Happy Buyer - Brian W., Portland, Oregon

"I am so glad Rachel Tolle was my realtor for my home purchase. Being a first time home buyer, I often felt stressed about the process, but Rachel helped me through every step with her knowledge and professionalism. As an out-of-state buyer, Rachel was there for me to meet with vendors on my behalf, and negotiated a great deal for me in these crazy times. There were many times where she brought something to my attention that I would have never even thought of, that saved me time and money in the long run. She went above and beyond in all aspects of this home buying process, and I couldn't have asked for anything more! I fully recommend Rachel for anyone buying or selling a home in Portland."

"Rachael was absolutely wonderful to work with and completely professional the entire time. She has this peaceful presence about her that made it so easy to sell our house. She also advised us extremely well and we made 100K more than I thought we would!"

"From the beginning I was aware I would need a realtor with "uncommon skills" to handle this "project". I carefully read through the profiles of quite a few agents in Portland and hers stood out in my mind because of her experience and background in "project management". Upon interviewing her I felt like she also conveyed commitment and dependability and I had no doubt Rachel was the right choice.

This transaction involved the listing and sale of an estate property belonging to a dear deceased family member. It had deferred maintenance, possibly more than one addition and had gone through quite a few changes in the 100 years it has been in existence. The original "ice box" was still sitting in the basement crawl space gave us some idea of it's former character.

Rachel (personally) helped us with clean up and disposition of many items, all during the worst pandemic in modern history. She oversaw and worked with numerous inspectors and tradespeople and performed VITAL tasks just in readying this property to market.

Then, Rachel masterfully managed the staging, photography and creation of a marketing campaign that elevated the look and feel of this 100 year old home to a point several levels beyond what I thought possible. This resulted in multiple offers, well above asking price and in the end a successful closing with all the T's crossed and i's dotted!!

But that's not all. The property went into escrow 3 times before it finally closed on the third try. This was due to various unforeseen and difficult property related issues that required skillful handling to resolve and Rachel led the way in resolving them. Rachel never wavered, never faltered and continued to do all the necessary things to bring this to a  successful close. Rachel did so many important tasks that were way above the scope of normal activity for a realtor. I knew this likely to happen so at the time we listed I told her I wanted to pay her a higher than usual commission.

I'm so happy to have chosen her for this monumental task. She was the perfect person for the job!! I know many real estate agents in fact I am agent myself in California (since 1984). Rachel really set the bar high and gave me a lesson in customer service that I will carry into my own practice as an agent.

Thank you Rachel Tolle, you are THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!"
