Customer Testimonials
"I can't recommend Karen highly enough.
Karen was available at the drop of a hat. She was timely and responsive with every email and text, from early in the morning until late at night. We had immediate access to the properties we were interested in. We had full confidence in her expertise, ability to negotiate and advise.
My overall sales experience was excellent. I made a successful bid on only the SECOND property that I even looked at. The process couldn't have run any more smoothly. I appreciated Karen's calm assurances while negotiating with the seller as well as her knowledge of the market."

"Our broker has stayed with us through thick and thin (literally). The web page relative to our building was well done and kept up.
The property has been for sale for 20 years. We waited until the time was right and the buyer was valid. Years of work went into the sale of this building.
We would recommend Karen for any work related to buying and selling property. She has done an excellent job for us. If the occasion arises we would use Karen's services again."

"Deb Parmley is absolutely one of the Best! I’ve worked with all types of agents during a 40 year career in mortgage lending in California. We were beyond lucky to have found Deb. She is so knowledgeable about the area and goes miles beyond Due Diligence researching every aspect of the properties we were interested in. Oregon R.E. Is different than CA, and Deb brought things to our attention that we were unaware of. No matter what questions came up, she was available and proved immensely helpful and very organized! We wholeheartedly recommend Deb Parmley to everyone!"

"Renee was a gift to work with. I bought another house before I sold mine and I wish I'd had her for that. She responds immediately to messages. Is honest, kind, smart, hardworking and attentive. I could relax and let her do what she does best. I haven't had that experience before. I consider her a friend and a great value to our community. I will recommend her to everyone I can."

"Selecting a real estate professional to represent me in the sale of my home was a major decision. After 16 great years in my home and the many home improvements made I was looking for a professional who could help me realize the best possible return on my investment. Renee Pizzo with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Northwest Real Estate was the right choice.
Renee listened closely to my concerns and needs, provided constructive recommendations, reviewed the market analysis on my home with me, developed a plan specific and then implemented the plan. After seven days on the market Renee presented an offer that was above my initial expectations and a family my home would be perfect for. She was always available to answer my questions or concerns and represented me all the way through closing. Forever grateful for making my first selling experience a great one!"

"My husband and I have purchased homes in various locations throughout the US over the past 35 years and there is no question that Debra Parmley was, hands down, the best agent with whom we've worked. Having only recently moved to Portland, Deb's knowledge of the area was invaluable in helping us focus on the neighborhoods that would be best for us. Deb really listened to what we said about our wants/needs for a new home and, as a result, we didn't waste time looking at houses that were in our price range but not right fit for us. Deb's contacts in real estate-related businesses meant she was able to provide us with names of experts (e.g., contractors, landscape companies, home inspectors) to interview when the need for an expert opinion arose in our home search. Deb was, throughout our search process, accessible, responsive, patient, and an all-around pleasure to work with, and helped us find what we consider to be the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood. We would definitely turn to Deb again if we were to need the services of a realtor and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
Judith Muncy, Portland, OR (Buyer) Wed, 14 Aug 2019 04:30:55 +1000
"This deal went forward because of Deb Parmley's good counsel and experience. I could not have done it without her."
Angela Wegener, Rainier (Seller) Thu, 30 May 2019 09:05:25 +1000
"My wife “interviewed” several different agents/companies, and Karen was easily the best of the bunch. Professional expertise, knowledge of the area, and comforting personality were just a few of the stand out characteristics that Karen exuded."
Justin, Scappoose, OR (Buyer) Fri, 16 Nov 2018 02:27:34 +1000
"I so appreciated my agent's help during a difficult period -- getting this house prepared for sale, listed, and sold with other things going on! Her help and advice was invaluable. She understood and appreciated the Homeowner's Association and their requirements, the buyer's special requirements, and mine, and managed to juggle them all expertly. This transaction couldn't have been smoother, and it is all because of her expert help."

"Deb was an amazing Realtor to work with from beginning to end. She has my full trust and respect.
Deb was always there when I needed her through my whole entire transaction.
Deb was always quick to respond to all documents required for our transaction. She always gave me reminders of when documents needed to be signed and completed. She would give me great advice on local market prices when it was time to make an initial offer on the property I wanted so I had a better idea of what price I wanted to offer."
Crystal Motherway, St. Helens (Buyer) Fri, 04 May 2018 03:43:00 +1000

"Renee Pizzo was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, prompt in answering any questions, listened to our concerns, and just did an all out wonderful job selling this house for us. We have recommended her to other friends and relatives more than once and she has done an outstanding job for them as well. You are lucky to have her on your team!"
John Williams, Scappoose, Oregon (Seller) Fri, 02 Mar 2018 16:51:39 +1000

"Renee Pizzo is a trustworthy person and is very direct about the influence and the chances taken depending on the choices to be made. I had to be overseas with family after signing up with Renee and BH and she took care of all matters including negotiating the contract and the needed providing documents to sign online. Very efficient and satisfactory.
We were lucky to be selling in a sellers market and thus are very happy with the performance and professionalism that Renee Pizzo and BH brought along. I would recommend her unconditionally to family and friends.
I can not think of anything how it could have been done better other than selling the house for even more money.
Thank you Renee Pizzo!"

"I lived in the area for 30 years and knew a number of realtors. My experience with Deb was always positive in the community and especially in the school where I taught for 30 years. I considered no one else.
Her information was always accurate and well-presented. For me, especially, easy to grasp and follow.
Being a novice at home sales and overwhelmed with all the issues in my life, Deb made all the steps very smooth. She was especially patient with questions and clarifying issues for me. And, she was always over-the-top in timely communication and follow-up. Her years of experience were priceless to me."
