There aren't enough good things to say about Grace and I highly recommend her for all your real…read moreestate needs. Grace helped us navigate buying a new home and then selling our old home and she made the whole process a seamless as possible. We looked for YEARS for the right house in west linn and Grace never lost patience with us or pushed us into something we weren't ready for. When it came to buying she helped us navigate negotiations in a way that felt fair but we also felt like we got a great deal. When it came to selling we were eager to get our house sold quickly (as we'd just purchased a new home) and Grace got it done. She had the house staged to perfection, held open houses (she even left her kids event to show our house to someone!). Ultimately we ended up with a very clean and smooth sale and we owe it all to Grace. Grace is a font of wisdom about everything real estate related and she has an amazing network of tradespeople to ensure a smooth transaction. She'll tell you where the best school districts are, which houses will be a commuting headache, and whether she thinks something will be a money pit. Grace truly cares about getting you into the right home for your family, and she will listen to your priorities and make them her priorities. Grace is the very best. Grace also has a fantastic sense of humor and that goes a long way in stressful times.

I was completely satisfied with every aspect of the process. I highly recommend Grace kim & JS kim if you're looking for a house you want or if you plan on delivering it to someone else. Your team is best of best!

They are very knowledgeable of the market and gave awesome advice. Helped guide me through entire process. Provided support and recommendations when needed.

Bobbi and Alicia are truly excellent, and I recommend them wholeheartedly. My wife and I were…read morelooking for our first house, and had never been through the homebuying process before. Bobbi helped us define our requirements and really helped us crystalize what we were looking for - asking questions we didn't think we needed to know the answers to - but ended up being highly valuable and helped us narrow down our search criteria. Now, that meant we were looking for a goldilocks house that was just right for us. But we were in a position to bide our time and learn what areas and layouts we liked and didn't like. Bobbi helped us through all of it and was thorough, professional, and thoughtful. We truly believe having Bobbi and Alicia as our buyers agent gave us an advantage in the market. Bobbi negotiated excellent concessions and helped us have confidence we weren't buying a lemon. It was surreal when we finally got our keys, and we couldn't be happier with our new home. Thank you Bobbi and Alicia!

But not with Linda; we communicated regularly with phone, text, email and Docusign. With her experience, she read the market perfectly, priced the property appropriately and supplied terrific contacts for house prep (painters, landscapers, electricians, staging, photos, etc.) She helped negotiate a contract and navigate HOA questions. A true real estate professional. Linda Heinrichs is the best!

My husband and I worked with Linda Heindrichs when we relocated from Northern California to Lake…read moreOswego, and she was the third realtor we interviewed because we were specifically looking for someone who truly knew Lake Oswego intimately and was an expert on the area. We were serious buyers, ready to relocate quickly and lock in the right home, and from the very beginning it was clear that Linda was the right fit. Linda is experienced, incredibly knowledgeable, and has great contacts throughout the community. She truly listens to her clients' needs, asks the right questions, and follows through on every detail. Her communication is excellent, her attention to detail is outstanding, and she guided us through the process with patience and clarity while educating us about the nuances of the area. Having personally overseen many real estate transactions from start to finish, I can spot a true professional quickly and Linda had everything we were looking for and more. She is thoughtful, responsive, and completely on top of every step of the process. I give Linda my five stars and would highly recommend her without hesitation. I would absolutely use her again and refer her to anyone looking to buy or sell in Lake Oswego or the Portland area.. Kristine and Matthew Curwood

My husband was transferring from San Mateo, CA to Portland, OR. We were referred to Jennifer…read morebecause she would be available during our visit in March to help us look at some homes. Jennifer is very honest, likeable, friendly, punctual and you can always depend on her to respond to her emails or her phone calls right away. She really helped with moving things along and getting things done, especially when it can be difficult with us being in a different location. (She met with an electrical and roofing company for us so that we could get bids.) She even would go the extra step giving us information about our area and what deals were out there. We had a pleasant experience and would highly recommend Jennifer as your realtor. She seems very dedicated to her job and her clients.

Angela Stevens has been helping my wife and buy our first home in the Portland area (we're about to…read moreclose on it), and working with her and her team has been a dream. She is a ninja on all levels when it comes to all things things real estate. She even is certified in home staging, and has real estate in her veins. 12 years of experience, and her family has been running the business like 24 years. Angela is also a joy to work with. She deeply cares and she provides extreme value to her clients. She is personable, funny, yet extremely knowledgeable and sophisticated when it comes to business and real estate investing. She is down to earth yet very successful, and she'll fight for you. If you're looking for one of those super seasoned realtors that is going to save you tens of thousands of dollars helping you to find your dream, who is going to fight for you whether you're a buyer or a seller, then Angela Stevens and her team at Hatch Homes (Keller Williams) is the one you're looking for. She serves the greater SW Portland area, including Vancouver. Thanks Angela! :)

Angela still rises above the rest. She has really extensive experience, genuinely cares about what's best for her clients, has an efficient, family owned practice and can refer just about anyone needed in a matter of minutes. Anytime I have needed to reach her, she's right there for me. She's got the business knowledge that gives her client/s an edge if they work with her. After having a bad experience with a previous realtor, I am so relieved that I found Angela. She thoroughly knows her way around both ends of real estate (buying and selling). She is also just a kind, easy-going person to talk with and be around. Even her referrals remind me I'm in good hands. It's a great move to reach out to Angela whether you're buying or selling. You won't regret it.

