Adam and his entire team were fantastic to work with. My wife and I just purchased our first home…read morewith him and we could not have asked for better service. Adam was always available to answer my numerous questions. When we needed a pre-approval to put an offer in on a house, it was done immediately. He was very familiar with setting up VA loans, walked us through every step of the process, and got us a good deal on the mortgage. I plan to use him in the future if I ever purchase a home again.

I'll start by saying that I can be challenging to work with. I interviewed several people for the…read moreloan part of my mortgage, and Adam was one of the top two candidates. His energy and enthusiasm made him the front-runner. After discussing the numbers with him, he outperformed everyone else. If you're looking to get a loan for your mortgage, here are my steps: Step one: interview a few candidates. Step two: ensure that one of those candidates is Adam from Mortgage Express! Not only was he accurate, but his enthusiasm for delivering results is infectious. You really need that kind of energy when you're trying to purchase a home; you don't want a lackadaisical agent. In hindsight, the only issue we encountered was a misunderstanding on my part, and he was quick and patient to resolve it. Sorry Adam ; ) Now, it's been a month, and things are settling down, thanks to him. I don't like giving reviews or doing surveys, but he deserves some recognition!

He listened to what I had to say and gave me a great overview of what the project would entail and how the price of the job is figured. I could tell the knowledge of his craft runs deep.

We had a consultation with Michael to explore the possibility of excavating a basement under our…read morehouse. Michael walked us through the a variety of options and rough estimates of the all-in-costs and timelines. His information led us to buy a different house instead of building out a basement. He also provided us with fantastic information about how to assess concrete in basements in Portland, as well information on build years and neighborhoods that frequently had suspect basements. His "concrete school" lessons were so valuable as we sought a new house. I am certain he saved us tens (hundreds) of thousands of dollars by preventing us from making offers on homes with suspect foundations or at least building repair costs into the offers. One house we turned down ended up having sewage leaking into the finished basement! If we do any excavation or concrete work in the future, Michael will 100% be our excavation and concrete guy.

I've worked with Shelley on a few different occasions: purchasing a house, selling it a few years…read morelater, and then purchasing another house. The home sale went smoothly. The house was efficiently marketed, listed, and sold. The communication provided by Shelley was great, and she was helpful and patient with any requests or questions we had. The purchases went well too--in each case, it was a seller's market, so aggressive tactics were needed to get the deals done. We were successful with those in large part because Shelley was really communicative with both sides, and prompt in getting documents and questions turned around. I recommend working with Shelley!

John McPherson provides the most responsive, professional and outstanding customer service we have…read moreever received from a real estate professional. He is honest, and looks out for his client's best interest. He holds himself to the highest ethics, code of conduct, and integrity. He also knows people in the mortgage industry and gave us a stellar recommendation for a mortgage broker. That team was amazing as well. The seller of the home we purchased was a realtor himself, and was quite the opposite of John in every way. We were so glad to have chosen John to work with us to buy and sell our home. John is outstanding at negotiating in difficult situations. He is a fantastic communicator and timely. We had an exceptionally complex transaction with the selling of our home and purchase of a new one simultaneously. We were only interested in selling our home if we could successfully close on a specific home, otherwise the deal was off. The seller of the home we wanted was difficult to deal with in many ways, and had a third party interest involved which added to the complexity of the transaction. Even with the difficult people and complexities involved, John wrote everything so that it worked for us. He made sure it did. John has an impeccable and amazing ability to calculate and know appropriate value to sell or buy a home at due to his background and experience. He's not guessing like other realtors we worked with in the past. You don't have to wonder if you are getting a good deal, or if the bank will loan the money based on value. He provides an appropriate value and he narrows the range to guide home buyers in making aggressive offers. He helps sellers in understanding if they are receiving the best offer possible or not. You can absolutely trust what he says. We sold in a few days to the first person who looked at our home for full price because the home was worth it and John nailed the value. We've worked with 9 real estate agents over the years, and only once each. That says it all. No one met our expectations. After working with John, in our minds, he put them ALL to shame. We would never sell or buy a home again without John in our corner. He is a true real estate professional.

This is one of those reviews where there was no work done and, in this case, I never even met the…read morerepresentative because he didn't show up for an appointment nor did he acknowledge or apologize for that. Many people, out of anger and spite, give the company 1 star, but I don't think that's fair. I'll simply give it a 3 and write what happened. I made an appointment with someone named Gary to come out and view an area in my backyard where I wanted to replace a shed I'd taken down a few years ago. I still had an existing concrete slab. Before the planned visit, I spent some time preparing. I took a lot of pictures, selected the best ones, and sent them to Gary with some descriptions for them. We also exchanged several emails to set up the appointment among which Gary pointed out that my existing slab might be too close to the property line to use. I did some research on the City of Portland website and prepared some information to share with him when he came over. At the day of the appointment, I got up much earlier than I like to, gathered my stuff, and waited. He never showed up and never called. I wrote him an email expressing my displeasure and he never responded. Essentially he wasted my time, and didn't have the courtesy to apologize or dignify the situation with a response. For these reasons, I give the company 3 stars and I personally would never use the company in the future.

Gary was incredibly responsive and knew how to make the shed match the house. He even noticed the lack of grid lines in my house windows and updating the plans to match. I recommend having his team do your compacted gravel base as well. The team knows about their craft and take time to give you advice about things like caulking and painting and landscaping around the shed. The Saltbox style of shed is actually really pretty and the high roof pitch makes the shed feel quite spacious. Joneses Sheds are worth the price. If you want a shed that will complement your house and provide a lot of storage (and won't fall apart in a few years), go with Joneses.
