View All ListingsHeather was a pleasure to work with. She helped us through the whole homebuying process and was very encouraging when we had multiple offers rejected early on. Her knowledge of the Portland area and the particular idiosyncrasies of old houses was very appreciated. Would definitely recommend her and the Paris Group agency to anyone looking for a home in Portland.
Heather was wonderful to work with! She responded quickly and even took time for a special showing so my sister could see the house! I recommend Heather to anyone who wants to purchase a home! She is knowledgeable and knows what shes doing!
Working with Heather was an outstanding experience from start to finish. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the market, patient with all of my questions, and truly listened to what I was looking for in a home. She took the time to walk me through the home-buying process and made sure I felt comfortable and informed along the way.
My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Heather Paris of The Paris Group on the purchase of our first home in Southwest Portland, and we couldnt be happier with the experience. As first-time buyers, we were nervous and had a lot of questions, but Heather guided us through every step with patience, clarity, and confidence. She listened to what we were looking for and went above and beyond to help us find the right fit. Her deep knowledge of the Portland market, sharp instincts, and genuine care made all the differenceaEUR"not just during the search, but throughout negotiations and closing as well. Thanks to Heather, we found a home we absolutely love. Were overjoyed with the outcome and feel so lucky to have had her in our corner. If youre looking for a smart, caring, and trustworthy real estate partner, Heather is simply the best.
To anyone looking for a realtor to help with their home buying journey, we highly recommend Heather. She is knowledgeable, efficient, helpful, and super nice! She is thorough throughout the process and willing to answer questions that arise, from legalities to home renovations. We genuinely enjoyed this experience and believe others will too if they have Heather (and her amazing team) to help guide them.
We could not recommend Heather more! Our gratitude and awe towards her is huge. How does she do it!? Every step of the way she was professional and responsive -- truly part friend, therapist, cheerleader, guide. I'm pretty sure there were 10,000 details to cover from start to finish and she handled them flawlessly. We will actually miss our Heather time and input. Thank you so much for everything!
Heather was our listing agent for the sale of our beloved home that we lived in for 12 years. It was a hard house to part with, definitely a "one way door" decision. After interviewing several other realtors, it became really clear that Heather had both a good strategy and expert neighborhood knowledge specific to our home. She got us a good price and good buyers. I don't think we could have been happier with the outcome. Her referrals for staging vendors were A+ both on service and cost. I couldn't recommend Heather enough and you would be missing out to not to consult Paris Group if you're looking to list your home in inner Southeast.
Working with Heather was one of the best real estate transactions I have every done; if not THE best. She is incredibly knowledgable in the field, and is extremely responsive when it comes to questions, needing to look at homes, or just to bounce some ideas. Couldn't recommend Heather more if you are looking for a talented agent who will make your home buying/selling experience so smooth!
Heather was able to help me find a condo that fit my personality with the beautiful paths to walk and scenery surrounding the place while also helping me find a place that would be central for where will be driving to most often. The place ended up being pretty affordable, I never imagined such a cool condo would be in this price range as well. She was always there to answer questions and helped make the buying process very fast so that I could move in the week of my birthday which I greatly appreciate.
Heather was amazing to work with. She quickly understood what we were looking for and the neighborhood that would fit us best. Her cheerful attitude and knowledge made the process simpler than I could have imagined. She was quick to respond, gave us valuable insight into each piece of property we looked at and her experience in renovating was invaluable as she walked us through the process of looking for a contractor. She worked in the background to make sure our negotiations went better than expected. We appreciate Heather's genuine care and professionalism. You won't be disappointed!
Heather was an outstanding realtor. She knows the area very well and only showed us houses that fit our criteria. She was very responsive and responded to our calls immediately, which facilitated our house search on a short timeline. She has a large a number of contractors at her disposal which helped us make a good offer. Plus, she was charming and positive. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a house in Portland.
Heather was exceptionally helpful to us during recent purchase and sale. She is knowledgeable and kind, and had all the right connections to help us get our deal done.
Heather walked me through my first home purchase in the middle of one of the most challenging eras of Portland real estate. She was on top of every part of the process - from touring *dozens* of properties to somehow pulling inspections through in less than 3 days. I will 100% recommend her for any Portland home purchase!
