Brian Porter was my realtor when purchasing a new condo downtown and when selling my house in…read moreBeaverton. Prior to working with Brian I was frustrated by realtors who were not very responsive. This was not the case with Brian. He either answered my calls or called me back within 20 minutes every time. I had a similar response to emails (sometimes I'd get a response late at night). Brian carefully guided me through the selling process for my home. I particularly appreciated his insight as to the required, least costly, upgrades I needed to make in order for my house standout and sell quickly (which it did in a poor market). On several occasions Brian worked with me as we went to Home Depot to determine the right brand/color for carpet, wall paint etc. I would have spent much more on my own. I don't know if I would have sold my house this summer w/o Brian's help. Obviously I strongly recommend his services.

My husband and I are Brian's biggest fans! As a buyers agent he treated each house skeptically,…read morelike he was looking at it to buy himself. He was patient, honest and straight-forward, and not shy about sharing both positive and negative opinions about a property. He worked with us to pinpoint our criteria for mining listings, and we received the newest matches every morning. He was available at a moment's notice to view a home. Ultimately, the fact that he was enthusiastic about a house was something that we weighed in our final decision, and we're thrilled with the house we bought.

I have been renting here in Portland for the past 3 years and its getting harder for me to find a…read moreplace that ticks most if not all my check boxes. So I decided to look around for residential properties. The most important thing when buying a property are your financials but the second most important part that is finding a realtor. Yes its important to know their track record but its equally important to find someone you have chemistry with because this is not just a financial transaction but personal one as well. Buying a home will not only test your bank account but will test your mental, emotional and physical faculties as well. You need to find a realtor that has a proven track record, "gets you" and will do what it takes to get you the best deal. I am not an easy breezy low maintenance client. I am very analytical, I ask questions, hands-on every step of the way and most importantly I have extremely high attention to detail (written and verbal). It doesn't help that I can get emotional at times. What made this more complicated is I found my dream home but it was almost twice as much as what I was initially willing to spend. The stress, pressure and anxiety was through the roof. Jeff was the perfect match for me. He understood my style and complemented me. He is an extremely good listener. A trait that you seldom see these days which is how he is able to provide very good insights and helpful advice. He answers every single question I throw out there and I do send him a lot. Towards the end of the transaction when nerves were getting frayed and emotions were running high from both parties, Jeff impressed me on how he handled the situation by doing a selfless deed to appease both parties. I have worked with a lot of realtors and have fired a lot as well. In fact, I first signed up with a very popular realtor who runs their own company and is the principal broker. I was dazzled by the beautiful office, the talk and impressive portfolio. I signed up with them and within 5 days I realized it wasnt the best fit for me. We would have driven each other crazy and we might have lost the deal. Im sure they are a good realtor but were not the right match. I sent Jeff the list of 20 questions I sent my ex realtor and I like how addressed them better. My advise, interview a few and even dare to test drive by going to a few properties with your prospective realtor. If you are not happy with your realtor move on and find the right one, even if it takes you 2 or 3 or 4 or whatever it takes. At the end of the day I work hard for my money and so should my realtor. Jeff has earned every single penny of his commission plus this glowing review. He truly deserves 5 stars. I would use him again in the future and have already recommended him to a few folks. Behind the realtor is also an overall nice guy.

He knew the market very well and gave us good advice regarding different options based on his excellent listening skills. He helped us achieve a very fair price in a challenging market environment.

He is also a pleasure to work with. We are very happy in the new home!

He had a lot of knowledge about the properties and genuinely paid attention to our needs. While other realtors would just send some listings vaguely related to what we were searching and be pushy about it, Leigh made few but very on point recommendations. Leigh also surrounds himself with great people. He recommended a very professional house inspector and a loan company that was good enough to make us completely drop our loan with Bank of America. When helping us inspect the properties, he had a very candid and technical view of the property which was exactly what we were looking for. Leigh was always readily available when we needed and always with a very positive and honest attitude. Couldn't have asked for a better service. 5 out of 5.

Lincoln was referred to us by close friends, who also worked with him to buy their home. From our first virtual meeting, Lincoln was generous with his time and his knowledge. He listened to our needs and wants, set realistic expectations without squashing our dreams and gave us a quick guide on which neighborhoods might fit our family's needs. From the first meeting to the last, it always felt like you were working with a friend. Lincoln went above and beyond, never making us feel like we were just one of his clients. He did virtual tours with us, kept in constant communication and he was always super responsive to any questions or concerns. It's clear that Lincoln knows what he's doing, and he's good at it. We also appreciated that he works with integrity and honesty. He helped us figure out the right strategies on offers and always came with great insight so that we could make an informed decision. Throughout the process, we always felt supported and most importantly, we felt like we had someone in our corner. We've said to each other on many occasions that we truly lucked out finding Lincoln. Because of him, we were able to buy our first home - a dream that my husband and I never thought would be a reality.

Nothing seemed to faze him & he handled everything with professionalism, hard work and a great sense of humor. Before we signed and throughout the entire process, Lincoln asked about our wants/needs & LISTENED. With the breadth of his experience & knowledge, he had great suggestions, but never made me feel forced into making decisions. He is/was always respectful, a great negotiator, and was always completely honest. He was referred to us by multiple family members, one of whom had sold real estate for many years. I highly recommend Lincoln Tuchow to any buyers or sellers & he will be my 'Go to' guy for any of my future real estate needs.

Once we decided on a property, she immediately went to work--got us help from the sellers on closing costs, got us under the asking price and got all the necessary work from the inspection covered and completed before our closing date. Not only that, but Gabrielle has been extremely supportive emotionally, understanding that this endeavor can be stressful, and helped answer any and all of our questions (no matter how small) quickly and thoroughly. We just closed this week, and, while we hope to be in our new home for a long time, we would definitely work with Gab again and would absolutely recommend her to our family and friends.

Amazing. That's the headline I'm going to use here…read more As a part of Nike's relocation program, I was given the opportunity to be paired up with a great local realtor. After describing the type of person I was hoping to work with and the types of properties I was interested in buying, I was matched with Mike and this dude was everything we had hoped for and more. Mike was really patient with us. We knew what we wanted, and couldn't really find it, so he was really accommodating and help us think about other things we might want to explore, too. And he showed us well over a dozen homes, most of which were really cool and were home we considered, But we wanted to hold out until the right one came along. After a couple of months, Mike showed us a house and we knew it was the one. A beautiful custom-built home up in Forest Park on Skyline Boulevard that came with wooded acreage and even a guest house. From there, we were full speed ahead. On the day of closing, there were some complications with the mortgage broker . All along, Mike had been tremendous in his due diligence, and he told us early on that this "deal may have some hair on it" (Mike and his wife are very very familiar with the ins and outs of the mortgage industry). While the mortgage broker had assured us all along that there would be no issue, turns out that Mike was right. We dumped that lender, and he immediately helped us find a new lender who could help us close. Nobody likes to have to go through the mortgage process again, but the lender that Mike found for us was also a great local businessman, and this time we closed in two weeks without a hitch. We wouldn't be in our new house if it wasn't for Mike. The patience, knowledge, and authenticity were a game changer for us, and as long as we're in the Portland area, we won't work with anybody else.
