Tai was absolutely amazing to work with, my wife and I were first-time home buyers and she helped us through the whole process. We were living in California while looking for a house up here and she was so helpful throughout the process. From facetime walkthroughs, amazing communication, and working with the seller's agent to close on the very first offer we put in - Tai is the perfect person to have on your team! read more

If I could give more stars, I would. This team is absolutely incredible and worked so hard to find us a home that works for our family, not just now but down the road. They will give you no BS when it comes to touring homes and dissecting the house into one that will inspect well. They have made the home buying process as low stress as possible. Lauren and Daisy are wonderful and trust them when it comes to any and all things real estate. Also if you want to talk books, they have great recommendations. read more

Our family had a long journey with Chandra Ashford, Erica and Jolynn. They are smart, savvy, and know how to navigate this market. We are so grateful for their commitment and ability to cheer us along during the various detours to our landing place. If you like fierce women who have rock solid ethics, boundaries, and Portland real estate market insight look no further. read more

Evan King was amazing throughout my home buying experience. I was extremely nervous coming into the real estate market because of the endless horror stories I was told by family and friends. Evan was completely understanding of my budget and timeline. I work a demanding job that forced my house hunts to weekends and after 5 pm and Evan was always willing to accommodate! Evan was patient and kind when explaining the processes we were going through in buying the house. Evan was prompt and responsive anytime I reached out, which was quite often. I always knew what step we were on in the process as well as what was supposed to happen next which help me in feeling comfortable through the whole transaction. Evan is a wonderful calming energy that is welcomed during the crazy period of buying a home. I couldn't recommend them more for any potential home buyer! read more

We have worked with Laurie Gilmer for the last 8 years, starting with the purchase of our first home and most recently with the sale of our home prior to moving out of state. The high quality service that we received from Laurie and the Team has been nothing short of exemplary in every way. From the friendly and optimistic approach, to the tenacious effort in helping us achieve our dreams in home buying and eventually selling our home, our expectations were exceeded at every turn. Laurie and her team is a truly elite collection of Real Estate professionals and we highly recommend her as a broker for any home buyer or seller. Thank you Laurie and Team Think Real Estate for helping our family thrive as homeowners. We are so grateful for your determination and willingness to deliver for our family! -Nick & Amy Chester read more

Regarding buyer's agent, reached out to M Kauhola about a property. Did not receive a response. In a fast-moving market, bare minimum expectation is the agent lets you know they received your text/email/call but they are busy and will get back to you. If sick, create an out of office reply. It's been more than 24 hours with no word about the property I wanted to make an offer on. While waiting I pulled my own comps from the assessor's website and now I've begun looking for a new buyer's agent. The communication is below my expectations. Two stars because our initial conversation was promising. read more

I worked with Kellie to sell my condo in 2019. It was a really difficult situation--my husband and I moved to New York and had no choice but to sell. Kellie really came through for us. She staged our house, painted, everything--all by herself, since we were in New York already. The condo sold within a week. I was so relieved. She was super fast and easy to work with. I'm grateful we got to work with her! read more

Winston Murray was incredibly helpful during our home buying process. We were traveling in from out of town and had a tight time frame to buy a home. He was readily available to help us every step of the way and very responsive. We found and closed on our home within 3 weeks. I would highly recommend him and his team for anyone looking for a home in the Portland area. In addition to being an awesome agent, he has a team of people who are experts in their fields willing to help. We used his mortgage broker after shopping around, and he also set us up with a great home inspector and contractor. read more

My Fiance and I came across Winston Murray on an ad on Zillow. Being first time home owners we weren't sure what to expect but I'm glad we found Winston! He's young which was appealing to us because we are in our 20's but he was very professional and really good at listening to what we wanted in a home. I still remember the second time we met, he had us meet him and he drove us around the area we were looking in, to give us a lay of the land and to better figure out what we were looking for. I thought that was great and I was surprised someone would take us in their personal vehicle. He was generally great to talk to and always responded to all of our questions and concerns. He has an assistant Aly, who I also want to say was awesome. She drove all the way out to Gresham a few times while having great fashion sense I have to say :) When it came time to do paperwork, Winston was always super on top of it and sent documents over ASAP so we could move on the house. At the end he even gave us a little gift box including a throw which my dog is sleeping on as I write this. Just one more reason to use Winston and Aly. Great experience from start to finish. We couldn't be happier! read more

