FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Be open minded. Real estate is often about compromise and choosing what is most important to you. Focus on what you can afford (or want to afford) when looking at the complete package: loan payment, taxes, insurance, HOAs, etc of the individual property not just on published interest rates.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Every seller has unique goals and timeframes and we have been doing this long enough to be able to advise what projects should or should be done and even manage them. We'll even tell you if we don't think you should sell given your situation.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
We'd like to say we've seen it all but we know we haven't. We've listed and sold a home with chickens free ranging in the basement to a $4 million home on acreage and 2000+ homes in between.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
Every transaction is special in its own way. The most rewarding are the ones when the client didn't think something was possible but we were able to help them get there. A five star review is always great but the referral of friends and family is the true sign that we have been successful.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
Jenny got licensed in 1998 while working on a manufactured home lot. Clients often needed land to put their home on but she couldn't help so she got licensed to fill that need. She found home sales more interesting manufactured home sales and by 2003 was busy enough that Charles left a career in food service management to join her.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
Both Jenny and Charles have MBAs. Her's from Portland State University and his from Willamette University. Our team members have a wide variety of education and work backgrounds.

There is simply no one better than Jenny Turner. Both in selling my house and buying my new house, Jenny aligned herself with my goals and Jenny and her team went above and beyond in supporting me, communicating and walking me through the processes. I have complete trust in Jenny, she is passionate about the industry and it shows. Her knowledge and advice was solid and there is no way I would have gotten through the transactions or been successful in my sale and purchase with out her. She is simply the very best and I am so grateful!

Jenny was fantastic! Very knowledgeable, great in all aspects of the sale process. She helped us find and manage contractors to help get it ready to sell. She had good insights on the market strategy and was great in the deal negotiation. She was also very responsive anytime I had a question. I highly recommend her!

We are first time homebuyers, and could not have asked for a better realtor than Mikayla! She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and detail oriented. Most importantly, she made the entire process from start to finish exciting and as stress free as possible! We always felt well-informed and in the loop with every step of the process. Its also worth noting that we most definitely would not be in our current home right now if it was not for Mikaylas amazing skills during the offering period. There were multiple offers on the table, but Mikaylas charisma and communication with the sellers was the reason we came out on top. We really could not have done it without her! Mikayla and the staff at Lovejoy Turner Team are just fantastic and we cant wait to work with them again in the future.

We have truly enjoyed working with Eric in finding our new home. He was very helpful in all aspects of the home purchase. With Erics help, we were able to get all items completed as needed for the purchase and he kept us on track during the process, so we were able to close on time. I would highly recommend Eric and the Turner team to anyone looking for a realtor in the Portland area.

Mikayla was so warm and encouraging from the first time we spoke, and did a fantastic job feeling out what type of space I was looking for. She provided regular communication, checking in on how I was feeling throughout the home search, and sharing listings as soon as she found them. When we found a home I was interested in, she helped facilitate a visit right away, and helped me get to and from the showing during my lunch break. As a first-time buyer and someone who asks a whole lot of questions, I felt welcomed and heard throughout this whole process. I'd definitely recommend working with Mikayla and the Turner Team!

Super quick responses to everything. He was doing showings with me on video chat and was great at showing me around. He was exceptional at pointing out little things I might not notice on video as well as giving very honest opinions about how spaces felt actually being in them. Proactive at getting the floor plans to a house that wasn't finished being built yet and hadn't posted the plans or interior.

Todd was amazing! As a first time home buyer, I felt in over my head at the beginning but Todd was there at every step of the journey. His knowledge of the process really took a lot of the anxiety out of things, from the first viewing up through getting the keys. Todd and the rest of the Turner Team were very responsive to questions and easy to work with, I highly recommend letting Todd be your guide and advocate whether you're a first time buyer or on your fifth!

They were great to work with and very responsive and helpful with the process for us to sell. They created a beautiful listing online and allowed me copies of the pictures. They helped to work through some issues with easements and our condo association that are associated with selling.

I have used Jenny's services 3 times over the last few years. Once to sell a condo, once to buy a house, and once to sell a house. Each time I was thoroughly impressed by her knowledge and capability to negotiate and to navigate the processes. She took the time to listen and understand my needs. She doesn't sugar coat things, she keeps it real, which I found to be invaluable in helping me make decisions throughout the selling & buying process. She and her entire team are very helpful, professional, responsive, and friendly. When I am in the market again, Jenny & team will be my only choice, hands down. I cannot recommend them enough!
