ZillowVERIFIEDJason and Kristen are both powerhouses in their own right. We met them when we bought our first home in Portland back in 2016, and then when it came time to make a move to a bigger place, we had no question in our minds who wed be working with. Jason and Kristen, aside from being outstanding realtors and fantastic at their jobs, theyre truly ALL-AROUND FANTASTIC people. When you have the passion, charisma and love that this couple has, youll be successful wherever you go. Plug this dynamic duo (and supporting cast) into the sale or purchase of your new home, and youll be good-to-go! I could brag and go on and on, but the proof is in the pudding for us, yall. Jason can flat out hustle and move quicker than most people, and thats usually before most have had their first cup of coffee in the AM. He also rips on a surfboard. Kristen is the Yin to his Yang (haha) and is truly a wonderful woman. My wife and I have enjoyed their friendship for years and look forward to enjoyable memories for years to come. Sidebar: They also throw great parties. If you get an invite, youd better clear your calendar bc its always epic and youll meet more great people too. What else is there to consider? Your move.

ZillowVERIFIEDWith skills and expertise, Jason supported me as I made important decisions from the start to the end of sale. Specifically, his communication, knowledge and expertise in the Portland housing market, experience in negotiation and contracts, and care and concern for me made the entire process financially beneficial for me.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had the best buying and selling experience with Jason and the team at Current Dwelling Group! I can highly recommend him and his team! Jason helped us navigate the long complicated process of buying a new construction home. He attended weekly walk thrus and was extremely attentive to our needs/wants and communicated these to the builder/seller. He was a great advocate and problem solver for us. He then sold our house for more than asking in just five days in the slower real estate month of November! We truly appreciated his fantastic communication, responsiveness, strategizing, positive attitude, calm demeanor, and overall guidance throughout the whole process. He answered our questions patiently and explained the steps as we moved through the process. The concierge level service that he and the team provided was like no other. He arranged for and coordinated the staging, home energy score and repair contractors for us! We truly appreciated that as we were busy getting settled in our new home while selling our old home. He had a fantastic toolkit of recommended trades, from inspectors to house cleaners, stagers, plumbers, electricians and lawn service folks. Jason clearly loves what he does, is extremely knowledgeable and is great with people. That really shows in the level of service he provides. We got to know him quite well during the process. Jason will absolutely be our first call the next time we are ready to buy or sell!

ZillowVERIFIEDI came across Veery by chance as a referral from another agent in Washington whom I had also found by chance. It was perhaps the luckiest thing that happened to us in our home search. As first time homebuyers we were totally new to the process. Veery explained everything, showed patience, shared links to all sorts of resources and data, and stood in our corner throughout. Her opinions during home showings were always professional. She coordinated and organized the results of all the inspections, repair quotes, and walkthroughs at record speed after providing us with options. Veery communicated clearly and concisely, and was a fair arbiter in both the purchase price and repair negotiations. Really, we couldn't have asked for a better agent. We also met with her partner, Jason, during our introductory meeting and for a round of home showings - he was great! The whole team was fabulous - closing the home was so efficient it was almost shocking how easy it was. Would absolutely hire Veery again and will recommend her and her team to all my Portland friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIEDJason and the whole Current Dwelling Team are fantastic! I couldnt recommend them more highly! They were thoughtful, responsive, creative, and detail-oriented from day one. They will advocate for you and give you their candid read on everything from comps to pricing to staging design to negotiating. They were highly skilled and adapted to the particularities of our needs. They hustle and will work with tight timelines. We had a complicated home sale with many moving parts and they navigated every piece of it with grace, speed, and competence. Beyond work, they are lovely people. I'm so grateful to have had them on my team.