First time homebuyers here and also new to the Portland area. Count us extremely lucky to have been put in touch with Charity Chesnek and the Think team. Every detail was attended too. It's a daunting process and Charity held our hands through it like the pro she is. Always responsive, always helpful and she knows Portland like the back of her hand. Thanks to her and the team at Think, we are now the proud owners of our first house and we love it. Look no further for all of your real estate needs. read more

Amber and her team are absolute rockstars!! I bought my first house with Amber years ago and she made the process easy and explained everything along the way. When I bought my second house (in another state) I continuously wished I'd had Amber to walk me thru it all and realized just how amazing she was then. Now selling my Portland house couldn't be in better hands!! Renters had trashed the place and Amber was able to work with my budget to get it back up to par for the market. She handled everything including working with the contractors and finding the best prices. You can't go wrong here! read more

Tim Pitts and everyone at Think Real Estate are the only realtors in Portland who I will ever work with! Down to the smallest detail of your transaction you know they are on it and stay one step ahead of all your needs. I appreciate all the attention I received during my sale and purchase. Also of areas were spot on! Lastly, these folks are just good people who know their stuff & they make it fun to work with them read more

I highly recommend Winston Murray to help you find your new home. My fiancee and I just bought our first home and Winston couldn't have been a better agent. Winston is a young hip guy with great taste, an experienced real estate agent with a critical eye and speaks with an honest take on the houses you're checking out. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great home buying experience. read more

Petra was awesome! She helped me to get my first home. My experience working with her was wonderful and I would recommend her to anybody! She was extremely knowledgeable in navigating all the intricacies of real estate and very open about it. She led me through my decision without being pushy like some realtors are but right on point disclosing all possible information about how it works. She works with your requirements for a new home closely and was available to reach literally 24/7 (even on her vacation). She is very reassuring and confident which rubs off on you when you make a decision. She was able to lead me through the offer and counter offer without me stressing a huge amount because I trusted her 100%. The house appraisal came right on the dot with the amount I paid for the house. Would not be possible without her. The house needed few minor repairs and she was right on it recommending handymen who would fix it. I don't know what I would have done if it was not for her. If you need someone who has your back and your best interests in mind work with her! read more

Immediately after closing, we were over the moon about our experience with Laurie and Laura. However, over the 16 months since then, we have encountered (very) expensive issue after issue with our house (foundation issues, undetected cesspool, major electrical issues, etc), costing us far, far more than what we anticipated. All of these issues were either overlooked or minimized in the inspection process. While we love our house and neighborhood, and the homebuying process was really smooth and stress free, the first year of homeownership has been very stressful and extremely expensive, and we feel like the L-team's inspection people did not adequately do their job. read more

I have been AMAZED by the services provided by Think Real Estate. Laura Wood has been the most professional, well-organized, thorough, helpful, tell-it-like-it-is businessperson I've ever worked with. My partner and I have discussed many times how we cannot imagine having done this without her guidance. It has been not only an enjoyable process (well, as enjoyable as attempting to purchase a home in Portland, OR in 2017 can be...) but so unlike our previous experiences in home purchasing. She knows the market and the ins and outs of this business in a way that has allowed us to put every bit of confidence in her and her judgement. We simply could not be more happy with this experience from start to finish. In all sincerity, Laura Wood is as good as it gets. read more

We have had the pleasure of working with Tom Cotter. Tom was our real estate agent as we were sellers and buyers of homes and properties. In all transactions, Tom was communicative, detail oriented and genuinely knowledgeable throughout the sales process. He knows his business and reflects the sound principles of fairness...on both sides of the real estate negotiations. Let's hope that he stays in real estate...he makes this profession better through his participation in it. read more

I can't believe I haven't written this review for Chandra yet! This woman is amazing. As you probably know if you're reading this the real estate market in Portland is...rough. My husband and I really lucked out when we found Chandra to help us purchase our first house. She guided us through each house and really understood what to look for. We had a little bit of difficulty with the seller once we found our home but again Chandra helped is navigate some turbulent waters. If you are seeking a badass chick who has your back in a tough market, look no further- Chandra is it! read more

