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!
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.
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.
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.
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 ProfileThere 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.
Sharon is so good because she matches acute business acumen with a high degree of emotional intelligence…
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!!
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 recently bought and moved to our dream home in the country.
This would not have been possible had it not been for Martin Cross of Living Room Realty. Of course we had a list of "must haves", "really would be nice ifs", "wishful wants" and plain unrealistic desires. A pretty long list with lots of specifics. After looking at place after place that kept missing the mark - even though most were great properties - we almost gave up looking and were ready to settle, just to be done with things. Martin completely held our proverbial hands through the whole process. He didn't let us settle for less than what we wanted and encouraged us to not give up.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
Jamis has excellent communication skills and helped us work through some challenges with the projects.
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.
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.
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!
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!!
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.
Carrie 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.
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.
Rosemary 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.
I’ve worked with several real estate agents and Nicole is hands down the best!
I’ve worked with several real estate agents and Nicole is hands down the best! Her knowledge of the whole process is extensive and she was excellent at helping us understand it all. We are thrilled we found her!

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!”
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!
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!
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.
Kari and Erika helped us buy and sell our past two homes in 2014 and 2017.
While we don't want to move again anytime soon, we would absolutely choose them again should we have the opportunity. They were well prepared on both the buy side and sell side and regularly provided quick, direct and helpful information throughout the entire process.
They regularly went above and beyond reasonable expectations (how many other agents would bring their own vacuum to help you clean up *after* the place is sold and you've moved out? or get dinner for the family delivered to their office so we could find time to meet together?).
Additionally, their network of service people from home inspection all the way through closing helped us get through the process as efficiently and professionally as possible. Selling and buying real estate is an expensive and emotional journey, but each time we've worked with Kari and Erika, we feel that we got incredible value and that they had our best interest in mind.

View ProfileI’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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
