We bought a great house with Declan. He not only handled all of the paperwork and answered all the…read moreprocess questions, but he was a great strategic adviser. We found the house we really wanted and he advised us to make a strong early offer, which avoided getting us in a bidding war later/ This was against my cheap guy idea of putting in a low ball offer. This advice got us the house and there with multiple over asking offers left waiting in the wings. I have always thought/joked that realtors were bottom feeders that just got in the way, but Declan changed my mind and earned deserved every penny of the sellers money. Nice guy too.

Even so, Jason and his team remained focused on our goals and worked tirelessly to ensure they were met. We were especially impressed by Jason's attention to detail and thorough preparation throughout the process of marketing our home. After every showing, Jason would sit down with us to debrief, sharing specific feedback about whether a visitor was a serious buyer, what they liked or didn't like, and how well our house fit their needs. He was particularly skilled at helping potential buyers envision how the house could be transformed into their ideal home. Beyond working directly with buyers, Jason demonstrated a deep knowledge of the real estate market. He regularly stopped by to discuss trends in interest rates, the types of buyers currently active in the market, and how this information should shape our marketing strategy. Despite the difficult market conditions, we never lost confidence in Jason and his team. In the end, our house sold and our goals were achieved, thanks to their hard work and professionalism. If you are buying or selling a home, you cannot go wrong with the Current Dwelling Group.

We took a quick look at a couple of homes while we were in town from Canada, and put in an offer. Because we had a longed-for international trip planned, Jason took care of the details we would otherwise be present for, big important items like financing and inspection and meeting future contractors all happened online across several time zones. This was the most extraordinary care and service. Professional, kind, market savvy and informative, the team walked us through a process that we hadn't known (since we hadn't bought a home in the USA in the past decade.) Now we are renovating the home with advice from them on the best investments to make. It really has been a sweet experience, and I hope we get to enjoy their company as friends and counsel well into our future.

Steve listed my grandmother in laws home two years ago. I know a lot of realtors, but given my…read moresweet grandmother in laws age, fragile state of mind since her husband of 60 years' passing a few years ago, and her well meaning but headstrong ways, I felt Steve would be the perfect match for her. He not only met but exceeded my expectations. Not only did he get the right price for my grandmother in laws house, but he also was extremely patient with her despite at times, she being very difficult and stubborn. Steve never lost his cool but also never wavered from his recommendations that ultimately were in my grandmother in laws best interests. Both I, my grandmother in law, and my father in law (a great guy but not one to be vocal with compliments) were impressed with Steve's performance. Since then, I have referred others to Steve, and I have learned that Steve's professionalism and effectiveness in getting the job done are the rule, not the exception. Steve Kieran is a top notch realtor for both the Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA area. He is one of a kind and I highly recommend him.

She was willing to see 10 homes in a day (as we were out of towners and didn't have a lot of time). She let us send her a list of homes that we wanted to see.

And was willing to work with us every step of the way, and was not only very informed but if we asked her something she didn't know she made sure to get back to us with the answer. I can't recommend her enough!

During somewhat difficult buyer's market in the middle of Winter in Jan of 2026 in Portland Metro area when the activities in real estate market is relatively slower, his professional strategy has proven to work to close the deal.

He is extremely knowledgeable and very familiar with Portland Metro area. His kind manner and nice personal characters added to a nice experience in selling my home.

We met…read moreShawn early on where he listened carefully, gave us great advise, and helped guide us (even when we switched our minds multiple times) throughout the entire process of finding a home. We hit the market at a weird time where it took us over a year to find something, but throughout it all Shawn was supportive, patient, super responsive, and gave us expert advice every step of the way. I mimic other reviewers where Shawn is always looking out for what will be best for his clients. He is very honest in his assessment on the current and future assessment of homes my wife and I were interested in. I highly recommend Shawn Realty to anyone who is need of a Realtor that you can can trust and makes you feel like they are in your corner! Thank you Shawn!

Extraordinary. Exemplary. Exceptional…read more Ben Farley quickly sold our home. But he was so much more than just a listing agent. From the first conversation, through to the end, Ben was professional, gracious, and diligent. Ben Farley's professionalism in real estate was demonstrated consistently including a streamlined listing process, superb marketing products and processes, excellent showing protocols, effective attention to offers and negotiations, expert guidance dealing with report issues, and preparation for moving. Our home immediately had many tours, multiple offers, and sold for our asking price. We had high expectations of Ben due to the testimonials of others and references from trusted friends. Our expectations were consistently exceeded. Ben, and his team, are bright, informed, diligent, patient, engaged and productive. We cannot adequately express our enthusiasm for Ben Farley and the services of Genesis Realty.

