in 30 years and Jason Cassell did an excellent job of guiding me through the process from the beginning, through the closing and beyond. Jason is a terrific communicator who always got back to me promptly with great advice and suggestions. He was proactive when needed, knew all the ropes and was always at least one step ahead. Honestly, Jason really knows what he is doing plus he went above and beyond to assist me. He gets my highest recommendation.

Jasmin Hausa is the ultimate professional! From her responsiveness to her communication style with both me and the buyer’s agent, to her helpful suggestions throughout the selling process, I would recommend Jasmin without hesitation to anyone who is looking to sell their home and get the largest profit possible. She walked me through every stage of the selling process and offered helpful suggestions on improvements we could make to our property so we could get the highest sale price. She’s knowledgeable with HOA and condo properties and even provided insight into HOA rules and responsibilities for home owners and the HOA board. Selling a home can be a painstaking process, but with Jasmin’s expertise, we got an offer within 5 days and closed within 30 days! We couldn’t have asked for more. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home, Jasmin is who you’re looking for.

I worked with Julie Spear for over a month to find the perfect home. She was very professional and patient and offered honest feedback, knowing exactly what I was hoping to find. And we did find it! Julie brought me to a home that had just hit the market and together we completed an offer that I was very pleased with accompanied by a letter to the sellers explaining why their home was our first choice. We found out after the fact that the letter had been the deciding factor in the sellers’ decision! Julie really has great instincts and helped develop a transaction that left all of us feeling like we had won! I would (and do) recommend Julie to all of my friends and family.

Cassie J. - Portland, OR

“

Julie Spear was an essential part of our home search. We were moving to Portland from California, and always had limited time windows to visit houses and neighborhoods. Julie always went above and beyond the call of duty to organize last minute showings, call seller’s agents, and discuss options. She was a great sounding board for our ideas on offer deadlines and pricing, talking us off the ledge during the ups and downs of our process. When it came to buying our house, Julie was prompt and professional in her dealings with the sellers, and during closing she was a huge help, given our remote status, coordinating access to the house for contractors. Most of all, Julie was just fun to spend time with. She understood the quirks of our family, and made the house hunting process a great experience.
