“I cannot say enough good things about Kristine! She worked so incredibly hard to help us get our dream home and she made the experience so positive. This was our first time going through the home buying process. Kristine provided us with so much knowledge and insight, making us feel so reassured in our decision and the process. Thank you so much Kristine! You are the absolute best!"

Cullen

"Kristine, Amy and the entire team at Place PDX made the home buying process fast, easy and enjoyable (even during those inevitable times where it isn’t so enjoyable) Kristine and Amy are clear, honest and extremely knowledgeable about the greater Portland metro marketplace. They will fight long and hard in not only getting you in front of the best opportunities quickly, but will work round the clock to get you the best deals and seller upgrade concessions whenever possible. I would recommend them unconditionally for anyone who’s serious about making a home purchase the right way."

"I had an incredible experience working with Amy. She was so knowledgeable, genuine, kind, and patient. I live out of state and was purchasing a second home which can be difficult. Amy scouted properties matching my needs and catered the experience to fit the situation. Once finding the perfect place she went above and beyond with all communication, helped with inspections, and continued to follow up even after the transaction was completed. A normally very stressful process she made seamless. I can not thank her enough for all her time and effort and will continue to work with her in the future."

“My wife and I have used Place Portland to buy and sell 2 homes now. Amy and her team helped us to make smart choices when prepping our home for sale, which allowed us to sell quickly and made for a super smooth transition. They answered any questions promptly and communicated with us every step of the way so we always knew what to expect. They go above and beyond with their clients, which continues long after you’ve bought or sold your home. Amy and the Place Portland team truly are the best!"

steven
buyer

"Amy and the team at Place Portland were absolutely fantastic partners in the search for our first home, moving here from out of state. On top of the individual attention we received from Amy, while she was out of town she made sure Kristine met up with us to tour the house we ended up buying! Margo was also a rockstar with all the paperwork and took so much stress off our plate. It’s been almost a year now, and not only did they send over a copy of the Final Closing Statement in January to help with taxes, they regularly reach out to offer maintenance tips, support during adverse weather, and invites to a monthly Thirsty Thursday. You will not find a better team in Portland!"

"An absolutely amazing experience. As first time home owners during the peak of the pandemic, Amy and her team absolutely killed it ! Helped us come out on top with an affordable and smart choice! All while smiling and making us feel comfortable."

“Kristine was wonderful!! We were lucky to find her at the first house that we went to an open house. From that point forward, she was our realtor and she gave us a ton of great options to explore. Informed us as new Portlandians about parts of the city, things to do, etc. Once we made the offer she did whatever she could to get us a credit for a roof replacement, etc. While I hope this is our home for a long time, I would definitely go back to her for her services."

"Amy was fantastic to work with! The purchase of our home was a bit rocky and Amy was cool, calm, and had our back the whole way. We greatly appreciate her and her teams efforts of going above and beyond in helping us get into our dream home."

laura
Buyer

"My boyfriend and I had the tremendous pleasure of working with Kristine as our real estate agent for the purchase of our new home, and I must say, she was nothing short of amazing!

From the very beginning, Kristine’s warm personality and vibrant good vibes set the tone for a wonderful house-hunting experience. Her approachability and super friendly demeanor instantly made us feel at ease.

Kristine went above and beyond when it came to showing us a wide variety of properties. She dedicated numerous hours to driving us around, ensuring we saw all the options that fitted our preferences and needs. The patience and dedication she exhibited were unparalleled, and it allowed us to explore our choices without feeling rushed.

What truly set Kristine apart was her candor. She consistently gave us her honest opinions on every property we visited, which, in turn, helped us make informed decisions. Her insights were invaluable, and it gave us a sense of trust that is hard to come by.

I cannot recommend Kristine enough! If you're looking for a real estate agent who genuinely looks out for your best interests with a friendly and positive attitude, look no further. Kristine will guide you to your dream home with expertise, honesty, and joy.

Thank you, Kristine, for making what could have been a stressful journey into a delightful adventure!"

