Andy significantly exceeded our expectations and truly sets the bar for real estate professionals.
As first-time homebuyers, we were looking for someone to guide us through the process and relentlessly advocate on our behalf. Andy’s professionalism, integrity, open communication and responsiveness, honesty, and willingness to go above and beyond was admirable. We are beyond thrilled to have such a beautiful home it would not have been possible without Andy on our side. We are so grateful to have worked with Andy and recommend him to the highest extent.
I would highly recommend Jamis to anyone looking to buy a house.
I would highly recommend Jamis to anyone looking to buy a house. Even in this really difficult housing market, Jamis kept my hope up, reminding me not to settle or get discouraged after several offer denials and it worked! I bought my first home which is an amazing 3 bedroom with not one, not two but THREE fireplaces and a huge backyard! At first, the sellers didn’t want to sell to us because we were FHA, but Jamis worked her magic to build a relationship with them, sold the idea to them and was successful! They chose us as the back-up on their house and when the first buyer dropped out, we swooped in and got it! Jamis even managed to get the sellers to agree to give us a large credit at closing even though it was sold as-is! She stuck beside me through-out the process, providing resources, tips, and advocating on my behalf resulting in me not only getting the house of my dreams but saving me thousands of dollars during a hot housing market. She continues to provide resources even after closing as she is committed to not only me buying a house but being able to stay in my house long-term. She is extremely responsive and knows what she is doing! Highly skilled real estate agent I will use again if I ever need one and will recommend to all my friends and family. Thank you Jamis!!
Bonnie is a joy to work with.
We recently purchased a second property through her. She knows Portland inside-out. Bonnie is extremely pleasant and patient, with great ideas and insight-instinctively sensing your likes and dislikes. I would certainly recommend Bonnie to everyone. PS Bender, her new rescue dog, added more fun to the experience.
Esmé Harbour came to us through a friend’s recommendation.
I immediately found Esmé to be enthusiastic, insightful, and thorough in her thoughts and questions. Esmé really went above and beyond what I have ever encountered in a real estate transaction. I am certain that were it not for Esmé's pleasant personality, pure hard work and dedication, we would not have been able to buy the home. And she made it so workable and convenient for us to manage everything. I cannot stop praising her and marveling at what she helped us accomplish.
I’m pleased to say we now have a friend as well as a realtor for life.
We were recommended to Nicole from several members of our community and I'm so glad we were! During our initial consultation, mind you this was over 2 years ago, she put us right at ease with her friendliness, knowledge of the industry and by sharing her expertise in her field with us. As first time home buyers this was a long process of us finding the right home for our budget. Nicole supported and encouraged us every step of the way. She was patient when we needed to take a break but never left our side during this process. Nicole is a great communicator, ensuring that she responds promptly with answers and if she doesn't have the answer she digs for it until the question is resolved. She has amazing connections in the industry to where we always felt like we had an entire team of support from our lender to home inspector to referrals for where to go for appliances. She has truly built a trusted name for herself! We are so pleased with our new home. We couldn't have done it without Nicole. She went above and beyond for us. And I'm pleased to say we now have a friend as well as a realtor for life.
Jason & Tamara (Purchase in 2024)
There are so many things to love about this team.
Jessica was amazing, and so was her coworker, Jenessa. There are so many things to love about this team.
Right from the very beginning, Jessica had a thorough conversation with me about what I was looking for in a home, and perhaps more importantly, what my dreams were. She followed this up with information and dialogue that helped me make my amorphous desires into real criteria in the current market. Jenessa documented my preferences and goals all along the way. This thoughtfulness and preparation made it possible for us to act quickly once the right home popped up!
Jessica was beyond responsive, setting up viewings the minute I expressed interest in a property. Because of her quick action and Jenessa's skilled coordination, I was able to make an offer on incredibly short notice by the deadline. (It was a competing offer--and because of Jessica's strategic thinking, mine was accepted!) After that, things moved fast, and Jessica and Jenessa offered tools, unparalleled coordination, and resources that guided and empowered me every step of the way.
