Testimonies

“Paul is a man of integrity and character whose wisdom is unequaled in the real estate market.”  Karen Russell

“Over the years I have purchased or sold several properties. I thought I knew what a professional, hardworking real estate broker was willing to provide until I began working with Paul Kerkar.  He has demonstrated an uncanny ability to fully understand the unique needs my property transactions require.  I know, without a shadow of doubt, that Paul is representing my interests.  In addition to feeling complete trust in his recommendations, he has a delightful yet grounded manner that helps to ease the wide array of emotions that come up during the property search and closing. I highly recommend Paul Kerkar. I plan to utilize his services for the rest of my life.” Josanne Stedmann

“Thanks very much for greatly assisting my wife and I in the sale of our home and acreage in the Newberg area followed by the purchase of a new home in the Beaverton area.  The enthusiasm and professionalism you maintained throughout the entire process was outstanding.  Our double transaction was complicated and not easy, but because of your attentiveness to details and willingness to ‘hang in there’ we are very pleased with the result. As I told you once, ‘You are my Realtor for life!’” Diana and Dennis Vincent

“My experience with Paul was so much better than I could have imagined.  You always hear negative comments about real estate brokers, but I have to say, Paul exceeded my expectations 10-fold.  He was willing to, and did show me homes at random times. Every time I called him, he answered his phone, and if I got voice mail; he returned it within minutes.  I literally felt like I was his only client, although I know he had many other deals going at the same time. He is honest, courteous, patient, timely, and overall a really great person.  I continue to recommend him to anyone I know in the market to buy.  Had it not been Paul as my agent, my experience would have been a lot less enjoyable.”Eryn Downes

“As a first time home buyer, Paul’s expertise was extremely helpful.” Ben Eder

“Paul was wonderful to work with.  He wasn’t intrusive or pushy… just thoughtful and savvy.  We were very pleased to learn that his practice was so progressive: he sent us in-depth email evaluations of properties in our region and price-range.  When we had trouble identifying some street addresses, he directed us to web sites with aerial views of properties.  That removed a lot of the leg-work we would have otherwise had to do. When we needed him to be, Paul was in touch regularly, and was always very friendly and courteous on the phone and in person.  He was able to guide us through the home-buying process very smoothly, and was always careful to make sure we knew what we were getting into.  All in all, we had a great experience with Paul, and would recommend him to anyone currently in the Portland real estate market.” Sandra J.

Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity. “Paul helped us buy our home in 2004. Paul was simply excellent. Starting with our initial contact, when he asked us insightful questions about the house we were really looking for, to the patience he showed as we went through our first home-buying experience, to the expertise and “bedside” manner which made us comfortable through the closing process. His use of the web in our house-hunting exceeded our expectations, and frankly, would have been enough to earn our recommendation. But his consistent, helpful follow-through and always cheerful demeanor put him over the top. I would absolutely hire Paul again for any residential or commercial real estate transaction.” Ajit Phadke

Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity. “Paul was a wonderful agent for my husband and me. I first met him four years ago when he helped my friend sell a house and get a new one after her divorce. He was so good that I thought of him immediately when we started looking for a house. He is very experienced and was good at sensing what met our needs and what didn’t. He also was very dedicated to getting us the RIGHT house, not just selling us a house and never pressured us to make an offer. He was very attentive to detail and spotted things that needed done to our prospective house before we did and looked after them. We have lived in our house a year now and it has been just what we wanted. I cannot recommend Paul highly enough and anyone I have referred to him has been very happy.” Mary-Beth Carnaghan
