I had an excellent experience with Pam Yee on contract review and negotiation for a commercial real estate deal. I reached out to Pam at a time of desperate need -- it was Friday morning, and we had a contract that needed attorney review by Monday and we didn't have an attorney. Out of the many attorneys I contacted, Pam was the only one who listened and empathized, and she spent the weekend diligently reviewing, flagging and explaining parts of the contract that needed edits. Over the next few weeks, Pam was essential to our contract negotiation. She provided timely feedback on all documents sent her way, provided insight and advice from her experience with other commercial real-estate transactions, and at certain points directly negotiated with the opposing counsel on our behalf. I would have been lost without her. Pam is an excellent communicator, a hard worker, and somebody I trust to have my back in these dealings. I would hire Pam again for any future business dealings in Oregon. read more

Timely, helpful and informative response to my evolving current legal "situation" - I very much appreciated speaking with Scott and learning more about the services he and his firm could provide, both in-terms of real estate law and also estate planning. read more

Pam is one of the best communicators! Her service was precise and reasonable. Her knowledge of real estate law, procedures and documentation is the best I've found. Others that I inquired with on my matter were less than specific to the competent handling of our needs. Pam was spot on, efficient and service with a smile! I have dabbled in the RE market for 4 decades and she is one of the best! I highly recommend Pam for RE, business and Trust work. read more

We used Pamela Yee at Schmidt and Yee to help us sell our house. She is a great lawyer if you need a private attorney/lawyer to help you with a residential real estate transaction in Oregon (especially in the Portland, Hillsboro, Sherwood or Beaverton areas) without using a realtor or paying a realtor's fee or commission. I wanted to do a private sale of my home to a friend without incurring a real estate commission. I already had the buyer and we'd agreed on the price. Even though I am a retired lawyer, I don't know much about real estate practice and had only ever bought or sold a house through an agent in the past, so I asked my colleagues to refer me to someone who practices in this area and I was given Pamela Yee's name by two fellow attorneys. I had never met her, but I trusted the judgement of the attorneys who recommended her. She met with us right away, explained how the process worked, prepared the contracts, and directed us to a title agent to us that could explain the title process to us and had worked a lot with people who are doing residential real estate transactions without real estate agents. We had some amendments to the contract and she was right on it, getting the new documents to me within a day. She responded promptly to every email and was a pleasure to work with. She was so knowledgeable and made the private real estate sale an easy process. Her fees were really reasonable - less than $1000 and would have been less had we not required several amendments. They might be higher if you had a lot of negotiations to do or a problem with inspection or something, but her hourly rate was reasonable if we had needed any additional assistance. By using Pamela Yee to help us with the contracts and Oregon requirements necessary for the deal to close, we saved a 6% realtor fee in selling our house and were very comfortable with the process the whole way. It was the best decision we could have made. I highly recommend her if you want to avoid a realtor's fee/commission and are dealing with a buyer or seller on your own in an Oregon transaction. read more