We met Heather over two years ago at an open house as we contemplated a move to Portland. We were so impressed with her knowledge, professionalism and friendly demeanor, that we knew we wanted her for our agent when we finally were ready to buy a home. And boy, were we right! Heather was everything we hoped in an agent - knowledgeable of the area, on top of all aspects of the myriad labyrinths of real estate transactions, communicative, honest (very important!) and ever so personable. We almost hated to buy a house as it would end our special relationship. But buy a house we did, and we owe Heather and her team at Paris Realty unending gratitude for helping us find the right house for the right price.
Heather is thoughtful, helpful, and competent. She did a great job at helping us finding new home, providing insights on how to make each property work for us, or not. We were able to have open and honest communication which helped her recommend other options when we initially didn't find what we wanted. She then managed the escrow process flawlessly and helped us navigate some tricky situations. She is also a delightful person to spend time with! I highly recommend her.
Heather was a wonderful resource and supportive through my first time buying a home. I found her to be very knowledgeable about the market, about Portland neighborhoods, and what to expect. I love that her realty group is a family operation and well-established in the city. I would absolutely recommend Heather to anyone looking to purchase or list a home in Portland.
Heather is the best!! Extremely professional and knowledgeable about real estate, Portland neighborhoods, home improvement, everything! I was so grateful to work with Heather on buying my first home. She was so fun to visit homes with, and had so many great insights. Always available via phone/email/text, and willing to explain everything and make the process feel easy and transparent. Heather is a fierce negotiator while also honest and straightforward. She helped me land my dream house in a very competitive market, and even though it was an older house, she made getting through inspections feel like a breeze. I cant say enough good things about Heather!!
My partner and I were moving to Portland from out of state and were recommended Heather by a close friend. We were trying to buy a home in May, right in the middle of the pandemic. Unfortunately you can't always choose when to move! Heather was absolutely amazing and we can't praise her enough. This is the 3rd home we've purchased and Heather was by far and away the best realtor we've used. We first "met" on video call as we were still living out of state at the time, and she answered all our questions about the home buying process during a pandemic and how we would move forward being careful to follow appropriate COVID precautions. She went to numerous home showings for us around town and would walk us through the home virtually via video chat as we were still living out of state! Heather has done numerous renovations of older homes, so she has an amazing eye for potential in a house, as well as for potential problems. When we would ask for her honest opinion, she would give it without sugar coating anything. We very much appreciated her honesty and insight as we couldn't evaluate anything on our own and were relying on her discretion. Perhaps our favorite thing about Heather is her responsiveness. If we had a question she was always available via text, email, or phone call to answer questions, and if she didn't now the answer right away she would get back to us promptly after doing some investigating. We will absolutely use her again for any future home buying/selling and will recommend her to anyone who will listen!! She's AMAZING!!
Heather is very knowledgeable about the housing market in SE Portland. She was a pleasure to work with, offering calm, detailed explanations of the process as we went along, and making sure our needs and wants were integrated into the initial search and the later negotiations.
