Customer Testimonials
"We have sold a couple of house in our lives and I can say with all sincerity that this was the easiest experience we have ever had. Alex always did her best to make sure our stress level was low and she was so understanding with our concerns. She would check in periodically to see how we were holding up and how our stress level and emotional well-being was. I have never had an agent do that for us. I would work with Alex again in a heartbeat and I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in selling or buying."

"Lorraine Heerwagen's easy going personality and knowledgeable attention to details gave us confidence in knowing she always had our best interests in mind.
When complicated situations came up during the sale, they were handled smoothly and professionally and we felt very confident in Lorraine's ability to handle each twist and turn.
We were extremely happy with the process and final outcome of the sale of our home.
It is a privilege to recommend Lorraine Heerwagen with her upbeat, positive, "every situation has a solution" attitude."

"Stephanie Peters was our 4th realtor and was by far the best! She guided us through the whole process, provided input and listened to our needs. This transaction didn't feel like the realtor was just the middle person."

"When I first talked to Lori Ares over the phone, she was very informative and thorough. When we met in person to go over paperwork and things, she laid out everything and went into detail and again very very thorough and walked me through the steps. Always quick on getting me answers to my questions and gave me tips for improving the house that I did not think about myself. Overall great experience and happy with Lori. Thank you!"

"We started our home purchasing Journey using Redfin; mainly for the convenience of being able to look at homes whenever we wanted to. We both have busy schedules, so we found it to be convenient. After working with Redfin for a while (We viewed 40+ homes with them), we got frustrated and were about to give up.
Our lender highly recommended Lori, and from the day we first met her, we loved her great personality and optimism, as well as her professionalism, kindness, understanding and empathy of our situation. We are very happy we chose to work with her.
Lori took me out looking for homes, and we looked at several homes the same day. By the end of that day, we found the perfect house and made an offer that same day. Lori immediately took charge of the negotiation and was able to educate the seller's agent on the benefits of VA Loans, as they were reluctant to go with us. She went above and beyond anything that she had to do. She was there for us throughout the entire process, keeping us up-to-date on any developments, and meeting us in person on several occasions to get things like the inspection done. Lori was able to do in 1 day, what our previous Redfin agent couldn't do in more than a month's time. We appreciate her so much!
Lori was available to us any time we needed her. Even when she was spending time with her family, she took the time out to help us if we we had questions or concerns. We got nothing but top notch service from her.
We had the opportunity to meet Lorraine from Berkshire Hathaway, and she was very helpful on the day she met us to give us the keys to our new home. When we arrived, the cleaners were still working in the house, so she recommended the most fabulous restaurant in the area. It turns out she lives pretty close to our new house. It was really nice having someone there who actually knows our neighborhood. She was kind and professional as well.
Everyday, my husband and I talk about how lucky we were to find such an amazing agent. It's rare to find people who truly make you feel cared for and valued in business. She even caught a missed military discount during closing that saved up more than $300, which we were able to use towards much needed furniture. If we ever sell or buy again in the future, we definitely hope to have Lori again as our agent. We will also be sure to recommend her to any friends and/or family looking to buy or sell."
Elle and Zeke Jones (Buyer) Sat, 01 Oct 2022 02:43:48 +1000
"I would not have even proceeded in this purchase without her; she is the reason it happened & went so smooth; I didn't realize how much you need to trust your agent & Lori Ares can be trusted! I'm so grateful for her & that she uses her gifts in real estate to help & bless others."
Carey Dienhart - Lake Oswego (Buyer) Wed, 21 Sep 2022 07:38:21 +1000
"Lori was extremely supportive throughout the whole buying process. She is so available and on top of every step along the way. This is my first home I've purchased as the sole buyer, but I felt her close supervision, true empathy and honesty helped me emotionally and logistically through it. I feel confident with her expert advice and guidance. I'm so glad I chose her as my Realitor!"
Beth Fadel Tigard oregon (Buyer) Sun, 18 Sep 2022 03:11:07 +1000
"During our transaction the selling agent repeatedly made the negotiation process challenging, but Lori was able to navigate beyond the agent and professionally advocate for us.
We HIGHLY recommend Lori for any real estate support you need - she will take care of all the details and support you during the process."
Lisa, Portland (Buyer) Thu, 08 Sep 2022 12:45:33 +1000

