ZillowVERIFIEDLook no further than Grady Nelson! He recently helped us and our two adult children find beautiful homes. Our daughter found him on the internet and it didn?t take long to realize he knew his stuff, was well resourced, connected and dependable. More importantly, he was trustworthy and enjoyable to work with. He competently handled all of our affairs and has been terrific in helping us with whatever assistance/advice we have needed post closing. So glad we chose Grady and you will be, too! Gary and Nancy

ZillowVERIFIEDThis is long overdue, but with the benefit of hindsight now two years after we sold our home, we now can look back and see how blessed we were to partner with our friend Grady Nelson in selling our home. The sellers market was turning up the heat as we listed our house and we were able to capitalize on gains we otherwise did not think was possible. Grady?s market insight, professionalism and poise were the perfect combination for us to achieve top dollar for our beloved home of thirteen years. As emotional as buying and selling a home can be, it was reassuring to have a friend who provided timely updates, feedback, and ultimately found the right buyers to close the deal on time. If you just want a realtor, I?m sure most will do fine. But if you want a proven market veteran who places your best interests above all else, Grady is the one you want!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe recently relocated from Arizona. Moving to an entirely new state is an incredibly scary event but Grady made it completely seamless. We were able to fully rely on him to be our eyes and ears. His knowledge and understanding of the area were invaluable to us. He displayed great integrity, honesty and dedication to helping us find our perfect home from afar? and that he did! With excellent communication (many FaceTimes calls, haha) and compassion - he made us feel like family. Forever grateful to him and his team! - The Browns

ZillowVERIFIEDGrady was so helpful in guiding us through the entire process of looking for and buying an amazing home. He helped us really think about what we wanted and found a home that put us in the perfect location and checked our boxes. We are so grateful to him for supporting this dream in coming true.

ZillowVERIFIEDThere was a lot for me to learn as a first time home buyer and Grady took the time to guide me every step of the way. He was very knowledgeable and steered me towards the home I was looking for and alerted me of houses with red flags. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Review for Member: Grady Nelson
ZillowVERIFIEDAs a first-time homebuyer, I had very little knowledge of how to navigate the entire process. Grady came HIGHLY recommended from my mortgage lender, and from the first meeting with Grady, I could tell I would be in great hands. With the market inventory being so low, it took longer than I expected to find a home I liked, but he was patient and never made me feel like I needed to rush the process. Once I found the house, Grady helped me figure out the best price to offer for the home and how to cater towards the seller. I truly believe that my offer would not have been accepted without Gradys advice (my offer was not even the highest offer!) Overall, highly, highly recommended!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were put in touch with Grady by one of his trusted associates when we started our house search and had a wonderful experience. We were looking to buy a house on a somewhat tight timeframe and Grady got us into the perfect home at a great price about a month before our wedding. We looked in a wide range of areas from Sherwood to Oregon City and Grady happily drove across town several times to look at several houses with us on a moment?s notice. He was always very responsive with every form of communication and has an amazing knowledge of the market and entire home-buying process. He had the perfect balance of giving us great advice on critical things to think about when looking for our first home without swaying our decisions at all. He has a gift for giving excellent, objective advice about buying a home. During the negotiation process he really went to bat for us and did a great job negotiating with the sellers? agent every step of the way. We are so appreciative of how hard Grady worked for us and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a new home!

ZillowVERIFIEDGrady worked with us for several months to sort out and refine requirements for our new home. He had patience and a sense of humor as we looked at multiple homes that didnt meet our needs. He also offered a critical eye on the properties to look for things that we missed at 1st glance. When we were ready to make an offer, we relied on his market knowledge, professional expertise and ability to navigate the offer, inspection and closing processes. Lastly, as we described the changes we would like to make to our new home, he shared a list of resources get started with that process. Id not hesitate to work with Grady again or refer others who need expert real estate advice.

ZillowVERIFIEDGrady did an amazing job selling my moms condo. She lived in a complex with HOAs and they were horrible when it came to contacting them or obtaining documents needed for the buyer. Grady took care of all the calling and spent hours of time to get what was needed. We received over-asking and closed within 3 weeks which was amazing since she was going into independent living and needed to move quickly. Thanks Grady !