I need to start by saying without Heather I am 100% sure I would not be in my dream home that I am in today. My partner and I had been considering a move from Los Angeles to Portland for a little over a year. However, it was not until January of 2020 during a trip to Portland with my mom celebrating her 60th birthday that I seriously began my search and met Heather. We were touring an open house where Heather happened to stop by and we chatted for a bit and told her what we were doing. We explained that we had just started searching and didnt know too much about the process of buying a home, but were on our way to a few more open houses. One of these open houses looked incredibly promising and was something I was really excited to look at. Heather offered some great advice about the home and offered to meet us there if we would like some insight. She also stressed that we interview at least 3 agents, and that she would be honored to be considered among them. Her honesty and gentle confidence immediately left and impression on me, but I was still only beginning my search so I got her contact info and went on to the next home. We arrived early at the open house but were still allowed to tour. The property was an absolute stunner! It was architecturally beautiful, next to a park, minutes from downtown, had a floor plan perfect for our family, and was within our budget! My mom and I talked and figured that If we seriously wanted this home we mind as well take Heather up on her offer as there was little risk on our end. Heather immediately answered and said she would meet us there in 15 minutes. She jumped right in and began to probe the listing agents for details about the home as well as inspect the whole building. Shortly after she was able to provide us so much more information about the home. By this time the open house was swarming with people as this property was one that was so desirable. Heather then informed us the listing agent was going to be taking the final offer on Monday. Keep in mind too that the open house was on a Saturday and the home was just listed the day before. She also informed us they already had 2 offers in and that the home would likely get a few more. She continued to offer great advice and at no point attempted to pressure us to sign anything or commit. She said if we had any questions or wanted to move further to feel free to contact her, but if not to enjoy our trip and keep her in mind for the future. I contacted my partner and told him about everything as my mom and I considered what to do next over lunch. We decided to give it a shot and call Heather back. She immediately went to work on getting us a pre-approval letter over the weekend. She sent emails to many of her most trusted brokers and lending agents and found someone who was able to get us a pre-approval within 12 hours. Knowing the home was so desirable she then began drafting an offer letter with protections built in for us allowing an inspection period while remaining extremely competitive with all of the other offers. We submitted our offer and crossed our fingers. Heather continued to constantly reach out and always ensure that if through any part of the process we had questions she would remain available to answer them. 48 hours passes and we get a call back from Heather saying the listing agent has a few follow up questions. Heather again offered her expert advice on what to do next and later that evening we get the call that our offer was accepted! She informed us that this is only the beginning of the process and that we should immediately begin the inspections. That day she began to schedule everything and within the week we were able to complete all inspections and appraisals. As we had since returned to Los Angeles she made herself available for every single one of the inspections to ensure that she would be able to provide us with all of the info we may need. She again explained everything flawlessly stating all of the risks potentially involved and timelines available before we may need to do potential repairs. With this information my husband and I were able to make an informed decision and decided to continue on with the purchase. Heather again went straight to work helping facilitate everything while always remaining available should we have any questions. She even felt she may be able to negotiate with the seller to cover closing costs and get $15k taken off our offer. Through a weekend of hard negotiating and meticulously planned conversation Heather came through AGAIN! Not only were we getting our dream home but we were getting it for less than expected all while being provided the best care and support! Heather is a basically a real estate super hero, and I cannot stress how highly I would recommend her. My family and I are forever grateful that we get to call this house our home and it is only because of Heather that I have that privilege today! THANK YOU HEATHER!! <333
Once our family made the decision we were going to move to Portland, we knew finding a house was a big priority. We didnt know anyone in the area and hadnt spent more than a couple of days getting to know the city. My husband was flying through PDX and on a recommendation, he reached out to Heather to see a couple of houses. She was amazing. She dropped everything and met with him that afternoon just to accommodate our schedule. Heather was great about figuring out our needs and then advising us on where to look, as we were not familiar with any of the neighborhoods or commutes. She was always willing to answer our questions and ran down any information we needed to make a good decision. When the market started to heat up, we knew we would have to move fast and she was great about providing us all the data to make the best decision we could without pushing us at all. Ultimately, we decided to purchase a aEURoefor sale by owneraEUR? property that turned into a four-month journey that was pretty bumpy due to a difficult seller. Needless to say, having Heather in our corner to support and guide us through it all was invaluable, especially since we lived out of state. There were several times we were ready to walk away and Heather was right there to hop on the phone at a moments notice, always by our side to talk us through our options. Buying a house can be a frustrating, exhausting, stressful, emotional experience. Heather is wonderful because she is always honest, straight-forward and the counselor you need to get through the speed bumps. If you are looking for a competent, knowledgeable (and fun!) agent, Heather Paris is it.
Heather was amazingly helpful and responsive during our search for a new home. Her wealth of experience and knowledge helped us both find a great new house with room for our toddler to roam, and complete the sale of our former home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
Heather was a pleasure! She continually helped educate us throughout the whole process and was extremely accommodating with meetings and late night phone calls. I would definitely recommend Heather!
