This AGENT came and slick sold me his services for 4.25% and listed me at X price. His first photographers photos were terrible. I complained about this, so he sent out another, who did a fantastic job. The first Open House on Fathers Day? Then only one this weekend. Not a single person had requested a private showing in 11 days? Refused to do a Brokers Tour. Didn't mass email other Realtors that my house was available. Today I fired him, after only having a seemingly text only conversation the entire two weeks of hiring him. In this last conversation this morning, he implied we should drop the price 10%. And he listed it at the price originated, because he wanted to get me the best price? He was quick to dismiss being my agent and move on. He didn't care about my grievances. He was quick to drop his price from 4.5% to 4.25% without even me asking, when first hired. That should have been a red flag then. He always had OTHERS involved with the process and I never seen him again or had telephone conversations. I do NOT understand how this agent, who has a Video, professing to be the best agent out there, can be actually quite the opposite. He remarked how he was out $1000 for two photo sessions and having two open houses. He refused to have a Brokers Tour. If I were you, STAY AWAY. UPDATE: Texted me and said he would give me the photographs of the house to give to the next agent, IF I deleted this review. And thought my 1 star was too harsh. Are you kidding me?

I am dismayed at and skeptical of all the 5-star reviews. This agency listed my home for 6 months last year. Their efforts were marginal at best. My agent was slow to respond to my calls and emails. The photography was fine. The property description was uninspired and when I suggested changes they were defensive. They were late for their own open houses and only put out one or two signs - they literally could not have put less effort into them. And when the market slowed down they had absolutely nothing creative or different to offer. My opinion is that their services are quite similar to the discounted websites but at a higher rate and I would never use them again. To the owner - thank you for your response. The market did take a downturn last year. But every other house in my neighborhood sold. The only one that didn’t was mine. And you failed to address the other issues I had - slow or no response from the agent, minimal effort and lateness of open houses. And I forgot to mention the other horrible aspect of your service, which was the automated email responses. From my perspective, the quality of your customer service leaves much to be desired.

We were very happy with Jeremy Wilkerson on the Stephen FitzMaurice Team. As an experienced seller’s agent, he had the vision and saw the potential of this old 1970’s house that other realtors who we interviewed did not. Upon arrival and seeing the kitchen, he exclaimed, “This is fun!” And that someone is really going to like this 1970’s retro look. He had a very enthusiastic and positive outlook. And so we decided to listed with him. Jeremy was right about everything. He said if we followed all his recommendations for general cleanup and hire his recommended stager, and leave other things as is (orange countertops, yellow vinyl kitchen flooring, retro light fixtures), he would list the house at $50,000 higher. We did everything he recommended and that is exactly what the house sold for! This was at the end of the summer selling season in September, and we still received multiple bids. We were extremely happy with his services as well as all the other staff at EXP (photographer, 3D photographer, office staff, transaction coordinator Diana). Thank-you Jeremy and everyone on the Stephen FitzMaurice Team at EXP!

I received a call from The Team after I looked at homes listed on their site and I knew from that conversation that they were the realtors that I wanted to help us in the process of buying our first home! They were more than willing to answer any silly questions we had as first time home buyers. We put offers on seven different homes over our five months of looking. Although it was stressful and disappointing being rejected, it couldn't have been a simpler process with them! They are wonderful at negotiating, spotting issues we don't see, giving advice, writing up offers or repair addendums, and really everything else! They always did their research when showing us a home and went back to the sellers multiple times for more info we requested. We could not have done this process without them! The companies they referred us to for mortgage loans and inspections were of the same quality, reliability, and kindness. We are so happy with the home they helped us purchase and the time we got to spend looking with them!

My wife and I did our own Zillow and Redfin research for a while and had a hopeful listing price in mind. Stephen did his own research and suggested we list it for $20K more than we we were hoping we could get for it, and then four days after it listed, we had three offers. They had a solid listing, good photography, and one open house. One of the offers was for $20K more than the listing (so $40K more than we had hoped for!). I'm obviously not going to complain much after that kind of exchange. And from accepting the offer to having the cash in hand took less than three weeks (and this was not a cash sale). It was kind of insane, actually. From start to finish, felt like they all knew what they were doing. Hit a few hiccups with buyer's inspectors and repair requests, but they guided us through all of that effortlessly (at least for me). Highly recommend this team. Will go straight to Stephen and his crew the next time we need to sell property.

This is my second sale with Stephen FitzMaurice and my first with his expanded team. I could not be more satisfied with their guidance and excellent service. I returned to Stephen because I needed to sell my home well with what I had to work with. Stephen has superior strategy based on tons of data and experience that he and his team have compiled. His team works hard for you. They have very fast communication. They are constantly analyzing the market and tracking a lot of data to be on top of all the local markets. I would highly recommend the Stephen FitzMaurice team it you need to sell a house in the Portland metro area, not matter what your situation is. I can state with clarity and confidence that there is no better realtor to sell with than the Stephen FitzMaurice Team.