I was referred to an agent with Think through Zillow. They were prompt in getting in touch and setting up an initial meeting yet sloppy in their approach to helping me purchase my first home. They never seemed to take me as a serious buyer and kept focusing on me getting a preapproved mortgage when I had cash to buy a home. Therefore, when I was ready to put in an offer, the realtor I was working with didn't take me seriously and did nothing. Someone else put in an offer instead. The realtor wasn't willing to help me put in a back up offer despite how badly I wanted the house. I chose to fire them and work with someone else in finding a home. In my first meeting with the new realtor, I found out just how sloppy my realtor had been(didn't give me certain documents or have me review and sign things that realtors should in Oregon). Be leery of working with these guys, there are better realtors out there. read more

My husband and I recently purchased a home with Tim Pitts from Think as our realtor, and we couldn't be happier! Tim is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He was always available to answer the many questions we had as first time home buyers and is a warm and genuine person who helped us navigate the home buying process without missing a detail. We're now in a great home in a neighborhood we love and Tim made it easier than we ever could have imagined. read more

We just bought our first home, and Think Real Estate was the best possible choice to help us navigate the process. Winston has an incredible eye for homes and knew just what we needed to do to get our dream home in a competitive market. The Think team was so kind to us and supportive, we could not have had a better experience. read more

We've purchased a home and sold a home with Laura as our agent. Both experiences were as smooth as you can get. When we bought, Laura and her team were able to find the right home at the right price in the right neighborhood and get all the needed inspections, repairs, and even recommendations for maintenance and upgrades years later. When we recently sold a place, Laura and her team took care of everything, and we successfully closed within a month of being on the market. We'll definitely go here next time we move. read more

Shannon helped us purchase our first home several years ago. As first time home buyers, relatively new to Portland, we had a ton of questions. Shannon is extremely knowledgeable, responsible and helped us through the entire home buying process. She raised questions we didn't even know to ask, was at our house when we couldn't be and helped us get through the purchase process fairly seamlessly. I would heartily recommend Shannon to anyone looking for someone who will work hard to help buy or sell their next home. We will definitely use Shannon again in the future. read more

I absolutely LOVED working with Laurie, she is experienced, honest , straight forward and patient. She has an amazing eye and could spot pros and cons of each home I viewed, very often spotting things that that had gone right over my head. Even after closing Laurie continues to help me and follow up on my new home, I have never met a real estate agent that does that. I would recomend Think to anyone looking to buy in the Portland metro area,I would have been lost without Laurie,Laura and their associates, they are knowledgeable, honest and caring. read more

I would definitely think twice before using Think Realty. As someone who has been involved in several real estate transactions, working with Melinda Hood makes me think it could not be worse. If you need a realtor who tells the truth, returns phone calls, or does what they say they are going to do, this is not the firm for you. An extreme lack of professionalism, follow through, communication, and really understanding of how business works. really - stay away and save yourself the frustration! This review has nothing to do with making an offer and not getting the property. i have no problem with not getting a property when it is handled ethically and professionally by the listing agent - which was not the case here. A listing agent who won't communicate, doesn't follow through and doesn't tell the truth is unacceptable, and thats what you can expect here. read more

I would have no other realtor than Laurie. She was my realtor when I bought my first house and also my realtor when I was selling the same house a decade later. She is outstanding. Her hard work, thoroughness, knowledge, and integrity are unsurpassed. I was able to sell my house thanks to Laurie and everyone at Think. Truly a great company. read more

I just realized I haven't written a review yet - shame on me! Charity Chesneck helped us buy our home in SE last summer. We were new to Portland and she was incredibly helpful with neighborhood overviews and suggestions before we even got to town. After looking at a few places together and asking lots of questions she quickly understood what type of house we were looking for and didn't waste our time looking at places that weren't a good match. We found a wonderful home and Charity helped us write a strong offer that was accepted. Part of the deal was that the previous owners would rent back from us for a month and Charity was also extremely helpful negotiating with them so we could start some work on the house while they were still in it. She helped us find contractors and painters during an extremely busy time of year and get everything done in time for our move in. She continued to help us even after closing. She's awesome! read more

I would and will recommend Laura Wood to anyone looking for a realtor in Portland. As a first-time buyer I was nervous and didn't really know what I was doing. She is trustworthy and invested. Laura went above and beyond making sure I understood every step, giving advice when I asked for it and checking in when I seemed overwhelmed. She is kind, but she is no pushover. She worked hard on my behalf at every stage and I am so grateful I had her looking out for me. Thank you, Laura! read more