“Kristine is the best! She helped get my girlfriend and I a fantastic first home. As first time buyers we weren’t sure of the process/what to expect, but she was incredibly patient and helpful in answering all of our questions. She made the process easy and incredibly fun. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home. A truly kind, caring, and fun person to be around!"

"We could not have had a more positive experience than we had with Kristine and the Portland Place team! We were referred to Kristine through a friend and hit it right off. My husband and I were in a unique position of selling our property while living abroad. We needed to find someone we trusted to guide us and help take care of the little things we couldn’t. Kristine and the team made what could have been a difficult and stressful process easy to manage between time zones and comfort knowing the process was in good hands. We highly recommend Kristine and team for any purchasing or selling needs."

"Amy and her team helped me 4 years ago with a purchase, and just this year a sale. Both times were incredible. I felt supported the entire time, which is so so important when you go through these big life events. They really take care of you and when you need help they have amazing resources for just about everything you can think of. Both transactions were quick and seamless. This team and all of the people they connect you with feel like one big family. They really care and they are amazing at what they do. I'll be using them for all future purchases and sales. Can't recommend this team enough!"

"Amy and Margo are incredible! They are very professional yet down to earth, prioritizing client relationships over business. We always felt well taken care of throughout the selling process and our input was taken into consideration in true partnership fashion. Finally, we have to highlight Amy and Margo’s staging skills: We received so many compliments on how awesome our house looked - online and in person. It truly helped us maximize our sale price and drove traffic to our home. We highly recommend Amy and her Living Room Realty team to anyone needing help with buying or selling a home!"

"Amy and Margo did a fantastic job in selling my home. They came in thy knew what they were doing got things together. I didn’t have to do a thing they moved in and just did everything made everything easy on me. All I had to do was wait for the sale and the house sold the same week they had the open house. They kept me updated on things that were going on and things that they were doing so it’s very easy to work with them. They are wonderful , me updated on things that were going It’s very easy to work with them. They are wonderful people a very wonderful company to be in your corner. Thank you for all you done."

“Kristine, Margo, and Amy made selling our home and all of the details that go with that process super easy and smooth. You could not do better than this team of professionals. Not only are they a joy to work with, but they have a keen eye for the market and are extremely communicative and great at making things easy to understand. We love Place Portland!!"

morgan & Angela
Buyer

"This review is a few months late because, well, life happens. But that’s what sets Kristine apart from the pack. She understands that life can be crazy and meets you where you are with a strong sense of professionalism, pragmatism and above all else, personal care. Kristine CARES. She always wanted what was best for our family and through her negotiating skills, we got a great deal on our first home. It’s because of all the hard work that Kristine did that our future is secure, we have a wonderful family home and a secure investment in the future. As we all know, the home buying process is stressful, but having Kristine, Amy & Margo in our corner took away so much anxiety and I honestly can’t imagine going through the process again with anyone else. The combination of genuine personal touch & care coupled with experience, know-how and industry insight is simply unbeatable."

"Kristine was wonderful throughout the whole home buying process. Going above and beyond for the entirety of the complicated and stuff times confusing process. She answered questions, talked with us, multiple times, and was always positive and helpful."

kevin
buyer

“It can be hard to know where to begin when recommending Kristine and her team at Place. Kristine may be the most patient and kind human I’ve encountered to date. We looked at well over 50 homes together and her approach was measured, informed, and dedicated throughout. Kristine knows the market through and through but that’s likely the least of her merits. She’s a direct, honest communicator who genuinely cares about each and every person she works with. Together Kristine and I found the perfect home and the rest of the team (Amy, Margo) made the process a true pleasure."

morgan
Buyer

"Margo and Kristine were a pleasure to work with. They made solid recommendations based on the intake information we gave them. That found us checking out a range of homes within our price range that fit our needs, and eventually landed one in our dream neighborhood. As first-time homebuyers, we required a lot of hand-holding. Margo and Kristine did a great job walking us through everything we needed and kept us grounded in terms of expectations. They also did a great job at using their expertise to steer us away from things we thought we liked on first look, only to discover the mountain of issues we would've faced after putting in an offer. They did a great job looking out for our interests and even saved us money down the road. They were also very communicative and lived up to the "We offer a more intimate buying experience" mantra they spoke about at the onset. We were in constant contact, created a silly group chat, and managed to land a GREAT home we absolutely adore. I can't recommend them enough. Cheers!!"

