Blake Ellis

Blake Ellis is extremely knowledgable about Portland neighborhoods, incredibly warm and personable, and dedicated to finding the perfect home for each of his buyers. When my family decided to move to Portland from out of state, Blake did everything he could to make the process as stress-free as possible. From FaceTime house tours to clearing his schedule for a week while my family was in town, Blake listened to our needs and provided a level of flexibility that allowed us to feel confident in our decision once we put in an offer on our house. His passion for the history of Portland was evident in the knowledge and insight he provided when we toured older homes. This was very helpful to us as we reviewed disclosures, as he was able to tell us what is normal for older homes and what is a red flag. I recommend Blake to anyone looking to have an exceptional experience buying a home in Portland.

Blake Ellis sold my home in record time at a record price. Before we listed the house he was very thorough in helping me price it at a level that would move. I would like to add that Blakes marketing skills are quite fantastic. In conclusion, Blake was extremely excellent to work with and the consummate professional. He returned emails very quickly and is a great communicator. If you are looking to work with the best there is then look not further than Blake Ellis. I highly recommend him.

Blake was top notch. We were flying in from across the country and our son and wife from China to have a real estate speed dating weekend to find a condo. In preparation he asked many questions to determine our interest, sent us links to view properties and was ready upon our arrival to take us to areas and condominiums. On the Saturday, he took us to see many others and Sunday a second look at the three top condos. By Monday when we fly home, we had a P+S signed. He grew up in Portland and knows Portland in detail. We were struck by his honest forthright guidance. He gave us frank assessments of the areas and also let us know right away if there were any possible pitfalls with condo complexes. He negotiated with the seller for us. He arranged for the inspection. He found and connected us with someone to install hardwoods to replace carpet. In addition, he has a great amount of flexibility and humor. He also keyed into our tastes in short order. We have worked with realtors in many areas of the country and Blake surpasses all. I wouldnt use another realtor in Portland!

Blake combines a unique blend of fun and expertise. It was a blast to spend time and search with Blakeand we knew we could count on him to know a lot of the unspoken details and backstories about buildings in downtown Portland. Id work with Blake again in a second. Thanks for a great experience!
