Charity and I have developed an excellent working relationship over many years of my buying and selling properties. She is responsive, attentive, driven, and highly successful at making you successful in your real estate endeavors, be them buying, selling, or both. She and her entire team are a joy to work with. The team's knowledge of the Portland and surrounding markets is both broad and deep, as they all have different backgrounds. The best answer to your question(s) is rarely more than a text message away. Whether you're experienced with real estate transaction, and especially if you're a first time buyer, Charity and her team are one of the best in the Portland region.

Shannon represented us both in the selling of our old home and the purchase of our new one. As…read moreothers have noted she is very responsive and, high accomplished in the demands of the profession. She is also quite meticulous in ways that make a real difference to her clients. I.e.. she has a keen eye for the details that make a difference from the points of view of both buyer and seller. She had several crucial suggestions for us as sellers to maximize the appeal of the property. At the other end she orchestrated all the multiple proceedings which go into a house purchase with minimum of inconvenience to us. She was available to answer questions at just about any time of day on any day. She was always solicitous in an entirely unobtrusive way - and she is indeed willing to lend a hand herself to any cleanup related chores one may have. Our house (a condo) sold almost instantly and a considerable amount of the credit for this goes to Shannon for the guidance she gave us in preparing the property for sale. And the purchase of the new one was a seamless exercise in real estate execution. Lastly but not least, there is her personable disposition to take into account. She is most ingenuous and is quite devoid of all the glib foibles that so often inhabit the real estate business. This is a non-trivial quality when iterated over the multiple interactions involved in selling or buying a house. I would (and actually have!) recommend her to a friend in an instant.

My in laws recommended them to my husband and I, as they have bought many fixer uppers. We specifically worked with Chloe Leatherwood. She was so patient, kind and helpful through this entire process. She would point out things to us that we didn't really know to look for in a home. I never felt like we were pushed or rushed to find a house or look at more houses. We looked at as many houses as we wanted to and she would work with the listing agents to coordinate times for showings that worked with all of our schedules. Once we found the house, her and our lender worked together seamlessly to get the offer out, and communicate with the seller of our home. Ashley Riordan was also extremely helpful with getting bids from contractors to fix the things our inspector found. She also dealt with the many questions I had. In the end everything came together perfectly and we closed a week early! I honestly can't say enough good things about this team! If we ever sell our house to get a different one, in the way distant future, they will be my first call!

Because the Portland market is so wild, it took us quite a few tries to come out on top. With her helpful guidance, we were able to land his dream home--1/3 acre in the city.

She's patient, has great advice, and was able to work with my partner's and my very different personality types. He's a highly involved, detail-oriented person.

Yulee is a wonderful agent! We give her our highest recommendation!…read more My wife and I were looking to purchase a popular style of home, in a desirable area of Portland, where multiple offers were being submitted for homes. It took several offers, until we had an offer accepted. Yulee was patient and made herself available to us when we needed her, for showings or to work on offers.

As real estate newbies they helped us navigate the complicated PDX market by clearly explaining the process, helping us figure out the right neighborhoods to look in, and more importantly thinking about the long term vs. short term. Essentially, they gave us the tools we needed to understand the market and make educated decisions about buying a home. The team is extremely professional, communicative, and thorough. Interacting with a few other agents during the process, whether at an open house or through the seller's side, it's clear that Alissa and team are extremely experienced, and know all the ins and outs of the industry and market. I was particularly impressed by the financial analysis she provided when considering a rental property. Alissa and her team provided us with a clear breakdown of the numbers for each of the properties we were considering ( including taxes, comps, closing costs, expenses, management etc.). This really helped us in our decision making. We were only in town for a few days and amazingly the entire process from first kick off meeting to making an offer on a house took 10 days. From there Alissa and her teams assistance was key - we managed the entire negotiation remotely!! She connected us with a local mortgage broker to help close a loan with a unique financial situation. She walked us through the contracts and comps, and when we bought the home she referring us to contractors and service providers for everything imaginable. We will definitely be going back for our next home purchase!

Claire has been upfront, responsive and supportive the whole time. From my perspective I believe Claire seems to enjoy finding people a home that's right for them - It's not just a sales transaction for her. Claire understood exactly what my wife and I were looking for and provided a quality consultation during and after each showing. Claire has an eagle eye. During one showing Claire asked us what was missing from the kitchen. My wife and I looked around the kitchen and couldn't identify the missing item. Claire noticed the stove was missing. This is just one example of many where Claire pointed out to us the things that weren't so obvious to the normal/fresh house hunter. Claire recently helped us work through a short-sale. As most know there's nothing short about a short-sale. Claire walked us through each part of the long process and provided us with quality consultation along the way to assist us in making solid educated decisions. Claire went far and above the call of duty. During closing we encountered an issue from the appraisal that required us to make some minor repairs. Because it was a short-sale we were limited by time and the tasks were left to my wife and I to complete. Claire insisted that she come out and provide whatever assistance she could. She showed up with her husband and both dug in to help get the items fixed and pass the appraisers final review. The transaction closed on time and my wife and I have since moved in. Thanks Claire! My wife and I definitely recommend Claire to anyone looking to purchase a new home and we will definitely use Claire again for any future real estate transactions.