Jenn
Buyer

"Kristine Orlandi and her entire team at Place Portland were incredible. They all worked together seamlessly to help us find and purchase our Portland home. It was a competitive and challenging market to be buying a home in but we never got discouraged because we had confidence in Kristine. It was even more challenging for us as we live in the South and had to rely on Kristine and team to take thorough and detailed videos for us. They were tireless! And sure enough, we purchased a lovely home that we are thrilled with! She is not only hardworking, patient, professional and organized but also optimistic ( which was very helpful in such a competitive market) and a delight to be around. We will definitely work with Kristine and her Place Portland team again for future real estate transactions in the Portland area. We will also highly recommend them to others without hesitation."

"I've worked with Amy Bloomer twice now. Both times she knocked it out of the park (hence why I worked with her a second time!). She got me a full asking offer in less than two weeks, walked me through everything. Her assistant Kristine was phenomenal as well. Highly recommended! I know I'll be calling her again when I'm ready to buy again. :)"

karen

"I'm a Realtor in MN. I needed help selling my sister's home in Portland and found Amy through some recommendations in a Realtor Facebook group. She was great about checking in every couple of weeks as we were working through legal & physical home preparations. She had recommended an outstanding company to help us get my sister relocated and to clear out the house. She & her assistant even went into the house before market and did a quick clean up before pictures. They helped make sure we had all the tools we needed to successfully sell including organizing title work, inspections, utilities and they worked fast to get the house sold once it was all ready to roll. The communication was prompt & effective. The team is ethical, well-educated, experienced and customer service-based. As a fellow Realtor, I would definitely recommend Place Portland!"

randee

“We received exceptional service and support from the Place Portland Team during our recent purchase of a home in Salem, OR. We so appreciate the before, during and after sale guidance we received from Amy and Margo. Purchasing a home, especially out-of-state, can be stressful at times, but the team was right on top of every step throughout the process and offered professional "coaching" at all times. We greatly appreciated the team's "going the extra mile" with lists of what to do next during the process keeping us on track, as well as the change of address and utilities checklists. WELL DONE!!!"

"The Place Portland team was an awesome partner for us in both buying and selling homes this year. Their communications are always clear, their style is friendly and accessible, and their guidance was always sound. Throughout the processes there were no moments of anxiety due wondering what they were doing or decisions to be made. They really were a great advisor to us and we are very happy with the outcome of both the selling and buying processes!"

"Very professional and fast responsive, Amy and Margo work is outstanding.

From the beginning of the search to the end of the process of purchasing our home here in Camas, WA the experience was very nice.

1 month after the purchase, Amy and Margo keep contacting me if everything is ok and if I need anything.

Highly recommended team!"

“Amy Bloomer and her team are very professional in their business conduct, friendly and easy to work with, smart in their analyses and suggestions, and have a shared goal-focus with clients. The firm brings expertise in the processes, including good negotiation skills that integrate market knowledge, openness to client perspectives, and honest communication. Their client services are timely and clearly communicated throughout the process. I never worried about how the relationship with the other party or their representatives were being managed by Amy. We are very pleased with the outcome of both buying and selling with The Place Portland. Recommended!"

"Dear Margo, Amy and Place Portland team,  Thank you for your hard work & dedication in getting our 130 year old home sold.  It was a challenge that took 7 months, but you never gave up. A 130 year old house has issues that together we got resolved.  Annette and I  highly recommend Amy Walsh and her Place Portland team."

