Best Realtor or Real Estate Agent in Portland
It's really hard to say who's the "Best". It's said that 10% of Real Estate Agents do 90% of the business. I think the point this makes is that "experience" is what counts. Look at closed transactions. Look at inventory. Check out their website. Are they "techy"? Who cares if I have been in business 30 years if I cant even hardly send an email. It's a new day and a new generation of home buyers. It is said that 84% of home buyers find their new home online. As my Marine Corps Drill Instructor said... "Improvise, adapt, and overcome". Here's what I think you should ask to start:
- How many homes have you sold in the last 6 months (today's market condtions)?
- How many were Sellers? Or Buyers? (find their specialty).
- What kind of Marketing do you do? (they should have a marketing plan in writing to send You).
- Do You have a website? (is it out dated?)
Believe it or not this question (Who's the Best Realtor in Portland) comes up a lot and I feel that when you are buying or selling one of the largest investments you have then you should take the time to ask the right questions and choose the best Realtor for you.
COSTS
Buyers - FREE - A Buyer's Specialist should provide all the home finding resources at no cost - the seller pays your Agent's fee. DON'T sign a buyer's contract. If they're that good they won't trap you.
Sellers - A good Listing Specialist will charge 5%-6% commission on the final sales price and is traditional. Discount Brokerages offer cheaper rates but can cost you time and money if not paired with an experienced Broker.
How to Start Interviewing Agents
- Find three Agents
- Clear three hours from your schedule
- Set one interview for each agent (an hour is usually good)
What NOT to do on the interview
- Don't sign a contract
- Don't commit to anything
- Don't agree to work with them
Next
Tell them all that you will sleep on the decision and decide in the Morning. Call all of them back whether or not you chose them (although this is hard to do.. They will be very grateful).
About Me
My name is Aaron Majors. A Listing Specialist in Portland, OR. I started in Real Estate in 2003. I closed 18 deals my first year and the rest is history. I am now a Principal Broker at M Realty and have several state of the art Real Estate Websites. I came to Portland after serving in the U.S. Marine Corps Infantry and soon found a passion for Real Estate. This fueled my drive to be one of the best Realtors in Portland. Success is never final, and I still strive to learn more and be on the edge of the best Real Estate practices.

My Thoughts
I think there are a lot of good agents in a lot of different companies. Some homes are easy to sell and may have no issues at all. Some homes have issues and need an experienced agent to know how to deal with them. I feel like the housing crisis and slowing home sales have forced a lot of Agents out of business. Not that they weren't good but that they fell victim to the economy. You can choose whoever you want for your agent but this is why you choose one of the best agents:
- Higher Sales Price
- Helps protect you from legal issues
- Can address all your needs with confidence
