Pdx renovations shop the obituaries to find a house to buy or in my case, attempt to Fraudulently buy a house from someone who does not own it.If i was a dummy I could have fallen for their bs but im actually not stupid and know laws and rights. prior to them even "buying" the house they tried to get someone to come change the locks! they knew that the owner (my father in law)had died and then two months to the day after that, his son ( my 2 daughters dad) died in a motorcycle accident. they tried to tell me that my father in laws ex wife was selling the house which she lost her rights to the property in 2011 when they divorced, so then they got my father in laws brothers ex wife ( who was put on the deed in 2015-2017 for the sole purpose of transfering the house to my kids dad in case my father in law died, he had been sick a long time) she was removed and he was the sole owner in 2017 because obviosly she cannot be trusted. I submitted the successor papers and the divorce decree to the mortgage company, in that time they (his ex, his brothers ex wife and pdx renovations) quickly "bought" the house from Evelyn. they gave her 175,000. years ago my father in law bought it for 180,000 and 130,000 was still owed and the property itself is worth 4-500,000, then they tried to kick me and my kids out of the house that has always been meant for their dad(rip) then them. they went online and tried to sell the house and told people who had interest not to talk to us and that we were squatters! they filed for injunctive relief and to get me forcefully removed.i caught joseph taylor in so many lies in his trying to look legit comments on facebook.he even tried to deny pdx renovations had anything to do with it and told the internet i had refused to talk to them and gave a number for me to call them. so i posted screenshots of my pretty much daily arguments with the number he gave me which happened to be pdx renovations. this company should be called pdx variations because they have over 15 differnet business names registered to the same house in beavercreek all doing the same thing.plus more..so yes they gave someobody 175,000$ but they did not buy the house. they have a deed but its not valid, the county will not change ownership to them because the grantor wasnt on the deed, meaning the person who sold it didnt have any rights to sell it so the name and the deed remains in my father in laws name .they knew all along that my father in law was the sole owner and still didnt care. they try to say evelyn has survivorship and that isnt true at all, its a warranty deed and it will stay in my father in laws name until probate.they claim they own it al over the place yet... heres the funny part... They sent me a POSTCARD trying to buy the house!it even had my fatherin laws name on it!So after losing my father in law and my kids dad ( my kids lost pretty much their whole immediate family within two months!)they preyed and harrassed me and added stress and put me down on the internet calling us squatters and in court papers saying i was just a friend of the family and that i refused to give them their property. well it will never be theirs, it will remain in NORMAN STEACH's name until probate. My father in law had ME help him with his will because we are FAMILY. he left everything to jr ( mykids dad) and also in the will it states that if jr dies then his kids get what jr would have.pdx renovations aka pdxf2 in this case claims me and my kids have no claim on the house and that my kids are a third party because they are minors. i am their mother and i can absolutly and legally be responsible for their inheritance until they are 18.court is on the 1st for their attempt to forcefully remove my daughters and i from a house that is theirs through inheritance and the place they have lived and have always been welcome to.the ammount of stress and money for attorneys and harrassment and lies from these people is disgusting. My kids and i are going through enough! they need to back off and leave u be and move on to their next frauduent way of coming up off of people who have lost a loved one, in this case 2! My next step will be to go to the news if this doesnt stop and try to prevent anybody from dealing with crooks . i cannot wait to hear the lies they will respond to this review with, but im ready for it because joesph taylor is a bad liar and i can back up with proof everything i have said!Stay away from any business that starts with pdx, they are built on fraud and count on people to fall for their series of bs -Michelle read more

I have sort of been at a loss for words as to what to say in this review- My experience with this company was so great, and I don't want to come off as some sort of shill. However, I feel there are some really good things that need to be said about Joe and his company. He's done me a very good turn, and I think people should know the kind of guy he has proven himself to be in my eyes. My wife and I decided that it was time to sell our house and we wanted to do it fast. We figured our best bet would be to sell to a developer or a "We Buy Houses For Cash" type. We had a number of interested parties come through and look at the place and most of them left us with a downright greasy feeling by the time our interaction was finished. We go through the whole parade of them except one, PDX Renovations. By the time Joe stopped by, we were expecting more of the same. What happened next is still a bit mind boggling to me. Joe and another gentleman came in, looked around the house, asked a few questions, and then proceeded to tell us that our house was worth way more than any "Cash for House' company would ever give us, himself included. He even accurately guessed what price range the others had offered. He said that with a weekends worth of work it would be ready to sell for as much, if not more, than we paid for it. That's what he said- What I heard was: "I could offer you a little more than those other guys, send a few workmen over to clean up, and sell this place at a profit for almost no effort." In short he could have taken advantage of us, but instead had the integrity and honesty to offer us advice that has turned out to be life-changing in a very real way. He even set us up with a real estate agent who has proven to be an effective, affable, stand-up guy as well. Whatever business you have with this company I am sure you will be treated equitably and professionally. I cannot say enough, honestly. read more