"Valentina "Tina" McCuen helped us sell our home recently and the experience couldn't have been better. She worked closely with us on pricing and walked us through every step of the process. She is very knowledgeable and customer service focused!! She went the extra mile helping us sell this house. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!!!"
Gina Baker, Vancouver, WA (Seller) Thu, 04 Aug 2022 23:36:33 +1000
"Sade was an excellent realtor! She understood our wants and went above and beyond to deliver it. She gave us many choices and discussed what we needed to do thoroughly. As first time buyers, she helped to ease our worries. Would definitely recommend!"
Nina, Portland (Buyer) Sat, 30 Jul 2022 08:14:00 +1000
"I was always told that buying a home is one of the most stressful things you will do in life, and Tina made it so my first homebuying experience was virtually stress free.
Tina did a great job helping me understand the process and always made sure I was up to date on what was happening and what was needed to continue forward. If I ever had any questions or concerns, she was very quick to get them answered and helped talk me through what was going on. I never felt like I wasn't ready for something since Tina did such a good job with making sure I knew everything that was happening as it happened.
I would strongly recommend Tina McCuen for anyone buying or selling a home, she will not disappoint and will likely exceed any expectations."
Jake Roberts; Molalla, OR (Buyer) Sat, 30 Jul 2022 05:42:56 +1000
"Sade was wonderful to work with. We were first time home buyers, and Sade made every step of the process clear and manageable. She was communicative and thorough. We feel very lucky to have worked with her and the Berkshire team."