My husband and I could not be happier and more grateful to have found Heather as our realtor! As first time homebuyers the process can be very stressful at times. The knowledge and expertise that Heather brought to the table made the process so much less nerve-racking. Buying a house is a huge deal and a big purchase and so you want someone like Heather to be by your side. She explained the entire process thoroughly and in detail. We cannot stress enough the huge help that Heather was for us. She was always available to answer any of our questions and she was always one step ahead with the paperwork and what was next in the process. Honestly, we probably still be looking for a house if it wasnt for Heather. She was an amazing advocate for us and her negotiation skills are what you need from a realtor. She is very professional and knows so much about everything, always honest. We love how genuine and caring she is. We found Heather by chance and I think she was a heaven sent because we really had no idea how to achieve our dream of homeownership. If you are looking for someone to do the same for you, I assure you you will get nothing more than an amazing experience working with her. We love her and will be recommending her to everyone we know! Thank you so much for everything you did for us, we are truly thankful!
Heather helped us sell our house in Beaverton and move to SE Portland. She was knowledgeable about the area and the houses that we looked at. With her help the entire process was easy and as stress free as it can be. I would recommend Heather for anyone in the Portland area.
Our family clicked with Heather right away when we met her at an open house. We contacted her for a meeting and she got to work right away helping us find homes to view. She spent numerous hours with us and quickly understood what we were hoping for in our next home. Throughout the entire experience of selling our current home and buying our new home Heather was available for questions, kept in contact regularly, and greatly reduced our stress by contacting all of the necessary parties and keeping us on track. We will definitely be working with Heather in the future and are very blessed to have worked with her. We are forever grateful she helped us find a great house in our dream neighborhood that we now get to call HOME! We will miss spending our free time with Heather looking at properties now that we have found our home, but we know we can contact her any time with questions or if future needs arise during our home ownership.
I could write a similar review to the many others posted about Heathers help in buying our new home, however, I wanted to show a slightly different perspective. With Heathers help we recently bought a house in south east Portland. During the home inspection the inspector pointed out that the water heater was old but that we could try to get a couple more years out of it. A few days after closing on the house we had A-Temp heating and cooling clean and adjust the furnace. While their tech was there he told us the water heater just didnt sound quite right. We tried to find a plumber to come inspect, and, if necessary, fix the water heater. We were unsuccessful in finding anyone who would come out over 2 days and over a dozen contacts. We then called Heather and asked for help finding someone. Heather searched for a couple of days, and never gave up. She found a contact, Stan the Hot Water Man and got him to come out the next day. By this time not only did the water heater sound strange, it was also leaking. After the inspection and identifying the need for a new water heater, Stan returned the next day and installed a new unit. This was after the sale of the home. It was not Heathers responsibility, yet she was a champ and came to our rescue anyway. Thank you, Heather
Our situation was different, but then again, whose isn't? But for us us, born and raised in Michigan and settled in Portland for 17 years, it was a sudden turn of fate that would take us back to where we were originally from and Heather was with us every step of the way. And when I say sudden I mean it wasn't in the cards. My husband lost his job, a mid century modern home in a neighborhood where we dreamt about living in Michigan became available and timing was critical. Our move depended on getting this house and selling our Portland home for the price we needed. And like home transactions usually go, you feel like you hold your breath just long enough that you ALMOST pass out. But you don't and we didn't because of Heather. When my sister sent me photos of this home in Michigan, I called Heather on Friday night and told her we needed to setup a time to meet, she was there the next morning. We needed the purchase of this new home to be contingent on the sale of our Portland home but we needed our Portland home sale to be contingent with the purchase of the new home. It was complicated and she made it happen. When we put our house on market, Heather suggested we go lower to spark interest and get people in to see the house. We were nervous but she understood the market and behaviors and wanted to get as many people in to see the house as possible. This was in September. The market had softened just a bit and there were houses in our neighborhood that were not selling. Our house went live on Thursday night. We allowed visitors at set times on Friday and Saturday and an open house on Sunday. We had over 60 people go through the open house and by Monday, we had 7 offers. The offer we accepted was 60k over asking. Heather helped us find a wonderful Michigan real estate agent and then worked closely with the agent to make sure our timing of things were aligned. She listened to us and acknowledged every emotion on this ridiculous roller coaster and not once made either of us feel like we were being irrational. We were taking a bold and terrifying move, uprooting our family, leaving our community we love and a city we adore and we were buying a house we did not see until inspection. It was crazy. Some may say nuts, but not Heather. Instead, she always remained positive and when I felt emotional, she literally held my hand and helped me work through the decisions. Heather is amazing. Paris Realty is amazing. You are the company you keep. Best of luck on your next big adventure.
