Step 3
Find the Ideal home or investment property that alligns with your goals

This isn’t about blindly chasing listings; it’s about strategic acquisition. We’ll start by drilling down into your specific investment goals or lifestyle needs.

Beyond the traditional listings, we’ll actively seek out off-market opportunities and ensure you’re among the first to view new properties. This proactive approach, combined with your newfound understanding of market value, puts you in a powerful position to secure the right property at the right price.

Nichole Joslyn
Harlan was absolutely wonderful to work with. My husband and I were relocating from out of state, and had less than 24 hours to look at properties. Harlan gave us suggested properties to tour and we researched several ourselves. Once we had houses picked out, he spent the day driving us all over town (quite literally all over Portland (SE, SW, NE, NW) to tour inside of the houses. He was efficient, and incredibly accommodating. Harlan is driven, up front, and a dedicated realtor. We had an offer submitted and accepted by 9pm that day. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him! I would work with him again in a heartbeat, and will be recommending him in the future.
JS Lewis
We loved working with Harlan. Even though we were out of state he made the process stress-free and easy. He sold our house the first day it was on the market. When that buyer backed out he told us not to fear, he'd sell it again. Sure enough less than a week later he had it sold to another buyer! He is friendly, knowledgeable, and always responsive to questions or concerns we had. He always made sure we felt comfortable and ensured every step of the process went as efficiently as possible. If you ever need to sell a home in the Portland area, he is your guy!
Rupa Jack
Harlan is a great realtor. He did a great job selling our condo. He met with us and gave clear and concise information and listed the property. He was conscientious and diligent in moving the property. He sold it in two days! We were very pleased with his efforts.