"Estamos muy contentos con el trabajo, experiencia y profesionalismo de Iraida Hermann para ayudarnos a adquirir nuestra casa.
Ella fue nuestra guia durante todo el proceso, nos explico con detalles las etapas de comprar una casa y lo que teniamos que hacer en cada una de ellas, respondio todas nuestras preguntas, nos dio consejos y dio seguimiento a todo lo que necesitamos hacer y ver para poder tener nuestra casa.
Definitivamente fue una agradable experiencia trabajar con Iraida Hermann, y sin dudarlo lo volveriamos a hacer."
Fabian Romero, Beaverton (Buyer) Thu, 14 Jul 2022 04:32:32 +1000
"Iraida Hermann is incredibly organized: everything was done on time, with the incredible accuracy. She helped us organize our tasks by giving us a nice and detailed task list, and by guiding us through the process every step of the way. I'm a CPA, and I've seen my share of highly organized people, and Iraida is one of the most organized professionals I've met.
Iraida does everything with a smile and grace, and she never missed a single task in our planning process. I was so impressed with how much she remembered about the house, and the custom recommendations she gave to us on preparing our house for sale. She made the entire negotiation process very easy to follow by helping us understand the offers.
Iraida was on top of everything during the entire purchase and sale process of our old/new homes.
I recommend Iraida to all my friends now, and tell them that they won't miss an opportunity (whether to buy or to sell), if they have Iraida as their agent. We sold and bought a house with Irada's help, and both processes went as smooth as one could possibly wish for. I also greatly appreciate the planning process that she had for both purchase and a sale, and beautiful staging and photographs that made our house stand out in the market. I believe we got the highest price possible for the house we sold thanks to Irada's work (i.e. carefully planned timing, staging, and marketing).
It was truly a pleasure to work with Iraida!"
Natalia Pavlova, Portland OR (Seller) Wed, 13 Jul 2022 07:28:45 +1000
"Being detailed oriented, knowledgeable, enjoyable to work with and having integrity are things I want in a broker. Iraida Hermann encompasses all of these.
Her work ethic, professionalism, and knowledge led to a fast and great process in selling my home.
She has a great attitude, sets appropriate expectations, listens to her clients, and clearly communicates throughout the entire process. She is a joy to work with!
I will always recommend Iraida Hermann to anyone I know who is looking to buy or sell a house. She's the best!"
Alice Whitfield, Beaverton (Seller) Wed, 13 Jul 2022 04:28:17 +1000
"Iraida has an incredible attention to detail and is super proactive in her communication. She made purchasing our home simple and easy."
Lucas Diaz, Portland OR (Buyer) Wed, 13 Jul 2022 02:59:57 +1000
"Lori was so professional, kind, giving and patient through the whole process. Loved her attention to detail and promptness of getting the house ready and sold for way over asking!
I would refer Lori to anyone, she was stellar!"
Jenifer Thomas St. John’s (Seller) Tue, 12 Jul 2022 04:37:13 +1000
"Lori Ares is insightful, professional, courteous, and an ardent negotiator. She saved us thousands of dollars in repairs and unnecessary costs during the home buying process! We are are very lucky to have her on our team."
Richard Condon, Monmouth Oregon (Buyer) Sat, 09 Jul 2022 08:24:43 +1000
"I can't think of any way in which Malcolm (the lead on our sale and purchase) or Jolynn (who functioned as occasional backup) did not perform at a very high professional level throughout our transactions. They were always available for questions, understanding of our concerns, knowledgeable in their answers. And I trust both them completely.
Everything went as smoothly as possible given our circumstances -- particularly the critical timing on closing on our sale house so that finances would be available for closing on our purchased house. Their local knowledge and connections were critical to our finding the right place for us and they were with us every step of the way through the complexities of selling and buying on a tight schedule."
Jack Bennett, Sunriver, OR (Buyer) Sun, 03 Jul 2022 03:42:30 +1000
"Malcolm and Joylnne Ash are the people you want on your team when you are buying/selling a house. They were readily available, extremely knowledgeable and very experienced. They provided impeccable guidance and strategy to navigate this challenging market. The contacts they had (lending, inspection, etc) matched exactly the service we received from them. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better team to work with. They really made the process easy and understandable and there was never a minute we didn't feel taken care of. I would highly highly recommend them anyone."
Ryan Sidley, Portland (Buyer) Sun, 03 Jul 2022 02:42:17 +1000
"Stephanie was amazing. She was so helpful and attentive and really cared about our happiness in a future home, not just making a sale. We are customers for life! She knows the business inside and out and was so great to work with!"
Erin Tovey-Brown, Oregon Coty (Buyer) Fri, 01 Jul 2022 08:12:02 +1000
"Getting our house on the market happened really fast as we had to get all the prep done in less than 2 weeks. Malcolm arranged for many things to happen quickly with his contacts - windows, gutters, power washing, etc, all of whom were excellent. He was instrumental in helping us stage as no professional stager was available at such short notice.
The process was stressful due to the fast turnaround and I was anxious during the getting on the market time. Malcolm was very reassuring and patient with my multiple questions and anxiety which I most appreciated!
Malcolm came highly recommended by a close friend so we saw no reason to look elsewhere and are very satisfied with our choice. When Malcolm wasn't available, Jolynne was able to be and they work very well as a team. Malcolm was on top of everything and always communicated in a timely manner. I could not recommend him more highly.
Way to go Malcolm and Jolynne!"
Kathy; Lake Oswego, OR (Seller) Thu, 30 Jun 2022 06:36:05 +1000
"Jeffrey Dirrim made my first home buying experience as stress free as possible! He was there to answer any and all questions that I had! He was also a great support to me when an offer was not chosen. Great communication skills, very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Jeffrey to anybody looking to buy or sell a home."
Michelle Krnak, Tigard OR (Buyer) Wed, 29 Jun 2022 13:33:51 +1000
"Lori was always available and wilingl to show us just about any property at anytime, and her knowledge of what we were looking for was EXACTLY what we needed. She hit the nail in the head and literally has been our cheerleader from day one making our home purchase happen. Thank you Lori-- you are a rock star!
Lori's character and integrity are what drive her. She made us feel as if we were the only one she was working with which we know was not the case. Her license plate says "U matter"....... that is exactly how we felt!
Again... attention to detail is Lori's expertise. There was not one stone left unturned."
Kirsten Haas (Buyer) Fri, 03 Jun 2022 12:21:59 +1000
"Sade was very timely and communicative. Really enjoyed working with her. She is awesome!"
Brandy, Portland (Buyer) Thu, 26 May 2022 04:19:14 +1000
"Elias exceeded our expectations at every turn. His communication was stellar and always timely. We felt like we had a strong advocate in our corner, and not someone just looking out for their own interests. Every step of the process felt comfortable, and Elias made buying our first home easy. We fully recommend Elias as a realtor for his excellence and professionalism in the field."
Michael Pettis (Buyer) Wed, 18 May 2022 05:21:55 +1000
"The home buying experience can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. Christina Day proved to be the perfect guide as my wife and I looked to purchase our first home together. She was flexible, accessible, and always willing to answer any of our questions. We couldn't be happier to have had Christina by our side throughout the entire journey!"
Erik and Katie, Portland (Buyer) Fri, 29 Apr 2022 02:44:13 +1000
"Lori is our neighbor. We had a great impression of her character when we entered conversations about her becoming our relator. Good character, which Lori definitely has, prevails as a leading cause for us to choose a relator. Lori was in our corner the entire time, professional, quick to follow up and move things forward, and she is a person of her word. She knows the business well and did an outstanding job despite the difficult market we were in!"
Timothy Makin, Oregon (Buyer) Wed, 20 Apr 2022 05:21:28 +1000
"My partnership with Nathan was crucial as I’m also a Real Estate Broker, and trusted him to help me as a referral agent for my multiple properties that will soon be sold with his help…, great service with results!"
HANS SCHMIDT, Las Vegas (Seller) Sun, 17 Apr 2022 02:51:30 +1000
"Melissa was recommended by a colleague. We did not know anyone locally since we moved from out of state. Much of our search was conducted virtually. Melissa was great and secured us a house in a tough market. She was extremely responsive, friendly and professional. She put in a ton of effort to make our dream home a reality."
Alli F., Corvallis (Buyer) Tue, 12 Apr 2022 09:53:41 +1000
"Tina fielded around 3-4 calls from us daily. We weren't exactly the easier buyers to work with but Tina took every question, every concern in stride. 10/10 Would recommend"
Alex & Lyndsay Gomez (Buyer) Thu, 07 Apr 2022 06:21:40 +1000
"I appreciate Michael's help during the sale of my condo. I will surely work with him again to buy my new house."
Yelena@Sherwood (Seller) Wed, 06 Apr 2022 02:52:16 +1000
"I met Elias Comfort at an open house, and I asked him if he was familiar with the loan program I wanted to use, and he was not but said he would look into it. He gave me a referral to an excellent broker who was very familiar with the loan program.
This interaction demonstrated how Elias works. If he didn't know something, he found out. He consistently removed or lowered hoops for us, and took care of so many logistical issues that would have caused us added stresss. His people skills helped us get our offer accepted at the first house we put an offer in for, and he got us some closing costs too! We did not expect that in this current seller's market.
Elias was communicative and responsive to our needs and we never felt any pressure from him. In fact, he took pressure out of our process by arranging and scheduling inspections and contractors to get the keys to our first home into our hands!
We couldn't be more grateful for Elias and look forward to recommending him to friends."
Heather and Dan, Portland (Buyer) Sun, 20 Mar 2022 03:11:43 +1000

