Thank you Lynn and partner Kathleen Beaton for a job well done on the sale of our home. You…read moreprovided good guidance in helping us to select the proper price point; and also in recommending updates needed to make the home attractive to buyers. Just as importantly, you arranged for and oversaw all of the many projects that needed to be completed during a time of year when my husband and I couldn't do so ourselves. Selling my home is at the top of a short list of things that I dislike intensely because of the expense and high level of stress. You made the nasty job of selling our home as stress-free as it could possibly be. My husband and I entrusted you with this crucially important project and you performed admirably. I readily recommend your services to other sellers and I am sure you are an excellent buyer's agent as well.

I was fortunate enough to have chosen Lynn to represent me in the sale of my house. My house was…read morein beautiful condition, but I knew it needed a number of small fixes and enhancements to bring it to a better selling condition. Lynn had amazing contacts that were available and did outstanding work. Lynn collaborated on everything and made the house extremely presentable. She also marketed the house incredibly well, and the open houses were great. We received an offer very quickly, but unfortunately, during an inspection, some well-hidden dry rot was discovered. This where Lynn's incredible experience shined even brighter. Lynn was calm and level headed. She listened to my concerns about selling it as is, and she once again had incredibly reliable contractors to speak to. The house went through the appropriate repairs, and once it was complete, Lynn was on top of the marketing once again, and had the house sold in a matter of weeks. Having bought and sold numerous houses, I never thought I could put so much responsibility and trust into a realtor until working with Lynn. Completely professional and extremely personable. I actually never thought I'd be writing a review for an agent, but how could I refuse after such a good experience with such a positive person!

Kim Kress is someone I didn't hesitate to call after 20 years. In addition to a recent home…read morepurchase, Kim helped us buy and sell a home in 2005. She is a top notch professional. Kim and her team curated a house search that led me to make an offer on a home after a one day search. That is because she listened and understood my needs and wants within my budget. Additionally, Kim has kept up a relationship over the years and knows me and my family. Kim has also stayed current on home trends so she knows how to get your home sale ready. Because of her reputation in the business, Kim has a well established list of contacts (Mortgage brokers, home inspector, etc.) that are also wonderful to work with.

There are a few words, which describe my experiences with Sigrund Shoemaker: Diligent,…read moreDetail-oriented, Driven, and Thorough. I strongly recommend Sigrund and her team to anyone who truly desires to sell their home. She is a subject matter expert, who will get the job done, providing resources, expert assistance and even support. If you are seeking a capable individual, who goes the extra mile to ensure success, look no further than Sigrund. When I listed my house, she went out of her way on multiple occasions to ensure a smooth process and managed the entire process, guiding all involved from beginning to end...and then some. Any "bumps" in the road were handled quickly by her and her team, making my life a lot less stressful. Sigrund is a true project manager, with a fantastic tool kit in tow, who surrounds herself with other like-minded, positive and dedicated team members who share one goal, which is the customers' complete and utmost satisfaction. I hold absolutely no reservation in stating that Sigrund is the best in the business...period.

She has tons of experience and clearly knew how to navigate the home buying process in this very competitive Portland market. Sigrund is dedicated, responsive, and fun to work with.

Sean was a great help with our recent home purchase. Having bought a home before, we came into the…read moreprocess with some experience, but Sean's guidance still made a big difference. He gave us solid advice on what price to offer, which helped us feel confident in our approach, and he was very effective when it came time to negotiate. He also connected us with a reliable inspector, which gave us peace of mind about the condition of the house. Throughout the process, Sean was consistently responsive -- quick to return calls, texts, and emails -- and made sure we always knew what was coming next. Buying a home can still feel stressful even if you've done it before, but Sean kept things organized and straightforward from start to finish. We'd definitely recommend working with him.