Finally, Jessica is a brilliant teacher on all things home-related. I had never looked for a house before, and I learned so much about the market and what to look for in a house from the viewings Jessica and I went to. And as a proud, brand-new homeowner, I continue to reach out to them for recommendations and resources.
Jessica's understanding of the market, skill in the process, and willingness to teach along the way made my first home purchase a fantastic experience. As I said to Jessica several times, I couldn't imagine doing this without her.
I contacted Living Room Realty to search for a N.E. Portland house for a family of six and was referred to Constance.
I've been through the process a few times, but this was to be the first where we were searching for a true home base - and it had to happen in a pandemic year. We are so grateful to have had her support and assistance. Through inspections, failed inspections, complex sales agreements and negotiations - her communication was excellent and things always moved forward efficiently. It was such a relief to work with someone who really understood Portland and was personable, direct, and professional. We have ended up in a home we absolutely love, and it would not have happened without Constance. Thank you!
Alyssa Starelli helped me with a home purchase last year.
She is the best kind of agent. She listened to my needs and wasted none of my time looking at properties that were out of my price range. And I was looking for cheap! In a certain area. Agents work on a commission, so this was not a lucrative sale, however she treated me as if I were her best client. Every time a new listing became available with potential she took me to see it. And it took awhile, but she hung there. She used her extensive knowledge in neighborhoods and architecture to guide me towards a good investment. She pointed out things that could become a problem. It took almost a year, so at times I felt pretty discouraged that we would succeed, but we found it! I am now living in a home with the size, area, quality and price I was hoping to find.
Chad is epitome of a great REALTOR® and more.
He made the experience of buying our first home so great and explained everything to us through every step of the process. He is personable and really listens and hears what you are looking for. He is very prompt with response times and moves fast when you know you are interested in a home. I can't say enough how great he and we truly feel like we also made a friend. If you are looking for someone who cares about finding the best fit for you, is a great negotiator, and knows the area extremely, look no further!
Sean is the Real Deal!
We connected with Sean as we moved from Chicago to Portland and he could not have been a more ideal agent for us. He immediately connected with us and identified exactly what it was we were looking for and made sure to understand our wish list and priorities. Searching from out of town became a breeze with the property updates he would send to us and his willingness to go get eyes on places we liked. When we finally did get in town for some real live house hunting, he even picked us up at our hotel and carted us around for the weekend. Sean is amazing and it would be to your advantage to have him on your team. Once we found a place, his professional opinion and knowledge of the market put us on a path to a successful purchase. He was with us every step of the way and always put our interests at the top of his list. I cannot stress enough that Sean is an amazing real estate agent and he will work for you. I am so grateful that our paths have crossed and cannot thank him enough.
Sharon is an ABSOLUTE MASTER real estate agent!
As first time home-buyers, my wife and I knew virtually nothing about the process of buying a home. We knew very little about real estate, home construction styles, what to look for in older homes, the list goes on. As intimidating as all of that is, Sharon made the entire process easy and we actually had a lot of fun finding a home with Sharon. Sharon is an ABSOLUTE MASTER real estate agent. During the whole process, we felt like Sharon was on our team -- she never once pressured us into putting an offer on a place. Sharon literally wanted us to have the best home we could afford on our budget and our new home absolutely meets and exceeds our expectations. I don't know why anybody would work with someone who has less experience than Sharon. She is knowledgeable on home construction, renovation and she had a large knowledge base of homes from different periods and their pros/cons and she's not shy about giving it to you straight -- which is what you want when you're making this kind of investment. Furthermore, over her long and successful career in real estate, Sharon has formed strong relationships with highly skilled contractors who she can text or call to get quotes on really tight deadlines. We bought an old home and Sharon wanted to make absolutely sure the house was in good shape and that we had access to the right people if anything needed to be fixed or updated. We could not be happier with our purchase and could not recommend Sharon highly enough. Do yourself a favor and work with Sharon Bloudek, she is hands down the most experienced real estate agent in this area.