ZillowVERIFIEDGrady, Thank you so much for making our dream home possible. Your hard work really paid off for us. Being 1700 miles away made it tough for us to look at houses yet alone bid on one. You worked tirelessly for us, I even remember a 11 pm Saturday nite phone call preparing an offer that was the home we finally landed. Also with us being new to the area, you helped and steered us in the right direction. Thanks again, we couldnt be happier in our new town and new home. Jeff and Janie Jones

Review for Member: Grady Nelson
ZillowVERIFIEDOnce there was a Realtor named Grady Nelson, who took on the daunting task of finding a new home, in a new city, in a new state for 3 retirees who had no clue about the process. The first day, there were 3 homes to see? one was great but too small, the 2nd was too old and the 3rd was too weird. After carefully listening to each person and learning what they were looking for in a new home, he showed them a beautiful single story home in Canby, Or and they bought it on the spot. If we ever would look to sell and buy again, Grady would definitely be the only person we would call. He made the entire experience an enjoyable one.

ZillowVERIFIEDBetween buying our newly constructed house and selling our old house we worked with Grady for about a year. We highly value his knowledge, professionalism and contacts. Grady has an extensive list of trade contacts that was quite valuable for repairs and inspections. He was quick to respond and able to provide advice and problem solve. As an agent Grady really adds value when you run into technical issues. He has excellent communication skills and really helped reduce our stress level throughout the whole process. We highly recommend him- he will not disappoint.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhere to even start? As first time home buyers we had no clue what we were doing. The first night we met Grady he sat down and explained so much of the home buying process, from the process of looking at homes to inspection to sale. He was so patient with us and made sure we fully understood everything. When we started looking at homes in person, he wasn?t just there to make a sell. He truly wants you to find a home you are happy with. He pointed out little things that we may not have noticed ourselves but were so grateful he did as we ended up buying the perfect home for our family. He is so knowledgeable and has such great insight from all of his experience not only as a real estate agent, but also as a frontline worker. He answered our questions through the entire time we were searching for a home, helped direct us to the best people/companies for everything we needed done prior to the sale (mortgage company, inspector, appraisal, etc.), as well as after. Through it all, he helped us find the absolute perfect home for us. We barely had to lift a finger as he even arranged all appointments for us. We cannot say enough good things about Grady and we tell everyone we know what a great experience we had purchasing a home through him. He?s so down to earth and was available to us anytime we needed him. Grady makes what normally is a very stressful moment in peoples lives extremely smooth and easy. If we could give Grady 100 stars we would. Choosing Grady as our real estate agent was the best decision we could?ve made. Thank you for all of your help along our first home buying journey, we could not have don?t it without you.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have worked with Grady as a buyer and a seller, which can both be quite stressful. Grady as our lead was an invaluable asset in the process of selling and buying. We felt comfortable knowing we could trust him to be honest, fair, and work in our best interest. Yes, of course problems pop up, but with Grady as our aEURoefront line guyaEUR? we knew it would all work out. If there was an unforeseen issue he would communicate not only the problem, but also numerous solutions and the costs involved. He listened to what we wanted and didnt pressure us. I personally dont trust most people to take care of things the way I would like, but I do with Grady.

Grady is knowledgeable, communicates very well and is always on top of all the details in the real estate transaction. He is friendly, outgoing and always has your best interest in mind. Without hesitation I highly recommend him for any of your real estate needs!

ZillowVERIFIEDGrady is a relator you don't want to pass up. He's a quality professional that is smart, honest, attentive with your best interests put first. We sold our house with Grady when we relocated out of state. There were a lot of hoops and excess paperwork required with the relocation company. Grady was patient and thorough with all the extra work required. When we started looking for houses in our new state, Grady researched and interviewed local realtors until he found one he knew would be right for us. This was well above and beyond any expectations but very appreciated. I would highly recommend Grady to family and friends for any real estate needs.