"Beth Corey maintained continuous contact with us, fully explained each step of the process, provided us with options, helped us make the right decision given our situation. She is completely on top of the market, and obviously respected in the community. Beth Corey brought peace of mind and joy during a difficult and anxiety filled decision making time for us.
We will highly recommend Beth.
Quality individual!"
Mike & Joyce Stenberg (Buyer) Mon, 21 Feb 2022 16:55:18 +1000

She seemed knowledgeable about the area, what it takes to have our offer accepted, and she spent the time to talk to us about our needs. Lori did a great job quickly arranging inspections, negotiating on repairs, and helping us prepare an offer that got accepted."
Marilee, Sherwood (Buyer) Thu, 06 Jan 2022 12:43:35 +1000

Thanks again"
Gregg & Teresa Schroeder (Buyer) Tue, 04 Jan 2022 10:49:04 +1000
"My wife and I were considering whether or not to sell our home and purchase a different one. After our initial meeting with Melissa Corsetti, we felt confident that she was the right person to help us navigate the process. She was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and responsive.
Melissa was extremely savvy during every part of the selling and buying process. She handled everything smoothly. We felt confident that she understood our needs very well. She was available anytime we had a question and she answered all our questions in ways that we could understand. She anticipated every step. She professionally maneuvered us through the negotiations. We absolutely give her all the credit for getting our offer accepted in an extremely competitive market. We are now in our dream home because of Melissa Corsetti!"

I will recommend her to all my friends and family and always use her in the future."
Toni, Portland (Seller) Mon, 20 Dec 2021 05:34:37 +1000
"She handled the home sale of a close friend and colleague and went way above and beyond to help him sell is homes in a rather difficult situation. She provided ideas and all kinds of help and support from the beginning to the end. That's what we wanted, and we got all of that and beyond! Not sure we could have done it without her.
Tina went out of her way to stay in contact with us through every step of the process from beginning to end. It was also great that she was present for our signing and other important steps along the way. She is still involved with helping us transition from our home. She is remarkable, trustworthy, professional and caring about our needs.
Can't say enough how accessible and helpful she was from beginning to end.
Incredible and we could not have managed this without her."
Randy Kollars, Portland, or (Seller) Sat, 18 Dec 2021 03:28:16 +1000

What more can I say, she is what you want in a realtor."

