Portland Real Estate Agent- Why Potential Homebuyers Should Join Us On July 14 by Paul Campbell

What is going on in the Portland market? If you said that it was hot, you would think the same as lot of other people in the area. But, I am afraid to say that that is not necessarily the case. Although the lower price points remain competitive, that is not the trend for all. To find out more about this, watch my short video.

Inventory is extremely low in Portland, which means that bidding wars are fairly common. Many of our clients have told us that they don’t want to get into a bidding war. I understand that bidding wars can be intimidating, but just because there are multiple offers on a property doesn’t mean you have to overpay for it. Bidding wars can be subjective. To see what I mean, watch this short video.

"I was very happy. I worked with Caralee, and she worked hard to stick to my rigid budget. She got me in the house I wanted and stayed within my price range. She even stayed with me late at night putting in a counter offer on my home, when she didn't have to. She did a great job!"- Monty Foust http://stellarrealtynw.blogspot.com/ Stellar Realty Northwest 5530 SW Kelly Ave Portland, OR 97239 (503) 265-8153 Info@StellarNW.com

"We purchased a home and sold a home with Stellar Realty. I worked with Caralee Angell, and she is just amazing! We bought our new home, moved, and sold our previous home. In buying our new home, we knew what we were trying to find, but Caralee really listened to our unspoken needs. She could tell when we were in love with a house and when we weren't. We almost talked ourselves into buying a house that we wouldn't of been as great as the one we eventually found. We ended up spending less money for a better house, in a better location, because Caralee really listened to us. She was always in our corner and acted as an advocate for us! In selling our previous home, Caralee provided great advise for what we should and shouldn't fix before selling. In fact, there was one repair that needed to be done in our garage, and Caralee's dad actually came over to fix it! She gave us great advice on how to price our home and it sold in no time!" - Kathy Stevens http://stellarrealtynw.blogspot.com/ Stellar Realty Northwest 5530 SW Kelly Ave Portland, OR 97239 (503) 265-8153 Info@StellarNW.com

http://stellarrealtynw.blogspot.com/ (The whole experience exceeded my expectations. Our agent was so caring and she really listened to what we wanted. She always kept us informed of what was going on and kept checking in with me. The result was that we got the house that was exactly what we were looking for!)

http://stellarrealtynw.blogspot.com/ (I was looking at properties online and I found one that was listed with Stellar Realty so I inquired about it. I was put in contact with someone else at Stellar Realty and then that property we were interested in sold so we got handed over to the Realtor I have been working with. We had found a house and it closed within 30 days so we were pretty happy! Our Realtor had really good communication and great connections. They really get results! I’d highly recommend them!)

http://stellarrealtynw.blogspot.com/ (My situation was unique because we were relocating from Alaska, where we had been for 32 years, to Oregon, a state that we had never even visited. I needed to find a real estate agent that I could trust since I was not going to be in state for the process. I had started getting on websites to look at places so I had emailed a few Realtors and my Realtor at Stellar Realty was the first to respond. We had talked back and forth several times and I could just tell that he was genuine human being and he was there to help me. He was fantastic! We’re currently working with another Realtor for my house in Alaska and there is no comparison. I’ve had some issues with my Alaskan Realtor where I have had to make some corrections on forms and things that really should be a real estate agent doing them. I know I don’t have to worry with my Realtor at Stellar Realty, he was just a friend throughout the process as well as an agent. I have visited once and we looked at a couple locations and during that time he got to know who I was, what I was looking for, and what my family liked. He asked questions at each house to see what we liked and didn’t like about each of them so he could get an idea of what we wanted because he knew that he’d be on his own until we found a place. I had told him 5 or 6 things that we needed to have in the house and the place we ended up buying had every single feature plus some! The house ended up closing within 3 days and he had to rush over to check it over and then over the weekend we had to put in a bid. He was just always there for us. If I ever had a questions, he would get back to us within 20 minutes which I really appreciated. He got us the deal that allowed us to get this beautiful home in a wonderful location and we couldn’t be happier with the way everything turned out. I would definitely recommend him. I felt comfortable being twenty five hundred miles away in the process of renovating a house I had for sale while packing a moving van without having a nervous breakdown. I went through the worst scenario and it was just a pleasure to work with Stellar Realty!) Stellar Realty NW Serving Greater Portland & Tri-County Areas Info@StellarNW.com

http://stellarrealtynw.blogspot.com/ (I had been looking online for some places and I had contacted a few Realtors in the process. My Realtor at Stellar Realty was one of the few that got back to me in a short amount of time and he was the most efficient out of the others that I talked to. I’ve had experience with other Realtors and I have to say that my experience with Stellar Realty was much nicer and he was more fun to work with. The first Realtor I ever worked with tried to sell us a crappy house and screw us over. This was not the case with Stellar Realty! He was honest and he told us how he saw it. It was really nice to work with someone like that. We were really impressed with how he handled our short time frame, he got everything that we needed within one week! We definitely appreciated how quickly he got everything done. Stellar Realty can get it done for you and we’d highly recommend them!)

http://stellarrealtynw.blogspot.com/ (I have a friend that is a Realtor for Stellar Realty so when I was on the market to sell, I went straight to them. The Realtors at Stellar Realty are very professional and have excellent communication. It was such an easy transaction! My home was on the market for 3 days and I got asking price for it! I’ve had experience working with other Realtors and Stellar Realty definitely did a better job. They are so reliable and I can’t speak enough about how prompt their communication is! I would absolutely refer them to anyone!) Stellar Realty NW Serving Greater Portland & Tri-County Areas Phone: (503) 427-9233 Marshall@StellarNW.com

Visit our blog if you have any questions: http://stellarrealtynw.blogspot.com/ “They really did me right, they had the biggest website in the area so anyone looking to buy or sell a house really know them. There wasn’t any BS and they were very straightforward. It was just dudes doing their job. I would definitely recommend them”

Visit our blog if you have any questions: http://stellarrealtynw.blogspot.com/ “They had great service and attention to detail. They really went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of. Buying a home is a very difficult thing especially when you don’t know anything about it. They really went above and beyond to make me feel like I wasn’t being taken advantage of and we were getting good value. We had a realtor previous and Scott really just blew it out of the water. I would be very comfortable using him again to buy a home or sell a home, he would be the only person I would go to. My previous realtor wasn’t very organized and wasn’t willing to put the work in herself. Scott was very helpful and I felt like we had more of a partnership and he’d actually get us resources and put in the time. I would highly recommend them to anyone and he really became a personal friend”

Visit our blog if you have any questions: http://stellarrealtynw.blogspot.com/ “We worked with the same agent when we bought and sold our home and he was outstanding with being there when we needed him and helping us with anything we needed. Their website came up when I did an online search and their interactive map on their website came up and I really loved it being able to look at properties online. They contacted me after seeing I created an account. I’ve already referred two friends to them and I know that they were very happy with the services that he provided them”

They got us a great value out of the house we were selling. They were great listeners to everything that we needed. They achieved everything that we wanted through the process. We got the maximum value of what we wanted out of the house! I would definitely refer Stellar Realty!"