Review for Member: Grady Nelson
ZillowVERIFIEDGrady was our realtor for both buying and selling a home, so we were able to see his skills on both sides of the home buying experience. In both cases, we were impressed with the amount of personal time that Grady was able to spend with us and his depth of knowledge and resources to guide us through the offers, inspections, repairs, and closing. In buying our home, Grady was very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods that we were interested in. We appreciated his direct and honest communication style, and it made us feel free to tell him our honest and unfiltered opinions. It led to great success and we found the house that we love. When we shifted focus to selling, Grady made the process clear and straight forward. He put together a marketing strategy that resulted in tremendous interest generated for the house and the house sold in a time that greatly exceeded expectations.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen my family and I moved to Lake Oswego we knew no one, well that changed quickly as soon as we met Grady Nelson, he took on the multi-faced role of realtor, adviser, facilitator, and friend. We visited over 30 plus homes with Grady and not once did he try to pressure us to buy a place, instead he helped us visualize what each property would like with specific renovations based on our needs. He was knowledgeable, not only about the transactional side but has in-depth knowledge about renovations and associated costs. I would 100% recommend Grady to any individual or family looking to purchase a home and for any out of state folks looking to make a move to the Portland area, look no further, Grady will be an amazing realtor and advisor to have on your team.

He was so helpful and so knowledgable on everything we had to do. He even helped with raising our credit score. We could call him anytime with questions. He really worked for us! If your looking for a home there is no one better you could ask for.

If we ever sell or buy another home, we would definitely choose Grady!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe met Grady Nelson at an open house and we're in need of a realtor. He spent an extra hour after the open house talking to us. He was very professional, knowledgeable and appeared to be genuinely interested in helping us sell and buy our next home. He helped us sell our home and took a lot of the stress away during the process. We have bought and sold 7 homes in the past 20 years and we have used at least 8 Realtors. He is at the top of those we have used. We would highly recommend Grady and look forward to using him to find our next home. If you're on the fence trying to decide on a realtor, give him a call. You will be happy you did.

Review for Member: Grady Nelson
ZillowVERIFIEDGrady was such a huge help in our search for a home and was always an absolute pleasure to work with. My wife and I were moving from out of state, which can always make house hunting a little tricky. However, Grady made the process go so much more smoothly and easier than we could have ever hoped for. Flying back and forth to look at potential homes would be a very time consuming and costly process for an out of state buyer, but for homes that we had viewed online Grady had scheduled time with sellers to view those homes and provided us with high quality video tours of the homes that we could view online. The video tours were very thorough and informative. Grady has a lot of experience and knowledge, which was quickly apparent to us as he pointed out the good and bad in each home from everything that was minor to potentially big issues. Often times he would spot potential issues that we either hadnt noticed or would never have even thought to look for. It was also very obvious that Grady was extremely familiar with the area as he was able to offer a lot of insight on different neighborhoods, streets, potential commutes, etc. Throughout the whole process we felt like Grady cared about helping us find a home that we would be happy with and meet our needs. When we were able to fly into town, he dedicated entire days to just being able to show us around and focus on us. If he had other clients, it always felt like he put us front and center. We never felt rushed or pushed towards a home that we didnt want to buy. I think it goes a long way when a realtor seems to actually care about you and your best interests over simply making a quick buck. He was a strong negotiator and was able to help us stand out above the multiple other offers on the same home. Even after we purchased our home, Grady continued to go out of his way to keep in touch and help us out in our transition to becoming homeowners. During the closing process he helped take the lead on scheduling the various home inspections and was able to be there in person when the inspections were occurring. This again was immensely helpful for us being out of state buyers. I whole heartedly recommend Grady Nelson as a realtor to anybody in the market for a home. Hes friendly, knowledgeable, and has your best interests in mind. If we ever end up looking to sell or buy a home again in the future, we would happily work with Grady again without hesitation.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy daughter and son in law referred me to Grady after he successfully found them a home to buy and then sell their home. I decided to sell my home in order to move closer to my daughter. What I found is Grady is personable, knowledgable, ethical and walks you through the process of buying and selling with ease. He is very easy to communicate with and you always feel he has your back in representing you in the real estate process. It is without hesitation that I highly recommend Grady Nelson!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were in a very rough situation when Grady came along. We were thoroughly frustrated with the market and desperate to find an ideal home. More than that, we had a horrible experience with our previous agent. From the first day, Grady was there for us every step of the way and restored our faith in real estate agents. He advised us to be patient and rational, and looked out for our best interests. When we were fortunate enough to find our house, he was meticulous and strategic with the purchase negotiations. And most importantly, Grady is a lot of fun to be around. He livened the house tours while pointing out notable advantages and flaws. And his wealth of real estate knowledge made the uncertain parts of purchasing a properly much less intimidating. I would recommend Grady to anyone looking to buy a house in Portland. He is true to his words and someone you can trust and depend on.

