April was referred to us by the company I work for when I relocated from the UK to Portland. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Every step of the process was handled excellently. In initial meetings she helped us figure out the areas we should look at, and the type of house. We changed our minds a lot at first but this did not diminish her enthusiasm one bit. Being born and bred in Portland her local knowledge is as good as it gets. April explained the complicated sales process to us very clearly (as we are from the UK) and was able to quickly answer the many questions we had. Her responsiveness was also always quick, even though she was heavily pregnant through our purchase! The most obvious thing about April is that she cares about her clients and wants the best for them. The sheer amount of effort she put in for us made that apparent. Her friendly personality and empathy through a really stressful procedure helps the buyer a lot. But it also makes her a great negotiator (see more below). We purchased a foreclosed home from a bank. This process was really long and painful - but April was on had every step of the way. Even though the house was sold "as is" she negotiated the bank to do many repairs, and when one of those (fairly significant) repairs were found to be inadequate she made them do it over! Also, due to the long purchase process our lender tried to charge us for going past our guaranteed lock in period for our loan. Again, April managed to speak to them and they waived the fee. If you are looking to buy a house in Portland, you'd be foolish not to consider April.
