My Happy Clients

"This was the second transaction with Rakesh. He is knowledgeable about market conditions and the Portland metro area. I will absolutely make a third transaction with him. He cares about you making the right property choice for you and your situation. It is not just a transaction for him. He is by far the best agent I have worked with in my 26 years of buying and selling my homes."

He was able to leverage his network to quickly find us answers to all our questions and take the stress out of the process."

"I cannot recommend Rakesh highly enough. He is personable and friendly, knowledgeable of the market, and has many useful connections, both personal and professional. Don’t let his fun and bubbly personality fool you, he will fight for you tooth and nail to get you what you want. He will be your strongest advocate and your most trusted ally in buying your home. We entered the housing marking looking for a realtor, and left with a friend."
