I highly recommend Emily. She is an excellent realtor. If I ever need a realtor again, I'll definitely want to work with her. She helped me sell a house and buy my dream home. Even when things go well, selling and buying is one of the most stressful things to go through, so it's immensely important that your realtor isn't an additional stressor through the process. My first realtor, years back, was horrible, and made the process a nightmare and definitely soured me on realtors. It was such a relief to work with someone who has your back, is totally on your side, and who works really hard to help you reach your goals. I cannot recommend her enough - she's just great - highly professional, yet very personable too.

In short, we (my spouse and I) had an amazing experience working with Alexis to purchase our home. She was responsive, professional, knowledgeable, organized, and truly goes the extra mile for her clients. This is not our first home purchase and we have worked with a handful of realtors in the past and by far Alexis is the best we've ever been privileged enough to have on our side. She spent hours on the phone touring, negotiating, communicating our best interests, building a thorough strategy, and finding common ground with the seller and sellers agent. This was not always an easy process given how challenging the other party was. Alexis rose to the occasion and dug in with us to help us close on the home we really wanted and without Alexis I'm convinced we wouldn't have been successful. I cannot recommend Alexis enough and if we ever need to work with a realtor in the future she will be my first phone call.

We were paired up with Alexis on a chance request on Zillow, and I'm so grateful that we were. She spent nearly an hour with us after our first tours just going over the entire process so that we could have a better understanding of what the market was doing and how we were going to find our dream home, and we hadn't even agreed to work with her beyond the first few showings at that point! It was clear she grasped what we were looking for, and knew her stuff. Alexis stuck with us through a few heartbreak offers (through no fault of hers), and guided us to crafting competitive offers that we would have never been brave enough to try without her suggestions. She made sure we understood every step of the process, and we never felt that her suggestions were out of our comfort zone or unnecessary. We eventually found our perfect first home that had come back on the market, and Alexis made sure to jump on it. She is always quick to respond to any and all questions, and I never felt bad about adding on a second (or third) home to viewings that day. I'm so glad to have had her in this first time home buyer zoo!

If you are given the opportunity, I would highly recommend working with Annie! She was there every step of the way during my first home buying experience with her knowledge, guidance and patience. She constantly made herself available to me when I had random questions or requests and was friendly and understanding to me the entire time. It is clear that she genuinely cares about her clients and has their best interests at heart. I was shocked how easy she made the whole process for me and now I am happily in my first home! Thanks Annie!! :)

High praise for Emily! We sought her expertise to sell our Portland area home based upon a prior experience in which she represented us as buyers. Emily builds beneficial relationships in order to achieve satisfying results. Her skills in real estate go beyond the professional knowledge base. She actively listens to her clients, she advises based upon their needs and the current market, she deftly problem solves. People skills and negotiation skills are among her strengths. By following Emilys guidance, our older home was nicely marketed, priced correctly, and quickly sold. Emily has earned our respect and confidence aEUR" we highly recommend her services for buying and selling needs.

My husband and I were connected with Alexis after reaching out to Windermere Realty as we wanted a partner that knew theA ins and outs of the Portland realA estate market. We were relocating from the Bay Area, CA and didn't have much experienceA with the different areas of Portland. Alexis was a total lifesaver in helpingA us from the get-go. She kept us updated with new listings, and when we came for a weekendA to check out properties in person, had a perfect itineraryA built for us to see everything we knew we were interested in and then some. As we walked through houses, Alexis made notes of thingsA we would never have noticed - highlighting featuresA we would come to love, helpingA us to picture what really would and wouldn't work for our lifestyle, and keeping a tally of any changes/repairs we noted we may want to make.A When we decided on the property we wished to make an offer on, Alexis was dialed in on the exact amount we should offer and concessions we should prepared to make or not make. She ended up doing the impossible in FebruaryA 2022's market - getting us an accepted offer AT ASKING PRICE on a property that had been on the market for only days!A Since we were moving from CA we weren't able to be around for the inspections, repairs, etc. that popped up between accepted offer and closing time. Alexis was there to manage everything for us and make sure everything was just as it should be with consistent communication.A Now that we are in our house, Alexis has continued to be invaluable in making recommendations for furniture/home decor shopping, dog parks, local events, etc. Moving is stressful, and moving to a new city where you don't know anyone is especially so, but Alexis gave us peace of mind throughout the process and really helped us get not just a house but to find a new home in Portland.

We were thrilled with Emily's services as our agent - I can't say enough good things. We were looking for a home in Portland from out-of-state, with very specific criteria including finding a property that would accommodate my elderly mother and her partner, as well as a lot configuration that would work for construction of a backyard ADU, within walking distance of services. We worked with Emily for 6 months, including multiple video chats and Facetime showings, before we were finally able to find and purchase the perfect place. Emily was thoughtful, knowledgeable and delightful to work with throughout the process. She has a totally solid fluency in all of the aspects of the crazy complicated and competitive process of finding and purchasing a home in Portland in 2022, and great insight into neighborhoods! She was excellent at coordinating with sellers agents to get the information that would help us to tailor our offers to win. She made sure we were well informed about our options and all of the context, and then she fully respected our judgement and decision-making throughout the process. She also provided us with great referrals for all of the services that have been needed in the process of closing, possession and repairs. And...all that and she is a delightful person. I am looking forward so much to having Emily over for a celebration gathering after my mom is moved in!! Thank you Emily!!

To describe Annie I would use the three P's, not the normal 3 P's in business, but these 3, Polite, Professional and Patient. We first met Annie pre-covid when we first moved to Portland and were looking for a home. She was polite and a great listener, really trying to meet our needs. Annie always did her homework on the homes we viewed as well as the surrounding neighborhoods. We felt like our experience with Annie was a partnership to find what we really were looking for. We toured so many properties that we've lost count, and every time Annie was just as enthusiastic as we were to see the place. When we finally found that ideal home, Annie walked us through all of the next steps. Two weeks after closing, Annie showed up with a special gift personalized just for us, that whenever we look at, we will think of her.

Annie was fantastic to work with! She was very knowledgeable about all of the homes we saw and helped us find our perfect house. She went above and beyond, helping us every step of the way.

I was very fortunate to be connected with Alexis in assisting with our home search. We were first time home buyers who originally were looking to find a home in Phoenix but diverted our efforts to make our move to Oregon. The differences we had with Alexis and our AZ realtor were completely night and day. We were never pressured into picking a home and it never felt as though Alexis was only interested in the sale. She cared for our needs and was very knowledgeable of the areas and of the process from start to finish and helped us the whole way. I couldn't ask for somebody better to assist us and will always appreciate her help.Thank you again!
