View All ListingsDill is a joy to work with. Her positive attitude and energy make the home buying and selling process so much more enjoyable. I?ve worked with Dill three times now, she helped me purchase my first home and I?ve been using her ever since! Highly recommend!
Dill was so great to work with for my first home purchase. She was communicative and attentive, and always available when I needed her. Her intimate knowledge of Portland was helpful, and she seems to know all the right people. Would highly recommend!
Dill was a great realtor and had us in mind at all times during the process. She is excellent at communication and taking care of the little things. Very happy we went with her and you will be too!
We cannot thank Dill Ward enough after working with her on the sale of our home in Portland, Oregon. We had purchased our new home and moved. Dill and her Team came in and cleaned up our old home (and there was a ton to clear out, haul away, and clean inside and out), completed previously unfinished remodeling projects, and staged the home to perfection. The home sold the 1st week in a market that had just raised interest rates to over 7.5%. Seriously, the home looked so good, we didn?t recognize it. Dill then guided us through the sale process, keeping us informed every step of the way, always available for Q&A, always keeping us on track. Even under great circumstances, the back and forth of selling a 1920?s home can be a lot while working and setting up a new household. From initial offer, through inspections, and haggling, Dill was there for us all the way. Dill had previously helped us buy this home 5 years ago, and now she?s helped us realize our dream of selling and moving to our dream retirement home (and btw, she also helped us find the realtor in the new state we moved to ? so she?s actually assisted us on 2 purchases and 1 sale). We love Dill and highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best real estate broker in Portland, Oregon!!!
I couldnt have asked for a better guide, coach, and advocate. The best part is that she makes the whole process fun. For example, there were moments when I wasn?t sure if we would ever find the right property. Dill kept us going, and she ended up finding the one that worked best for us. If youre looking for a home, do yourself a favor and call Dill. She and her team are the best!
Dill & her entire team were wonderful! I was extremely nervous about purchasing my first home, especially in this crazy housing market. She is so sweet and down to earth but also really knows her stuff. She found us an incredible home and really fought to get us the best deal possible. We are beyond happy with our new home and how smoothly Dill made the process go for us. Dont hesitate to reach out to her, you will not be disappointed!
Dill Ward has helped me on several occasions with real estate transactions. She is highly knowledgeable, friendly, easy to work with, knows how to get things done, and the process is always smooth with her. I highly recommend you work with her on your next real estate transaction.
She was great to work with. Stuck with us through thick and thin we looked at alot of houses and got outbid with cash offers. Until we found this condo thats detached which was perfect for us! The entire process of buying was good because she told us what we needed and explained everything clearly. We will be doing business with her again for our next home!
My wife and I were in the process of relocating our multigenerational family with three pets cross-country to Portland. We were drowning in horror stories about the real estate market and the quality of the city and juggling all the details. Dill met with us, put us at ease, listened, and got to work. She, and her associate Shannon, helped us find a beautiful home that can meet our needs. Under asking price. With a sellers credit for repairs. In Portland. If we ever need to move again, we will definitely work with Dill.
Dill was so helpful in finding us our first home! We couldn?t have asked for a better agent! Very professional, friendly, and made the whole process fun! ??????
Dill was incredible in every aspect of the home buying process. As a first-time home buyer, I had very little knowledge of how the entire home buying process worked. Dill was able to explain to us every aspect of the transaction, and was always there if we had any questions. She also is extremely knowledgeable and connected in the Portland metro, and she was so helpful in helping us pick out our home. Dill is responsive, kind, and incredibly hard-working. I could not recommend her enough.
Dill is a pro! We were in a tough spot relocating from out of state. We had just three days to look at houses. Dill and Shannon were tireless! Seriously, these women have stamina! Dills advice was spot on as we navigated a multiple offer situation. She was honest with us about downsides to some houses. She ultimately got us something we didnt think possibleaEUR"a good deal on a house in Portland. She was a great advocate through to the end. Thanks, Dill and team!
Dill spent a lot of time with us. She helped us sell our first home in a dramatically changing market and got our home staged and ready for the market in a short time frame. Her strategy, knowledge of the area, and experience allowed us to sell our home efficiently and feel so good about the outcome.
