"For being a first-time home buyer, this process can feel scary and overwhelming, but Chris helped walk me through each step, from beginning to end. Chris is personable, professional, and extremely responsive to any/all the question I had. I highly recommend Chris, he is the best!"

"Chris was recommended to me after he helped my sister and her partner find and buy their house. He was so thoughtful and thorough during the house-hunting process and he knows the value of the property, not just what it's listed for. He helped me avoid some less desirable properties as well as know what to look for pricewise in today's insane market. Not only did my sister get the first house she offered on, but I did as well, and it was solely because of Chris. He knows how to make both the buyers and the sellers happy to do business together and I wouldn't have the amazing home I'm in today without him. In addition to helping me find and successfully put an offer on my house, Chris helped me during the entire escrow process. My credit union had a lot of steps and different people for each step and Chris was my main point of contact in dealing with my credit union. He was always ready to answer any questions and available when needed. He clearly explained and prepared me for every step of the process, and it made everything so much easier with his assistance. If it weren't for Chris, I probably would still be looking for a house instead of writing this while I sit in my dream home. Thank you, Chris!"

"Chris helped us buy our first home in Portland, which for us seemed like an impossible task for our budget. We were prepared for months of searching and losing bidding wars, but it somehow ended up being a fun and exciting process. We immediately felt like we connected with Chris and that we could trust him to help us through this process. He allowed us to ask a million questions, text him odd hours of the day, and put into perspective the things that we should/shouldn't be focused on or concerned about. When we decided to put in an offer late in the evening, Chris kept working and made sure that we had everything signed and sent to the buyer ASAP. There were multiple offers, but Chris really took the scariness out of it, and he made sure that we felt good about our max offer and that we weren't pressured. He made us feel like we were his only buyers and that he always had our best interest at heart. He was the perfect balance of handholding and candidness, and we sincerely enjoyed our time together."

"Chris Hayes is the best real estate agent ever! He helps you understand the market you are interested in and really acts as a consultant rather than just an agent to transact the sale. Whether you are a first-time buyer or have bought and sold several homes, Chris treats you with respect and is able to work with you at your level. In our case, we were looking to buy a home and if he was not an advocate for us with the seller's agent, we would have never gotten the great home we have now. The seller had at least 17 other offers and Chris was able to convince the seller's agent to present our case to the seller in a manner that got the seller to select us. Also, Chris never failed us when we needed to take a look at a place or put in an offer. Chris always found a way to support us when we needed fast action. Finally, Chris manages the number of clients he will handle at any given time so that he can give you that personalized service you are looking for in an agent."