We cannot recommend Opt Real Estate highly enough -- especially Drew Coleman and Katie Henderson,…read morewho guided us through both the sale of our Portland home and the purchase of our new home in Vancouver, WA. Our situation had several unique circumstances. We were selling a home in one of Portland's most desirable neighborhoods during a slower housing market while also planning a move across the river. From the very beginning in September 2025 through closing this year, Drew was consistently by our side every step of the way. What we appreciated most about Drew was his honesty and professionalism. He never exaggerated the market, never overpromised, and was always a complete straight shooter. His feedback was direct, thoughtful, and grounded in real market insight. That level of transparency gave us tremendous confidence throughout the process. Thanks to his strategy and guidance, we ultimately sold our home at list price -- roughly $200,000 more than several other realtors believed was possible. That outcome speaks volumes about Drew's understanding of the market and his ability to position a home effectively. At the same time, Katie Henderson was incredible on the buying side. When one of the homes we were planning on purchasing unexpectedly fell through, she pivoted immediately. With the closing of our Portland home only about three weeks away, time was incredibly tight. Katie managed to arrange showings for five different homes with less than 12 hours' notice, helping us quickly regroup and keep momentum. One of those homes ended up being the perfect new home for us in Vancouver, and we couldn't be more grateful for her responsiveness and dedication. Through all of our questions, anxieties, excitement, and (admittedly) a bit of obsessive attention to detail, Drew and Katie were steady partners who treated us with patience, professionalism, and genuine care. Selling and buying a home at the same time can be incredibly stressful, but Opt Real Estate made the experience feel manageable and even enjoyable. We are deeply grateful to Drew, Katie, and the entire team at Opt Real Estate. If you want knowledgeable, honest professionals who truly advocate for their clients, you will be in excellent hands with them.

To describe the experience of working with Aaron Pontius, you need to see the movie "Jerry…read moreMacguire." Among the famous lines it contributed to cinematic history (i.e. "You had me at hello," "You complete me") was one tearfully delivered by Rod Tidwell, an athlete who owed his success to: "Jerry Maguire, my agent. You're my ambassador of Kwan." I never fully understood that line until I worked with Aaron.     Aaron is more than an agent, he's your ambassador of Kwan. He embodies integrity, decency, professionalism, broad expertise, and human kindness. Aaron saw us through a four-year odyssey to find a home we could love as much as the one that we had to leave. When the deal was made, he steadied us during a four month-long wait for closing day delayed by an uncooperative tenant who wouldn't move out. Then, he helped us accomplish a whirlwind of repair projects at our new home, to ready it for move-in. After that, he masterfully managed the sale of our prior home during the stormy, windy fall and winter months as high interest rates stubbornly hung on. He secured us a full price offer from a wonderful family on New Year's Eve.     When emergencies arose, at all stages of this process, Aaron always took our calls immediately and always had a solution - even on a holiday when the tenant who was stalling our move had a sewage emergency, and the prior owner was non-responsive. Only one overwhelmed plumber was working on that holiday in the metro area. Aaron called in a favor and paid the cost himself. Another time, I was stranded 20 minutes from home on a Friday night just before Christmas. It had nothing to do with our real estate business, but I called Aaron. Aaron's capable and kind wife and partner, Val, dropped everything and came to my rescue, just to give me a ride and get me out of the cold. These are just two of many examples that prove how genuinely kind both Aaron and Val are. People matter much more to them than money or getting ahead.     Aaron is every client's ambassador of Kwan, but also manages to carve time out each week to serve meals to the houseless, and to volunteer for humane causes. You couldn't find a better human, or a smarter professional, to be your agent. In the tumultuous world of real estate, we all need more than an agent. We need Aaron, our ambassador of Kwan.

This is an update to my previous review. I have since…read morespoken with Jenny, one of the owners. She became aware of my emails only after seeing the review. The "clientcare" email isn't monitored so she's having it removed. As far as my concerns about feeling unprotected and stumbling into this mess, she explained they don't have access to previous transactions not involving their own company. That meant they did not see previous inspections showing the need for repairs. With that in mind, she'll ask agents and inspectors to be more assertive about the potential buyer having a full and complete inspection report before signing anything. So I'm changing my review back to 5 stars because Emmy was amazing, and the owner was responsive once she knew of the problem. I'm satisfied with the outcome. ....now, the FLIPPER--that will be a different review altogether.....

If you're looking for someone who's knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about helping you find the right home, then we highly recommend Emmy.