I highly recommend Veronica because she is organized, respectful, knowledgeable and easy to work with.
Veronica knows the area very well and gives valuable input in each property’s potential challenges. She helped us find our new house in the Portland area in about a week. We were up against multiple offers; she gave us valuable information on how to negotiate and get ours ultimately selected by the sellers. It has been a challenging process as we live out of state but Veronica has kept the ball rolling and updated is throughout. We also appreciate how she provides recommendations from lenders to inspectors to interior designers. I highly recommend Veronica because she is organized, respectful, knowledgeable and easy to work with.
Aryne and Dulcinea are absolutely amazing to work with!
From our initial meeting all the way through to closing we felt incredibly supported and affirmed throughout. They made the normally stressful process of selling a home feel like a breeze. They were always quick to respond with advice and updates and worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed throughout. I will be sending anyone I meet who is looking to buy or sell a home their way and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

View ProfileRosemary and I want to thank you for making our real estate transaction a low stress event.
You are a thoughtful and kind person willing to go the extra mile to help the client through the “bumps” of the real estate process. We are grateful to have had you as our agent. We wish you the best and if we ever need an agent, you are first on our list.
Marissa was absolutely fantastic.
This was my first home buying experience and she made every step of the way so easy for me. She was extremely knowledgeable about different neighborhoods, areas, buildings, and districts in Portland. What I loved most about working with Marissa was the way she listened to my needs as a home buyer. I always felt, as a client, that my needs were being put first. We explored many different options and she was so patient and understanding. We were able to find an amazing place at an amazing price. In such a large decision in ones life, Marissa made me feel completely comfortable with my purchase. I would recommend Marissa to anyone buying a home in Portland.
My husband and I recently bought our first home with the assistance of Martin Cross at Living Room Realty.
Our entire experience was fantastic! Well, I mean, buying a home in Portland certainly has its ups and downs, and we definitely had a few challenges to overcome, but Martin was there with us every step of the way. We couldn't have accomplished this dream of ours without his help! We're so glad we used Living Room to buy our first home, and would heartily recommend Martin and the entire team to anyone looking for a REALTOR® in Portland.
I cannot say enough great things about Bobby Curtis. He is kind, he has a ton of real estate knowledge, he is extremely patient and understanding. Bobby always makes me feel as though I am his only client and that I take priority. Bobby is someone you want on your team.
Beth is the best of the best and once she is your REALTOR® you will never choose anyone else.
She is very talented at what she does, has a strong work ethic, experienced in the industry, has your best interest, and acts with a sense of urgency.
Beth was wonderful to work with and negotiated the home purchase as though it were her own. I really appreciate all of the time and energy she put in to get us the best price.
Beth is always available, has a strong network within the Community, makes you feel like you are her only customer, and supports you in your decisions. She always goes above and beyond.
My husband and I feel very lucky that she was our REALTOR®. Thank you Beth!
Kari and Erika were a great team
From start to finish in the process, they worked to make the home-selling experience as smooth as possible. Their planning and implementation of the preparation for sale tapped into both their skills and connections with supporting professionals. Erika and Kari were both encouraging and realistic, and they discussed the options whenever choices needed to be made; they also gave us the necessary space and time to decommission our parents' home, and we particularly appreciated their sensitivity with regards to this. One or both of them was always available to answer questions and get all the tasks done, of which there were many. Their efficiency and expertise was apparent from day one, and their thoroughness kept us in-the-know regarding all critical matters. These REALTORS® advertised the home and open houses in a way that brought many prospective buyers within a very short period of time, and the offers were compared in a way that made the decisions agreeable and adjustable when needed. They negotiated with other REALTORS® with acumen, and successfully brought the deal to a close with all parties. We highly recommend Kari and Erika for all your real estate transactions.

