What our clients say

“Kari and Erika make a great team! They are well-prepared and ready to handle any situation. They have been instrumental in helping us find our home, putting in a lot of effort to make it happen. My husband and I are Italians, so it was a "big deal" for us to buy a house, especially because we are always comparing Italian and US things, making mistakes along the way. Kari and Erika understood our situation and helped us find a home that met our needs. They guided us through every step, explaining everything thoroughly and always looking out for our best interests. Italians are typically skeptical, so are we, and my husband can be finicky, but Kari and Erika did an amazing job, making us feel secure in their hands. If we ever need to sell or buy a new house in the future, we will turn to them for help again. Definitely, if you're considering buying a house, I highly recommend them.”

“Erika is simply the best. We were living out of state and needed someone who would communicate timely and effectively. Erika was so on top of every part of the process. Anytime there was an issue or uncertainty, Erika had a list of possible solutions and talked is through all potential outcomes. Erika is so knowledgeable about everything. She has worked with different lenders, inspectors, and service providers and has an excellent reputation. She is so friendly and sweet. It felt like we were working with a great friend who truly wanted us to find the best house for our family. I enjoyed working with her so much I would love to hang out with her now that our house hunting is over.”

“Kari and Erica are super knowledgeable, easy to work with and truly the best realtors I have ever worked with!”

“Erika and Kari are just the best realtors in Portland. They listed and sold my house in less than a week at top dollar They knew every step from the day we signed the listing agreement to the moment the deal closed.”

“Wow! Erika and Kari are two of the most exceptional, professional, and knowledgeable folks in the business. There was never a moment where we didn't feel like they were 100% on top of helping us land our dream home. Erika is an expert communicator who kept us in the loop from day 1 through closing and beyond. Erika acted with urgency, navigated the offer and due diligence period with care and grace, and ultimately made this typically stressful process incredibly straightforward. Look no further.”

“Erika and Kari make a fantastic team. We have bought one house and sold two houses using their services. All transactions went very fast and smooth. I highly recommend them for any real estate needs.”

“We worked with Erika recently to buy our new home and had a great experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great real estate agent.”

“Kari & Erika were great to work with, always prompt on calling me back right away and were very supportive and encourraging in a difficult situation.”

“Kari & Erika shepherded us through buying our first home. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the Portland area housing market and the details of assessing potential homes during our tours. Working as a two person team, they were able to cover a huge range of tour times and get us in to see new listings as soon as they came on the market. We fully trusted their judgment and would absolutely work with them again in the future.”

“Erika George and Kari McGee: HouseLovePDX are a dream team, as are their people behind the scenes and associates in the construction world. Erika and Kari are extremely knowledgeable and approachable. They are easy to talk to and make every step of the selling process easy to understand. Very importantly, their years of experience shows, Erika and Kari answer any questions quickly and help find solutions to any glitches promptly. I can genuinely say that they made the whole process of selling our home stress free!”

“Kari and Erika are top of the line real estate agents. Cannot recommend highly enough! They helped us find and land an amazing home for less than list price despite the incredibly competitive Portland real estate market. Add to that, they were wonderful guides to the Portland area as we navigated purchasing our next home while living in a different state. They're both fun to work with, incredibly knowledgeable (taught us a lot about city planning and zoning during the house hunt), and communicated as a team through the search and contract period. They are not about a quick sell/buy. We were actually under contract to purchase a different home than the one we went with, and they advised us to not go through with it after really taking the time to understand our priorities and interpreting it in the context of the Portland real estate environment. As young home buyers, we are so glad we had their wisdom in this crazy process. We will definitely work with them again in the future.”

“Thank you for being the catalysts and facilitators and cheerleaders and all-around great people who made the sale a success. We couldn’t have asked for a better pair of realtors to work with. You kept us totally in the loop, thoroughly explained everything we needed to know, and were whizzes at preparing and sending us more DocuSigns than we ever expected to see in our lifetime! We will not hesitate to heartily recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in Portland in the future.”

“Kari and Erika are the dream team! We are experienced home sellers/buyers, but I can honestly say they helped show us (for the first time) the value of a good realtor! They asked us questions we didn't think of; provided their opinions without being pushy; and were incredibly patient and helpful in a shifting market. Buying with Kari and Erika was dependent on our home selling in another market, which meant we worked with two sets of realtors (coincidentally both teams of two realtors) and our experience with Kari and Erika showed us what value a team who communicates can bring to real estate transactions. We will be using them for all our home buying and selling needs and unequivocally recommend them for anyone who is considering buying or selling a home in Oregon. Thanks, Kari, and Erika!”

