Testimonials for Portland Real Estate Cafe and Bob Broad

"Bob was excellent, period. I interviewed 6 different agents from various real estate agencies (Remax, Coldwell Banker, Keller Williams, etc) and Bob was the clear standout. Even at our very first meeting, his level of preparedness and marketing ideas was impressive. At our first meeting, his interview with me, he had several angles and ideas on how to best market my house in this tough house-selling time. Most impressive was that his ideas were not just the "same old" ideas: put your posting on RMLS, put up a sign with pretty fliers, hold one open house. He had several creative and unique ideas that I only heard from him. 

Additionally, I enjoyed the fact that he listened to me and my needs for selling my home. I was very close to going into short sale and every other agent I interviewed refused to believe that ANY house in today's market--especially in North Portland, where my house was--could possibly sell at fair market value. Bob was willing to work with me and come up with creative ideas to make sure my house was sold at fair market value, not a short sale, to protect my credit.

At all times during the selling process, I was reassured to know that I had Bob in my corner. We spoke on a regular basis and changed our marketing strategy regularly based on feedback from house showings and my open houses. He didn't just list the house and let it sit. He was very active and responsive throughout the process which was helpful.

I would fully recommend Bob to anyone who needs a real estate agent. Please interview him and you will see right away why he will bring a level of professionalism, experience and creativity to your home selling process. Thanks Bob!" Niki Paulk

“My husband and I hired Bob to help us find a home for our growing family, and we couldn't have been more happy with his work. Not only was he a pleasure to engage with, but it took us quite awhile to find the right house and he was a great adviser throughout. We were never pressured to purchase the wrong house, he was great at weeding out homes that wouldn't work to save us time, and he had wonderful insight into what features to look for based on our particular needs. At one point, we even considered making an offer on a home, and Bob pointed out a few structural issues that we had not noticed. Thankfully, we waited, and we now live in the perfect family home. It was right in our price range, and we LOVE it! At the end of the day, I can't speak more highly of Bob. We also hired Bob to sell our old house, right as the market took a real tank. After a few months, we decided to rent it, as covering two mortgages was tough for us. Bob was incredibly supportive and helped us in every way he could to ensure the house was ready to rent. We went through more than one agent to find Bob, and I would hire him again in a second!” Top qualities: Great Results, High Integrity, CreativeLisa Morgan
