Brian Porter is in my opinion one of the finest real estate agents in Portland. His support was invaluable during my home buying process as I sold one home and bought another. He is highly intelligent, flexible, hardworking, detail oriented, empathetic, experienced, conscientious and extremely knowledgeable. He guided me throughout the process in a highly supportive way. This is one of many examples. As I was getting ready to make a successful offer for a home in Overlook, my partner found another listing that day that looked “too good to be true.” As timing was critical, Brian volunteered out of the blue to do a showing that same evening. His reasoning was “I don’t want you to regret your decision.” The home was in fact too good to be true and we both agreed it was unacceptable given my goals and objectives. Brian worked closely with my loan agent. His communication was always timely, and I never felt in limbo at any point in the buying, negotiation and closing process. He will guide you on making a fair and competitive offer- not one that is inflated to simply increase the chances of a sale. What also stands out is that Brian gives you no sense that he “wants a sale.” He is professional and objective and gives insightful advice – allowing the buyer to make the best decision. He will advise you if he feels the home may not be a good match. One final example. On the day I got the house keys and assumed full ownership, I was running about 15 minutes late. I called Brian an hour before we were to meet to let him know I would be late. He was already at the property! When I asked him why- he said he didn’t want to be late. With all of this, Brian is also a very successful, respected agent with a solid reputation among his peers.

I found myself under water with my mortgage this past year and was facing the daunting inevitability of losing my home. Brian Porter stepped up for me and went above and beyond expectations in terms of navigating a very complex home modification program offered by the financial institution. Keep in mind that I was considering selling (short sale) which Brian was assisting me with, however when I found out I may be able to qualify for a home mod and save my house, Brian supported me one hundred percent. Despite the fact that this would mean no sales fee to be had, he continued to support me and met with me numerous times. He acted as my intermediary with the bank, and handled the business of submitting documents and supporting the process of striking this deal, ultimately allowing me to keep my home. I can't express how truly grateful I am for the unconditional support and professionalism with which he displayed throughout the process. Brian gets five star rating and then some!!!

Brian Porter goes beyond what you would expect from a Realtor, not only providing answers to all your questions, preparing you for each step in the process, and giving you a team of competent people who work on your behalf; but by also bestowing sincerely friendly words of wisdom, stress therapy, and hand holding--just when you really need it. He consistently gives you his time, checking in often, keeping you updated on all matters, promptly returning all of your calls, and talking you through all your concerns until he is certain that your mind is again (at least for the time being) at ease. Brian sold my condo during a downturn in the real estate market while I was living in another state. He was able to make me feel that everything was being managed with the highest standard. Here, finally, is a service provider who does not create extra stress and work for you, but actually makes buying or selling your home a relatively easy process. I recommend him highly.

Brian was a joy to work with. His knowledge of vendors assisted us in getting repairs done quickly. We live outside of Portland so he saved us time by letting the workers into our unit to make the necessary repairs and get our unit on the market. His professionalism and experience helped us understand the Portland real estate market. He shared his marketing plan and walked us through the selling process. He staged the unit and had a professional photographer take incredible pictures. Whenever someone visited our unit he shared their feedback and their overall impression of the unit. We trusted his instincts and recommendations, which eventually led us to selling our unit. He guided us through the negotiation process and as a result, we presented a successful counter offer that the buyer accepted! The process went so smoothly that we were able to close early! Thanks to Brian we sold our unit after a short time on the market. Thank you Brian!

In all my years of working on real estate deals, for both personal and business purposes, I would have to categorize Brian as being both the most professional and easiest to work with realtor I have encountered. He consistently demonstrated excellent knowledge of the investment neighborhoods we were looking at, and exhibited outstanding follow through. What was most gratifying is that this continued after the closing, to doing a variety of things I would classify as 'above and beyond' in helping me coordinate property management and repairs. Since I live in another state, this was incredibly helpful and reduced a lot of the stress associated with this type of transaction. I would recommend him without reservations.

I purchased my first house in July 2012, and I can't recommend Brian enough. His first priority was finding the perfect home for me. He never rushed me into purchasing anything; rather, he even talked me out of a few homes that I was interested in, that in retrospect would have been terrible choices for me. He also went above and beyond the call of duty in taking care of all of the details, and his dedication allowed me to close on the home two weeks early. Furthermore, everyone that he recommends, from inspectors, to contractors, to mortgage brokers, are honest and professional. Brian made buying a first home as objective and low stress as possible!

Brian Porter was instrumental in helping me understand the current real estate market trends and thoughtfully, but not invasively, advised me throughout the process. I believe that it is solely due to his expertise in the field, his supreme negotiation skills and talent, knowledge of the diverse areas of the city, and outstanding communication skills, that we were able to purchase the property we wanted even in the currently very competitive seller's market. I would highly recommend Brian and his team for selling or buying personal or investment properties!