“This was my second time working with Kari and Erika, and I would choose them again and again. I am just so grateful for everything they do. I was selling a condo for my Mom's estate and they just made everything go so smoothly. The listing was very professional and the pictures were amazing. It really is worth it to choose realtors who are professionals and will exceed your expectations in all aspects, like Kari and Erika! They are an amazing team. I really cannot say enough good things about them. I wish I bought and sold houses more often just for extra chances to work with them.”

“I have bought, sold, and bought another house with Erika and Kari, and I cannot recommend them enough. With their tag-team approach, Erika and Kari provide amazing insight into the Portland market, expertise on all aspects of the buying and selling process, amazingly quick and responsive communication, and so many thoughtful, personal touches along the way. I feel like Erika and Kari really strive to match their clients with the perfect house, and they really understand and appreciate the human aspects of such a big life decision. I have and will continue to recommend Erika and Kari to anyone looking to buy or sell their house in Portland. Thanks, you two!”

“I inherited a house in Tigard and live 2400 miles away. Unfortunately the house required a variety of services to be ready to sell- from electrical issues to stained carpeting to landscaping needs. Kari was remarkable!! She had connections to make all the necessary repairs and upgrades, sent photos and videos of flooring samples to choose from, and of the work as it progressed. She made countless trips to the property to keep things on track, make color choices and even to water the bushes and flowers so the property would remain presentable. We could not have managed the property preparation without her. She made sure every detail was taken care of. Finally she had the house staged beautifully and insured that the photos were perfect. Her efforts drove up the selling price by $21,000! I have sold perhaps six properties in my lifetime and never experienced this level of energy and participation in a sale. Not even close. I would highly recommend Kari if you need a realtor in the Portland OR area.”

“Cody and I worked with Kari & Erika when we first set out to buy our first home in Portland, which was our first home purchase ever! We were a little anxious as most first time home buyers can be, but they were both so patient with us and helped us maneuver the waters, which led us to our cute little condo. Flash forward three years later: we're strongly considering selling our condo. Erika came by to answer questions we had about the aesthetics of our home, what buyers were looking for, where to put our remodel efforts etc., which was so very helpful. Not long after we sat down with Kari & Erika to discuss our plans to sell and get a clearer picture of what the current market was like. Again a very helpful discussion, one that led Cody and I to go for it, take the bull by the horns and remodel our condo to ready it for the market. Kari & Erika were there for us every step of the way, and though our little place was a modest one, they treated us with the utmost respect; we always felt like they had our back and were available! We would highly recommend Kari & Erika for buyers or sellers, we've been in both of these roles: these pros helped us reach our goals both times!"”

“It was a wonderful experience working with Kari and Erika. They really understood our family's needs and helped us to find our perfect house. They were amazing and shared some great resources with us. From the beginning they recommended an awesome mortgage broker; and during the inspection they had everything covered and all the resources readily available to help us. Their follow through and attention to detail is impeccable. We highly recommend Kari and Erika at Living Room Realty. Thank you!”

“After long deliberation and thought, my Mom decided to sell her home and move to easier digs in a senior community. Just as we got down to the business of clearing out her house to prepare it for selling, covid struck and everyone panicked a bit, not knowing what would happen with the market. Our fantastic, brilliant and amazing real estate agents absolutely hustled and made it happen. The sale closed and my mom still got a decent price. I have known real estate agent Kari McGee for over ten years and have now had the pleasure of also working with her business partner Erika. They are quite a team; they were super patient with my mom and at one point I had a lesson in electronic document signing via my first Zoom session with Kari! I can recommend these women utterly, wholeheartedly. Buying or selling, they will take good care of you”

“In all of our years of buying and selling homes (one dozen in fact) we have yet to meet anyone of Erika's caliber. We found Erika to be intelligent, quietly efficient, impeccably mannered, hardworking and strong in her straightforward approach to our house sale. Erika resolved tenant/property management issues, arranged preparatory home inspections and walkthroughs, coordinated minor condo repairs, and in the midst of all of this, found a buyer for the property in a matter of weeks. We remain grateful to Erika for her diligence and hard work throughout a stressful time for us, for her consistent professional manner, and for her great real estate knowledge.”

“We highly recommend using Kari McGee and Erika George for your home buying/selling needs. We can't thank them enough for finding us the perfect home in Portland. Having two agents is like two for the price of one! They are always available and will provide you with the best service. Kari and Erika's negotiating skills are also fantastic. We felt like we got more than we thought was possible during the inspection period. Do yourself a favor and hire Kari and Erika!”

“Being a first time home buyer, I was clueless about the home buying process. Erika and Kari are amazing, they're super responsive, honest and went above and beyond to make sure I fully understood everything. I would/will 1000% recommend them to anyone looking for a home!”

“Both Kari and Ericka are an excellent team. We love the two of them!”

“We had a great experience with Kari and Erika. They are very knowledgeable and caring. We felt they had our best interest at heart throughout the process. We highly recommend them!”

