Sara Backus - Realtor, John L Scott Portland Central

We’ve done over 7 transactions with Sara since 2017! Working with her been an absolute dream. From the very first conversation, it was clear that she genuinely cares—not just about the transaction, but about you as a person. She's incredibly sweet, patient, and truly takes the time to understand your needs and goals-(even though my husband and mine were different). What really sets her apart is her ability to combine compassion with sharp business skills. She helped us navigate the entire process with ease and confidence, and thanks to her expertise, we received outstanding return on our property investment time after time. I never felt rushed or pressured, just supported every step of the way. If you're looking for someone who treats you like family and delivers results like a pro, Sara i

Sara is incredible! High energy go-getter. She goes beyond the call of duty. I felt like she was definitely looking out for my best interest. She was always very clear about the particular details of the house purchase I made. With all the chaos that is inherent to purchasing a house, she was definitely very patient with me when I had to ask the same question multiple times! Her knowledge of Portland is rich which was a great resource for me as a newcomer. Highly recommended!

We recently sold our home, and I can’t say enough good things about our real estate agent, Sara Backus. From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. What really stood out was how she handled a tough situation when the buyers started to back out of the deal late in the process. It was a stressful moment, but Sara remained calm and strategic, and she worked closely with the other agent to keep things on track. Thanks to her persistence and experience, the deal came back together and closed smoothly. Sara guided us every step of the way, offered great advice on pricing and presentation, and negotiated strongly on our behalf. We felt like we had a true advocate in our corner. If you’re buying or selling a home, I highly recommend Sara Backus. You’ll

When my wife and I came to Portland looking for a new house to buy, we encountered numerous real estate agents who seemed disinterested in helping us. Not so with Sara Backus—right away I felt the difference in her professionalism. From the moment we met her she was very energetic and enthusiastic about getting us our dream home. Also, she has good instincts. When we first stepped into our new house, Sara mentioned the intangible, but positive energy she was feeling in the house. I thought the exact same thing and appreciated her comment. It really helped a long way in deciding on our purchase. 👍🏻

My Realtor Sara Backus did an amazing job helping me find my home in Oregon. Sara is very Professional, knowledgeable and friendly she kept me up to date by sending me listings each week and contacting me on a regular basis. How it all started I was in California and wanted to relocate to Oregon where my daughter lives. That's where Sara came in she had the difficult task of finding me a house at the same time I was selling my home in California so that when my house sold I found a house to buy and move into at the same time. Sara performed this task and made it all happen for me just an incredible experience and I'm so grateful that it all worked out the way it did! I would recommend Sara as a highly qualified Realtor she goes out of her way to make things happen. Sincerely, Marisa Pist