You'd be hard pressed to find anyone in the real estate business better as a buyer's or seller's agent as Heather. Besides being one of the most kind, warm and genuine people I've met in Oregon she's also extremely hard working, reassuring, knowledgeable, professional - name it. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone that would listen.
I had just left a bad relationship with another Portland realtor when I met Heather. She was a breath of fresh air, and I knew from our first meeting that she was going to be a true advocate for me. I just purchased my Portland home a few weeks ago and my instincts have proved correct (!) Not only is Heather hard-working, reliable and seasoned, but she was very attuned to my particular budget and needs. She comes from a Portland real-estate family, she knows the lay of the land and is a kind and lovely woman full-stop. It was a joy (and relief) working with her.
Heather is beyond personable and has deep knowledge of the market. She was a joy to work with. She took the time to understand our family, our wants and needs. Would highly recommend you use Heather!
We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Heather during the ups and downs of the home buying process. She was very responsive to our requests & questions. A true professional, always making her client a priority.
My husband & I highly recommend Heather Paris! When our original buyer fell through during their loan's final underwriting, I panicked. Heather had us back under contract with a new buyer by the end of the weekend (2 days). Thanks to her expertise, we were able to sell our rental & purchase a new home within days of each other. Everything felt effortless.
Heather is nothing short of amazing! She has been our realtor twice now and I can't recommend her enough. She is prompt, professional, thorough, has excellent market knowledge, and will bend over backwards to help you land the house of your dreams and/or help you get the best deal on the sale of your home. We are so thankful we chose to work with her!
One reason I chose Heather was because of all her rave reviews. Now I know why she has nothing but great things said about her. Heather was with me every step of the way, holding my hand when I needed her to; explaining the process as many times as necessary, until I fully understood. When it came to the important decisions to make on my own though, I felt empowered to make the judgement calls. Heather put together an amazing team of people to make it all happen, in the necessary time frame, and truly went above and beyond in many big and small ways; from the very beginning to the very end (and beyond). I am so grateful I landed in Heather's experienced arms for this first time journey of mine.
I cannot think of a single thing Heather could have done to have improved our experience as we went through the process that started with negotiating through a bidding war, that continued with finding a highly qualified home inspector and dealing with an unrealistic appraisal well below the market value established by the multiple bids, and concluded with a successful closing that delivered the perfect home.
Heather is far and away the best realtor i have worked with. She is very knowledgeable about: 1- The market (pricing, crime, general ambiance, demand etc) 2- Construction (what is and isn't important when looking at a purchase). 3- Referrals (she hooked us up with the best inspection team). 4- Research - she pointed us to some great websites to research neighborhood, crime rates, zoning, water quality etc. Heather isn't a pushy sales person but she'll do what it takes to get the right house for you. Most importantly, she cares about you getting into the right situation not just making the sale. Based on previous experiences with realtors, she has a really unique business practice which i have appreciated tremendously. She is top notch.
Heather was an absolute rock for me during a period of time when we, as a family, were trying to decide whether to upgrade to a new home. Heather was there during all of our back and forth trying to decide whether to move to a new home (and likely out of our beloved neighborhood) or remodel our current home to fit our needs. Heather was so patient with while we explored the options on the market and toured multiple homes. In the end, we decided to remodel. Heather was there for me during the whole remodel process giving her expert advise. I can't say enough about her professionalism, knowledge, and optimism. She's a complete blast to work with!
Heather was with us every step of the way. She was extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhood because she lives a few blocks away! We cannot have had anyone better in this stressful process. We plan to use Heather again in a few years when we sell our home and move to assisted living!
