My Happy Clients

"We cannot recommend Opt Real Estate highly enough -- especially Drew Coleman and Katie Henderson, who guided us through both the sale of our Portland home and the purchase of our new home in Vancouver, WA. Our situation had several unique circumstances. We were selling a home in one of Portland's most desirable neighborhoods during a slower housing market while also planning a move across the river. From the very beginning in September 2025 through closing this year, Drew was consistently by our side every step of the way. What we appreciated most about Drew was his honesty and professionalism. He never exaggerated the market, never overpromised, and was always a complete straight shooter. His feedback was direct, thoughtful, and grounded in real market insight. That level of transparency gave us tremendous confidence throughout the process. Thanks to his strategy and guidance, we ultimately sold our home at list price -- roughly $200,000 more than several other realtors believed was possible. That outcome speaks volumes about Drew's understanding of the market and his ability to position a home effectively. At the same time, Katie Henderson was incredible on the buying side. When one of the homes we were planning on purchasing unexpectedly fell through, she pivoted immediately. With the closing of our Portland home only about three weeks away, time was incredibly tight. Katie managed to arrange showings for five different homes with less than 12 hours' notice, helping us quickly regroup and keep momentum. One of those homes ended up being the perfect new home for us in Vancouver, and we couldn't be more grateful for her responsiveness and dedication. Through all of our questions, anxieties, excitement, and (admittedly) a bit of obsessive attention to detail, Drew and Katie were steady partners who treated us with patience, professionalism, and genuine care. Selling and buying a home at the same time can be incredibly stressful, but Opt Real Estate made the experience feel manageable and even enjoyable. We are deeply grateful to Drew, Katie, and the entire team at Opt Real Estate. If you want knowledgeable, honest professionals who truly advocate for their clients, you will be in excellent hands with them."

He made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. Most impressively, he treated us like royalty, going above and beyond to ensure we felt valued and well taken care of.

Michael Shedrack

"From day 1, Drew had a clearly defined and organized plan to quickly sell our house. He continuously updated us on actions taken and showings, and feedback. Even in a tough market and bad time of year, Drew sold our house near the top of the market. I wish I could give more stars. Of all the agents I've used, he is at the top of the list. Thank you again, Drew."