"Beth Corey did a remarkable job in selling our house. She’s professional in every facet of the business, from staging, upgrading and updating advice, showing and marketing the house and her interaction with other agents and clients. Beth made herself available virtually 24/7.
She sold us the house 22 years ago while with another agency, her service was impeccable. It made a very easy decision to list the house with Beth even though she had changed agencies in the interim.
Because of her guidance and advice we ended up selling the house for more than the listing and appraisal. A true real estate professional with the personal touch. We’d highly recommend Beth Corey and utilize her for our next real estate transaction."
Wade Mosby, King City and Lake Oswego, OR (Seller) Fri, 10 Dec 2021 14:13:03 +1000
"Could not have had a better team help us with the sale of our house than Jolynne and Malcolm. They were on top of everything and handled even the most smallest details (from staging, cleaning to helping manage contractors). This was truly the easiest and most relaxing house sale I have ever had.
I have sold over 12 houses moving around the country and I have never had a better or easier experience with realtors. As long as we are in Portland we will always use and recommend Malcolm and Jolynne."
Cynthia Shelton, Portland OR (Seller) Fri, 19 Nov 2021 09:30:50 +1000
"We knew Lori Ares from outside of real estate, but knew her to be a good listener, hard worker, family oriented, in the business for a while-experienced. We had received some listings of her recent sales that came as post cards, so when it came time to sell, we reached out to her.
We are so glad we had Lori as our agent. She was available to take our calls/answer questions, took time to listen, act, follow up, and execute what she said she would do, was considerate of our feelings and thoughts, and a good communicator. We are very happy with the results and the process to get there. We would use her in the future (we are using her on our new purchase also) and we would highly recommend her to family, friends and neighbors. She is a joy to work with and she worked hard for us as our sellers agent."

Marilyn, Hillsboro (Buyer) Wed, 27 Oct 2021 13:15:54 +1000
"Lori Ares is the best in her field! She truly does care for the people she is helping. I haven't moved in 45 years and this could have been an overwhelming experience. Lori sat with me and helped me through every step....always was there to answer ALL my
questions and always made sure I was never alone in decision making. Thank you Lori, this was an exciting part of my life and I am so grateful you were a big part of it."
Lynnette Luchau, Tigard, Or (Buyer) Fri, 22 Oct 2021 03:29:49 +1000

"I've worked with Nathan on a few occasions now and have never been disappointed. He has always been knowledgeable, professional, punctual, and a master at his craft. With our latest home sale, Nathan provided thorough comparable market analysis to help us identify our price target and our house was under contract the day after listing. Throughout the process, he was always checking in and providing us updates. Without a doubt, Nathan made the home selling process easy and quick!"
Mike, Beaverton (Seller) Wed, 13 Oct 2021 12:32:33 +1000
"Micheal took care of us from the start. After our first virtual meeting with him, we decided to go with him because of his experience and dedication to helping us find the right home for our family.
I would recommend Michael because he is not only professional, he is empathetic, caring, and compassionate to the stress of the process of home buying. We had never purchased a home, and he guided us through the process of offering, negotiation, and closing. He was with us over facetime as we signed the closing documents just in case we had questions! I am over the moon with our experience working with Michael. It just couldn't have been any better."
Chris Thoms Tualatin, OR (Buyer) Wed, 13 Oct 2021 05:16:14 +1000
"Jeffrey had a good understanding of what I wanted throughout the process and effectively communicated with the buyer's agent. Jeffrey kept me well informed throughout the process.

"we would highly recommend Mary Jo Williams.
Since we recently moved to Oregon and never bought a house in rural area, we need lots of help from the professional agent. We were very lucky to meet Mary. She was outstanding on every espect and trustworthy.
We loved how she quickly responded to all of our questions as well as her knowlege of the whole process from start to finish.
Most of all, since the housing market is totally a seller's market, it could have been very comptative to buy this house. However, Mary guided us to a right direction to put an offer. Her advice did the major role of a succesful home purchase.
On top of this, all of her referals was very trustworthy as well. We didn't have any single complain during the home purchasing process.
We are estremely happy with the service provided by Mary Jo William."

