As soon as we walked in, we knew it was ours. Brooke handled everything so professionally and affably and helped us negotiate a great deal.

Angela Stevens has been helping my wife and buy our first home in the Portland area (we're about to…read moreclose on it), and working with her and her team has been a dream. She is a ninja on all levels when it comes to all things things real estate. She even is certified in home staging, and has real estate in her veins. 12 years of experience, and her family has been running the business like 24 years. Angela is also a joy to work with. She deeply cares and she provides extreme value to her clients. She is personable, funny, yet extremely knowledgeable and sophisticated when it comes to business and real estate investing. She is down to earth yet very successful, and she'll fight for you. If you're looking for one of those super seasoned realtors that is going to save you tens of thousands of dollars helping you to find your dream, who is going to fight for you whether you're a buyer or a seller, then Angela Stevens and her team at Hatch Homes (Keller Williams) is the one you're looking for. She serves the greater SW Portland area, including Vancouver. Thanks Angela! :)

Angela is an unbeatable realtor. I was in route to work with a different realtor when I was…read morereferred to Angela. I even interviewed some of the top notch realtors around. Angela still rises above the rest. She has really extensive experience, genuinely cares about what's best for her clients, has an efficient, family owned practice and can refer just about anyone needed in a matter of minutes. Anytime I have needed to reach her, she's right there for me. She's got the business knowledge that gives her client/s an edge if they work with her. After having a bad experience with a previous realtor, I am so relieved that I found Angela. She thoroughly knows her way around both ends of real estate (buying and selling). She is also just a kind, easy-going person to talk with and be around. Even her referrals remind me I'm in good hands. It's a great move to reach out to Angela whether you're buying or selling. You won't regret it.

I met Heidi of Alameda Realty at an open house and was impressed with how organized and knowledge…read moreshe was knowing everything about the house and its appliances, roof, furnace, electrical, years in service etc... Heidi helped me find my amazing home in this competitive fast moving market. We looked at at lot of homes as they came on market, she was on it helping to time offers and make competitive bids and stay updated. Heidi also knows her homes having done home renovations she is very knowledgeable on what the homes needs and she finds things I would miss. I appreciate her honesty and patience helping me find what I wanted without rushing me or selling me but being on top of everything. I will be using Alameda Realty again. Heidi knows the market. Best agent I've used.

Heidi is just amazing. She helped us sell our house during a very stressful time for us; having so…read moremany life changes all at once can be overwhelming. Because of her hard work, we were able to relax and let her do the heavy lifting. She was very responsive whenever we needed her. We trusted her to price the house correctly, especially considering how hard our house was to comp. She nailed it! We had a great turn out at the open houses. She had some good ideas for selling the house quicker, and they worked. Would highly recommend! Five of five stars :)

This is an update to my previous review. I have since…read morespoken with Jenny, one of the owners. She became aware of my emails only after seeing the review. The "clientcare" email isn't monitored so she's having it removed. As far as my concerns about feeling unprotected and stumbling into this mess, she explained they don't have access to previous transactions not involving their own company. That meant they did not see previous inspections showing the need for repairs. With that in mind, she'll ask agents and inspectors to be more assertive about the potential buyer having a full and complete inspection report before signing anything. So I'm changing my review back to 5 stars because Emmy was amazing, and the owner was responsive once she knew of the problem. I'm satisfied with the outcome. ....now, the FLIPPER--that will be a different review altogether.....

We had a great experience working with Emmy Ward at Lovejoy Real Estate. Emmy helped us buy our…read morevery first home, and we couldn't have asked for a better realtor. She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and kept us informed every step of the way. Thanks to her knowledge of the local market and efficient communication, she got us into our home quickly and ensured a smooth, fast closing--which meant everything to us in a competitive market. If you're looking for someone who's knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about helping you find the right home, then we highly recommend Emmy. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and even enjoyable.

Very disappointing experience with Ms. Renee Harper. I was waiting on my house documents so I…read morecould list my home for sale next week. Ms. Harper emails me around 9am this morning letting me know that the documents would be ready and to me for signature before noon. That did not happen... 5:20pm roles around and still no documents and more importantly no communication as to why, so I inquire yet again. Ms. Harper offers apology and a multitude of excuses in response. A short while after the documents are sent to me along with explanation of additional information needed. I had some inquiries of what would be required and asked why it was my responsibility as the home owner. Apparently I misunderstood the intent of Ms. Harper's communication and designation of what was my responsibility. In response, I am going to share the actual verbiage of her email to me: "Mr. Jones, Did you even read through the documentation I sent? I am not suggesting you get the HOA document provided by the HOA. I am suggesting you fill out the SELLERS PROPERTY DISCLOSURES. And in fact, I'm suggesting you find another realtor. I am not going to deal with your attitude. Best, Ms. Harper" Shocking to say the least... We had set up a photo shoot that was two business days away and were set to list the house in four business days. All of a sudden, some standard questions become a resignation of service. Thanks for leaving me with nothing! If you like this sort of service, then this group is right for you. The individuals in this organization have a lot of fancy titles obtained by attending various classes and courses, I know it all looks great on paper. This my readers is a true life experience that happened to me. Very sad that these types of things happen in life.

I was impressed by how quick she was at responding, helping me with my (sometimes dumb) questions at all times, with no judgement.

Rest assured, she will have your best interest at heart, and will get you the best deal possible!

We had a phenomenal time working with the team at Carey Hughes Home! We had the pleasure of working…read morewith the dynamic duo Kate and Brooklyn. Kate helped us put our mind at ease and was able to answer all of our questions and help teach us what we should look for and ask about in a house-buying experience. I loved the transparency and attention to detail that we got from both of them. We had to make several offers on a few homes before finding the right fit, but when we did, Kate made sure that it was a fast, professional, and friendly experience. I can genuinely say we got everything we wanted, and it wouldn't have been the same without her.

Carey and Kate were AMAZING professionals and people to work with in the complex and crazy process…read moreof buying a home. We started our process last year in November. Unfortunately, my husband and I didn't have our ducks in a row and a home we wanted to make an offer was a no go purely because of us. We felt so bad for Kate and Carey feeling like we may have wasted their time but they were so supportive. Kate reached out to us just to say "Hi" and wish us a happy holidays, while we were on a break over the winter from house hunting. I've worked with a few realtors in the past and no one was this warm and hospitable. We truly felt like we were not just clients but friends. This was not the only instance... Later that late winter/early spring when my husband and I started again with the house hunting, Kate continued to make us feel so special. A little background of our situation: The Portland market is crazy and tough. You have to jump on a house right then and there, offer a large down payment, and go over asking if you even want considered. It's a jungle out here. But we had the best person on our side. There were so many times, that we'd call Kate and she'd run out of her house just so that she could show us a house so that we could be the first to put in an offer. She and Carey would also team up on times when she was away on vacation to help lock in an offer. She worked long hours for us. A couple times she'd be working on a offer at 1am in the morning. Anything she could do to get us in on a deal she'd do it. My husband and I honestly did not realize that she had other clients that she was working with during her time with us. She made us feel like we were the only ones. She is an amazing realtor, person, and a friend. We honestly had the best experience with Kate and Carey. I can't thank them enough for helping us find our home.

Jennifer is very honest, likeable, friendly, punctual and you can always depend on her to respond to her emails or her phone calls right away. She really helped with moving things along and getting things done, especially when it can be difficult with us being in a different location. (She met with an electrical and roofing company for us so that we could get bids.) She even would go the extra step giving us information about our area and what deals were out there. We had a pleasant experience and would highly recommend Jennifer as your realtor. She seems very dedicated to her job and her clients.