“Kari and Erika were so amazing at helping us navigate our first home buying experience. We started off nervous about the whole process but their expertise and guidance helped us tremendously in gaining trust in the process. Their advice and direction led us to get our amazing dream home! We are so grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a house in the area. Seriously, you can’t go wrong with Kari and Erika.”

“Kari and Erika are very good at what they do. There are many realtors out there and most times you get recommended from a friend or family of a realtor they heard was good. I hope you take into consideration my recommendation because these ladies are excellent. As a first time home buyer, they walked and explained every step of the home buying process. They are with you from the very beginning with finding a lender, to finding your home, encouraging you through closing, and are there for you after you have moved in. I was so very fortunate to have two experienced and lovely ladies to work with. I strongly encourage you to give them a call.”

“Very helpful especially navigating across state lines during a pandemic! Lots of helpful advice.”

“Always gracious with their time and very helpful in meeting our every need. They were always happy to go the extra mile to help us out for any reason, particularly since we were managing this move from a different state. Thank you so much!”

“Kari and Erika were incredibly helpful and responsive realtors. They went above and beyond in answering our questions, tailoring our home search to our needs, and investigating / resolving issues on our behalf. We heartily recommend them to our friends.”

“My wife and I had the pleasure of connecting with Kari and Erika while searching for an investment property in Portland. They guided us not only through market trends but also through zoning, permits, and property details. When we faced multiple offers, they provided solid support, helping us secure a great deal. If you're looking for experienced and genuinely caring agents, Kari and Erika fit the bill.”

“Kari and Erika are top-of-the-line real estate agents. Cannot recommend highly enough! They helped us find and land an amazing home for less than list price despite the incredibly competitive Portland real estate market. Add to that, they were wonderful guides to the Portland area as we navigated purchasing our next home while living in a different state.

As young home buyers, we are so glad we had their wisdom in this crazy process. We will definitely work with them again in the future.”

“Kari and Erika recently helped us purchase a new home, and we were very happy with the help they provided us. We wanted to downsize, and initially, our plan was to move in a few months or years, and they were willing to work with this long timeline. But then we decided to move sooner. They were patient and helped us navigate the stress of buying a house in a seller’s market. They were confident that we would find the right house, and they were right. We love our new house! With their help, making an offer, inspections, and closing, all went smoothly. We appreciated their support and advice throughout this process. We enthusiastically recommend Kari and Erika. They are professional, knowledgeable, ethical, friendly, and easy to work with. We would definitely use them again should the need arise to sell our house.”

“Kari and Erika helped us buy and sell our past two homes in 2014 and 2017. While we don't want to move again anytime soon, we would absolutely choose them again should we have the opportunity. They were well prepared on both the buy side and sell side and regularly provided quick, direct and helpful information throughout the entire process. They regularly went above and beyond reasonable expectations (how many other agents would bring their own vacuum to help you clean up *after* the place is sold and you've moved out? or get dinner for the family delivered to their office so we could find time to meet together?). Additionally, their network of service people from home inspection all the way through closing helped us get through the process as efficiently and professionally as possible. Selling and buying real estate is an expensive and emotional journey, but each time we've worked with Kari and Erika, we feel that we got incredible value and that they had our best interest in mind.”

“Kari and Erika have helped us buy and sell three houses. They are exceptional at what they do and brought fantastic outcomes (two homes sold well over list price and one home purchased in an extremely competitive market). They are fun to work with and helped us through financing, inspections, even unexpected repairs during a transaction when Kari shop vac'd glass from a broken window while we were out of town. This is an incredible team and one I know I will work with again!”

“Kari and Erika are an amazing team and highly recommended for any buyer, seller or doing both at the same time! Kari assisted us in buying our first home in 2007. She was so kind and honest and thorough that we remembered her fondly for 14 years! When we decided to sell and buy our second home, we knew we only wanted Kari McGee to help us. Kari and Erika provide generous knowledge, honesty and most of all a helping and caring hand to guide you through a sometimes stressful and confusion operation. Kari and Erika are an excellent resource for advice and will always lead you in the direction that works best for your sale and purchase.”

“It was comforting to have the professional real-estate team of Kari McGee and Erika George managing the Estate marketing and sale of my brother's house in Portland, while I, as Personal Representative, was living in Raleigh, N.C. The team selected subcontractors and managed scheduling of major house repairs, while I, from Raleigh, handled funding and compliance with Probate requirements. We made use of email, Zoom, and DocuSign to eliminate the need for me to travel by air during the time of Covid 19. I unconditionally recommend the Kari and Erika team for real-estate marketing. They autograph their work will Excellence.”

“Kari and Erika are a WONDERFUL team! Buying a house with them is seamless.”

“This review has been a long time coming. These ladies are awesome.”

“Kari and Erika are seriously the best real estate agents we've ever worked with. I could not recommend them more.”
