Kate and the Porch Light team are the professionals you want by your side whether you are buying or selling a home. From the onset we really appreciated the way Kate used both her extensive first hand knowledge of the area/market as well as copious amounts of research data to guide our decisions. With Kate we always felt empowered. And when things came up (they will!) she and her team were again very knowledgeable, always immediately responsive and came up with creative solutions. We highly recommend Porch Light!

Kelsey and the team at Porch Light Realty Group did a great job helping us find a new home. We had pretty tight criteria and they were patient with us for the nearly two years it took to find the right place. The only headwinds we ran in to had to do with understanding some obscure Oregon land use classification and what that might mean for future use of the property. But we over came that quickly and managed to close early. Great team and great work!

Kelsey is a fantastic agent! Porch Light was recommended by a friend, and we are so grateful we found Kelsey! Even now, months after buying our house, we are still gushing about how much we love the property!We came to Kelsey with a long list of requirements. We had family moving in with us, and my partner works from home. We wanted some acreage and a home that fit everyone's needs. We also needed to live close to services and in a diverse community. Even though she was out-of-town, Kelsey jumped into finding us the right home. She worked with our schedule, and she was honest and direct in her feedback about the houses we toured - which was exactly what we had asked for.Kelsey is also a fantastic negotiator. Once we found the right place, she helped us craft a compelling offer. It did not win, unfortunately. We knew it was a bit of a long shot because of our price range. Kelsey pushed for us to be the backup offer, and we continued our search after signing the backup offer paperwork. We are so glad she pushed for the backup because the first offer fell through, and we won our dream home. Thank you so much, Kelsey!

Kate has been a delight to work with. She used her expertise to help get our offer accepted with the sellers when there were 5 other offers on the table! We had to adjust our offer on the fly and Kate was super on top of it every step of the way. She advised us exactly what to put in the offer to the sellers to get us the best chance of getting our offer accepted. You can tell she has a lot of experience in real estate, she thought of every angle we could use to get our offer accepted and it worked! After our offer was accepted she walked us through all the next steps. Including having her team schedule inspections on our behalf and make sure we were getting everything we need. She then personally came up with a spreadsheet of the needed repairs on the home and sourced bids from contractors so we could estimate what the repairs would cost. She worked closely with our loan officer to make sure everything was on the right track to get the house closed on the proper time. We are so happy with the professionalism that Kate always expressed while working with us. We also appreciate her sense of urgency in all things related to buying a home. She really took great care of us.

Kate went far above and beyond our experience-based expectations. She and her crew were super detailed-oriented through every aspect of the buying process. She also has excellent contacts for everything needed through the process, whether it be mortgage brokers, other realtors outside her area, house and septic inspectors, contractors - a huge help. For example, her recommendation for an inspector found things previous inspectors did not, which saved us from making a bad investment decision.We always felt like we were in excellent hands, keeping things in order and on schedule. Her negotiation skills after the inspections were right-on.These are not realtors doing this in their spare time, rather this is their livelihood - their company's reputation is at stake.We recommend them most highly to anyone in the PNW.

Kate and her team went above and beyond to find me the perfect place. Kates knowledge of the market is invaluable. I bought a place site unseen, in a very short time frame, in a crazy market and Kate made me feel at ease every step of the way. Ashley was diligent in getting me all the necessary documents and keeping me up to speed on the process. When I finally arrived, I was greeted by Chloe at the airport and given a ride to our new home. The place was just like the photos and fully stocked by Kate and her team. I would high recommend them if youre purchasing a home in OR.

Kate is a fabulous real estate agent! She is a wonderful listener, smart, does her homework, and well-organized. She knew exactly what to do to get my condo sold and laid out a sensible plan. Perhaps what I appreciated most is her sensitivity to particular parts of the transaction that were triggering for me, and presented reasonable options. She works with a team of personable and responsive agents which made for very efficient tackling of tasks so that every action is addressed promptly.Even though the condo was placed on the market at a stereotypically non-ideal time (just a few days before Christmas, we sold it within a month at the asking price. I consider myself a savvy client, and I would not hesitate to enlist Kate's services again in the future.

From the beginning of the process, Chloe asked all the right questions to make sure she understood what we were looking for. She paid close attention to what we like and didn't like. Looking at houses with Chloe about realtor felt more like shopping with a very knowledgeable friend. When it came time to buy, Chloe advised us on negotiations without pressuring us to make any emotional decisions. When our offer was accepted and we got our inspection report, she and her team did all the leg work and advocated for us to receive a generous credit. She was always professional and incredibly available and even responded to our emails when she was out of town, which was not expected but appreciated. We love Porchlight and Chloe and would definitely recommend their services.
