Harlan found me the house I wanted in 3 days! I was up here from L.A. just to see what all was in the area and what I could get... read more for my money. Harlan knew the areas and the houses in them, so that weekend we looked and I bought. I was very at ease with Harlan from the get go and felt that he had my interests at heart. Plus, I had never had to do the mortgage thing and he was right there with the people to contact (who, by the way, were wonderful). I am grateful to Harlan for making this first time buy so easy.

Working with Harlan to purchase my home was a great experience! He really cares about his clients' wants and works hard to find the perfect property. This was my first... read more home purchase and learned a ton of invaluable information from Harlan about the buying experience and Portland housing market. We ended up getting an offer accepted on a very competitive listing, and were very successful in our favor through negotiations. I feel jaded that the home buying process was this easy. He is a true professional and extremely competent! I'd recommend to anyone.

Harlan is a guy you want working for you. He is tenacious, responsive, transparent, fast, and of course, experienced with all things real estate. He has an uncanny sense... read more for what a property will sell for. We once walked a place that was just listed for $650k, within minutes he was like "this will sell for $750". We didn't place an offer as it wasn't the one for us, but I checked ~6 weeks later and sure enough it had sold $100k over asking at exactly $750k. Similar things happened several other times. He knows when something will go fast and what terms it'll take to get a deal done. He's also well connected...pretty much every time we engaged with another party he had had some previous experience with the other agent. Highly recommended!
