     “It was such a joy to work with Alison - she's AWESOME!  As a first time home buyer, she took the time to understand my needs/wants and walked me through each step of the home buying process from touring to making an offer to closing.

    Her support and guidance made me feel very comfortable through the whole process.  She is organized, detail oriented and is on top of the Portland market!  Would highly recommend working with Alison if you are looking to buy or sell your home!”

    Alison is a sure thing. Not only is she smart and savvy, her client service is impeccable and gracious. Alison created helpful milestones that made the process of getting our home ready to sell easy.

    She helped us strategize the timing of our sale with her careful eye on the market, and we made far more than we anticipated. The whole thing felt like a dance and she never dropped us once!

    It has been such a joy working with Alison, she helped us buy our new house and sell our old house in what has been a real roller coaster of a housing market and interest rate environment. Alison and her team were incredibly responsive and highly organized and she was a thoughtful and effective strategist when it came to each transaction.

    Both transactions went unbelievably smoothly in large part due to Alison's ability to build excellent relationships with the other agents involved. Also Alison's experience in real estate combined with her own renovations experience made her incredibly observant when it comes to potential structural red flags. We have met and worked with quite a few agents over the years and none can compare to Alison. Highly recommend Alison if you are looking to buy or sell a house in the Portland area.

    Alison just helped our family sell our starter home, we got over market value for it and then she turned around and helped us buy our new dream home. Alison told us that she would be communicative and not drop the ball and let me just say she was on it from start to finish. Since I was new to home buying, she explained the terms so well for me. I learned a ton in the process.

    She was very professional, knowledgeable and also just such a genuine and likable person. We were lucky to have her and I will recommend her to anyone I know going forward in the home buying or selling process. Thank you Alison for making our dreams a reality and doing it so gracefully!

    Alison is the reason we successfully purchased a great home during the tightest market in Portland’s history (so far). As recent transplants, no less. She comes to the table with so much. Patience, initiative, follow-through, great communication, empathy, humor, amazing listening skills, creativity, and a genuine passion for negotiating.

    Like most folks trying to buy a house these days, we lost a few offers along the way. Alison never lost heart and never made us feel like we were wasting her time. After our offer was accepted she kept pushing things forward, including setting up inspections from various contractors and so much more. On top of all this she’s quite a pleasant human being.

    Don’t sleep on Alison. She’s the real deal.