Heather is the perfect realtor for us. She started by setting up an interview to get an idea of what kind of house we wanted as well as finding a neighborhood in which we wanted to live. She set up and took us around to look at several houses while getting a stronger feel for what we wanted each time we went looking with her. Heather never pressured us to make any decisions while being firm in her convictions and advice when she knew a certain house was what we wanted. She also helped remind us about our deal breakers such as traffic noise when we were seeming infatuated with a house that was too noisy. Heather is amazing when she estimates what a house will end up selling for. We are from Eugene and have had a really hard time accepting the reality of the Portland market. She has been spot on almost every time with price. We trust Heather. We have never said that about a realtor before. We have yet to get a house but are excited to eventually close on a house with Heather. She has stuck with us when even we thought she should give up on us. Heather puts what is best for us first and she is our perfect realtor!
Heather is fantastic! We couldn't have gotten the house we have without her expertise. She's extremely professional and friendly, truly the best in her field.
The process of buying a house can be a straightforward (if a bit daunting) transaction. For me it was an absolute nightmare. My bank financing fell apart, there were unforeseen obstacles owing to my status as a foreign national and the listing agents were aggressive and at times unscrupulous. Without Heather's dedication, skill, tact, resources and conviction there's no way I would be typing this note from inside my new Portland home. She was there at every step of the way, and she was a trusted partner in the process. She pulled strings, she pulled rabbits out of hats, she pulled off a miracle. I'm more than grateful, and I can't recommend her highly enough.
Heather was extremely well versed on the procedures to sell our home. We felt as if a close Friend was guiding us. She notified us when required but let the process proceed on track, with adjustments when needed. My wife and I would highly recommend Heather to anyone in the market to sell or buy a home.
Heather was amazing! She was incredibly helpful with the process of purchasing our first home. She has tons of knowledge and she made us feel very well taken care of. We greatly appreciate all that she did for us.
We couldn't be happier with our home-buying experience. Heather worked with us during a time when there was very little housing stock on the Portland market and bidding wars were occurring on every house up for sale. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the process, different neighborhoods around town, and was very good at predicting seller behavior. She's kind, responsive, and made herself available on pretty short notice to run out to view homes or conduct research for us. She was honest with us when she thought we should pass on a house and didn't rush us into buying. We were also pleasantly surprised to learn that she has quite a depth of understanding of construction and architecture and was particularly helpful in identifying historic features in a house, as well as updates. She was also helpful in estimating repair costs. Once our bid was accepted and we entered into the inspection phase of the process, Heather encouraged us to have the house throughly inspected, including sewer scope and radon. When the sewer line was found to be failing and high levels of radon were found in the basement, she successfully re-negotiated with the seller to cover repairs and get us money back on closing costs. Perhaps most telling, Heather stayed with us for the entire 4.5 hour general inspection of the house! She's dedicated and genuine and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to first-time homebuyers like ourselves or anyone else!
Heather helped us sell a house and buy another. As it often is, these events can be stressful- and we were in a time crunch, which didn't help the stress levels. Heather was very calming throughout the processes. I asked tons of questions and always felt like I was getting well-reasoned answers from an expert. I have total confidence in her professional abilities and would definitely recommend her.
Heather is extremely helpful, responsive, patient and effective. She has great advice, and works to make sure that her clients and their families are well taken care of regardless of how it affects her pay out. She even encouraged us to be patient and wait for a better priced home rather than pushing us to over spend on a hot market. She is simply the best. I would recommend her to any of my friends or family members.
Heather was the listing agent when I saw an open house and price reduction on Zillow that fit my parameters. She handled both sides of the sale/purchase like the professional she is. The seller got the quick sale they wanted, and I got the speedy purchase I wanted without a single glitche along the way.
Heather was very on-the-ball and incredibly helpful in my home purchasing endeavor. She had a very calm and ease about her that allowed me to feel comfortable with the entire process, from setting up appointments to forwarding me to useful people for all aspects on purchasing a home. Whether I want to be aggressive or slow it down, Heather was there and ready to go whatever the circumstances. I want to thank you for all your hard work, and look forward to working with you in the future. Thanks -Sam.
Heather is energetic and good humored. She has infinite patience. She knows the area very well and was able to show me properties that corresponded to my shifting ideas of what I wanted in a home, and where I wanted it to be located. The flexibility was invaluable as I was new to the area. Ultimately Heather found me my home and arranged inspections, negotiated price and settled the purchase in a very short time. I would definitely recommend Heather to anybody looking to buy a home.
