We were happy taking our time finding a home but that day we ended up seeing the potential charm in a home in Kenton that we put an offer on.

From being available at very short notice to accommodate our viewing requests during our one in-town long weekend house search, to getting on the phone to request information from other agents, to making sure that our mortgage paperwork was on track for expedited closure date--Andrew and his team did everything to make sure that the process flowed seamlessly. He was hands on for every single step of the process (e.g. being present for the home inspection, calling our lender to make sure that the mortgage paperwork was being processed on time just to name a few). We were incredibly impressed by his professionalism, availability, insight and knowledge, willingness to reach out, ability to problem-solve...if we were to buy or sell in the future we would not hesitate to work with Andrew and his team again. Frankly, it's hard to imagine how anyone else can top the job that he and his team did.

But Andrew was the perfect combination of helpful, without being pushy. I had a lot of conditions about what I wanted, and am pretty picky. My search lasted a really long time, and he never became impatient or acted like I was wasting his time. Andrew was always on my side, and I loved how he would present me with a different viewpoint I might not have considered, yet gave me space to come to my own decisions. He is an excellent negotiator, and it was his strategy that got me my home. He's knowledgeable, always responsive, listened to my concerns, had great input - all around just what I wanted and needed! And an extra shout out to his colleague, Lou, who braved the snowy, icy roads to show me a house which I was SURE was the one (it wasn't). At closing, Andrew and his team walked me through, step by step. As a first time buyer, I had no idea of how it all worked and had a lot of trepidations about the process, and they honestly made it so easy! They took care of all of the details, from inspections through escrow, and Andrew negotiated and coordinated some sewer repairs that had to get done, so I didn't have to. Andrew was absolutely invaluable, and I've already recommended him and will definitely use him again if I am back in the market. I can't recommend Andrew and his team highly enough!

During our search, she really understood what we were looking for and never tried to steer us into something that wasn't right for us (or our budget). She was happy to meet us at odd hours to see properties and showed us some great neighborhoods that met our criteria. When we found a house that suited us (in a very desirable NE Portland neighborhood), Rachel helped us craft a really strong offer that was accepted over a few other offers. Finally, Rachel was extremely helpful during the inspection, negotiation, and closing stage of the process. She has a great eye for details and is very knowledgeable about the inner workings of house systems. She also knows lots of local vendors and contractors. Our repair addendum was successful and it netted us some nice improvements in the home before we closed on the deal. Rachel is good at what she does, but she is also a pleasure to work with--we had lots of questions as first-time buyers and she was always happy to answer them, plus she was friendly and fun to be around. If you're looking for a Portland realtor who is down-to-earth, savvy, and "gets it", give Rachel a call.

She is a top-notch realtor because of her knowledge, resources, references and, most of all, caring personality. We could not have done it without her and will not hesitate to use Rachel again in the future.

As first-time homebuyers, we did tons of due diligence with interviewing realtors. In the end,…read moreErin rose to the top due to her familiarity with & focus on close-in Portland, her matter-of-fact yet positive attitude, and her understanding of exactly what we were looking for in a home. Starting out, Erin chauffeured us around town for two or three Saturdays in a row to scope out available homes. This provided plenty of opportunity for us to ask Erin any question we could think of, which ran the gamut of real estate, architectural styles, home maintenance and repairs, favorite restaurants, and even how to care for backyard chickens. Erin had well thought out answers to most of our questions, and always followed up in a timely fashion to those few questions that stumped her. Erin is a great listener and quickly understood what we were looking for in a house, so we didn't waste time looking at places that would not interest us. We had fairly narrow search criteria (I wanted walkability and my wife wanted a large yard), so this complicated our search and we feared that the process could drag on for a year or more. And with such low inventory and skyrocketing demand, things looked bleak. However, Erin always kept a positive attitude and was confident that we would find our dream home. In just over a month's time, Erin flagged a house for us that met all of our criteria although we were unfamiliar with the area (SW). Erin was able to think outside the box though and guessed well that this house/Multnomah Village might be just the place for us. The house had been on the market for a while with no offers because the price drops were not showing up on the normal websites (zillow, realtor, estately, etc). However, Erin had insider realtor information that showed the price drops and we are convinced that had Erin not been our realtor, we never would have even known about this house. Upon visiting, it was love at first site. The house was spot-on what we were looking for and in a price range that we could afford. We knew we had to act fast. Erin reached out to the seller's agent and got lots of great intel. She also got comps on neighboring homes that had sold recently. Within a couple days, Erin submitted our offer that was substantially lower than asking, along with a 1-page letter (Erin's suggestion) about us and how much we loved the sellers' house. In a matter of days, we came to agreement with the sellers and negotiations began. Erin did all of the busy work throughout the process, which made our lives incredibly easy. She worked with the seller's agent on all the details relating to contractors, the inspection, needed repairs, and timing so that everything was done by our loan deadline. Erin had tons of great contractor recommendations who do quality work, and she met with them at the home numerous times to get bids and ensure the work was getting done and done well. We also had tons of forms to sign during the process, but Erin uses a system that allows users to electronically view and sign documents, making the process incredibly easy and fast. In just over two months from our first visit to the house, we are now first time homeowners and absolutely adore our house. Erin was with us every step of the way and we cannot imagine having had a better realtor. We highly recommend Erin for your home-buying needs!

She is honest, smart, funny, conscientious, and an all around great person. Portland is extremely lucky to have her! I selected Erin as my realtor from her Yelp reviews to help me find a home to relocate to from California. I had no idea where I should live in Portland. Erin spent a lot of time getting to know me and what I was looking for and needed in a Portland neighborhood. She is a life long resident of Portland so she knows everything there is to know about Portland, the neighborhoods, and what works well for different types of households. Once we had an accepted offer, she was incredibly helpful and diligent throughout the closing processing. Again, coming from California, I was not sure what to expect and what the issues might be in a Portland home. She helped me thru it all and made sure everything was checked out and verified. I would never have been able to do it all without her! Her assistant, Liz, is also great! She is a sweetheart and also became a trusted advisor! I have now been in my home for almost a month and I am so pleased with Erin's expertise and advice. I love my home, love the neighborhood, and I have Erin to thank for all of it!
