FAQ
1. What types of clients have you worked with?
You! Seriously though, this is BY FAR the question we get the most. Typically, a team will have a niche audience, but for us we've served everyone from Troutdale to Tokyo with considerable portfolios across ALL price points.
2. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
We had a family decide to move in late autumn whom we helped to sell and buy. We had an accepted offer within a few days that was $50k over asking AND their offer was accepted on their dream home. But then in inspections, things got hairy due to some of the new property extending too far, and the paperwork started flying. We had to race and think quickly to keep everything on track to get them settled in before Christmas, and the whole thing felt like a bona fide Christmas miracle!
3. How did you get started in Real Estate?
I started back in 2001, straight out of college with a degree in business. I was fortunate to work with a small team who, at the time, were some of the only folks around treating real estate like a full-time business. It was a terrific learning experience and a perfect springboard to launch my own career as a full-time broker.

We were casually browsing for homes when Crystal was automatically paired with us through Zillow, and we came into the process completely cold, having done no prior research on home-buying or realtors. Looking back, we feel incredibly lucky to have worked with her. From start to finish, Crystal was amazing and made what could have been an overwhelming and stressful experience feel smooth, organized, and thoughtful. We truly appreciated her fun, honest opinions about homes and how clearly she always looked out for our best interests rather than just trying to close a deal. She was extremely knowledgeable, proactive, and efficient in gathering, managing, and organizing all documents, ensuring everything stayed on track and on time. Crystal was also exceptionally responsive and easy to reach; especially via textaEUR"which made communication quick, clear, and reassuring throughout the entire process. Her dedication, guidance, attention to detail, and constant support gave us a lot of confidence as first-time buyers, and we are very grateful to have had her by our side. We would highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and genuinely caring realtor.

Alexa did an amazing job helping my partner and I find our first home. She walked us through every step of the way, and explained everything perfectly. She went above and beyond helping us find the right people to handle the loan and get things fixed so we were able to move in on time. Thank you Alexa, we wouldn't be were we are now without your help.

Brian Porter was very professional from first day we started working with him to sell our condo in a difficult year. He has been very patient listening to us esp in final stages of negotiations back-n-forth with buyer, very smooth in their operations of staging. Big plus is staging was provided free of cost, which we think helped sale. Definitely recommend him, esp if you need to sell/buy condo in portland.

Monika was amazing to work with in the process of buying my first home! She has great interpersonal skills, extensive knowledge on the process of the market, and you can really tell she had my best interest at heart. She went above and beyond to make sure I received fair prices, quality repairs, and a smooth process from start to finish. The fact that my offer on my house was accepted over multiple other offers was big thanks to her and her negotiating skills! I was a first time home buyer and made everything for me far less overwhelming. I really appreciated all her help and I highly recommend working with her!

After years of looking at Zillow listings and thinking I had a good understanding of what I wanted and what was within my budget, working with Robin brought everything into clear focus. She took the time to explain every part of the process in a way that truly made sense, and she even gave me new perspective and clarity on things I thought I already understood. When it came time to make an offer, Robins guidance made such a big moment feel familiar and manageable. She walked me through each step so thoroughly that I felt confident and prepared, like I had done it before. From start to finish, I truly felt taken care of. Thanks to Robin, I found a condo I love, and I would highly recommend her!