"I would recommend Elias Comfort to anyone selling or buying a home in my area. He is always prompt and willing to reschedule appointments to accommodate a client, even on his birthday! He is very patient, wanting to make sure I was satisfied with a property. I would definitely suggest to friends and family to use his services."

"Micheal took on a job that had very little success to succeed with a smile and determination. What we were looking for was an affordable house with an ADU. Not only did he find one, but negotiated a price we could live with AND some fixes that were needed. Always willing to talk, Micheal was able to calm the fears down and allow room for communication. I never felt like he was selling me a house. I felt like he was helping me find a home."

Very easy to get ahold of and willing to answer any questions we may have had.
Couldn’t have asked for a better agent to help out 2 first time home buyers!"

"Lori is incredible. We actually had bought and sold a house from her back in 2017 which was our first home. She sold that house for us too when we had to move to NY. We’ve always had nothing but awesome outcomes with her. So it was a no brainer when we decided we wanted to move to happy valley. She’s personable and kind and always goes above and beyond for her clients. If i ever had to move again, i wouldn’t even look at another realtor. We strayed from her once when moving back here from NY, which wasn’t on purpose but just happenstance, and I’ll never do it again. She’s incredible and truly listens to what you want and need out of a home."

"I had an AMAZING experience working with Iraida. She kept us informed every step of the way. She responded quickly to our questions and made the entire process a breeze! She is exceptionally professional, efficient, and she made the home-buying process very enjoyable. I appreciate all her hard work and would recommend her to any homebuyer."
Angie B., Portland (Buyer) Wed, 22 Sep 2021 04:30:16 +1000
"Preparing my Mom's home for the market was a significant undertaking. We met Lori early in the process and she was a true partner to our family. I appreciated her sensitivity to our family dynamic and she maintained total professionalism throughout the process. What I appreciated most was the help
Lori gave us prior to listing. She was available whenever we needed her and stayed on top of every detail - and there were a lot of them!
I would highly recommend Lori to any friend or colleague. She truly earned every penny of her commission and then some."

Will use her again and refer her to others!!"

"Chip is semi-retired, so he graciously agreed to take our listing. The interest in our property was quick and furious, but Chip kept up with the brisk schedule well. He canceled a vacation to service our listing, which was very appreciated. He kept us in the loop daily, and reviewed nine offers to present. We thank him for his diligence, as we accepted an offer that was over and above our expectations. Thanks Chip!"

"I couldn't more highly recommend Jeff Hjelte. He was knowledgeable about the area, the home buying process from beginning to end, professional and friendly, not to mention patient. He went above and beyond to address my questions/concerns and anticipated what might be important for our family based on getting to know us over time. He helped our family find our perfect home while navigating the competitive field with confidence. I'd recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable resource for residential real estate."
Sara Hahn, West Linn, Oregon (Buyer) Sat, 31 Jul 2021 12:21:12 +1000
"Iraida was a valuable friend, resource, and support system throughout the home buying process. She demonstrated great insight and expertise around current, local market conditions and offered good advice on how to competitively position offers.
Iraida was prompt, attentive, supportive, and detailed throughout every stage of the buying process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.
Iraida is a consummate professional and is totally in tune with all of the practical aspects of the home buying process. But she also has an affinity and understanding of the often overwhelming emotional aspects of making a significant home purchase decision. She really demonstrated those softer, supportive skills that were so important to me as a single buyer.
Fantastic experience with Cheryl. She helped me find a support network of home-related services :-)
Overall, a truly positive and supportive experience. Iraida worked behind the scenes to make this process as smooth as possible and her network of connections and relationships helped make the buying process as seamless and efficient as possible. Iraida was able to secure for me what had originally seemed impossible: she helped me get into a beautiful house in a great neighborhood in record time - a remarkable feat given the challenging market conditions!"

