It was such a pleasure working with John and Neil on purchasing my home, I could not have asked for a better experience! They were always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had and were extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. They truly have your best interest in mind when trying to buy a property and will do everything they can to get a deal done. John and Neil are also great guys and make the whole process from starting the search to getting the keys as painless as it can be. I couldn't recommend them more!

John and Neil are the best, we feel lucky to have met them. Such a knowledgeable team, and we learned so much in the process. These guys truly want the best for you. I didn’t know realtors like this exist.

John helped us find the perfect home

John helped us find the perfect home. I feel he really had our best interest in mind. He offered creative solutions for finding us a home and knew how to navigate the field well when it came time to buy. He works with a small team that gave him a lot of ability to support our needs. He’s real and personable which made working with him a pleasure.

My partner and I stepped into the house buying arena with little to no experience and little to no r

My partner and I stepped into the house buying arena with little to no experience and little to no research beyond the cursory online market searches. As with anything in life, if you don't have a firm grasp on what you're doing, you hire a professional to educate, inform and assure you in your decision making process. John and his team are professionals all the way. Beyond being professionals, they are professionals that I trusted 100% of the way through the home buying process. I don't trust easily and I'm very critical of the people that work for/with me. John was frank when needed, informative when needed and reassuring when needed. He took us on tours through different neighborhoods, didn't push us towards anything and when we found something we liked, he jumped into action right away. He made well-informed decisions and kept us in the loop every step of the way. He was more informative and had a greater attention to detail than our loan officer, which was critical at several junctures. He knows construction and can see through a lot of the quick fixes people slap together to get a house on the market. At the end of the day, you need to know that the person you've hired is going to go to bat for you when it counts, and not try to force something through to make a quick buck. John is that guy. If you're looking for a realtor, call John McKay first; save yourself the time and headache.

I HIGHLY recommend John McKay and Mark Olsen for your real estate needs; they are smart and hard working professionals. Mark went out of his way to ensure that every step of buying my "project" home was accomplished with the least amount of stress possible. His comprehensive list of trade professionals assured that quotes and lender required repairs were done on time and on budget. Mark is extremely tuned into to the needs of his clients and is genuinely focused on helping them find the perfect home. I am so thankful for people like Mark Olsen and the John McKay team.

I have known John for nearly ten years and he's a pretty wonderful human and turns out a dang good realtor. We had the privilege of working with Mark and John on the purchase of our new home and I can't recommend them highly enough. They really listen to what you are looking for, NEVER try to upsell you - these guys legitimately want you to get into the best home for you and your family. Their team is incredibly communicative, friendly, and professional. I had the pleasure of touring multiple homes with Mark and I was impressed by how knowledgeable he was on the details and updates in each house - it felt like I was having a mini-inspection on each visit which gave me a better sense of homes I was interested in pursuing or to bin. Eventually, I found my dream house and their team made it happen! Typing this review from my new home as of two weeks ago. Couldn't be happier with the experience.

We worked with both Mark and John to sell our home in Beaverton

We worked with both Mark and John to sell our home in Beaverton

We worked with both Mark and John to sell our home in Beaverton. They are very knowledgeable about the market and research your specific area to make sure they target the right buyers. They were very honest and upfront with info and strategy - I never felt they were being gimmicky or overselling their services. Both clearly answered any questions we had, responded very quickly to calls or emails, and stuck to the timeline of when we wanted to sell. When we needed to make updates and repairs before showing the house, they had great recommendations for contractors/services and helped us with contacting them. The open house they had was very successful. They were great throughout the entire process - from getting the house ready to sell all the way through final inspection and closing papers. Their hard work paid off for all of us.

When it was time for our family to sell our home in Portland, Oregon, we made sure to talk to a few

When it was time for our family to sell our home in Portland, Oregon, we made sure to talk to a few realtors to make sure we were getting the right one. When John McKay came to our house to make his case, we knew we had found our realtor. John came very prepared with a detailed analysis of how much he believed our home should list for and why. Naturally, as the sellers, we had our own hopes for what our home would sell for, and John provided insight into the most reasonable/probable outcome. He also detailed his marketing strategy for selling the home in order to ensure that our home was being targeted to interested buyers who had recently missed out on homes that had recently gone pending. John was always very prompt in responding to any questions or concerns we had, no matter that day or time. And most importantly, when a problem arose during our inspection, he helped the buyers to stay on board and for the house to still be negotiated and sold timely. John has a reputation for being the best realtor in Foster-Powell for a reason, and I'm sure that he is every bit as strong throughout Portland. I would highly recommend John if you are considering buying or selling your home.
