REX BUCHANAN

The house sold. We needed to keep a careful eye on how our house was described in the listing; several points were inaccurate or flat out wrong. The office staff and agent seemed indifferent and frankly irritated by our pointing out corrections that needed to be made.

Everything work out really good from the first date he start the advertising for the sale of the property till the close date, Rex was there to help on any questions I Have. thank you

It was great the realtor is helping find that just right property.

Rex worked til the wee hours on a weekend to get our offer submitted, and it was accepted over 11 other offers because we followed his strategic advice. He has excellent contacts in the PDX area that made our house buying in this seller's market a positive experience. He was honest and highly knowledgeable. We got the first house we put in an offer on, and the closing went smoothly due to his expertise and experience in the PDX area. He was on the ball with every detail of the process. We will definitely be calling Rex for any future Portland area realty needs and will continue to recommend him to friends. He was referred to us by a close friend who said he is one of the top Realtors in the Portland area. We can see why he is so popular with his clients.

My home-buying process went more smoothly than I could have imagined. Rex is professional, intuitive and supportive. I recommend him whenever I hear that someone is in the market for a house in this area.

Rex is easy to work with and was always available when I needed him. In order to make an offer on my ideal house, he must have stayed up much of the night preparing the paperwork so that I was ready to make the offer the next morning. Best of all, he knew how the bidding would go and advised me on the amount to offer, which got me the house (which was on the market and had 18 showings in only a day and a half...a very competitive market!) Rex's office set up all the necessary inspections and did all the paperwork promptly. It was a very smooth transaction, and I am so happy with my house!

Rex Buchanan was on top of the market and was in frequent contact with us regarding our search. He quickly learned what we were looking for and did not waste our time showing condos that did not fit our requirements. He found what we were looking for, negotiated a very fair purchase price and was helpful throughout the purchasing/financing process. Definitely a good agent to deal with.

Rex and the Portland Realty Team are professional and on top it! We met with Rex to assess the home and get tips and pointers about what improvements we could make to the house to get it ready for selling - he gave us a lots of helpful hints and tips that ultimately helped us make the house it's best before putting it on the market. He then did the research needed to come up with a competitive analysis of what the market would bear for our house and priced it appropriately. We put our house on the market and within a week, we had 7 offers! Rex helped us sort thru the details, benefits, and drawbacks of each and this helped us come to a a decision. During the pending period, we had a few things come up and Rex and his team were on top of each challenge, communicated with us immediately, and took action on our behalf. He was able to contact a reliable contractor for an estimate of repairs and gave us the two estimated so that we could decide. He was always easy to reach, consistently returned our calls, and always gave us the best of his knowledge and expertise in the real estate world. We've now used Rex 3 times and have been satisfied each and every time! If you're looking for someone who knows his stuff, call Rex! He's the best there is!

He made up something that to me sounded like a lie ,then handed me off to some one else whom also was pushy....well I found a wonderful agent and decided not to have Rex and his team help me......she sold my home in one day !!!! And what I was asking for plus more ......

Rex was friendly and showed us a few houses based on the (very rough) ideas we had given him. Since we ourselves did not quite know what we wanted and where we wanted to move to, his energy, and enthusiasm for the city and its houses was nice. He also showed quite a bit of knowledge of foundations etc. since he used to work as an architect. It's nice to find a real estate person with imagination.

iRex was great ! He gave me the contact info for Minnette Bush at John L. Scott Real Estate and told me if it didn't work out with her, that he would find another Realtor for me to work with. BTW, Minnette was GREAT and I purchased a property last Fall.

Rex and his team were a *dream* to work with. We came across Rex after my husband already had sold his house, when we found our dream house and wanted an A-1 negotiator on our side to help us make the best possible offers! He called in his amazing team of inspectors and subs to ensure the home we were making an offer on didn't have any sudden or hidden issues that wouldn't be addressed. We were able to work with Rex to review all his findings and to get his insight, which became invaluable. We were able to counter and buy our dream house at a significantly below asking price, but which was more in alignment with the neighborhood and economic trends/values. Rex does his homework and came prepared with trends and data to help us understand home values in the now and therefore to help us make a solid offer on our home. He give us long term insight from his years of experience and truly listened. When we had questions of concern, Rex listened and honored our feelings while also offering his many year's of experience insight. This made both of us feel heard and respected, no matter what the question was. Rex never made us feel like any question was dumb. Instead, he made us feel secure about our questions and then decisions. After buying our dream home in June, Rex then helped me to sell my old house in August. This past spring 2013 with the sudden rise in home prices and low inventory you can imagine the difficulty we had in setting just the right price for the home. My home had some unique qualities that could be hard to value (an over 180 degree view of the river, 2 mountains and east side) while wishing to still be competitive. Rex came up with a brilliant solution to help us discover the perfect sales price, which led to multiple offers and a closed home sale in just 2 month's time! He thinks outside of the box and isn't a cut and paste deal realtor. He tailored our deals specifically and uniquely to us. The best compliment we could give Rex is this: We wished we met you BEFORE my husband sold his house in March! We had a horrible experience with my husband's realtor, who only seemed to have her own best interests in mind when negotiating the home price and negotiating the inspection fixes. We felt she only wanted to close the deal to get her money. Rex is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE! He empowered us to feel an important part of the process and didn't try to push us to do anything we didn't feel good about doing. And in the end, we also had some fun together! We fully trusted Rex to recommend the BEST deals for us to benefit from. In the end, all I can say is HIRE REX NOW - TODAY! You won't be disappointed. I will keep recommending him to family and friends looking for a great realtor who will do his best to fetch his client the best deal, whether you are buying or selling, or like us, doing both in a few short months! THANK YOU REX! We felt like instant family for the months we worked so closely together. And your smart team, thank you for endless hours of detailed work to help us close the deals!!!