"My partner and I bought our first home with Kristine Orlandi & Amy Bloomer from the Place Portland team. They were wonderfully helpful taking us through the home-buying process step-by-step and made us feel like there were no stupid questions or requests!! Amazing communication and wonderful people!"

andy

“The Place Portland team was awesome to work with. Very responsive, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire process of buying our house. An absolute life saver since we had no idea what the process was going to look like when we started.

Also really came through when we found a house we liked. Did a great job helping us set up a competitive offer that was in our price range. I'd heard horror stories from friends and colleagues about difficulties when they bought a house and I was surprised at how easy and smooth mine was. I think a big part of that is owed to Place Portland!"

“If anyone asked where to find a realtor, I would absolutely recommend Portland Place. We were lucky to work with Amy! In a very stressful situation, she answered all my questions and made me feel like we mattered to her. She helped us buy my first home and even after, she checked in on us!!"

"I cannot recommend working with Chad, Amy, and Kristine enough! This incredible team helped my husband and me buy our first condo a few years ago and when we were ready to buy a house, I didn't think twice about contacting Amy to help us through the buying & selling process. There is no way we would have been able to navigate that process in this tight housing market without her expertise! The whole team are all so helpful, knowledgeable, available, great negotiators - all of which worked in our favor! Loved working with them."

erin
seller

"Full Disclosure: I am a real estate agent. So when I was faced with selling my own home, I had a choice: do it myself/save on commission or pay a fellow realtor for the value they bring as a neutral third party. I made the decision to list my house with Place Portland and could not be happier with the results! Amy & Kristine were extremely professional the whole time and kept me at arm's length from the stress of an already stressful situation. Selling a home is stressful, being emotionally connected to that home makes it moreso. And what's more is, they made me more money than I would have made for myself. That's WHY you hire a realtor! To lessen the worry on yourself and make more money. I had no trouble paying them a commission for the value they brought to the table. Thanks Place Portland! Let's do it again! (not really, but you know what I mean)"

sarah
buyer

“Amy and Kristine at Place Portland are so stellar at what they do and made the whole process of buying our first home as stress-free as possible. They provided so much helpful guidance and insight throughout the process, which allowed us to compete against buyers with more capital and have our very first offer accepted in this extremely competitive market."

David
BUyer &
Seller

"I had been in the market for a rental or for a property to fix and flip for several months. Amy was a complete rockstar writing multiple offers that were rejected - barely missing out on some great opportunities. But she never wavered, was always optimistic, and tenacious.

She ultimately ended up finding me a completely remodeled triplex that will cash flow from Day 1. The appraisal came in low (don't even know how that happens in this market) and she went to work to make sure that I did not have to pay the entire difference, which was an accomplishment given that they had multiple back-up offers they could have chosen to go with.

All I can say is that I love, love love the whole team at Place Portland ... but Amy ... she is AWESOME! Will definitely be buying more investment properties with them!"

carrie

"2020: I started the year looking to make a move, had a realtor and was ready for when the right place came up. Instead, COVID-19 came up. November: I schedule to see a condo that popped up and met Ryan Lee from The Place Portland Team. I switched from my former realtor to Ryan and the Team and was so glad I did. Ryan & Kristine took the time to schedule the inspection and other appointments during the swirl of the holiday and pandemic season. We not only closed on time, but managed funding and signing in one day. Part of this success during wild times was on account of the team's proactive and responsive approach. Even with some minor issues after closing the team stayed with me to make the best move in the hardest time possible. Thanks more than you know!"

Erin

“Amy and Kristine are the absolute best. I was purchasing my first home and doing a new construction build that lasted over 6 months. I felt at ease with their expertise. I never felt dumb for asking questions, in fact, they would help me know what questions to ask! Absolutely recommend working with Place Portland, specifically Amy if you are buying or selling a home."

I am so thankful for their guidance."