My family started our home search in January of 2022, and I have absolutely no doubt that without Dill we would not be moving into our dream home! Not only did she show us countless houses, she took the time to really listen to our impressions of the houses and come up with a solid picture of what exactly we were looking for. When we finally found our dream home, she knew exactly how to make our offer stand out in this competitive market and was there for us every step of the way until we finally closed. I don't see us moving anytime soon, as we've found our dream home, but I have no doubts that if we are ever in the market for a home again, we'll be contacting Dill Ward.
Dill came in as a reference from friends and couldnt have been more perfect. Dill and her team and extremely knowledgeable, and were very helpful throughout the entire home purchasing office. They went above and beyond, even working with us while she was in vacation!
Dill was amazing to work with. She showed us many homes and took the time to help us figure out what we were really looking for in a first home. Great experience!
Dill is incredible at negotiating to get the best outcome for her clients. She responded quickly to my inquiries and is a very good communicator. She made this a smooth process for me. You won't regret working with her!
We've used Dill twice on the buy side and twice on the sell side. Everything is turn-key and high-level. She's super-responsive, has all the processes locked in, and possesses outstanding instincts for market positioning and negotiation. Dill is awesome!
This is the second home Dill has helped us purchase. She was very patient as we narrowed down exactly what we wanted, and was a great support. What really impressed us both times, though, was her savvy negotiation and networking - this woman has skills and advocated for us well. We recommend her to everyone without hesitation.
Dill was an absolute pleasure to work with! She's super positive, professional, knowledgeable, and always goes above and beyond for her clients. She took the time to really understand what we were looking for and supported us throughout the entire process. We really enjoyed working with Dill and highly recommend her!
Dill was great to tour with and knew the Portland area well and the details of each building. She suggested a few additional places we should check out and found us our dream condo! There were a few areas during the purchase process where our expectations weren't met. We were hoping to lean on her expertise when it came to an offer number to start with, we got answers like "Whatever you think is fair" that didn't give us much confidence like we were shooting in the dark. Once there was a counter that barely moved, it felt like she didn't think we were serious buyers. I ended up consulting with my former realtor from a different area to strategize on negotiation and felt like we were at risk of losing the deal. There were a few dropped balls on the lender / escrow process that she jumped in to handle and she was great at communicating what was happening. Overall we ended up getting our dream condo which we're very happy with and Dill welcomed us with a nice housewarming gift.
Dill a d crew went above and beyond to make our experience as smooth as possible, and handled everything that came up along the way amazingly. She and our experience was 10/10
I have worked with Dill through four house buying experiences and dont want to work with anyone else. She and her team are responsive, professional, and thoughtful in how they treated my desires and concerns. She remained calm and stayed convinced when it seemed impossible. Her enthusiasm and joy for what she does shines through and reminds me to be mindful of the process and the end goal when things have gone not as expected. I recently mend her to anyone looking for an agent who know her stuff and loves getting deals done!
Dill is amazing!! We bought, then sold our first house with Dill. In a really tough buyers' market, Dill got us our dream home. Then when we were ready to sell, Dill sold our house while we were living out-of-state. We always felt like we were in good hands. We couldn't recommend her more!
Dill was an awesome agent to have! She was great to work with every step of the way, and did a really great job communicating with all parties along the way. Would absolutely recommend her team if youre looking to buy or sell your home.
I had to buy a house sight unseen, and Dill made the whole process so easy. I truly knew the neighborhoods, the streets, the locations, the ins and outs of the houses. Amazing communication and great negotiation skills. I wouldve never been able to purchase a home if it werent for Dills persistence and knowledge. Thank you!
Dill is a master at knowing what matters when selling a home. She saved us lots of money by knowing which repairs were necessary to get ready to sell and which would just be a waste of our dollars. She is also a master negotiator. She also has a team and can just "take care of it" when issues come up, and something always comes up! I cannot recommend Dill highly enough... I've sold about 8 houses in my lifetime so far and this was by far the best experience I've had.