"Michael Lukman had no flaws. His sale plan worked perfectly. I believe I got the most I could for the house, and I don't believe it could have closed any sooner. This was an estate sale, and I live thousands of miles away, but the preparation and process couldn't have been any easier if I had been living next door. He provided excellent references for several repairs and cleaning, and it all went perfectly. If I ever buy or sell a house again in Oregon or Washington, I will be calling Michael Lukman."
Cliff Carlin, Bakersville, NC (Seller) Sat, 03 Jul 2021 06:32:11 +1000
"We needed someone who understood the complexities of dealing with an estate sale and Nathan far surpassed that expectation.
Nathan was always a phone call away and kept in touch with us on a weekly basis throughout the whole process.
Nathan made a very hard sale experience much easier with his knowledge, tenacity and understanding.
Nathan was given an almost insurmountable task in selling a property that needed a lot of work but he definitely stuck with it through many ups and downs and got the job done!
I would definitely recommend Nathan to all my friends and family and will use him in the future for all my real estate needs."
Carla, Portland, OR (Seller) Wed, 30 Jun 2021 06:11:19 +1000
"Malcolm was my second realtor. I fired my first realtor due to unrelenting pressure to buy every house we looked at, it seemed as if every house was the right house for me. After taking a break, I was directed to Malcolm by three different friends who he had helped purchase houses. The contrast between bad and excellent was palpable. He is fundamentally different than other realtors - Malcolm actually understands what it means to be a fiduciary. He consistently put my interests above his own. There was only patience and learned advice as we navigated a months long search for my first home. He helped me find the right house for me, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. You could tell his goal was doing good business, with an eye on future referrals due to the quality of his service - never a short sighted focus on hurriedly closing a deal. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat. He was incredibly responsive, consistently delivering candid and correct advice. He gets it."
JW, Portland (Buyer) Wed, 30 Jun 2021 05:54:16 +1000
"Jolynne was super responsive and quickly "got" us and what we were looking for. She listened to our wants in a home and was able to quickly knock some houses we had seen on listing sites off our list based on what we said we desired. As we were first-time home buyers (from out-of-state, at that!), she walked us through all the steps and answered our questions patiently and knowledgeably. Jolynne was great to work with and we would certainly hire her again for future home purchases---though that might not happen as she helped us find the perfect home that we intend to stay in for a long time!"
Jean C, Bridlemile (Buyer) Sat, 19 Jun 2021 13:39:16 +1000
"Iraida is an absolutely fantastic broker. She is truly a professional and takes the time to understand your goals and needs before putting those into action. Her negotiation skills are second to none. She goes out of her way to make the process as smooth and transparent as possible, answering any questions we had. I would recommend her to anyone looking to by or sell in the metro area!"
Adam, Portland, Oregon (Seller) Wed, 16 Jun 2021 04:53:13 +1000
"Jeff came highly recommended from my wife's mother and he helped us buy a condo for family. From day one he was the most professional broker I've ever worked with. Reeling from my bad experience with the former broker that helped me buy the house that Jeff eventually sold I was extremely pleased to have worked with Jeff. Going back to Jeff for selling my home was a no brainer to me.
I originally approached Jeff this time to help with buying a new construction town house to downsize. Originally worried about taking a loss selling my home but we had the COVID housing winds behind our backs. This was months in advanced and we knew the market was warm at the end of 2020 but didn't expect what would happen in the Spring of 2021.
The experience of selling a home in this hot market was tiring with so many people visiting our house but it was worthwhile in the end. Jeff kept in contact throughout the entire process and kept us up to date on number of people coming to our house that day and the offers as they were rolling in. At the end of the week we had double digit offers and Jeff helped us filter through all of them to pick the one that stood out the most.
Post offer selection was a breeze with a simple inspection day and other inspections to help complete our very short closing period. Market conditions aside Jeff was there whenever we needed him. If I plan on selling my new construction in a few years I would not hesitate to contact him again."

She's knowledgeable and professional. If there's something she doesn't know, she gets right on the issue, doing research and contacting other experts. We found Lori very easy to work with and very approachable. She's excellent at communication, and kept us well informed on new homes and timelines, strategies, etc. We can't say enough good things about Lori and her invaluable help to us in finding and buying a home. Anyone would be very fortunate to have Lori on their team."

Her communication was amazing. I would highly recommend Tina to anyone. Her work ethic is impeccable. The photographer and videos were amazing. Truly from start to finish it was a joy to work with her. Tina, thank you for everything!!"

"We were specifically told by the sellers that Michael was one of the reasons we got the house. He was a great communicator and was on top of the details every step of the way. He was knowledgeable about the area and provided a lot of wisdom throughout our search and purchase. He was patient as we learned about everything involved in purchasing a home.
Michael was a joy to be around and made the whole process as comfortable as it could have been. Michael prepared us for each step of the process. He was honest yet encouraging about the current housing market. I highly recommend Michael Beirwagen."
