My Happy Clients

Rob DeRienzo, backed up by his excellent staff at OPT Real Estate, made our experience buying a house in West Linn enjoyable and quite successful. He is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is a good listener who quickly picks up on one’s tastes, goals, and everything else that is important in helping you find and buy the house of your dreams, which we did. We were simultaneously selling a house in California and buying in West Linn (the transactions closed within days of each other) so keeping on top of everything was extremely important. Rob QUICKLY responded to any text or email we sent no matter what time of day we sent it. He was very patient in explaining things in the numerous phone calls we had. If he didn’t know the answer to a question, he promised to get the answer quickly and he always did, sometimes within the hour. In looking for an agent, one should be looking for someone who is knowledgeable, a good listener and communicator, and pleasant to work with. Rob gets the highest rating from us in all these categories. I should had that after we bought the house Rob has spent a lot of time helping us handle the transition and arrange for things to be done to get the house ready for us to occupy, which has been so helpful since we are still in California. He is heavily invested in his clients.

We had the pleasure of working with Robert DeRienzo and his team to sell my parents’ home in Portland. Rob was very professional and honest. He was able to strike the perfect balance between providing guidance with phrases like “the market will tell us what the house is worth” and making sure that my parents’ wishes were met. And since I live in the East Coast, I especially appreciated how communicative and responsive he was even at 7AM in the morning (his time). Thank you Rob and team for everything!

Rob DeRienzo went above and beyong selling my home because he involved himself heavily with all repairs needed both before and during the sale of the home. He suggested excellent contrators for painting, carpeting, siding, etc and was there to let contractors in and to explain all repairs to prospective buyers. In addition, he sold my house quickly for a good price to a good buyer. This realtor is the best of the best.

Rob is very knowledgeable and helpful. We are not very computer savvy and he patiently helped us with all the documents. He was always prompt with appointments, is organized, explained who and when others would be involved such as the investigator and stager, photographer and others. We like his humor and relaxed attitude. We appreciated the whole team but especially Rob. We are glad to be done with this process and hope to never have to do this again but if our friends are looking for a realtor, we will recommend Rob. Lee and Mary Gingerich.

We felt that we were in very good hands with Rob. He had extensive knowledge of the area, and he was highly responsive with all communication. He listened and collaborated well with us, and offered very valuable insights about properties and the process. When negotiating he was very skilled, reasonable and effective. Overall we felt he went above and beyond and had all that we would hope for in an agent.