ZillowVERIFIEDI have recommended Jason to friends. He is the best real estate agent in town and helped me both buy and sell my house. He is great at navigating the ever changing housing market. Everything went smoothly because he anticipated potential bumps in the road. When I love to Portland in 2019 he helped me make offers and close on a house in the desirable Alameda district. Even over Christmas vacation he made sure he was available to help me navigate document signing and conifer offers to the seller. Was able to negotiate a drop in the purchase price since it needed a new roof. Five years later when I moved to Washington to be with my partner I called him and we were able to stage and sell the house in a couple months. Even when I was living out of town he was able to take care of things in Portland. Super lucky to have him on my team

ZillowVERIFIEDJason and his team helped us buy our first home, and we are so grateful for all that they have done. We were so intimidated by the process and werent sure where to start, but Jason made everything seem so easy. He encouraged us to think about our goals and future in our home, and he worked quickly when we found the one we loved. We always felt like a priority and Jason arraigned everything we needed to make the process move quickly and easily. We are amazed at how efficient this team is and couldnt be happier with the home that we found. We couldnt have done it without them.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe recently sold our home with Jason at Current Dwelling and we couldnt be happier. Jason is professional, communicative and organized, while also being caring and respectful. What we appreciated the most about Jason was how responsive he was and how he always walked us through updates. This made the entire selling experience a pleasant one and we would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDJason and the team have been the best. Being first time home owners hunting for our first house would not have been possible without the guidance and help Jason had provided. Jason has been so quick to change gears and be right with us with all the changes in our situation and taste in homes. So happy and comforted that he's held our hand through every step in the process and answer all our questions along the way. We could have never found a better agent and team to assist us. Jason will definitely be our go to for any other future real estate needs. Thank you Jason and the rest of the team.

ZillowVERIFIEDJason, Kristin & Veery were all great! The homebuying process is an intimate one and can be very overwhelming but they were supportive, patient and ensured that all my concerns were heard. I had a ton of questions and they were able to address them all and steer me in the right direction with helping me identify my wants, needs and requests. They provided such great customer service and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone! I am beyond appreciative and extremely fortunate to have them alongside of me during that time! I can't thank them enough! :)

ZillowVERIFIEDI first learned of Jason Anderson from a good friend. He helped her and her husband purchase a house on the first offer. I didnt think Id get that kind of luck with the current market, but it turns out it wasnt luck. When Jason Anderson is your realtor you get top-notch service, deep knowledge of the market, and fantastic negotiating skills. I was in shock when my first offer was accepted. The next few days were a blur, but Jason confidently led me through the process. He helped me get a house that I love and made sure that I was well-represented in the negotiation phase. He works with a fantastic inspector. Together they made me feel very confident that I was getting a good house. Ill always be thankful to the Andersons for getting me into my first home.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I had the privilege of working with both Jason and Kristin in buying our first house, and the experience was extremely positive. Jason and Kristin standout in their field as exceptional real estate agents. We leaned on them heavily as first time home buyers, and they were outstanding. They were flexible with us as we were looking at homes in a 30 mile radius, which meant some far drives for touring houses. They understood our budget and some of the limitations we would be facing. They brought quality data to every meeting about a neighborhood schools, crime rates, and had good insight around growing communities. They were on time to scheduled meetings, and were able to get us into any house we wanted to tour. The most important trait we saw was their steady perspective. They did not let us get to high on any one house. This was helpful when we considering budging on some homes, when they truly would not have been a good fit. This perspective helped us find our dream home. They are also very skilled in understanding the housing market, costs, negotiating repairs, and setting up a competitive offer within a budget. They got us in our dream house in less than a month, which was something we were not expecting. We were blessed to be able to work with them, and will work with them in the future if at all possible.

ZillowVERIFIEDJason and Kristin are the absolute best! We were referred to them through a friend and had a flawless experience. We primarily interacted with Jason who was organized, down-to-earth, timely, knowledgeable and warm. Jason got us our house by just the second offer we put in. He helped us navigate how to make competitive offers and never made us feel pushed into anything or guilty for all the many open houses he accompanied us to in the months we worked together. Would consider him a friend and would recommend them to any loved one looking to buy/sell a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I worked with Jason to find our new home in Portland, a long term plan we've had, and with his help it turned into a reality. Jason helped guide us through a high pressure buying market by educating us on various strategies, listening to our wants and needs, and guided us through the process with patience and support. A genuine person with a great negotiation and business aptitude, Jason made us feel confident and cared for during our house buying journey. Would highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIEDJason and Kristin are the ultimate duo! We had the pleasure of working with Kristin when we bought our first home in 2015 and it was a no-brainer to partner with them when we decided we were ready for our next home. Buying a home is a complex, and sometimes stressful process, and these two really take the time to the remove barriers, challenges, and headaches. They not only understand the emotions involved, but also the support and knowledge required to succeed. Their hands-on and informative approach allowed us to focus on the pieces that were important and land our dream home. They handled the rest! Being our second home, we knew exactly what we were looking for and set out to get it. Once we shared our top options, Jason and Kristin jumped on it immediately and got us in to see them. We fell in love with our first choice and they worked quickly to put in our offer that evening, we were accepted the very next day. In the following days, they set us up with the best home inspector and connected with our lender to push this process along to set us up for success. We closed in less than 30 days, in a very competitive market. From the first phone call to receiving the keys, they were by our side every step of the way. Kristin and Jason are so thoughtful and strategic in how they work - from educating us on all the benefits and possible pitfalls to advocating for us in negotiations to just being kind and warm humans. Most importantly, they were very communicative and ensured they understood our goals and concerns to best support and advocate for us in this journey. It might appear that there are so many options for realtors, but for us there always has been and only will be ONE team, and that is Jason and Kristin!

