Shelley Barr, Portland Realtor

Shelley was instrumental in my husband and I purchasing our dream house. We had stayed in touch in the three years since she helped us buy our first home and constantly felt cared for by her as she checked in on how we were doing. What makes her special is that she really sees and cares for you as a full person! 3 years into our first home, I realized that I really wanted to live closer in (location, location, location).

Shelley deserves WAY more than five stars. She was referred to us by friends who had also worked with her from out-of-state—as we needed to do—and I don't think the process could have or would have gone any smoother had we already been local! Shelley was quickly able to suss out our aesthetic and to notice patterns in listings we shared with her—we might have said "x" was a dealbreaker for us, but she'd gently point out when we kept sending her listings with "y". This helped us to better tailor our search and be more focused on what really mattered to us. Even still, Shelley went to see any and all listing that even slightly tickled our fancy and sent videos and opinions afterwards. As a first time homebuyer, I appreciated how responsive, informative, and approachable Shelley was—I never

Shelley was very attentive, proactive and thoughtful with our home search. We are first time home buyers from out of state and she made the process very easy and calmed our anxious minds throughout the process until we found our dream home. Highly recommended!!

Shelley was so helpful with helping us buy our first home. We were coming from out of state and she really made us feel comfortable with what we were looking at via video and giving good recommendations on potential opportunities for improvements and neighborhoods that could see growth. 10/10 experience, and have already recommended friends!