Rex is an amazing Real Estate agent. Transitioning from one home in Washington to another in Oregon was extremely stressful. Seemed like nothing was going according to schedule. While Rex could not handle things in Washington, he was on top of everything on the Oregon side. He made himself available whenever he was needed even AFTER the offer was accepted. His staff was extremely professional and efficient. I have never had such exceptional customer service!! I would definitely recommend Rex.

Rex and his team were worth every single penny that they earned. I know every situation is different, but in our case he timed it all just right so that we had cash buyers( full price) and never even had to officially list the property. I think he is exceptionally good at negotiating but I also want to emphasize how easy his team made the selling process. The majority of the documents were signed via DocuSign on my smart phone. When it came time for the negotiated home improvements, Andi arranged (with our permission of course) all of the contractors and the payment for their services. I always felt we were in good hands and found them very accessible any time I had questions about the selling process. I'm personally done with being a home owner but if I were to do it again, Rex would be my man.

Rex was very helpful, attentive, thorough, good listener, fast and treated us like family. We were very happy with our experience with him and will definitely use him again in the future.

Rex and his team were awesome! They were always available throughout our home buying process to answer the many questions we had. We bought a new construction house and some of our friends asked why we were using a real estate agent for the transaction when the builder was there to help us - they have all the forms, etc. We believed we still needed someone to guide us thru the process and we were right! There were so many things Rex pointed out and suggested to us for our protection that we wouldn't have done nor would the builder have been looking out for our best interest. When Rex had some vacation time scheduled during our transaction, he made sure to let us know in advance and to make sure his team and us were staying on track with our transaction and getting it done. Stephanie and Pam were amazing - they followed up with us on every single detail while Rex was away. I could not be happier with the level of professional service we received!

everything went as well as could be expected.

He was great. He identified my needs, and he was really good at connecting me with the right vendors and making everything happen within 48 hours. His resourcefulness and utilities were great. He had put my condo on the market and sold it within 48 hours.

Rex is an incredible real estate agent. Considering we didn't have a high budget we were worried that an agent might not really take care of us but Rex relieved all those fears. With how responsive, professional, and just flat out involved he was you'd have thought we were buying a million dollar house! I mean what agent goes and looks at two houses with you on his way to a Superbowl party? The best one, of course! When looking at homes, Rex's architectural background helped us to visualize the potential in homes, but he was conscious of us being first-time homebuyers and wanted to make sure we wouldn't get in over our head. I'm high maintenance and needed a lot of correspondence to figure out where things were and Rex was always available. He even managed a highly unprofessional and unkind selling agent, and shielded us from extra stress in our homebuying process. I've already referred my friends to him and I won't go to another agent here in Portland. Sorry Rex, for as long as you're here, you're stuck with us!

Rex met with me for more than 2 hours for an initial consult, during which time he carefully listened to my concerns and took copious notes. He and his team worked with me to procure the necessary stagers, handymen, etc. to get the condo in selling shape. Furthermore, Rex's architectural skills were a wonderful asset - as he proposed his own ideas for making the condo "pop" and stand out to sellers. He was able to articulate his ideas, suggest retail locations where I could buy needed items, and even draw schematics for handymen / electricians/ etc. to follow. Rex and his team were excellent with communication, prompt call / email follow-up, and efficiency.

Rex is a go-getter, a very good communicator, as well as extremely enthusiastic.

Rex was on it! He met me at the house immediately after I called him. He went through the whole house with me, suggested a house inspector to call, got the roof, electrical, and plumbing experts out, got the price down, and got the seller to pay all the closing costs! I was nervous and anxious and he was calm and cheerful and I really came to admire his expertise in all aspects of closing the deal.

I couldn't be happier with the service Rex provided. His negotiation skills were excellent, and like I mentioned above, we got buyers in a terrible market and were able to get almost exactly our asking price even after some serious problems were found in the inspection. Rex is a go-getter and he puts his all into a sale. More importantly, I knew I could trust him with looking out for my interests in one of the hugest, most nerve-wracking transactions I've ever dealt with. He was always available on the phone and willing to spend all kinds of time answering my questions, explaining the process, and when I asked for it, giving me great advice. I would never go with another real estate broker. Thanks Rex!

He represented the property owner. He is equal in dealing with both sides. He was very honest and clear and prompt with his answers. We were well represent from somebody who is represent the seller. Down to Earth guy. Not Pushy. very helpful with both sides.
