Holly and Brooke just closed the sale of our house in the Parkrose Heights area…read more We live in California and had to do some work to get the house ready to market. Brooke and Holly handled all the details for us without our having to make trips back up to Portland. The sale was quick and painless. I highly recommend their services!

Holly and Ciel were absolutely wonderful helping us find our home from afar. We chose them because…read moreof their deep knowledge of the Portland area, and because the "got us." Since we were searching remotely and were not in a rush, we wanted to make sure we had an agent who would be willing to do some legwork for us and would not pressure or rush us into making a purchase. When we chose Holly, we got the sense that she was willing to be as patient as we were. We ended up finding a house a lot faster than we thought we would; it took 2 months instead of a year, and this was no doubt in large part due to the fact that Holly and Ciel were so willing to preview houses for us and send us videos of houses that they previewed. We found that we always trusted their judgement; if they said it was a good location, it was; if they said the house was not great for us, it wasn't. They were timely in their responses, and very helpful even after the house closed with advice specific to the Portland market on inspections, contractors, local laws, etc. I highly recommend them!

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.

Working with Kerri was an absolute dream. We recently purchased an empty lot to build our future…read morehome across the country. We had no idea where to start or what to look for, but Kerri was with us every single step of the way. She didn't just answer our questions; she anticipated them. She created easy-to-follow info sheets to help us navigate due diligence and made a complicated process feel simple. Her patience, knowledge, and genuine care turned something intimidating into a total confidence boost. Because of Kerri, we found the perfect property and feel completely set up for success as we move into the next chapter of building our dream home. If you want a realtor who truly goes above and beyond, Kerri is the one!

Dayna and Jill are such an amazing team! From the very start, they were knowledgeable and extremely…read moreorganized. Dayna stopped by for an initial walk-through, providing a plethora of guidance to help prepare my home to be listed. Throughout the process, Dayna and Jill kept me informed and took the time to answer my (many) questions every step of the way.

I can honestly say that the process was enjoyable and much less daunting because of Dayna and Jill's knowledge and that they are so easy to work with. Many thanks!

Unlike Stephanie, the screenshots don't lie…read more Not pictured because it was over the phone: I negotiated the $30,000 off the listing price, not her. She wanted us to accept the seller paying to fix everything, i.e. pay the cheapest contractor without caring about the quality of the work. We almost let it happen too. After a bunch of back and forth with the sellers nickel and diming everything, I got fed up, spoke with my husband, and we decided this would be our final negotiation with them, take it or leave it--no contractors, no fixing things themselves, $30,000 off or we walk. All Stephanie did was drive us to houses we saw on Zillow and draw up the paperwork. Use her at your own risk. I'll be steering clear of any company she's a part of.

Five Stars isn't enough!!!! My husband and I were true first time homebuyers with very little…read moreknowledge of the process and what speed bumps we might encounter. Amanda was amazingly patient with my 5 million + questions and was able to provide the information I needed. And if I asked a question that she didn't know the answer to, she knew where to go to get the information. She took the list of our dealbreakers, wants, needs and set us up with wonderful searches that eventually led us to the home we closed on one month ago today!! With the current COVID environment and the insanity of this housing market, she was very open with what could happen vs. what normally happens and it was comforting to have someone that was able to keep my panic at bay. If/when we decide to sell the home she got us into, I will absolutely be calling Amanda! In the meantime, I will be referring anyone I can!!!

I have been a licensed real estate broker in California for seven years, but when my family and I…read moredecided to move to Portland, not only was I not licensed in Oregon yet, I wasn't familiar at all with the market or contracts, so I needed to enlist the services of a local broker. I contacted Yamuna Benedict based on the recommendation of a mutual friend, and I am extremely satisfied with the service we received. From the beginning, Yamuna was enthusiastic, responsive, and very professional. She somehow managed to communicate well both with me, using real estate jargon and speaking to me as a colleague, and with my husband, who needed everything put in layman's terms. We also received assistance from William Shpak, who took us to some of our showings and was with us the day we found the home we decided to buy. William is bright and personable and extremely pleasant to work with. Yamuna did a great job negotiating our offer and got us under contract at a price and terms we were very comfortable with. Throughout the escrow process, the entire team at Peggy Hoag was excellent, keeping everything on track and providing us with all the information we needed. And even though we were buying a house in the middle of the pandemic, the process was just as smooth as it would have been anytime, and we closed on time. I would definitely recommend Yamuna and William to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, and I look forward to working with them again.

About a month ago, a property was listed for sale that was a perfect match for us. By sheer stroke of luck, we came across Ted Tanner at Beach Dog Real Estate Group on the internet and called him up. He immediately sprung into action and arranged an in-person viewing on the same day. We loved the property, but so would many other prospective buyers. Ted, however, skillfully structured our offer in such a way, that it was immediately accepted and thus we were able to avoid competing with other buyers altogether. We are convinced that without Ted's help we would have either grossly overpaid for the property or have lost it to someone else. But it did not end there. Throughout the entire buying process we benefited from Ted's expertise immensely. During the inspections some questions arose about the property that required consultations with several specialized professionals. Due to his intimate knowledge of the community, Ted was able to find and engage the right people on a moment's notice and help move the process along smoothly. He always answered all calls, emails and texts promptly, most of them immediately. We heartily recommend Ted's services to anyone thinking of buying or selling real estate on the Oregon Coast. It was a genuine pleasure to work with him.