I found Sean in a pretty unusual way. He was selling a house that I fell in love with, even though…read moreI was not planning to move. Somehow, he made that dream a reality. At the time, I already owned a home and had done zero preparation to sell it. I had never sold a house before and had no idea how I could buy a new one while needing the proceeds from the old one. Sean immediately connected me with the right people, including an excellent buyer's agent and an incredible lender who found a creative financing solution that allowed me to buy the new home first and move before worrying about selling the old one. It took an enormous amount of stress out of the process. All of this happened over the holidays, which made it even more impressive. Sean even showed up to help us move, which was completely unexpected and a huge help. When it came time to sell my old house, Sean and his partner Nieka were amazing. They coordinated everything needed to get the home ready quickly and brought in fantastic contractors who were professional, high quality, and very reasonably priced. They hustled to get the house listed within a couple of weeks, and it closed a month later. I cannot recommend Sean enough whether you are buying or selling. He is a genuinely great guy who knows his stuff, works incredibly hard, and gets things done. I will absolutely continue to rely on him for contractor recommendations and any future real estate needs.

tl;dr traci and evette and team are superheroes who know how to navigate the roller coaster that is…read morereal estate with such grace and expertise. incredibly responsive, caring and friendly (totally felt like we were traci's only clients the entire time). 11/10 recommend. umm...a house and real estate agent who will vouch for you...in this market? yeah, even the thought is stress-inducing. in a market where the sale-to-pending window is in hours not days, you need an expert guide who can not only keep you posted about new listings, but also someone who is ready to jump on the accelerator when Zillow notifies you of the perfect listing on your lock screen. that's exactly who traci and evette are -- whenever we wanted to see a home that caught our attention, evette was somehow always one step ahead of us -- reaching out to the seller's real estate agent, having all the details, and squeezing us in for a private showing asap -- all in the blink of an eye. on site, evette was always so prepared, very knowledgeable both about the listing and areas in the home that were well done and what we should pay closer attention to, even keeping a flashlight and laser measuring tape, just in case. and, as it so typically happens, as our minds changed as we looked at homes, evette and traci were always patient and kept tabs of the little details we mentioned so that we could find the ideal home. we never felt pressured and always felt reassured! when the perfect opportunity did come up, traci stepped in so swiftly and immediately knew what to do and kept a close eye on pending offers: we were positioned for success (in our comfort zone while still being competitive!) when it came time to negotiation and honestly couldn't be more thrilled. traci was there every step of the way (literally just a text or call or email away!) and went above and beyond to make sure we were always in the loop, our best interests were represented, and our questions were answered so that we could find our new home. all in all, didn't even realize we were on the rollercoaster that is real estate :-) you're in good hands with traci and evette! they're rockstars!

I've talked to attorneys, CDFAs and a mortgage broker before, but still always came out of those discussions with as many questions as answers. I was given Dawn's information recently and felt like I finally was talking to the expert I needed. She is extremely knowledgeable about the various options and pitfalls that relate to home ownership and dealing with credit when divorcing. I would HIGHLY recommend that any homeowner going through a divorce talk to her FIRST. I could have saved myself from so much time, confusion and expense by talking to her months ago. I haven't worked with her on financing yet, so this review is limited to my first interaction with her. I felt compelled to share how impressed I am with her and to encourage others to take advantage of her wealth of knowledge specifically related to financial considerations during a divorce.

They were a recommendation from a customer of mine and we found a home that was not only perfect for us, but turned out to be a great investment! Over the years they maintained a relationship with us (seriously they treat their customers so well!). Fast forward to now and we just sold that first home and bought our second! Anna advised us on many meaningful improvements and staged the house almost unrecognizable. We ended up selling WELL over asking and that set us up for Steve to help us our new home. As soon as we were in contract, he had us out there. He helped us focus and narrow our scope into finding the perfect house for us and our kids, exactly where we wanted to be. They have decades of experience between them, in many different aspects of the business. Many connections with affordable and trustworthy contractors and home improvement businesses. The advice we received put us in a VERY strong position and we couldn't be happier! Thanks to both of you for everything!