ZillowVERIFIEDGrady was our agent to both list and sell our home of 30 years and purchase a new home. In all, we worked together for close to a year. He was extremely patient and showed us many homes before we found the right one. Before buying the new home, Grady gave us great advice on what we should and should not do to prepare our house to sell. He also connected us with many great service providers to help us complete the work to get our home ready. Once we were all set, he priced the house right and we sold in about 10 days. Grady is committed to making the buying and selling experience the best it can be. He went above and beyond to assist us all throughout the process. I highly recommend him to buy or sell your home.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife, kids and I moved into the area last December. We spent the winter looking for homes and were a little overwhelmed. We didn't know which areas would work for our family. We decided to work with a realtor and Grady was highly recommended by a friend of ours. From the start Grady was very personable and knowledgeable of the area and the home buying process. Every step of the way Grady was available to answer questions, sometimes he'd respond when I was sure he'd be asleep! The process is stressful, but Grady made sure everything ran smoothly from the start to getting our keys. We are now in our home and Grady has made himself available to answer any questions we may have and makes sure we are taken care of. Someday when we look into selling and buying again, he will ABSOLUTELY be our realtor. Please, reach out to Grady. He is fantastic to work with.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe found Grady after our first realtor proved to not be a great fit for us. I'm glad we did. From our first meeting, he clearly demonstrated his vast knowledge on the neighborhoods on the west side where we were focusing. He listened. He could quickly point out disadvantages and advantages of properties that were not so obvious to us. He has a wonderful personality as well. He ensured every step of the process went smoothly and that we take the necessary precautions to protect our future investment. We had the benefit (and disadvantage) of not knowing any local realtors since we moved here just 2 years ago. However, I would not hesitate recommending Grady.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe live in Texas and were in the market to purchase a house in Portland, OR. Based on reviews, we decided to contact Soldera Properties and they assigned Grady to us aEUR" we had no idea how fortunate that was. Grady is a fantastic realtor and very easy to work with. With us being in another state, he went out of his way to make walk-through videos (with commentary) for us so that we could preview potential homes without having to physically be there. We found a very nice home in relatively short order and with Gradys help, had the confidence to make an offer (without even seeing the house in person). He did a great job assisting us with the negotiation and finalization of the purchase. After moving in, Grady has been readily available to help us with questions and to provide advice when needed. Grady is an outstanding communicator and genuinely cares for his clients. Weve bought and sold many homes over the years and Grady is the best realtor weve worked with. If we buy another house in Portland, we will be calling Grady again, no doubt.

ZillowVERIFIEDGrady was absolutely the best choice we could have made in buying our home. We had a complicated situation and had to buy a home as we were living over seas at the time. This meant we were not able to see the property in person before purchasing and Grady worked on off hours (late and night and early in the morning) to accommodate the different time zone and us throughout the process. He sent thorough videos and and put us at ease about the home we ended up choosing. I rarely write reviews but trust me he earned 5 stars on this sale and I would recommend him to anyone needing to buy or sell a home in the Portland area.

