We can’t say enough good things about Troy and his team! As sellers with a 2.5% VA assumable loan, we needed a real estate agent who worked with veterans and knew the ins and outs of the assumption process. Troy’s marketing and pricing expertise helped us secure a full price offer within a week from an enthusiastic buyer who loved our condo and wanted to assume our loan. Throughout the sales process, Troy and his hand-picked team of experts handled all phases of the assumption and title process. He kept us in the loop every step of the way, resulting in the easiest, most stress-free home sale we’ve ever had. The icing on the cake is learning that our buyer is genuinely excited about starting a new chapter with his family in his new home. We gave Troy a five star review, but honestly? Five stars aren’t nearly enough!!! He’s that good. Wayne and Holly Paige
Buyer of 3730 SE 64th Ave, Portland
As an LGBTQ+ couple using a VA loan, we were pretty nervous stepping into the housing market for the very first time. We honestly weren't sure what kind of reception we would get or how complicated the VA home loan process would turn out to be. From our very first conversation, Troy completely put those worries to rest. He is genuinely warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and made what is usually the most stressful part of the process actually fun. Whether we were touring houses, putting together competitive offers, or going over inspections results, he kept our spirits high and walked us through every single detail ensuring that we knew exactly what we were potentially getting into. If you want someone who has your back completely and makes buying a home an absolute breeze, Troy is your guy!!

If you're conscientious about being an informed buyer or seller, Troy will make sure that happens. In spite of his appearance, he's been around long enough to have acquired a thorough knowledge of the Oregon and Washington real estate markets. In addition, he doesn't sleep. He is always available, and will share pertinent and timely knowledge with you at any time (unless you restrict his hours). And he's well connected on the internet with numerous marketing subscriptions to ensure your property gets broad exposure if you're a seller, or expansive choices for you to consider if you're a buyer. Troy has handled several property transactions for my family and me, and will be the "go to" guy for any more.

Seller of 139 SE Curtis Dr, Multnomah County
As soon as we realized we were going to have to sell our house, we contacted Michelle. We had a great experience with her as our agent when we bought our house. She toured the house and provided great suggestions for quick renovations and staging ideas. We were on a tight timeline and began to get antsy. She reminded us to be patient, that, "We only get one opportunity to list this house. We want the house to be perfect." Her staging and patience advice were spot on. We accepted a full-price offer one week after the listing went live. Michelle was very communicative throughout the entire process, ensuring we were updated when necessary. She was always available to answer any questions we had. She made what could have been a very stressful event smooth. We will continue to recommend Michelle to anyone we know looking to buy/sell a house in East County. Michelle was outstanding.
Buyer of 1461 Southwest Edgefield Meadows Terrace, Troutdale
I truly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make the entire experience smooth, fair, and successful. As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous about all the contracts and paperwork, but she took the time to walk through everything with me line by line. That meant so much—I always understood exactly what I was signing and what to expect next. Because of her guidance, I now feel confident and empowered for the future if I ever decide to sell. Her communication was phenomenal. She stayed in constant contact, keeping me updated every step of the way and making sure I always knew what was happening and what I needed to do. I never felt out of the loop. On top of all that, she was an incredible cheerleader. She believed in me, supported me, and never once made me feel like I was less than—especially as a single woman working with a smaller budget. That kind of encouragement and respect meant everything to me. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. Michelle is truly the best!

It had been many years since our last purchase. Paula was extremely knowledgeable, always communicating and keeping us up on any issues. Never once did we need to call for updates. She was always the first one to call. So attentive, we felt like we were her only client. We did have issues come up in the inspection. There were repairs that needed to be addressed. I have never worked with a negotiator as capable as Paula. I feel more like we made a family friend, rather than just hired a realtor. I definitely can’t recommend her high enough. I’ll not use anyone else.
Seller of 1841 NE 149th Ave, Portland
It was an emotional time for me. I was faced with selling my sisters home after her death. As one of two trustees we asked Paula to help. We were not able to be in Portland for the process. I Iive in Texas and the other trustee Iives.in Wyoming. All of our communication was handed by phone. Paula advised us as to things needing to be done to get the most value. We followed her advice and received more than was expected. Paula was sensitive to my feelings, professional and knowledgeable. She was a real blessing to us and I would highly recommend her to anyone that asked.
As one of two trustees for my sister after her death Paula was a blessing . She walked us through the process of preparing a rental duplex for selling. The property had been rented by the same people for over 20 years. There were a lot of repair and cosmetic work to be done. Since I live in Texas and the other trustee lives in Wyoming all communication had to be handled by phone. Paula advised us and did a lot of the leg work for us. With her help we received more for the property then we expected to. She was a blessing to us.
