Our primary mission is to net you the highest return for your Portland home. We take pride in positioning your Portland home beautifully in the digital space and in print. Marketing is something we take seriously.
Buying with us guarantees you a unique collaboration whereby we work together to achieve your goals. In a tight Portland market, in times that seem a touch uncertain, it does pay to work with a Portland brokerage who has seen a thing or two, a Portland brokerage who when things get heated, get competitive, that they can rise to the occasion and negotiate strongly on your behalf. This is our currency. Purposeful, direct, professional representation. No lip service! We have the patience to weed through the continued sea of housing mediocrity in Portland knowing full well through decades of experience that the right home in Portland is worth waiting (and fighting) for. There will be peaks and valleys. It’s a process for sure. Let’s get to the promised land together. It will be worth it!
We worked with Lance Marrs when we first moved to Portland and bought our home. Being a Portland local, Lance knew every neighborhood (in the city and the suburbs) and helped us navigate which area would be fitting for our family and needs. After viewing a few properties together, he was able to hone in on exactly what we were looking for and found us the perfect house. Because he is so well-connected in the area, he was able to leverage his relationship with the listing agent to ensure a smooth escrow process and help us find trusted vendors for inspections, etc. The process was pleasant and fun, and we were so grateful for his guidance.
Lance and Team led us through our Portland home sale. Considerations in choosing Lance were his knowledge of our neighborhood, his keen focus on an aligned strategy, frequent and precise communication, and his "can-do attitude. The stresses of the home sale were reduced when we saw how the team organized their plans and critical details. We have moved multiple times and know that strategic agents with excellent communication skills are not easy to find. We made the right choice in Lance.
Lance gets it. He understands that real estate is individual and personal. Lance listens as he leads, both uncovering and organizing the objectives of the deal. It's Lance's innate ability to navigate the nuance and still maintain perspective that makes him special. At every step, Lance and his team deliver to the highest professional standards, but it's Lance's respect for the many dimensions of real estate that make it so valuable to work with him.
We first met Lance almost 20 years ago when he was representing our new neighbors next door. Over the years, we stayed in touch, so when we decided to start looking for a new house, we immediately thought of Lance. He's so good at being able to connect and get to know you, as well as your likes and dislikes. We always felt that he was looking out for our best interests and wasn't there to just make a sale. He'll tell you if he thinks the house isn't the right one for you, and when to be patient and keep looking. And when you find the right one, he'll push you to go for it. He's a skilled negotiator, and we trusted his judgement for every step of our home buying + selling journey. And bonus, he's fun to tour homes and hang out with!
Lance got us our dream home. He was always available to talk and share his insights throughout the process. He was invaluable during negotiations with the sellers, and made sure we received professional quotes on any updates/repairs so we knew the reality of what we were getting into. We highly recommend him!
We highly recommend Portland Modern Rentals for your property management needs. Our relationship with PMR originally extended from our experience with Lance on the real estate side of Portland Modern. Having used other property managers in the past, with mixed results, we were excited to engage PMR for our newly acquired single family investment property. As always, Lance's marketing game is on point, leading to a steady flow of prospective tenants and ultimately the placement of a highly-qualified tenant. In terms of ongoing management, Lance and Jack are both highly skilled with balancing the needs of the owner with the experience of the tenant. In our experience, this has led to a win-win situation for all: a happy tenant and a stable return on our investment.