ZillowVERIFIEDHaving known many realtors, wife and best friend, my best of class award goes to Grady. He recently sold my sister's Portland house after coaxing another $10,000 from the buyer. He represented our granddaughter and ourselves with recent Oregon City purchases. With my experience as an engineer, I value his diligent attention to all the details. And he is very enjoyable to work with. You da man Grady.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe are first time home buyers and couldn't imagine going through this process with anyone else. Grady was fantastic, every step of the way. We met Grady at a house that spurred us into starting the home buying process. Grady patiently listened to us explain what excited us about the home, and was honest and professional about his reservations. His straightforward advice was exactly what we needed to hear. We continued house shopping with Grady and ultimately found the perfect house that is now our home. Throughout the home buying process, he was very responsive, even when my husband emailed him questions in the middle of the night while on a late shift. When we were researching how to resolve a kitchen code issue, he left a gathering of friends on a Sunday to meet us at a kitchen store to discuss options with the salesperson for over two hours so we could make a well informed decision. He was a tough, but fair, negotiator and helped us work through a number of small issues to ensure we were getting the best deal possible in a difficult housing market. We are thrilled with our new home and have already referred friends to him with the complete confidence that they will be as happy as we were working with Grady.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe worked with Grady to buy our first home. We had a great experience with him throughout the whole process. The first thing we noticed was how much we learned each time we met with him. He is very knowledgeable about different neighborhoods and each time we visited a house he took the time to share so much about what to look for and notice in a home. We appreciated his professionalism as well as his willingness to share his reservations about homes that we passed on. When we found the home that we bought he had resources and guidance for us as we went through the process of inspection and closing. After closing he is responsive for questions and advice and continues to stay in touch! We absolutely recommend working with him!

ZillowVERIFIEDLooking for a great realtor, Grady is a fantastic choice. Grady was referred to us to help our daughter find a home in the Hillsboro, Beaverton OR. area. We couldn't have been happier with Grady as he was responsive, professional, and listened to our needs as he worked with our daughter to find the perfect home. In addition to spending the time needed to research homes and provide multiple choices, he offered sound advice and guidance. We have dealt with many realtors and Grady certainly belongs at the top of the list as one of the best realtors we have experienced. If you are looking for someone to go above and beyond, Grady fits that choice. Not only did Grady provide great service and helped throughout the entire process, he was there even after the deal was done.

ZillowVERIFIEDGrady was fantastic in helping me and my partner find a new home! First we were thinking that we wanted to move to Oregon City, but as we thought about it and saw what was available we ending up moving to St. Johns. Grady was totally knowledgeable in both areas and had no problem with helping us in both locations. I felt like he got a good idea of what we were looking for and gave us good options. Most importantly he was always on top of everything, and went above and beyond to make sure we got the house we really fell in love with. He's very knowledgeable about houses and I felt that he really made sure that we wouldn't get a lemon. He didn't sugar coat his assessment of a house if it wasn't right, I really felt like finding us a great home was more important that just making a sale. He also has great contacts, we used all the people he suggested and they all worked out really well. I fully recommend Grady.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe found Grady through a realtor referral, and we couldn't have been happier! We've worked with realtors on home purchases in 4 different states, and none of them come close to Grady. He's simply the best. From the first conversation to move-in day (and beyond), he's been a part of the journey. He's responsive, knowledgeable, friendly, easy to work with, he's honest with his feedback/opinions, and tells it like it is. He's also a fun person to explore homes with! It was so refreshing to work with a realtor who thought of the entire experience, and not just rush us through the process. Grady took the time to get to know our family and what was important to us. He made sure we found an awesome home in a great place for the right price. He let us take the lead, but wouldn't let us make a bad decision. Buying a house can be a stressful experience. Even more so when you're trying to do everything from a different state, as we were. But Grady helped us with every stage of the process - from picking me up and taking me back to the airport, to scheduling contractors, to connecting me with the right people for every job - he was always available to help me and my family. The thing about Grady is he goes way beyond what you typically expect a realtor to do. He truly cares about the people he is helping. Once we closed, Grady stayed actively involved, letting in painters and other contractors until we got to our home. And he was there to meet us on move-in day to make sure everything went smoothly! I can't say enough about Grady - he's truly the best realtor we've ever worked with...as long as we're in the Portland area, he's the only realtor I'd ever work with. I'd certainly recommend him without hesitation to everyone I know, which is the highest compliment I can give.

He instantly made us feel like we were his top priority. Anything we needed, Grady was quick to provide or find a resource that could. Purchasing a home in an entirely new state was a big leap for us. Having Grady guide us through the process and give us insightful and honest information was invaluable. Grady's knowledge of the market and the area gave us details and history only a true local would know. Not only is Grady extremely professional, but he is also a joy to be around. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Grady to friends, colleagues or family looking to purchase in the area. He is absolutely top notch.