View ProfileCarrie Struss was our guiding light.
We needed to sell our home during a stressful time impacted by a work move and a new baby. We had lots of questions, little knowledge of the value of similar homes in our area and no time to do our own research. Carrie was 100% available, answered our questions and concerns with a superb depth of knowledge, instructed us through each step of the process and ultimately helped us make a great decision and get a great price for our home. At a time when we needed to be able to trust someone with something so important for our family – we were thrilled we chose Carrie to sell our home. She was detail oriented, knowledgeable and thoughtfully responsive, we always felt in the loop. We could not recommend this hard-working agent more highly.
Yascha assisted us in the very successful sale of our Portland home.
We had not been involved in selling/buying a home for over 25 years, his current knowledge of the market guided us in the preparation of our home for the best possible result. He had wonderful advice and the repair/painting/moving professionals he referred us to were each excellent to work with and fairly priced. But above all, what we appreciated most was his swift responsiveness and wonderful and warm personality. He was terrific to work with, start to finish!
Natalie is an absolute delight to work with.
My wife and I worked with her to buy our first home in Portland, OR. As first time homebuyers we were learning throughout the process and Natalie did an excellent job communicating with us, the listing agents, and our lender at all times. She is incredibly professional and focused on her clients. We scored a fantastic house in a competitive market because she understands how to meet everyone's needs in the home buying process. I highly recommend you meet with Natalie Tracy for a cup of coffee before you buy a home, you'll be glad you did.
Full disclosure: I am a licensed broker and own the brokerage Cristen works for.
I hire Cristen to represent me because as a professional myself I want to work with the best. As a client I am demanding, have high expectations, and want to avoid stress in order to stay in a place of strength during negotiations and make good decisions when stakes are high. I have learned so much about clear communication, customer service, negotiating, and professionalism from working with Cristen. She protects my interests and is a calm steady advocate who gets the job done. She has over 20 years of experience and it shows. A master of her industry and a caring joyful advocate for her clients.
Andee works incredibly hard, is an excellent communicator, and has your best interest at heart.
Andee has deftly guided us through two separate house sale & house purchase contingencies that were both on the challenging end of real estate transactions, and we can't recommend her highly enough. Her knowledge of houses and the real estate market, as well as her connections in the industry, are impressive and super helpful in so many ways. On top of all that she is a sweetheart and I miss seeing her regularly after we close :)
We have recommended her to friends, and everyone we know who has worked with Andee loves her.
I highly recommend Tracey as a realtor!
My husband Jay and I have had the pleasure of working with Tracey a number of times over the past few years. With Tracey's help, our current house is pending sale (in one week) and we are searching with her for our new home . We also bought a rental house a couple years back with Tracey as our REALTOR®. Tracey's an expert at what she does. I'm a bit of a control freak and when I say she's one of the few people in my experience whom I trust to handle things, that's saying something. She's trustworthy, and eminently knowledgeable in her field. Besides her professionalism, she has a deeper knowledge of houses than most because of her background as an architect. Her eye is impeccable. She was invaluable in the staging of our house for sale, going above and beyond in helping to bring out the best in our home. Tracey's always easy to reach, quick to respond to messages and set up showings (and get you to them), and good company in general. When it comes to the business side of things, you're in expert hands and feel secure that she's got an eagle eye on the details and negotiations. She's a true advocate for her clients and an honest, candid person; a good person. I'm not the easiest person in the world and it's a testimony to Tracey's character that she remains ever cheerful, helpful and professional, despite the vicissitudes of the real estate business and the many moods of me. Jay and I can't recommend her highly enough.
Ella really went above and beyond to help us find the home of our dreams.
