“100% recommend to anyone buying or selling their home” – David Stein
We worked with Ross, Jim, and the Own It Northwest team to sell our starter home and buy our forever home. They are fantastic. Often, when buying or selling a home, you have that nagging feeling of "Are we really getting the best deal?" If you work with Ross and Jim, you won't have that feeling. Their expertise and unmatched negotiating skills made us confident we were getting the best possible deal. This was true both when we were the buyer and the seller. On top of that, they are there for you and easily reachable the entire time via text, email, phone, in person, whatever you prefer. 100% recommend to anyone buying or selling their home.
“Ross was calm and proactive in working through them” – Patrick Sherman
Ross and his team did a great job selling my house in SE Portland near Clinton/Division. Selling a house is an inherently stressful experience, and I really appreciated Ross's smart recommendations, responsiveness, and hustle in getting the house ready to sell on a pretty aggressive timeline during the peak of the season.
As with many real estate transactions, there were a couple of minor hiccups along the way, and Ross was calm and proactive in working through them. Kudos!
“He's a stellar person and realtor” – Janna Giesbrecht-McKee
Ross helped us buy our house in Foster Powell 7 years ago. He was so helpful in the search process, and since then, he has been available for all house-related questions--when there has been an issue with our AC or water heater, or roof, I have contacted him, and he has given me great recommendations for vendors who have also been super helpful, done quality work, and charged reasonable prices. He's a stellar person and realtor - highly recommend.
“Very professional, while still open and honest” – Kirill Taranenko
After moving to Portland, my partner and I had a very hard time finding the right place for us. We viewed over 20 different homes and made multiple offers through different realtors, but without any success.
Switching to Own It Northwest made a significant difference. Jim was fantastic. Very professional, while still open and honest. He told us how it is and provided tons of insights. We were able to secure our home very quickly. I will definitely be using them when I am ready to sell.
“We’re thankful we found them and wouldn’t consider using anyone else!” – Barbara Lybarger
We hired Ross Selligman and the Own it Northwest team when we sold a condo a couple of years ago. We’ve used several real estate agents over the years, and Ross and his team provided excellence of service and professionalism heads and shoulders above anyone we’ve worked with previously. We sold within 3 days, above asking price, with multiple offers. They are just so good! We’re thankful we found them and wouldn’t consider using anyone else! Highly recommend!
“Work with the best in the market” – Koichi Kurisu
Ross and his team helped me buy a house, and they were terrific - smart, organized, and hard working! They were recommended to me by a friend, and I’ve since recommended them to friends. Work with the best in the market - especially if you actually enjoy spending time with them!
“They made the process of buying a house smooth” – mmikeb32
Ross has been a realtor for many years, and his experience shows. He and his team are knowledgeable, responsive, and they made the process of buying a house smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend.