ZillowVERIFIEDJason and Kristin were absolutely wonderful to work with. Without them, we would not have gotten our home! We toured a very competitive open house on a Sunday and the homeowners needed an offer by Noon the next day. Being new to home buying, we had ZERO clue on how to proceed. We contacted Jason & Kristin and they walked us through all the steps of putting in an offer and thoughtfully answered the million questions we had as we signed our lives away. Within that 24 hour window, they hustled & helped us put together a great offer aEUR" and we ended up getting our dream home! They were invaluable from start-to-finish and helped us every step of the way until we got our keys. They are incredibly knowledgeable, resourceful, and genuine. You know that you're in good hands when you work with these two. They are true professionals and come highly recommended by me and my husbandaEUR| We couldnt have done it without you guys! Yall are lifesavers & straight up UNICORN realtors!!!

We trust Jason with looking out for us in every aspect of this complicated home purchasing process. There are so many parts and places where things could go wrong. (especially in these times) Nothing did. Just a wonderful experience and we feel very fortunate of having him on our team. We would honestly recommend him and his lovely wife to anyone who needs a friend in the home purchasing or selling of their home. They helped us buy a wonderful house in Lake Oswego. with a community center that has everything we were looking for.

ZillowVERIFIEDBoth Jason and Kristin are certainly the dynamic duo when it comes to meeting their client's requirements and ultimate needs. They work very well together to get exactly what you need from the partnership...and that's exactly what it felt like throughout the relationship. They asked the right questions, were very particular with advice and formalities and always available when required. I would highly recommend both Jason and Kristin to look after your property and getting the job done with precision and professional courtesy.

Review for Member: Jason Anderson
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I came to Jason and Kristin Anderson after living in our home for 30 years. The market and method of selling a house changed drastically in that time. The process of getting the house ready to sell challenged us all but Jason and Kristin listened to our concerns and helped us through the rough spots leading up to putting it on the market. They talked us through all the contracts, offers, and negotiations after the house went on the market. They were flexible with strategies to sell and referred qualified people to help with fixing or evaluating any problem areas in the house. They dealt with potential buyers and agents helping them as well. The sale went through in a timely way and we feel very happy with the results. It helps when walking through a business transaction to do it with someone trustworthy, capable and who will go the extra mile to make sure things work out right. Jason and Kristin displayed honesty, integrity and expertise in all areas of real estate transactions. We would highly recommend them.

Review for Member: Jason Anderson
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I started off as clueless, overwhelmed first time home buyers. We somewhat randomly connected with Jason and Kristin, and they broke the process down into something that felt achievable. They supported us through every step - including being outbid multiple times, finally connecting with a (capricious) seller, organizing bids from professionals in different fields, and even keeping our credit union on track to close. No matter what obstacle popped up, we felt at ease because Jason and Kristin were on our team. They stand out as experts in their field, and they only work with the best, so we knew we could trust them with anything.