In the competitive Portland home market, it was a relief to have someone as tenacious and knowledgeable as Ella. Because we received financial help from family members, Ella had to walk the tight rope between making us happy and making them happy. Ella met this complex situation with a lot of patience and respect, and it made all the difference. She worked with us on our busy schedule, and was always there for us when we need to see that one perfect house at a minutes notice. She’s a great person and a great realtor, and anyone would be lucky to have her in their corner!
If you are looking to buy a home, there is no one better to have as your REALTOR® than Mel!
She really went above and beyond for us in our search for the perfect home. From the very first home she showed us, to the day we got our keys to the new home, we always felt Mel was on our side and willing to do whatever it takes to get us the right home, at the right price! If you work with Mel, you can bet that finding your perfect home will be the easiest thing you've ever done. Thanks Mel!
I really enjoyed my experience with my agent Yonette.
Every encounter with her was professional and so easy. Her enthusiasm and charm were always present and her responsiveness to any question or concern was almost immediate. She made the whole buying experience very easy.
I’ve had 6 real estate transactions and Steve is easily one of the best agents I’ve worked with with.
My wife and I are busy and live in another state so we needed a resourceful, detail oriented agent to help us, and that is definitely what Steve brings to the table. Steve coordinated and managed all the logistics around repairs, appraisals, photos, staging, showings and more. One of Steve's best traits is he has really high emotional intelligence, which is important for negotiating with agents and buyers. On top of that, he kept me on track so we didn't miss any deadlines, which I appreciated as I had other things going on. Our sale was quick and sold for over asking.
Dear David, Thank you so much for your excellent efforts in obtaining the “Yellow Building” and for an excellent champagne with which to toast this next adventure!
Happy New Year. We look forward to future collaborations!
We’re so grateful for her and her passion for her job is undeniable!
Buying a house these days seemed like an impossible feat but with Yomari as our realtor it went great! She looked at over 20 houses with us. She was incredibly patient and taught us so much. My partner and I had never bought a place before so there was so much we didn’t know. Yomari held our hands through the whole process and explained everything to us in a way we understood. We’re so grateful for her and her passion for her job is undeniable! She was an absolute joy to work with and I’m kind of sad our journey together ended! (Until we sell!) Thank you, Yomari!!
As first time home buyers, we were nervous about making such a significant, long-term financial purchase.
Northeast Portland homes in our price range were in short supply and we wanted to find something that would be 'just right.' Peter showed us dozens of homes, never pressuring us to settle. With Peter's help, we found the home of our dreams at a price we could afford. Peter was by our side every step of the way, answering our questions and negotiating on our behalf. He was very knowledgeable about the loan process and kept us well-informed throughout the sale, from offer to closing. We've referred many family members and friends and if we were in a position to buy a second house (we'll never sell the one we're in!) we'd be sure to call Peter Clarke.
Greg and Hilary are a fabulous REALTOR® team!
I have to thank them for helping me find my first home. I could never have imagined that I would own my first home so soon out of college or that it would be such a perfect house. Thank you for all your guidance and positive attitude during such a stressful time. You made the process painless and I am so glad my family has you as a resource. You rock! I am so grateful and in love with my house. Thank you for making me and my home search a priority. There is a reason all us Brannons love you as our realtor!
We immediately had a great relationship with Lauren.
She completely understood the kind of home we were looking for. She provided insightful perspective on any listings we found ourselves, and ultimately pointed us to the house we purchased. When we encountered difficulties with our seller, Lauren offered pragmatic recommendations while giving us the details to make informed decisions on our own. She did a fantastic job of communicating with all of the involved parties (listing agent, lender, title company, the city etc.) and keeping things on track so we didn't have to, right down to closing day. Buying a home can be a stressful process at times, and we can't imagine having done it without Lauren's help!
Karim and his ALL-STAR team are amazing!