I just wanted to let everyone know about our experience with PDX Renovations here in Portland Oregon. We had an immediate need to sell our home and contacted 6 so called "Cash For Houses" people to come over to look at it and make us an AS IS offer. Our house needed far too much work to go down the traditional avenue of having a realtor sell the place and we didn't have any cash to do the repairs that would definitely come up on a traditional sale. After making appointments with all of these cash buyers guys three of them didn't even show up for our appointment. One guy made us an offer without even coming inside the house. Another guy wrote up a really low and ridiculous offer which would have basically been trying to steal the house from us. Then Lastly Joe with PDX Renovations came in and for obvious reasons we were skeptical that his offer was going to be the same low ball style as the last guy. However it was not. Joe took the time to explain his offer, show us proof that he had the cash funds to close (which no one else even offered to do) helped us understand how the process would work and eased all our concerns by answering the questions we had for him. He was very shining and forthright in his entire dealings even telling us how much money he wanted to make off of the house sale after his remodel. WE did not accept PDX Renovations offer to buy our house but sat on the offer for over 20 days before we decided to take the offer. We called them back and agreed on the price and Joe agreed to activate the contract again. We have now closed the sale and are onto our next chapter in life and are very grateful for the help Joe with PDX Renovations did in fact give us. I would highly recommend PDX Renovations because they are ethical, moral, and they will take the time to explain things and even tell you what they intend to make off your sale to them-Who else would ever do that? read more

In late 2013 and due to an urgent family matter I realized I would need to move from Oregon to California and sell my home in the process. It had little equity in it, needed a tremendous amount of repair work, and I needed to sell it in 30 days or less. I would have never accomplished this without the help of Joe Taylor and PDX Renovations. Though he wasn't the first group I worked with, he did end up being the last and provided me support and guidance all along the way. I was inexperienced in this type of sale process and encountered fast cash/flip businesses showing interest and wanting to sign on my house without having an actual buyer or cash to complete the deal. Joe walked me through the process of terminating my existing contract (already stuck in a long term escrow), and then helped me through the sale process with his company. Joe turned around what I expected to be a disastrous financial situation for me into a transaction that I am very, very happy with and more so that I was able to get to my family within a few weeks of our starting the sale process. I think very highly of Joe. He is an honest man with tremendous integrity, and although we live in a world of contracts, legal agreements, and notarized documentation; I would have trusted Joe and PDX Renovations with a hand shake and would have known confidently that everything would have worked out as he said it would. I would recommend PDX Renovations to anyone wanting to sell their home quickly, or even not so quickly, but not wanting to go through the more standard realtor route. Again and again, thank you, Joe, and PDX Renovations! read more

I am writing this to tell you what an amazing person Joe Taylor & PDX Renovations is. We needed to sell our house and relocate for health reasons ASAP. We had been trying for a while to do "sale by owner". With this we had a lot of "investors" coming out of the woodwork. Joe educated us about "scams" out there, told us where to go to do our homework in checking out "other companies", We had two different "investors" back out on contracts at the last minute (within a week of closing) only to find out thru Joe that they were not investors at all. Joe came in and asked if we we're still interested in selling, we told him YES!!! For my birthday we received a signed contract from Joe, what a great gift, and things have steadily progressed from there. In this day and age it is so hard to find a person who is TRUE TO THEIR WORD....Joe is this person, when he gives you his word HE MEANS IT. Joe is a breath of fresh air, a TRUE, GENUINE person with INTEGRETY. I am very grateful we found him and we are on our way this week to a new chapter in our lives. We couldn't have done this without Joe. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. read more

We had a very good experience working with PDX Renovations. No Complaints! We had been in our current house over 20 years, it was nearly 60 years old and it needed many MAJOR upgrades, repairs, renovations and updating in order to sell in good condition to a local family. Given our challenging life circumstances, limited resources and recent retirement -- our goal was to sell our house at a fair price (given ALL the work that it needed) and find a new home. We also needed a flexible selling/closing time frame to enable us to find, purchase, downsize and move to a place to better suit our needs in our retirement years. Working with PDX Renovations was a good fit for us. The price offered was fair, given its many condition issues. We especially appreciated working with Stephanie, the Closing Director. She was very available and provided superior customer service in helping us navigate the selling process during a very stressful life transition. Stephanie was very knowledgeable, efficient, gave great attention to detail, and communicated with us with both clarity and empathy. ~~ Scott and Annette Walker read more

A Life-Changing Home Sale Experience I cannot recommend PDX Renovations highly enough. When I needed to sell my house, they went above and beyond in ways I never expected from a home buyer. Not only did they purchase my house, but they completely transformed my financial situation: - Paid off my remaining mortgage loan - Covered my down payment assistance loan entirely - Cleared a $5,000 judgment I had from an old car loan - Even paid the sales tax on the house at closing The entire process was straightforward and handled with professionalism. Their team was responsive, transparent, and genuinely cared about helping me move forward without the financial burdens I'd been carrying. If you're considering selling your home and want a buyer who will go the extra mile to ensure you walk away in a better financial position, call PDX Renovations and no one else. They didn't just buy my house--they gave me a fresh financial start. Truly life-changing service! read more