After having a not-so-great experience with our first realtor, we decided to interview a few realtors and pick one that worked for us. Immediately after talking to Ben, we both knew he was good at what he does. Ben made buying a second home as smooth as possible for us. He is so knowledgeable and explained everything in a very digestible way. What I appreciated most about working with him is that he was honest but gave us his opinion in a respectful way. In fact, looking back I realized that Ben had good instincts. We didn't always listen to him, but he ended up being right about a lot of things. In the end, we found a house that was big enough for our growing family and bought it almost 20K less than the appraisal price! We are so happy that we found him and will continue to recommend Ben to everybody we know!

Phil Walker was our realtor. Now, he's our friend…read more I first met him in May, when he took us house hunting. And by us, I mean my mother, my sister, and myself. Three women, one man. House shopping. I think most men would have caved by the second or third house. Phil was a house shopping champ. He was the most patient, understanding, calm and relaxed man on a shopping spree. He heard all our feedback and picked houses for us to look at that met our needs. We weren't ready to buy yet, so that meant we had to go out again. My husband and I came back in June. We were on a very tight timeline and needed to find something fast. Phil took us to 18 houses in one day. EIGHTEEN. I've never heard of any realtor doing that, and we were desperate to find something, so he did what needed to be done. We didn't find anything that day, but he took us out again the next day, and we bought the first house we came to. He worked hard to negotiate the purchase for us and gave us invaluable advice. We trust him completely and he delivers. We had some very particular requests when buying our house. Our main concerns were finding a great area for our children with good schools. Of course we had a wish list for the house, but we knew what was priority. Not only did Phil help us find a great area to live in, our house fulfilled our entire wish list. Phil has lived in Beaverton/Portland his whole life. His two children are now in highschool, so between his friends kids and his own, he knows every elementary, middle and highschool in the area. His knowledge of neighborhoods and school districts was exceptional. Expert level, even. He drove us around to introduce us to the area and show us great places to shop and eat. He listened to our needs and provided. Not only did he help us find a house, but he went above and beyond by bringing his teenage son and helping us unpack our moving truck into storage! It was incredible. He's been a great resource for referrals. He's now one of my first calls when I'm looking for a vendor. I know he'll have a referral, idea, or suggestion. As stressful as buying a house on a time crunch is, it couldn't have been better than it was with Phil as our realtor. His relaxed demeanor and calm personality were what kept us sane. If there is ever a reason why we'll move again, we will only ever call Phil Walker. I'm so thankful to him for working hard for us and highly recommend him to anyone!

I don't even know where to begin with River City Living and their team! We had the pleasure of…read moreworking with Natalie White and Justin Landwehr and they were both phenomenal. We had selected Natalie as a realtor back in July of 2017 knowing that we likely wouldn't buy until early 2018 or spring of 2018. Even with the huge time gap, Natalie sent us houses that met our criteria daily and was always so prompt with responding to us in the meantime with any first time home buyer or general questions that we had. Her knowledge and professionalism sets her above and beyond! Being that she grew up in the Quad Cities, has family still in the Quad Cities and has worked for many years here, she knew the market like the back of her hand! My absolute favorite thing about Natalie is that she makes the entire process seem so easy and stress free! She is always so honest and makes you feel like her friend and like she genuinely cares about making sure that you find the home that is best for you, regardless of how long it takes or how many you have to look at. From the beginning, Natalie always said "I will never be the reason you miss out on your dream house", and she absolutely stuck to it. Anytime a house came up that we were interested in seeing, if she was not available-she had one of her colleagues lined up to make sure we got in to see it! When our dream house came up on the market in March, we knew just from pictures, it was the one! We were so excited to see it, we literally could not sleep. Natalie was unavailable to show it to us, but lined up Justin first thing the next morning to give us a tour. From there, Justin worked with us in making the offer and advising us on how to approach our offer and review comps. Justin was in contact with us up until Natalie took over and was just as amazing and diligent to work with as the rest of the River City team! I can't say enough amazing things about this team-they are all wonderful! I have even met Ryan from attending their open houses before and they are the real deal. They are all extremely knowledgeable and professional! If we ever decide to move, Natalie will be my first phone call! Thank you for making our dream house a realty and being with us every step of the way!