Jason and Kristin got me my second home, and I am continually impressed by their professionalism and efficiency. They are hands down the best realtors to work with. They truly have your best interest in mind as a buyer and they know what points to negotiate and when, they are excellent listeners, and they make you feel safe in their hands. Two times now they got me my dream home, can't wait for the third! :)

ZillowVERIFIEDIf you are thinking of buying or selling a home (or both) we highly recommend Kristin and Jason! They put in the hard work, use their experience and network to help you every step of the way! There are very responsive, organized and timely throughout the process and are willing to go the extra mile for you! When we listed our home, they helped us quickly figure out what we needed to do to get it ready for showing, introduced us to landscapers, cleaning and design services and even offered to lend us their own plants to make a room stand out! That kind of commitment to helping us came through in all the other aspects of selling our home and buying a new home.

ZillowVERIFIEDI come from the real estate world, the escrow side, and have met many realtors; when I say Jason and Kristin are superior, I truly mean it! I was treated with such kindness and sincerity, and what really shone through was their passion in finding the right home for myself. I was so at ease knowing they had my back the whole way through and they fought for me to get my dream home!

ZillowVERIFIEDKristin and Jason made such a wonderful team working as a couple. They created a positive and caring structure to professionally sell my house. Each step was carefully planned and executed. I moved from the first meeting to the last with them personally committed to the project. I was able to trust them explicitly. They told me what to do, I did it and the house sold in 22 hours. Done and done. Even when we had an obstacle created by something completely out of their control we all strategically made a plan and got through it. I couldnt be more thankful or supportive of these two.

ZillowVERIFIEDI cannot recommend Kristin and Jason enough! They made the (very stressful) process of buying a home so much easier and smoother. They not only communicated every single step of the way about the process, but would call or text us just to check in and see how we were doing with it all (giving my anxiety reassurance). I told Brandon after it was all said and done, "I just want to be friends with them and hangout with them!". Truly a wonderful experience, and if we ever buy a house again, they are the one's we'll call! Thank you guys for everything you've done! We appreciate you SO much, and are so grateful you helped us find our HOME.

ZillowVERIFIEDJason and Kristin were remarkable to work with. My husband and I were first time home buyers, and we had a lot of questions (all the time!). I can be pretty demanding when I am stressed and they handled my late night texts, multiple emails, and truly incessant neediness with calm and ease; never making us feel like we were asking too much or being too demanding. We were guided well throughout the entire process, from viewing, to offer, negotiation, repairs, and closing. They even took the time to help us set-up our own desired repairs after the deal was closed. It was great getting to know the hobbies and backstory of Kristin and Jason as well. Having worldly experiences and information to share beyond our community, but also being knowledgeable of the community we were interested in making our new home. We cannot recommend the pair enough. Thank you so much Jason and Kristin, we couldn't have done it without you!

ZillowVERIFIED(Negotiation skills go to 11) I recently bought a house. It is not the first house Ive bought, and probably wont be the last. The path to closing had many bumps, but what kept the whole thing rolling and kept me sane, was my realtor. I found Jason and Kristin Anderson via a recommendation of another realtor who I had worked with in the past but was now out of the business. And I feel very fortunate. Jason and Kristin met me and got me set up in their system and worked with me to define my goals and understand the market here in the Portland area (I'm originally from Texas). The search process took a while (months not years aEUR|) but when the right house came along we moved on it quickly. We hit our first bump just trying to win the bid, but Jason worked some magic and we won. Jason and Kristin had been great in keeping me abreast of the market and up to date on new listings, but it was in helping me get to closing where they really shined. Having won the bid we moved to the inspection phase and confirming the mortgage for the loan amount I wanted. Again bumps in the road, and again Jason and Kristin came to the rescue. The inspection found a couple of issues and the mortgage company ended up needing additional information. But through it all Jason and Kristin guided me, worked as effective and efficient liaisons, and constantly kept me up to date. I thought the deal had fallen through twice due to circumstances beyond our control, but each time Jason and Kristin came up with a solution. I cant thank them enough for their effort and diligence in helping me get the house. One of Jasons many strong points is his skill in dealing with people. Taking confusion or misunderstanding and finding win-win solutions. I would not have gotten to closing without their expertise and help. Jason and Kristin have the experience and dedication to help you get the house you want, but it is their ability to absorb the bumps along the way and keep things moving forward that really made me so happy that I had found them and asked them to help me find a house.