"Gosh! What can I say about these two wonderful super women!! They have helped me from the time I listed my house til it closed , through the stressful process of finding me a new home to move into with such a short closing time frame. I couldn't have done it without Amy and Kristine. Every step of the way they were there for me, answering my questions, reminding me of dates and to do list. Such a great team! Such customer service!!"

tara

Seller

“Could not ask for a better experience with buying or selling a home. Chad helped us find the house in 2012 when pickings in our desired area were slim, and in 2020 Amy helped us sell it during a pandemic.

Both are down-to-earth, patient (I peppered them with questions via email, text, and phone calls on a relentless basis), and upfront about things, even when unforeseen issues kept cropping up (inspection-related problems, buyer delays, etc.).

Also, Amy and Chad are involved in the community which really sets them apart in my book. Getting invites to attend their events, say hi and check in on how everyone is doing even when you're not in the market to buy/sell property, feels like they're more invested in you as a person than simply a revenue stream.

I highly recommend this duo. Great people and trustworthy professionals."

debbie

"Chad, Amy and Kristine were so friendly and helpful!  Chad and Amy were very patient with us during our house search and were available at times that were convenient for us.  This was a very stressful time for us, and they did their best to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible.  In fact, this was the easiest buying experience we've had, and the last, as far as I'm concerned.  I would recommend Place Portland to anyone.  Thank you so much!"

"The Place Portland team made my first-time home buying experience a dream! Everything was thoroughly explained to me and the team was super attentive and supportive. They had my back every step of the way and got me into a home I love. Can't imagine a better group or people to work with!"

sean

“Chad and his team are really great to work with and I couldn't recommend them highly enough. They were able to help negotiate a great price for my house, and get the seller to agree to fix a lot of things as well. And they were very helpful with every step along the way. I've had bad some experiences with realtors before, so it just made me appreciate them that much more."

"We met Chad Draper after a disappointing meeting with another realtor & he was absolutely wonderful to work with!!! I really can't say enough great things about him and everyone at Place Portland! All of our nervous first time home buyer questions were answered with knowledge and ease and Chad was always available when we came up with something else to ask. He walked us through each step and provided recommendations on just about everything from inspections to contractors. My husband & I are now extremely happy homeowners and we definitely owe it to the Place Portland team!!"

Carissa

"Working with Chad Draper and the Place Portland was an excellent experience.  Chad made the process of buying our first home smooth and easy.  He was kind, communicative and helped us buy our dream home."

Margot Seller

“Chad Draper and the entire Place Portland team proved exceptional in every regard.  The sale of my quirky little house was given the same high caliber attention as a multi-million dollar listing.  Chad Draper is a realtor of sizable experience worthy of your trust.  He achieved the absolute highest price possible for my house in a changing market and his support (as well as the support of his team) during the entire duration of the process was unfailing and invaluable.  If you are looking to halve the stress of selling your home, entrust the process to Chad Draper and the Place Portland team."

mellisa
seller

"Chad really went above and beyond to sell my house. I didn't really have to do much at all. He took care of all the paperwork, appointments and even took my dog for a walk to get her out of the house during the inspection. He made the process very easy for me."

Jan
Seller

"Chad had done his homework on our area by the time we actually listed and knew the right things to have us do or not do to get the best price for our house.  He was there every step of the way.    We would not hesitate to recommend Chad or his team for anyone looking to buy/sell their home."

Ross Buyer & Seller

“My wife and I both sold and bought a home with the help of Chad and the Place Portland team in late 2016. Chad was very knowledgeable and provided sound advice on the market preparation for our old home. It was on the market for less than 1 full week, and we had multiple offers with every one of   them above our asking price. He continued to help throughout the sale with the various negotiation pieces, and that transaction went smoothly.  His team also assisted us in purchasing our now current house. With the Portland market that process was a bit more difficult than selling, but Chad and his team again helped make it as painless as possible. He was always checking in with us throughout to ensure that our comfort level was high and that our questions and concerns were addressed. I'd also like to mention that Dianna Hnatiw (team member) was fabulous in her assistance to us as well.  Even after living in our new home for a couple months, Chad continues to be a helpful resource to us. I would highly recommend him and his team if you are considering buying or selling a home."