It was a big decision to moved from our family home of 34 years. It came with lots of prayer. We knew we didn't want to pay a realtor up to 20k to sell our house.After finding the perfect house to buy we decided to look for a cash out offer, So we went on line. The first 2 people who came weren't even close to what we wanted and they didn't care about us but just the property. When we found PDX Joe came buy. First of all he was caring and listen to all of our needs and truly wanted what was best for both of us and what would work. He had a eye for what the house could become. Soon after we close the deal!! His partner Mark also was very kind and help a great deal. They look out for all best interest all the way and work with us to the end. This I can truly say If you want the best of the best look no farther PDX is the only way to go!!! Thank you to all the staff at PDX!!! Mrs Oregon 2009 Caliatra Riesterer read more

I was thinking about selling my house, but wasn't sure at first. Joey made this transaction very easy. Gave me an estimate, got the inspectors scheduled in a timely manner. What my goal is to pay off all old debts and go and buy something elsewhere the same way that Joey bought my house..that is with cash! Well, after closing on the sale of my house, I will close on a condo in Woodburn, debt free, and with some cash left over so I was able to retire from work several months earlier than I believed I could months ago! Good to work with, gives a price for the house in cash, and immediately gets the ball rolling. There have been a couple of others who gave me an estimate, but didn't get back to me at all. If your thinking of selling for cash, give him a call. read more

I needed to sell my house quickly due to retirement. I did not want to put a lot of money into it and not be able to sell it. I found PDX Renovations online. As most other people, I was skeptical and cautious about contacting them. I did anyway. I was quickly impressed by their customer service and experience. They made a prompt appointment to see my house. They were friendly, courteous, honest and respectful. They did not nick pick at the flaws, but pointed out the positives. The sell of the house was quick and positive. Everything they promised, we received. I am thankful and grateful to PDX Renovations for their professionalism, honesty, and respectful treatment during the sell of the home we raised our family in. read more

Joe and his entire team have been absolutely amazing to work with. Every time I contacted them by email or phone they responded right away. We were able to put a deal together and they helped me throughout the entire process. I've since referred 2 friends their way and would not hesitate to refer anyone needing to sell fast without the wasted time and hassles of a Realtor. I have had a Realtor list my house before and it SAT on the market. Sat, and sat, and sat some more. With Joe's team, they simply bought it quickly and I was able to move on with life without months of delays and BS. I appreciate that and what it means for my family! read more

My father passed away and need to sell his house fast to cover expenses. This was a painless process and quick took less then a week to finish and close the deal. They took on the loan even with a bad roof leaking plumbing and broken windows. I worked with Joe and we went over the contract and he sent over contracts and went over them together. Never did i feel rushed nor coersed into making the decision. Rather he pointed out the costs and time to make the repairs which of course would have raised the price but i did not have the time nor want to take on the project and contractors to get it fixed to try and get top dollar. Thanks Again! read more

What impressed me most was their willingness to help address my specific needs without hesitation.

I didnt want to take a loan out to pay to do the repairs first and my wife had recently gotten out of surgery so that woulda been tough. Pdx renovations bought my house as it sat and did all the repairs and fixed all the problems with it and got me a fair price. Every thing went smooth and walked me thru the whole process made it easy and saved us money on having to pay a realtor and do that whole deal. Every one was real straight up and even let us close early which we needed becuase we found our next house fast. They made it easy and we liked that a lot. its been a pleasure!! read more

Absolutely worst experience I have ever had, showed up at property walk through five minutes early, met with property owner who was clearly confused and taken advantage of, SHE SAID THEY HADNT EVEN CLOSED A DEAL YET AND SHOULDNT BE HAVING STRANGERS SHOW UP TO THEIR HOME, as soon as the property owner left the man investor came after me, (a woman holding a baby and got right up in my face) , slammed the door on me and told me I was "banned from any of their sales" for showing up five minutes early. Absolutely a shady company! Take your business elsewhere. read more

This company was really really easy to work with. They walked me thru everything I needed to do and took the place of having a realtor and didnt charge me for any of their services. I also didnt have to do any repairs or nothing. I have been having a rough time with my back and they even let me leave behind a few heavy items I wasnt taking with me and took care of them for me which was cool. Gave me a fair price and saved me from dealing with a bunch of randos walking thru my house. All the people I talked to there were real cool thanks again read more

Very simple sales process that closed on time withouth any hitches. Thank you pdx renovations for the easy sale. read more

With the failing economy I lost my job about 8 months ago (thankfully I found one again) I had a rental house in Portland that was just dragging me down. I called Joe at PDX Renovations, had a quick conversation and got it sold without any repairs or out of pocket expenses (which I couldn't afford at the time anyway). If you need to sell and don't want the hassle, call them. It's quick. I never knew such "cash buyers" existed and now I just put down a down payment on my dream house. read more

I think it's truly heinous that this company is attempting to profit off the COVID-19 crisis (see postcard). Portland Renovations LLC encourages evicting and displacing tenants -- apparently just for using the extra time to pay rent that tenants are entitled to, under the current eviction moratorium. I hope you'll think twice before doing business with Portland Renovations LLC. To me, it looks like this company just doesn't care about the people of Portland. read more