I have bought and sold 2 properties with Dill and the attention and expertise she brings to the market and negotiations is comparable to none. She will always be my "go to" in the Portland market.
Dill exceeded all expectations we had for an agent and made the process of buying our first house as simple, fun, and relaxed as possible. She is exceedingly knowledgeable and has a genuine, charming desire to help buyers find the perfect home.
Our daughter embarked on the first house adventure at the beginning of 2015. Thank goodness she picked Dill Ward and her team to help her. My husband and I are only a plane flight away, but too far to be of help on a daily basis as she slogged through the process of discovering location versus dollar value. Dill helped her every step of the way, and the outcome is perfect. She closed on a beautiful starter home with plenty of upside potential in a safe neighborhoodaEUR|..all things that parents care aboutaEUR|without losing the flavor of a trendy new neighborhoodaEUR|.the thing that young home buyers care about. Well done, Dill! You successfully bridged the generation gap.
What a great experience! Buying a house can be a huge headache, but luckily we asked Dill Ward to be our buyer's agent. She listened patiently to all our strange wants and needs, and found plenty of places for us to look at that fit our budget. Dill's magic is that she knows Portland really well, and she knows people even better. She took us to see a number of places and made note of our reactions to each one. The last place she took us to looked different than our search criteria so was a surprise. "Why don't we just go check it out?" she said, because she had figured out our wants and needs better than any web site's search engine. Sure enough we loved the place, bought it, and it's where I'm sitting typing this review right now. Thanks Dill!If you need help buying or selling a home, call Dill Ward.
Dill helped me to buy my first house back on 2012. If not for her hard work and the extra effort she put in I would not have the house where I live today. Being a first time buyer I did not know exactly what I wanted and she was wonderful in helping me explore a bunch of different options. I have recommended her to my friends and will continue to do so in the future. Pretty much Dill Rocks!
Dill helped us reign in our house search very quickly and found us our new home on the 2nd day (even though it took us another 5 days to realize it). She knew all the ins and outs of setting up our offer which was accepted easily and gained us more than we originally thought we would. Her knowledge in real estate transactions and home buying was invaluable to us.
We turned to Dill when we were seriously let down by another realtor and the difference was night and day. Without going into all the details, Dill made what was a very stressful move, for a family of five, in the middle of winter, a very easy and enjoyable experience. We cannot recommend her strongly enough. We will, without doubt, use her again, and would recommend her to anyone.
Dill Ward is a dedicated and exceptional individual. I worked with her for several months and was impressed with her attention to detail and her perseverance. She worked tirelessly to find us the property that we needed. She was willing to go the extra mile to make sure that the process of buying a house was painless as possible. I highly recommend her as a real-estate agent, and as a person!
Dill will do whatever it takes to make the buying or selling of a home a positive experience for her client. She worked with me extensively when my son purchased a very low-end home in North Portland and again a year later when my daughter bought a higher-end home in St Johns. They are both extremely happy with their purchases. I recommend her without reservation to anyone who needs an agent in the greater Portland area.
The home was listed for 90 days with another agent with NO offers, prior to Dill. Dill's professionalism and creative marketing efforts SOLD this home. I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again soon.
If I could give a million star rating I would. Dill made the process of finding and buying our house a true joy. She navigates the real estate scene with ease and confidence. Her upbeat and positive "can do" spirit is infectious. She was always there for us every step of the way. In today's real estate world you need someone like her to make things happen. Over the years my wife and I have moved quite a few times throughout the country and I can't think of a better experience than with Dill Ward. Like I said, "a million stars" maybe more!!!
Dill energetically and patiently helped me find a condo in the Washington Co. A couple of attempts to purchase didn't work, but Dill kept working on the project. I highly recommend her as a real estate professional.
What I liked best about Dill was her willingness to let me "explore" what I wanted and needed in a home. She really cared that I ended up in a home that was the right fit for me. She is tireless in her healthy energy. And though I did not know her before she became my realtor she has become a trusted friend. I would and have recommended her to family and friends.
