Sell Your Home with Living Room Realty

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.

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!

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.

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!!

Sharon is an incredibly effective and successful realtor who you’d be lucky to work with. But she’s an even better person and that’s why we trusted her to help us buy and sell a house with a new baby on the way. In the real estate market, there are a lot of people who don’t necessarily have your best interests at heart. Sharon is not that person. We trusted her, and she took exquisite care of that trust and delivered for our family at every step along the way. We cannot recommend her more highly. Sharon is so good because she matches acute business acumen with a high degree of emotional intelligence to read the situation and all the people involved, and has great instincts about what will be a strong but not excessive offer. She has the experience and creativity to think of the little things that can make an offer stand out, especially in a multi-offer situation. She knows when to push and when to step back. She is a prompt, clear and effective communicator, always follows through exactly as she said she would, and will give honest feedback even if it means she missed out on a sale or is not what you want to hear in the moment. Her grounded experience and self confidence allow her do all of these things consistently well. And on the sell side, she confidently read the market to set a strong but still attractive price, marketed the property well, and then quickly established rapport with other agents. Most importantly, you can immediately tell she really cares about her clients as people going through the stressful life event of home buying (especially during covid). She is encouraging and checks in frequently, and goes the extra mile on all sorts of little things (for example, providing us extra packing boxes, connecting us with contractors to ask questions, ensuring we always got into see houses fast even if she couldn’t make it). And on top of all that, she’s a lot of fun to hang out with. You can tell she loves her job while also being extremely good at it. You should definitely hire Sharon!!

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.

She really took the time to learn about our lifestyle and what our home needed to be. Like most people, we wanted it all but our budget was tight. She managed to find us a little mid-century gem in an up and coming neighborhood that we really love. It was in gorgeous condition (we’re not particularly handy) and the yard was perfect for my husband who is a gardening enthusiast. It matches our style perfectly and suits all of our needs…including an awesome basement for storing our garden goodies. She was patient, enthusiastic and was able to leverage her vast knowledge and experience to ensure there were no unhappy surprises after we moved in. I recommend her to first time home buyers, mid-century enthusiasts…or really anyone at all.

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)

We received exceptional service and support from the Place Portland Team during our recent purchase of a home in Salem, OR. Purchasing a home, especially out-of-state, can be stressful at times, but the team was right on top of every step throughout the process and offered professional "coaching" at all times. We greatly appreciated the team's "going the extra mile" with lists of what to do next during the process keeping us on track, as well as the change of address and utilities checklists. WELL DONE!!!

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.

Natalie was such a joy to work with! She made my first home buying experience a breeze and I couldn't recommend her enough. Natalie has a great understanding of the various neighborhoods in Portland and is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to what you should be looking for when touring homes. Natalie was always available to chat via the phone, text or email and was instrumental in getting my offer accepted, guiding me along all the various steps up until closing. She is a great negotiator and was able to get various quotes for all sorts of repairs to get me the most money back. Even after closing Natalie has been super helpful with contacts for any additional work that needs to be done with the house. I can't imagine going through this whole process without her!

He went out of his way to show us homes, any day of the week, and was a timely and effective communicator. He genuinely wanted to find us the best home and he put in the work to do so. I couldn’t recommend him enough!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

We started the process of selling our home in the winter by reaching out to Jamis Minnis at Living Room Realty. She responded to us very quickly and was able to explain what work and marketing skills she had. She made some recommendations for minor repairs to prep our house for sale so we could get the optimal price. The whole process took several months from start to finish and most of the time was focused on completing some drywall, flooring, and painting all within our repairs budget. We were so impressed with the interview and subsequent meetings that we decided to sign with Jamis prior to our final photoshoot of the house which she scheduled. Jamis has excellent communication skills and helped us work through some challenges with the projects. In the end, we sold our house in April which was a seamless and well-guided process. Much of the communication between agents was transparent and Jamis helped keep a timeline for all outstanding steps for completion. We were so grateful for finding Jamis Minnis. We recommend you interview and hire Jamis Minnis because she works so hard to help you achieve your goals.

She listened to what I was looking for and kept me informed of new homes that met my criteria. She was always available when I had questions. Her knowledge of the neighborhoods in Portland helped me narrow my search to meet the goals I had established. She made the home buying experience a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend her for your next home purchase.

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.

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.

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.

Kathy went above and beyond to help our family get our forever home. Answering our late night and very early morning calls and texts. At all times we felt she had our back. These are challenging times to buy a home but Kathy made the process seem effortless. However, we know she was constantly working behind the scenes for us to land our dream home. If you are looking for a special place to call home, she’ll make it happen. Thank you Kathy! Muchas gracias!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

... and always quick to respond, even with our constant questions. Despite having other clients, he always made us feel like a priority, even working late to accommodate our timezone challenges with international sellers. His breadth of knowledge and local connections made buying our first home much less stressful, and months later, we still reach out to him for trusted recommendations. We feel like we’ve gained a friend in Gavynn and whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor!

Sean is the real deal! We connected with Sean as we moved from Chicago to Portland and he could not have been the 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 into 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 the 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.

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.

Happy New Year. We look forward to future collaborations!

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!  

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!”

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!

If I could give them 6 stars i would. I have bought and sold homes 7 times in my lifetime as I moved a lot due to my job. No surprises, no miscues, they know what they can answer and know when you need to seek answers that need an attorney's assistance. They handed it all and made my life very very easy. Pricing of the house to sell was very well done and we ended up with an over asking price sale even in this rough economy and higher interest rates. And even though their home office is 45 miles away they never let the drive to see me bother them at all. I can't urge anyone enough in the Portland Metro area or surrounding communities to use them to sell your home and/or help you find a new home.

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.

She was reliable, transparent, and supportive - and continues to be there for us months after moving in. My favorite part of working with Janelle was that she met us where we were at, which was limited in experience and knowledge about the process and made it easy for us to learn in a sustainable way without feeling overwhelmed. I’d highly recommend anyone looking for a realtor to work with Janelle based on my experience, and I’m glad our paths crossed. I honestly don’t think we’d have won our house offer and be in this lovely home without here. Thank you, Janelle!

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.

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.