Karim is really smart and knows the Portland market inside and out. We were bowled over by his professionalism, responsiveness, attention to detail, and enthusiasm. Our house looked its best in print and online, thanks to Karim's creative staging ideas, photo and virtual tours, and high-quality printed brochures. We came into the home-selling process with a lot of questions and anxiety, but the team's excellent communication put us at ease, making the experience as easy as possible.
We hired Tosha after our listing expired with another REALTOR®.
She took charge immediately and helped us make the house more attractive. She was the best REALTOR® we have ever had the experience to deal with. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking to buy or sell.
Drew helped us to buy our first house.
As first time home-buyers, we did not know the first thing about beginning our search or how the process should look. Needless to say, we were very nervous about selecting an agent but took the recommendation to work with Drew. Everything with our home purchase went very smoothly and that is thanks to the advice Drew gave us both during the negotiation and the closing process. I would highly recommend working with Drew if you have the opportunity.
Chris Johnson is such a joy to work with!
He’s a calm, honest, generous broker. He offers so much support & sage advice during the difficult time of buying & selling a home. Since he’s a builder himself, he is interested in the construction and workings of all the systems in a house; and is happy to pass his knowledge onto h is clients. Thanks Chris for all your above & beyond service!”
I used Hans to sell my family home in Neahkahnie even though I am a seasoned real estate broker in Portland, OR, because:
1. He has extensive knowledge of current property values in the area.
2. He is trustworthy and honest.
3. He is lovely to work with.
My home sold quickly with multiple offers and closed on time with a minimum of hassle to me. I highly recommend Hans.
Choosing to work with Robin was one of the best decisions we made during our last home purchase.
She was always available and enthusiastically willing to show us properties, and answer all of our questions. More importantly, she negotiated competently and tirelessly when we found the house we wanted. She clearly communicated and represented our interests to the seller. Every aspect of our purchase was handled with honesty and integrity. I would highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for an agent who is professional, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and a true client advocate.
Kim is a phenomenal Real Estate Agent and by far one of the best in the industry.
I've purchased several homes in 6 different states for use as a primary residence or investment property, and no one has come close to the professionalism, knowledge and responsiveness that Kim portrays on a consistent basis. I've worked with Kim on both buying and selling transactions, and I can always count on 100% satisfaction. I would highly recommend that you utilize Kim anytime you need to buy or sell a home!
Now that we’ve been in Portland a year, I wanted to let you know how happy we have been here.
The house has been wonderful, so much light from outside and expansive enough to accommodate the waves of visitors we had all summer. We had times of every bedroom filled and a tent full of kids in the backyard. Made us appreciate that we went for house "bigger than we needed." Even more than the house, we love our neighborhood. We've gotten to know people all around us (many sweet 30 somethings), shared gardening tips and produce, watched each others houses while away. Our police officer neighbor down the street says he's got neighborhood security under control. Joe adores riding his bike to work every day. He rode all last winter except for a handful of days. We love heading over to Alberta Rose for music and walking to restaurants. Thank you so very much for all of your support in our transition. You were so important in making it work for us. We felt totally supported by you in the process.
Leanne was so helpful and reliable during what can be a very stressful time.
Her knowledge, expertise, relationships within the industry and communication helped set my mind at ease as we started scouting the area for houses. And she’s aggressive on your behalf, which I appreciate when my time and money are on the line. Of all of these skills she demonstrated during our entire house hunting journey, I appreciated her sense of compassion the most. She truly wants to find you your home and she really listens. Not her idea of a home, not the industry’s idea of a home. She works with your budget, and your wants and also finds a way to go above and beyond. In the future, I will always use her to buy and sell property.
Sally was great to work with!
We met her back in late 2016 and after about 10 offers (and over a year later) we landed the PERFECT home in NE Portland. Sally’s positivity, determination, humor and knowledge led the way through the entire process. Once we were under contract Sally handled all of the inspections and negotiations seamlessly. She kept us well informed of what was expected of us through closing and broke down the entire process step by step. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent and we definitely recommend her. Thanks Sally, see you at the house warming party!