ZillowVERIFIEDI cannot say enough about how amazing Jason and Kristin were to work with! As a first time home buyer, they were my absolute dream team. Not only did they make everything super clear and easy, they were constantly looking out for me in ways I hadn't considered. I was blown away by how hard they were working for me behind the scenes. Scheduling everything I needed to make the best decisions and then get the best deal. There was also never any pressure or question of whether or not they are were on my side. I will continue to work with them for any and all real estate decisions in the future as well as recommend them to everyone I know.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen we met Jason and Kristin, we were very nervous about the idea of selling our house and buying a new one. We feared being unable to sell and facing financial disaster. After all, our whole family had been dissatisfied with the old place for a long time, so who would want to take it off our hands? And that was only the biggest of our worries. It seemed there were a million ways things could go wrong. ... and thanks to Kristin and Jason, everything went right, instead! They gave us great advice and made sure we knew what to expect, every step of the way, which went a long way towards addressing our fears. When we found a house we loved, Kristin's knowledge and insight gave us enough confidence to make an offer, then she powered through the paperwork to make a deadline measured in minutes. As it turned out, that offer was accepted over another, higher offer, thanks to her advice to write a letter to the sellers. Finding our dream home was the first miracle, but then Jason and Kristin performed another. Before we even entirely finished moving out, they had found a buyer for the house we feared would be impossible to sell! Everything with both transactions went astonishingly well, and instead of the months of stress and worry that we expected, we were able to be free of our old place even before the first payment was due on the new! Absolutely blown away at our good fortune in meeting these two!

ZillowVERIFIEDJason and his wife, Kristin, work closely together and are a dynamic duo! They began working with us a full year before we purchased a home; showing us around Portland neighborhoods and even helping us find a rental so that we could take our time in finding just the right permanent place. We especially appreciated both their knowledge and their honesty as we explored different options. They back up their advice with solid research so clients can make informed decisions based on market value and long-term projections. They also make you feel like you are their only client--dropping everything to show a house or answer a question about a property. In addition to all of this, they also never forget to make the home-buying process FUN! This is the team that you'll want for buying or selling a home in Portland.

ZillowVERIFIEDI contacted Jason and Kristin after finding them on their brokers website, and they agreed to meet via video call. What was supposed to be a first interview ended up being our last, as we were immediately taken by their warmth, knowledge of Portland, and infectious energy. From the first day of touring homes (also our last), to making an offer, through negotiations, and getting keys, we were well-supported and worry-free. They maintain a solid network of vendors and service providers aEUR" everyone they referred was professional and did excellent work. Were proud to call Jason and Kristen friends, and as long as were in Portland, they are our agents. Were grateful for their huge role in getting us into the home of our dreams.

