Real Estate in Portland Oregon

I got lucky finding Martin by chance when calling to inquire about a particular home listing on Zillow. Being from out of state, I couldn’t drive by homes on my own. He took the time to walk me through the house on a virtual tour (even into the crawl space!). Although I did not go for that house, it gave me a better idea of what I should be looking for. I found another home I loved online. With very short notice, Martin set me up with a tour and a great loan company to work with. He had an offer on the house for me within a couple days. Unfortunately, we lost to a ridiculous all-cash offer, but nonetheless I was very impressed by Martin’s knowledge, agility and work ethic. Couple weeks later I came back to Portland with a list of houses to view…again with very little notice. Martin set up tours for all these on a Saturday plus a home he picked out for me in an area I hadn’t considered. Martin knows how to read between the lines in home listings – and he knows Portland and the surrounding areas well. All the homes I chose were unimpressive in-person. The home he picked was a winner. I had come across the listing earlier, but disregarded it because of poor photos. Martin saw potential and hidden equity and knew that I would love the area. He expertly guided the negotiation process from the initial offer through numerous difficult inspections and final agreement. This saved me thousands off the asking price. The seller was EXTREMELY challenging and the closing process was delayed due to Covid and back-up in the loan industry. He navigated it all! Martin got me a great deal on a great house!! I highly recommend Martin Tijmes for your next home buying adventure!

Martin was extremely responsive and helpful. He was able to get us an amazing deal on our new home and was with us on every step of the process. Martin was able to negotiate not only an awesome home warranty but also repairs. He was found a home for us that checked all the boxes!

Martin Tijmes aka Rowdy Martin.. could not have been more happy to have him on my side when purchasing a home. He was always available and supportive in obtaining any information needed regarding the home, such as prior repairs, installations etc. He negotiated with the seller on items of concern. Martin was supportive during the loan process. If you know anyone looking for a home to purchase, send them his way!

Very friendly, honest, responsible, accountable and great negotiator. During the home inspection home issues where reported and he negotiated with the seller to correct all of the problems. Yupiii. The most important thing for us was honesty and accountability and Martin delivered.

Martin, after visiting us in our cramped, dark Seattle apartment, gave us some great advice that prompted us to start looking for a home of our own. Although he was not our main agent, because we are not in his local market, he gave us fantastic Real Estate agent and financing contacts in our area. He stayed in contact with us throughout the process and provided us with great advice that helped keep us on track to getting our house. Definitely recommend Martin.