Dill helped me buy my first home and I really can't imagine doing it with anyone else. She was so understanding of my needs and particular quirks. I feel like she really listened to my list without judgement and proceeded from there. We found my place super fast but then getting thru finance took forever and thru it all Dill remained in contact and offered me support. I never felt alone or abandoned in the process which meant so much, especially dealing with the horrors of banks! She remained positive and full of good humor and encouragement. I would recommend Dill to anyone looking for a personal touch combined with great knowledge. She's super!
We worked with one realtor for 10 months and didn't find anything like we were looking for. One month after starting our work with Dill we found exactly what we wanted. Dill is a superstar.
As an owner of a Property Management company, we use the services of many Real Estate related professionals. I can hearty recommend Dill to handle your real estate transaction. We refer her to our Clients if they need a Real Estate agent. We used her services for the purchase of a recent short sale duplex for ourselves.Dill is very personable on the phone and a delight in person. Don't let that easy going manner fool you, she is a tenacious when it comes to following the multitude of details required in any purchase/sale of a property.
We purchased a short sale duplex through Dill and the process went way smoother and faster than we ever expected! She was a gem at dealing with the tenants through the transition as wellDebbie M.
Dill is an amazing realtor to work with. She guided us step by step through the home buying process truly listening to our wants and needs while balancing the reality of our budget. She is very knowledgeable with a lot of heart and soul!
We had been stuck with a really lazy realtor that my parents found and preferred, who refused to answer calls, put in bids/offers for us, or inform us of how bids were going once they were made. We became so incredibly fed up that we started calling the real estate agents on the listing of every house we were looking at for a quicker viewing. One of those days, we met with four different agents, and at one point, we met Dill. My partner and I both instantly felt good about her, but still had one more meeting with another agent on a house in Gresham, so we tucked the name into our back pocket, and checked out the final house with that listing agent. We loved the final house, and while the listing agent was nice enough, the moment we walked out of the house, we called Dill, and that very night, she put in an offer for us. Maybe a day later, the owner of the house we wanted most accepted the offer; this of course was a short sale, so Dill cautioned us to continue our search. She also informed us that she got the offer in at 7k LESS than the asking price, which was a surprise to us, because as far as we knew, we were offering the full asking price. After the offer was accepted by the home-owner, we were in for a wait due to the property needing approval by two banks. Dill sent us listing after listing, and always persuaded us to keep an open mind. She also accepted our refusal to keep an open mind about certain things (we wanted no less than 2 baths, it had to have a minimum of 6k sq ft back yard, and must have a garage). We made it a tough search for her, and we were very needy- she was quick to respond to our texts, and another thing you should know about Dill is that she has an indestructable positivity. She could just as easily go into social work, helping the distraught with the attitude she has, but she chooses to take on even more of a challenge. She ALWAYS made time for us, as late as we were available. Sometimes she'd call us at random and ask us if we were available because she'd found a house she thought we'd love. Of course, those houses she showed us, we DID love, but often we'd make an offer, and there'd be six or so other offers on the property. She never stopped encouraging us. A few months into our short sale, a family member who was recieving the loan for us lost their job after many years. It was the most unforseeable thing to ever happen to our family, and it was devastating, and made us very fearful because we had limited options due to a unique circumstance (our occupation/credit/etc). Dill responded with a very calm and reassuring attitude and told us to just take a few days to breathe, and that we'd figure something out. Sure enough, we did, and she had been full of suggestions to keep us hoping, in the meantime. Not long after we got back on track with the loan issue, the two banks approved our offer on the house we'd originally wanted- the first house Dill put an offer in on. There was never a time we had any doubts about Dill, and we're very skeptical and critical people. She communicates, encourages, listens, and is absolutely full of brilliant ideas and suggestions. We must admit, we're a little bit sad that the buying procedure is all over. We no longer have a reason to text her and tell her we need her right away. We will recommend her to all of our friends and family, and if/when we buy another property down the line, we will return to the person who helped us get into our first home- a place we love, and a place we didn't settle for but wanted the most. Overall, there was not a single person of the many agents we met with that made us feel more comfortable than Dill. She's friendly and professional, and LGBT friendly as well.
