Grant has years of experience ranging from real estate, construction and management, and practical fix-it-yourself jobs that gave me the confidence I needed through every step of the home buying process. Everything from touring, negotiations, home inspections, mortgage paperwork, and finally closing, Grant went above and beyond as my advocate and partner every step of the way. His clients speak for themselves--everywhere I turn someone seems to have bought a house through Grant, and now I can count myself among their lucky ranks. Grant is the only option!

Thank you for the 1.2 million text messages and questions answered. I don't think I could have quite understood what the roller coaster was like until already on the tracks, but I always felt in good hands having you on our team. Grant, thank you for all of your help throughout this home buying and selling process. It wasn't stress free, but we always knew you were shooting us straight. Now it's time to draft my HOA board resignations, and we are so happy in our new home!

Andrew, Audra and their team recently walked us through purchasing a home in Portland from out of…read morestate. From being available at very short notice to accommodate our viewing requests during our one in-town long weekend house search, to getting on the phone to request information from other agents, to making sure that our mortgage paperwork was on track for expedited closure date--Andrew and his team did everything to make sure that the process flowed seamlessly. He was hands on for every single step of the process (e.g. being present for the home inspection, calling our lender to make sure that the mortgage paperwork was being processed on time just to name a few). We were incredibly impressed by his professionalism, availability, insight and knowledge, willingness to reach out, ability to problem-solve...if we were to buy or sell in the future we would not hesitate to work with Andrew and his team again. Frankly, it's hard to imagine how anyone else can top the job that he and his team did.

Andrew and his team are excellent, and I would highly recommend them. After several bad experiences…read morewith realtors, I had pretty much decided that I would just search on my own. But Andrew was the perfect combination of helpful, without being pushy. I had a lot of conditions about what I wanted, and am pretty picky. My search lasted a really long time, and he never became impatient or acted like I was wasting his time. Andrew was always on my side, and I loved how he would present me with a different viewpoint I might not have considered, yet gave me space to come to my own decisions. He is an excellent negotiator, and it was his strategy that got me my home. He's knowledgeable, always responsive, listened to my concerns, had great input - all around just what I wanted and needed! And an extra shout out to his colleague, Lou, who braved the snowy, icy roads to show me a house which I was SURE was the one (it wasn't). At closing, Andrew and his team walked me through, step by step. As a first time buyer, I had no idea of how it all worked and had a lot of trepidations about the process, and they honestly made it so easy! They took care of all of the details, from inspections through escrow, and Andrew negotiated and coordinated some sewer repairs that had to get done, so I didn't have to. Andrew was absolutely invaluable, and I've already recommended him and will definitely use him again if I am back in the market. I can't recommend Andrew and his team highly enough!

I recently worked with Marcus and Peak Realty on the sale of a home in Tigard. We interviewed four…read moretop producing agents, and Marcus was the only one that truly saw the potential in this sale and understood the target buyer we had in mind and the pricing and work necessary to maximize the sale. Once we signed with him, he went immediately into action working with us to prepare the home for sale and creating compelling sales literature. A key differentiator with Marcus is his advanced knowledge of digital marketing, including his targeting & re-targeting approach. Although most homes around us sat on the market through multiple mark-downs before going under contact, our home was under contract with multiple offers after just 18 days. We closed on-time and at full price, despite the fact that we priced the house at $25-50k higher than any other agent was willing to go. If you are looking for an agent that will support your vision -- while always being honest with you -- Marcus is highly recommended!

It was finally time for my husband and I to purchase our first home together. There were a lot of…read morefears and unknowns due to the Pandemic and record low inventory. We decided to work with Jim after multiple recommendations. From the beginning he was engaged and always transparent with us. He shared his vast knowledge with us regarding the market, types of homes, details to watch out for when browsing through a house or a listing. When it came time to put in an offer, he guided us through on a Sunday night step by step, supporting us without ever pressuring us. He made really thoughtful suggestions which I think made a huge difference. Within 3 months of meeting him we closed on our house. Like many things in life, the fears and the unknowns ending up being a wonderful, positive experience. We would highly recommend working with Jim.

A quick preface. We have owned a home in Longview since 2005 and due to military transfer orders,…read morehas sat empty since April of 2009. We have been trying to sell this property ever since and, in the process, hired a myriad of differing agents and RE brokerage firms over the years. Living on the East Coast for the majority of that time period made it extremely difficult to manage hence, we needed a real estate agent who was more than a transactionally fixed individual, we needed someone who would be our advocate and partner throughout the process. We ended up w./ agents who were either aloof, uncommunicative, unreliable and/or solely fixed on the transaction rather than understanding our situation and needs as sellers. It was extremely frustrating. This was the case for the better part of 8+ years until we were then fortunate enough to be referred to Sally Blair of Keller Williams (Vancouver Office) via a friend who is a retired Marine, Dean Arnold, who works out of Keller Williams Cherry Point NC office. In short, she has been wonderful right from the start. She exudes passion, determination, professionalism, advocacy and doggedness in everything she does. It was a refreshing and welcome change. She, and her assistance Courtney, has been our partners in this all along the way, as it should be. When we listed it w./Sally, it was on the market less than 2 days and we had our first offer (which we accepted) with others in the pipeline. We could not believe it when we saw the e-mail, 'Offer on Home.' After nearly 10 years of frustration and angst, it was, and is still, a bit surreal! Bottom line: If you want a partner who is truly invested in you, in being your partner and advocate, and not solely fixed on the transaction, then Sally is your agent. Highest recommendation! Thank you, Sally Blair and Associates!!

She was also always available to answer my million questions, and still is!

He not only met but exceeded my expectations. Not only did he get the right price for my grandmother in laws house, but he also was extremely patient with her despite at times, she being very difficult and stubborn. Steve never lost his cool but also never wavered from his recommendations that ultimately were in my grandmother in laws best interests. Both I, my grandmother in law, and my father in law (a great guy but not one to be vocal with compliments) were impressed with Steve's performance. Since then, I have referred others to Steve, and I have learned that Steve's professionalism and effectiveness in getting the job done are the rule, not the exception. Steve Kieran is a top notch realtor for both the Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA area. He is one of a kind and I highly recommend him.

I showed up there and he has his assistant find anything I needed. He was happy to help. Chris and John are both great guys. Very professional and respectable guys. The whole interaction was very positive for me. It being my first house it was kind of a whirlwind. You're suddenly overloaded with all kinds of decisions to make. When it's your first time it's a super exciting yet terrifying ordeal. The first time you see your own name on legal documents with numbers up in the 2-3 hundred thousand dollar range it's very scary. It's a serious commitment. I never felt taken advantage of or mislead by them. For better or worse, I was completely at their mercy. They were advising me on what to do. I really had no choice but to go with my gut feeling and let them do what they do. In the end, it was an excellent first home buying experience. If not for the fact that the company I work for is relocating me and dealing with relocation including selling my house, I would 100% for sure be using John as my agent.