He paid such close attention to us, it felt like we were his only clients. I was surprised to see that he closed 3 other houses within the same week as ours! He was patient and really listened to our needs. He never pushed us or pressured us to buy any house before we were ready. We area new to the Portland area and he guided us in the nuances of home ownership in the NW. It took us 4 months and dozens of houses to find what we were looking for but Grady was there with us every step of the way.

ZillowVERIFIEDGrady is an amazing realtor who offers world-class customer service and knowledge of the Portland suburb market with his hands-on approach. We are an out-of-state family with 3 small children who was looking to relocate to Portland. A thriving downtown, beautiful nature, great schools, and better cost of living attracted us to the area. But this was not an easy task, as we had no prior connection to Portland. But Grady embraced us - introducing us to the various towns, driving us from neighborhood to neighborhood from house to house, and helping us to navigate through school systems and tours in order to select the best neighborhood and home to meet our family's needs. While we were at home in CA, he would check-out and video any potential properties on our behalf. This made our home search go more smoothly. With his help, we were able to finally narrow down the neighborhood that best matched our family's goals (Lake Oswego and West Linn). Grady's former career as a police officer and his board membership in one of the local school districts really gives him an insider's perspective and knowledge of the local towns and schools. Grady is a very likable, easy-going and honest guy; we felt immediately comfortable with him. At the same time, he is a firm negotiator and felt lucky to have him on our side when placing potential offers. We highly recommend Grady to help any family find their dream home in the Portland area! Our family had some unexpected personal changes that precluded us from relocating at this time. Our last 3 months working with Grady was such a positive experience. We will undoubtedly contact Grady again if we continue our Portland home search in the future. Sincerely, Nancy and Eric

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were so fortunate to work with Grady Nelson in the fast-paced Portland real estate market when buying our home. He has unparalleled local knowledge which enabled us to focus on safer areas with growth potential. He recommended excellent contractors to evaluate potential issues or complete necessary work. In fact, Grady did more than recommend the contractors, he scheduled their time and met with them at the residence since we were out of town. Grady is an excellent communicator, and promptly responded to our calls and emails. He is a strong negotiator on his client's behalf and always kept our best interests in mind. Without reservation, we would contact Grady again should we need realty services.

ZillowVERIFIEDGrady is not only an amazing realtor, but an incredible person overall. He helped us find our dream home in an absolutely perfect location. This is our fourth time buying a home and we couldn't have been more impressed with how well it went. We have never had such a smooth experience and we owe it to the knowledge, support and unmatched honesty of Grady and his network. It was obvious from day one that Grady was not out to make a buck. He genuinely desires to help his clients find the perfect home. His background on the local police force gives him a unique advantage over other realtors who may not have as deep familiarity with the area. When it came time to negotiate Grady was instrumental in helping us save big. We would have easily spent much more without him. Thank you Grady!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDGrady was fantastic from beginning to end. We were just starting to look at moving to the Portland area and Grady went all in with us. This meant so much to us that even though we weren't sure we were going to move here, he didn't hesitate to give us all the time we desired to look at houses and neighborhoods. He went above and beyond looking at houses for us when we were out of state and not able to look at them ourselves. He did such a great job knowing what we wanted in a house that we bought a house sight unseen and couldn't be happier. We did the entire home buying process from out of state and it couldn't have gone smoother. He definitely went above and beyond to make sure we were happy in our new home well after we closed on the house.

ZillowVERIFIEDI can summerize my experience with Grady in 3 words: honest, helpful, awesome. Out of all the agents I delt with Grady was the most professional and caring. I was very picky about my home and he was very patient and helpful. His connections in the area make everything easier. He truly enjoys helping people find the perfect home before and after the sale. This man makes me want to buy more houses. Thanks Grady, you rock!

ZillowVERIFIEDGrady is tremendous. Friendly, smart, and a no-bs attitude are the ways I'd describe him. I personally had zero experience in the home buying market, and Grady was able to explain things to me in a way that was easy to digest, and didn't cause me to feel dumb for not knowing it. He goes the extra mile to ensure the deal is done well, and responds in a timely manner for all questions big and small.
