TESTIMONIALS

Jeff and Kim Hemelstrand | Home Seller

My wife and I would like to express our ongoing gratitude and highest recommendation to Brent Barker, as he is an amazing realtor to work with. It was very clear from the start of working with Brent that we chose the right person to represent our home sale. Brent was amazing throughout the entire process, and we feel very fortunate and grateful to have had Brent represent us. Brent’s knowledge of real estate sales exceeded our expectations, and we give Brent Barker the highest rating as a true professional and leader in his field. We identify Brent’s qualities to include being a great leader, exhibiting honesty, professionalism, positive ethics, understanding, and hard worker and most important to us, Brent demonstrated excellence in business knowledge and proved to be dedicated to us as one of his valued clients. There was not one time during our real estate process that Brent did not have enough time to answer all our questions and provided us with extremely pertinent information pertaining to our home sale. Thank you, Brent, for doing such an amazing job! We truly appreciate you and the experience of excellence that you provided to us as clients. It was a true pleasure working with Brent and he has earned our respect and highest recommendations.

Matt and Sandie Ho | Home Buyer

We want to take this opportunity to thank Brent Barker for keeping the deal moving forward. Our transaction had many moving pieces, and Brent was key in making sure all the pieces fell into place at the right time. A successful closing wouldn’t have been possible without Brent’s level of experience, care, and priority for the seller; courtesy and consideration for the buyer.

Mark and Heidi Holm | Commercial Client

We can recommend Brent because he really did go above and beyond during our purchase of our current property. Our transaction was not a “typical” purchase in that it was a commercial property that we also planned to live in and we didn’t have our own agent since we sold our home independently through Zillow. So even though Brent was the Sellers agent – not ours he jumped right in to help us through dual representation. We had to qualify for a commercial loan which really complicated matters but Brent helped us find a really great loan broker, provided valuable advice and guidance to us and generally helped us keep the transaction rolling along. If we decide to sell, he’s definitely the guy I would call.

Lance and Tina Larsen | Home Seller & Commercial Client

We want to thank you for helping us sell our property on Shaw St. in Beaverton Oregon. The Commercial property was not an easy sell due to being in an undesirable neighborhood and a challenging location to access. Despite that, Brent and his team marketed it well and did all due diligences prior tobringing qualified buyers for showing. We will definitely use your team for our future purchases and sales of our properties.

Korey Stewart | Home Seller & Home Buyer

I had the pleasure of working with Brent during my time at Emerging Markets of North America. Brent possesses a very strong leadership quality with his staff, and clients alike. His enlightening method of leading has produced more knowledge in my one year with the company than my entire professional career in sales. Thanks, Brent!

Phil Young | Home Seller & Home Buyer

I have known Brent for years and I consider him a good friend as well as business associate. He is ethical beyond reproach and has a vast knowledge of his industry. Brent has helped me not on multiple projects and I look forward to the chance to work with him again. He is also incredibly charitable and gives back to the community in many ways.

Michael Beirne | Home Seller & Home Buyer

Brent brings an amazing spirit of energy along with discipline and a ton of wisdom. He's an innovative thinker and a very motivating partner whether it be for discovering new business and opportunities or exploring new business concepts and experiences around the world. Brents directly supported several entrepreneurs i know and introduced our company to business in the past. If you have the opportunity to work with brent, take it, if you have the opportunity to pay it forward by helping him, do it and it will come back to you many folds in return. Just a great guy overall to work with!

Ramses Verlinden | Home Buyer

Brent recently helped me close on a complicated six unit transaction where he represented both the buyer (me) and the seller. His knowledge of the process kept him a step ahead at every turn. Communicating with all the parties involved in the deal right down to getting our appraisals a week earlier than scheduled so that we could close on time. Brent is like that hardnosed attorney that you want on your team at trial. He gets it done

Chris and Tonya Allen | Oregon Buyer/ Washington Seller

My wife and I have moved more than a half dozen times since our kids were born. They are now 13 and 12. We've been from Oregon to South Carolina to Washington. We lived in a couple houses in Camas and loved the schools, neighborhoods, and proximity to shopping. However, something didn't feel right. We began exploring Oregon again and came across a listing with a long history. Several times on and off the market with several listing agents. It was a beautiful log cabin on 20 acres set in the foothills outside Yamhill. The location put us close to family and we loved the idea of being in the quiet, tranquil countryside. We are Zillow marksmen and can find properties that most realtors wouldn't. We found the listing agent, Brent Barker, to be an exception. We contacted him directly and he agreed to walk us through the property. He spent ample time answering our questions and explaining the thoughtful construction and labor of love. On the backend he was managing through a difficult situation for the sellers. He handled everyone with grace and was an excellent communicator. He was always more than willing to provide exceptional recommendations for inspectors and other professionals during our buying journey. We were able to reach a sales agreement and weave through the due diligence period. Because of Brent's work we used him to sell our previous home as well. He went bold and started at a list price above what we were thinking. Although outside his normal region he traveled to our area for open houses and met with each potential buyer. His market knowledge and industry networks manifested a contract at an asking price within a week. He flawlessly negotiated inspection agreements and the final closing on both properties that went off without a hitch. His professional expertise and industry knowledge along with his network of fantastic partners make Brent a cut above.

Brent was obviously a real Pro and that was a huge pleasure working with him and his associate Martine. He batted for us from the very beginning and made the whole process go by rather smooth. I would highly recommend Brent Barker!

KM | Commercial Property Buyer

Brent represented me on a commercial purchase. In all my previous real estate dealings, I’ve never had a broker get after every aspect of the deal with his kind of rapid response to every deal point. This man does not stop at 5:00PM or on the weekends; this was refreshing, as most brokers response time does not compare. It was great working with Brent, love his motivation, character, charisma, and industry knowledge. I will look for Brent to assist on future projects.

Chad and Ewa | Home Buyer

Professional, knowledgeable, and punctual. Had a rather complex land deal that needed to get done promptly and efficiently. Lots of potential complications were effortlessly sought out and proactively taken care of by Brent before they became an issue. We routinely found ourselves using him as a vital resource of real estate info and knowledge. We found him to be "in his element" in all aspects of the transaction. Overall, the process was smooth, his character was professional. We would use him again and will surely refer him to friends and family.

S Thompson | Commercial Property Seller and Buyer

This is not the first, and hopefully not the last, property that Brent will be working with us on for myself and my family. His expertise and skills in his field are unparalleled by anyone I have ever met. I would still give him five stars for responsiveness, as he is, but he is always first when it comes to communication. He is in full contact with you every day, making sure all the needs necessary for the buying, and/or selling of a property is going as smooth as possible. His upfront approach, detailing every step, revealing necessary elements, is refreshing. He works non-stop, very quickly, with little downtime allowing the process of buying and selling to be completed in a timely fashion. This also makes the process of buying and selling very appealing to all parties. Working with Brent not only allows you to buy or sell properties with a professional but gives you confidence and peace of mind that is pivotal when making large financial decisions in real-estate. Thank you again for being there for us and guiding us all the way!