ZillowVERIFIEDCHOICE As a former Real Estate agent, I feel I have a good sense of what attributes make a good agent. I interviewed 4 agents to sell my house. Kristin and Jason (K&J) were by far the best presentation. Sure, I know what goes into selling a house, but for me, it was a measurement of who was going to put for the most effort. EFFORT is probably the #1 attribute in my opinion. K&J showed up early, were very well prepared, had already accomplished market research and comparative analysis before our meeting (which they then updated after seeing my house in person). They were respectful of my time but were also thorough in explaining their process. There wasnt a close second. They followed up after our meeting as promised with an updated analysis and recommendations for pricing and listing. It was an easy choice. PRICING K&J clearly did an extensive market analysis to help me price my home. As a former agent, I know that its imperative to let the professionals pick the pricing strategy to get the home sold quickly and at the highest price. I didnt want to tie their hands with my pre-conceived notions. They showed me multiple comparisons and provided an in-depth breakdown of the pluses and minuses versus my home. It was an extra step that gave me confidence that we had the right price. COMMUNICATION Kristin and Jason were kind enough from the beginning to ask me what type(s) of communication I preferred and stuck to that throughout the transaction. They communicated every step and regularly asked for my feedback. This is one of their greatest strengths! I felt like their only client the entire time and never felt like they didnt have time for me. Even when they went on vacation for a family birthday party while I was getting the house ready for sale they still checked in to make sure everything was going well. This level of attention continued throughout the transaction and they never missed a beat. HOUSE PREP Kristin and Jason did a thorough walk-through of my house. I asked them for recommendations on what to fix/update before the sale. They were very respectful and offered logical, intelligent fixes that I could accomplish in my time frame. I truly believe those items helped sell the house in 6 days! They even helped me find a contractor to do some of the work that I couldnt. MARKETING Another strength of this team. You truly never know where your buyer is going to come from. When I was in the industry, I saw most real estate agents cut corners or just market for the initial launch of the listing. As they promised in their interview, they did EVERYTHING to market this house. Social Media, their agent networks, open houses, door knocking, you name it. I believe this had a significant impact on us getting the right buyer so quickly. PAPERWORK This can often be a pain, especially when agents dont know the required documents and the timing thats involved to eliminate mistakes and rework. K&J made sure the paperwork was correct the first time (even found mistakes in the other agents paperwork), and made signing everything a smooth process. I finished this transaction out-of-state and they didnt miss a beat. I was able to sign everything (except closing documents that require a notary) electronically, which made everything easy. CLOSING K&J didnt let off the gas until the day of closing. Many agents try to sail after the negotiations are over with, but these two continued proactive communication throughout and made sure the other agencies involved (title) fulfilled their duties properly and on time. They had the same care on the last day of the deal as they did during our interview! Its nearly impossible to find that dedication in Real Estate. I could have sold this By Owner and saved on the commission they earned. I'm happy to say that they more than earned their commission on this sale and that there is ZERO CHANCE I would have been able to accomplish all the work that they did by myself. Its pretty easy to become a real estate agent. The barriers to entry are extremely low. A few hundred bucks and a test and youre there. That makes it very difficult to find agents that care and will work the entire time. From my experience, most dont put in the effort or dont know what theyre doing in one facet or another. I'm very pleased that I found Kristin and Jason, and I promise that youll be happy too if you choose them.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe will be Friends! Jason and Kristen his wife were immediately people we enjoyed hanging out with and talking to. They have a great variety of backgrounds behind them both personally and professionally that makes them easy to get along with. My wife and I met with multiple possible agents before deciding to go with Jason and Kristen. One of the main driving forces behind our choice was the amount of involvement we were offered in the process. We specifically loved being walked through the entire process as if we were in a class learning about RealEstate Buying. This was our first home purchase and we enjoyed the learnin's that we were given throughout each stage. Jason was always willing to step back and give us understandable answers to the questions we had or quickly get us information to help us understand more thoroughly. Jason specifically was very communicative through text and email for anything we requested of him. When it came time to negotiate a better price after some things were discovered during inspection, I felt very solid with the advice Jason gave us on how to approach the negotiations. In the end we ended up paying less than asking and even got the seller to cover half of the costs of the repairs found during the inspection. We highly recommend them to anyone wanting to be involved in each step of the process in buying or selling a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe loved working with Jason! He is both very professional and extremely likable and friendly. We really enjoyed touring homes with him and were impressed by his great communication. This was our first home purchase and Jason walked us through the process in a way that allowed us to feel like we were in control and knew exactly what to expect each step of the way. With Jason's help, my husband and I are now in our first home, a beautiful mid century in close in Portland. Jason definitely went above and beyond for us and we are happy to consider him and his wife + business partner, Kristin, friends. We can't wait to have them over for our house warming party this summer!

ZillowVERIFIEDKristin and Jason were amazing and guided us through the stressful process of both selling our old home and buying our new one simultaneously. They were there every step of the way, giving advice and explaining everything as many times as we needed. Their communication is wonderful, and they responded quickly to every question we had. It meant so much to us to have their expertise and support during this process. We are now happily settled into our beautiful new home and are eternally grateful to have had them as our agents.

ZillowVERIFIEDJason and Kristin are an amazing team that made our first home buying experience easy and enjoyable! They alleviated any doubts or stress by providing thorough information on the Portland market and requirements/expectations of the buyers. Jason really listened and understood all our family needs, and was very diligent in finding the right house for us. Both Jason and Kristin worked together to stay on a fast, smooth timeline, and always had our best interest during contract negotiations. We found our forever home within two weeks, and even closed a week early! My husband and I are very grateful for all the effort that Jason and Kristin put in throughout the home buying process. We highly recommend them!

ZillowVERIFIEDKristin and her husband Jason are a wonderful team. They are very knowledgeable about the Portland market and take the time to educate their buyers every step of the way. Kristin was always on top of deadlines and was happy to help me take the time find the perfect home. I would work with these two again in a heartbeat!