Brian, A quick note to thank you for all the support during the purchase in Portland. It was very comforting knowing you were there seeing the project through from start to finish as buying a place from overseas is never easy. Your communication was excellent and follow through outstanding. As you know I run a major brand throughout Asia, I count on people every day to make things happen, so I know when a job is well done. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future please let me know. I would be happy to act as a reference. Best, MDD

Brian was excellent to work with in every way. Extremely knowledgeable, and dedicated, as first time home buyers he went above and beyond to help understand the process from start to finish. He was always responsive, encouraging and honest throughout the home buying process. Thanks to Brian working seamlessly with the lender, title company and sellers, we were able to efficiently close on a property with terms we felt more than comfortable with. Would absolutely work with Brian again and highly recommend his services.

Brian Porter has sold our condo and found us our dream home. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and patient while always going above and beyond to make sure you get the right house for you. Brian has also helped us through some difficult hurdles we encountered in our purchase, but stayed calm, found the answers and always delivered with clear and prompt communication. I would highly recommend working with Brian.

Brian just helped me buy my first home and he was wonderful to work with. He really knows the Portland market and was able to answer all my questions as well as give great advice to help me figure out what was the best area and home for me. He was also always very easy to get in touch with and quickly responded to all my requests. I highly recommend using Brian Porter to buy a home.

I highly recommend Brian as your realtor. He was very professional and helped me throughout all aspects of the sale of our duplex just recently. Brian was very attentive and a great communicator throughout the entire process. His many years of experience as a realtor have really equipped him to understand the entire process of closing on the sale of a property.

Brian went above and beyond in helping us get our first home in this crazy market. He patiently guided us through and explained the entire process, and made sure we always made informed decisions. He is highly knowledgeable, experienced, trustworthy, and kind. Brian and Amanda are wonderful to work with, and they will be our go-to for real estate services.

Thank you for being honest, professional, and following through on everything for us these last couple years. I has been a pleasure to work with you these past couple years. If you would like to make a friend while doing business, Brian is your agent! He truly cares about his clients and is a wonderful resource for all your real estate questions.

With rising interest rates I was concerned selling my income property was going to be difficult. Brian showed me how with proper marketing and representation, a sale was not only possible, but a reality. He didn't just sit back and wait for buyers, he hustled and put my property in front of other realtors he knew would bring qualified buyers.

We are grateful to have found Brian. We just bought our first house and couldn't be happier with how the process went. Brian did a marvelous job at guiding us and he made sure we got just what we wanted. I don't often leave reviews, but our experience was so exceptional that I couldn't help but share these words of affirmation.

I've been working with Brian as my primary broker for almost 7 years and have always enjoyed his insights, professionalism, and extreme care. He goes above and beyond to support his clients with a strong sense of urgency. Having gone through two purchases and a sale, Brian always ensures the process is fun and goes smoothly!

Brian and Amanda work together as a team to market and sell your home as if your home was the only important work that mattered to them. Their attention to detail and covering all the loose ends results in a smooth process that leaves little chance for the usual inevitable surprises that can creep up to derail the sale.

Brian kept me well informed throughout the buying process. He provided helpful guidance and very considerate hand holding on occasion! Brian helped me get the home at a very good price and had quality recommendations for various inspections. I highly recommend him for the home buying process.

We have used Brian for the purchase of three different homes over the past 10 years and we wouldn’t consider anyone else. He is professional, knowledgeable, and has never pressured us in to any decisions. He knows the entire area better than anyone I know.

My experience working with Brian Porter was fantastic. He was very prompt and moved quickly which is very important in the Portland RE market. More importantly, he was honest with his advice and council which is invaluable.

Brian is great. He was always willing to show us properties before we settled on our purchased property. Very professional, reliable, and knowledgeable about real estate. We will definitely use him again! Thank you!

My mother in-law sold the home that her and her husband lived in for the past 42 years. Brian was very patient with her, understanding the difficulties that she was going through. We'll recommend Brian to anyone!

Brian was wonderful to work with. He was prompt in answering our questions and concerns. He is very knowledgeable and made our home buying process go as smoothly as possible. So thankful we got to work with him!

Brian helped me find these properties years ago and identified some profitable investments for me, for the 3rd time (6 properties!) - great to work with and very profitable :-) Straight shooter

Brian is amazing to work with. Always even keeled with deep knowledge of his craft. I'll always use Brian for future real-estate deals in my life. If you've found Brian you're in great hands.

Your professionalism, attention to detail, experienced insight and prompt communications has been nothing short of excellent, and was much appreciated.

Brian was amazing and helped us so much. We would work with him again without second thought

Brian Porter went above & beyond the call of duty. Thank you for the wonderful service.
