Working with Heidi was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. As a first time buyer I was completely ignorant to the home shopping, evaluating and buying process. She was patient with us as we narrowed in on what we wanted and then as we engaged in the seemingly endless process of looking at homes, and then finally in the negotiation phase. At every stage, Heidi went above and beyond. She's incredibly knowledgable about Portland real estate - including neighborhoods and trends - and will help you understand on a more holistic level what you want out of a home and neighborhood. At every walk through, she pointed out details and facets of the property that we never would have noticed; her knowledge of home construction is amazing. She told us she's been going to open houses since she was a child and it shows. Probably more than any of these other qualities, what I most appreciate about Heidi was her ability to skillfully negotiate on our behalf. She is an excellent, tireless and savvy agent and I would highly recommend her to anyone. read more