Think Real Estate is a smart bet when looking for a home in Portland. I worked with Jaime Arb Haessig above all, and I was very happy with her thoughtful help. They will give you time, knowledge and intelligence. Go with Think. read more

My wife and I recently purchased a lovely home with the help of Think Real Estate. The organization was very professional and our Realtor, Heather Lamkins was fantastic. Heather took time to get to know us and our needs and she provided us with great insights into the pros and cons of each house and neighborhood we considered. The Portland housing market is extremely competitive and Heather helped us navigate through each stage of the home buying process (e.g., searching online, touring homes, writing offers/counteroffers, completing our due diligence, closing, etc.). Think Real Estate understands Portland, the real estate market, and the communities that make Portland so great. read more

My wife and I just bought our first house and had the pleasure of having Laurie Gilmer as our real estate agent. She was professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and understanding of our needs and wants as buyers. There where a lot of things I did not understand and Laurie always found an answer to my questions. She listens and never once tried to talk us into anything we where uncomfortable with (as you hear being the case with some agents). We love our new home and hope we never move again, but if we do we won't use anyone but Laurie. read more

Tim Pitts is a wonderful real estate agent and broker. He knows the neighborhoods, the markets and how to price and purchase properties. He helped me sell our Plex and priced it just right so we obtained multiple offers and sold for over the asking price. He lives in Portland and owns rentals in Portland so is very familiar with the market and rental pricing too. Plus, he is a great guy and fun to work with! read more

PHENOMENAL! Despite the Portland marketplace being incredibly intense and clearly not a buyers-market, I am completely blown away by how seamless Laura Wood and Laurie Gilmer of Think Real Estate made the entire process of purchasing our new home! They were incredible, and we absolutely loved working with these to talented, smart and caring folks. I feel compelled to share how phenomenal the entire experience was because I know how difficult and stressful buying property is (we were dreading starting the process) - and I want to make sure others have a chance to benefit from the good fortune we had in finding these partners who made that dread go away completely. It still feels like it shouldn't have been as smooth and free of stress as it was - and I completely and totally accredit it to their amazing hard work. During the house hunting process, I always felt like I was out viewing homes with a friend (though we'd never met before deciding to work together) who happened to be an expert - and never once felt like we were out with someone that had a commission in mind. Our best interest was always the most important factor - even when my partner and I might not have been focused on the right things. There were a few occasions where we could have been easily swayed/convinced we'd found the right home, but just like a friend that is looking out for you we were always made aware of things to consider that weren't immediately visible to us. I was so appreciative of that, because it confirmed right away that we were working with someone who would focus on doing right by us (vs. taking an easy route towards a faster commission). Finally, upon finding the right home and dealing with dozens (yes, more than 12) of bids, an incredibly fast/escalated closing period, a change in the company we were financing with, and all the other stressful things that come with buying a home, our realtor was always there 24/7 to ensure everything that needed to happen did. We always received incredible guidance and it always focused on our best interest. I would reach out with so many questions - and continue to text some random questions we come across, even after closing - and am always greeted with super-fast communication and all the help I could ever hope for. This is our second property purchase, and it was absolutely night-and-day different working with this team. We actually enjoyed it. I honestly can't say enough good things. Anyone remotely questioning who will make the process (and their lives) easier - please talk to Laurie or Laura at Think. Hands down the best experience we could have hoped for throughout a process that is otherwise often very stressful. read more

Recently purchased a house with Tyra Grove and Think Real Estate. She was great to work with and helped us find an excellent house in this market. She was incredibly helpful navigating the whole process and negotiations. Would recommend her to anyone looking to start the home buying process in the Portland/Vancouver are. read more

Laurie Gilmer at Think Real Estate is amazing!!! She works so hard for her clients and genuinely cares about you and your family. Her expert advice helped us to take a leap of faith and put our St. John's condo on the market this spring. We sold it a week later and wound up buying our absolute dream house in SE Portland! She really takes the time to get to know you and figure out how to make your dreams a reality. She kept working for us long after the buying/selling transactions were over, even bringing us delicious Oaxacan cart food the day we moved into our little house. I honestly can't say enough good things about her and have no idea how she finds the time to do all that she does. She is true awesomeness. read more