Stephen and his team delivered for us. Before meeting Stephen and team, we had been trying to sell our home for over a year and were running into constant roadblocks with a looming special assessment on our condo that had caused multiple sales to fall through. Stephen put together a top-down strategy from positioning, marketing, and negotiation tactics that delivered more than we could have imagined - under the circumstances. I also want to give a shout out to Jennifer for her persistence and follow through during all the stages during this unique sale. I highly recommend Stephen and team to any prospective seller as they can provide the strategy, resources, and expertise to get you from listing to closing date. Ryan Svensson

Stephen’s group guided me through a difficult sale. The buyer had many problems and their original financial arrangements completely collapsed. There were four postponements to closing. Fortunately, Stephen’s group had a mortgage group that managed to get the sale financed. Both Stephen and the buyer’s agents took cuts to their commissions to make the sale happen. However, I was able to sell it at the same price without any cuts to my price. Communication by email and phone provided me with the support and answers to my questions that I desired and wanted all along the way. This was a case for the textbooks. Thanks again to everyone who helped to finally seal the deal through diligence and constructive problem-solving.

Stephen is a realtor for today. He is data driven. He explains how he runs his business and why based on factual information… not because realtors have always done it that way. He is a straight shooter on condition and pricing but also has a very confident, calming demeanor. He had excellent advice on what pre sale improvements were worth the time/money and what to leave alone. He gave us several price points and communicated clearly the risks with each given the current market. We sold our high end property in this market in 3 weeks….just like he predicted. Jennifer in the office was also amazing, efficient and a real pleasure to work with. Would recommend them to anyone!!

Stephen and his team are top notch, easily the best real estate organization I've ever worked with. Stephen has an excellent marketing program and spends a ton of money on advertising across several real estate websites. Coupled with hosting open houses every week until the home is sold, it's hard to imagine another agent driving as much interest to your property. Very thorough and timely communications throughout the process of selling a home plus low listing fees with a cancel anytime policy make Stephen an easy choice when listing a home. I have recommended Stephen to several friends and family members over the last few years and will happily continue to do so. A+++

I reached out to Stephen because I was selling a property several states away from where I lived and was considering splitting the lot. I needed a realtor that could help me through that decision and handle all of the logistics of getting the house ready for sale. The team was amazing! They coordinated with the companies needed to get the place ready for sale and stage it. I had 2 offers the first weekend on the market and took one that was $15,000 above asking. There were some logistics to work out with inspections, negotiations, and some repairs the VA loan company insisted on and they coordinated everything. The sale went great! I highly recommend them.

Stephen and Jennifer and the other people on their team did an outstanding job helping us prepare to very successfully and quickly sell our home. We initially met with Stephen who earned our respect with his thorough knowledge of the industry and its current trends. He helped us identify what needed to be repaired and advised us on how to visually prepare our home to sell. The photographer and his team did an amazing job! The house looked outstanding. Once the offers started coming in, Jennifer was kind and patient and walked us through all the paperwork, offering advice as needed. I would highly recommend this agent and have already done so!

I highly recommend Stephen FitzMaurice and his team! I've used his services to sell two of my primary homes and one investment property and buy one investment property. Here's why I chose Stephen the first and second time. 1) Fees to sell are very reasonable 2) Guidance from A-Z on how to stage for selling for max $$$ 3) Clear communication through the entire process 4) Great advertising 5) Properties sold quickly 6) I received top dollar for my properties 7) Similar experience on the buying side 8) Minimal disturbance during the showing of my properties 9) Quick to respond to questions 10) Entire process was clear and done well

The Stephen FitzMaurice Team helped us buy two houses. The first was a transaction for a new build town home. The process was daunting, working with contractors to get into our first house. He had everything down pat. The communication was excellent. The second time we bought a house in NE Portland. The process was extremely easy. We were able to get the repairs we needed done on the house we wanted. Throughout both transactions, the experience was positive. Our questions and any concerns were addressed in a timely responsive manner. We would highly recommend him and his team!

It's true! Stephen and his team are at the top of real estate professionals in the NW - if not #1. I know of and have worked with several realtors in the past -but this team is different. They sold a somewhat difficult and aging property very smoothly, professionally and without any stress. They negotiated repair issues fairly and closed with me the seller out of the country in record time. I am totally impressed with Stephen & company and will use them again. So...my advice is -even if you know of another realtor, just use Stephen and you'll love yourself when it's all over!

Stephen and his team are the best in the business. They get things done fast and professionally. They spend money to make money which ensures your listing will get the most attention possible. I had another realtor for a month and a half and got no offers. After switching to Stephen I got 2 offers in the first 4 days, one full price and one over asking. The customer service was top notch and the best I have dealt with in 10 real estate transactions. If you want you house sold fast at a good commission then Stephen and his team are the best there are.

My experience with Stephen and his team, has been the most professional I have ever had. He analyzed the options that we had for the house sale and how to price it properly. Stephen was there every step of the way, answering every one of our concerns. The house was professionally presented and was sold quickly. Then Stephen and his team set up everything for us to complete the sale, and all went smoothly, exactly as they planned it. I am really grateful to a great agent, that I consider as a friend for the way that he treated my family.

Stephen and his team did a fantastic job with the sale and purchase of our home. We interviewed 3 different realtors and chose Stephen because of his clear and professional presentation. He gave us practical things to do to get our home sold and was transparent about all the fees. There were no surprises. We also used his buying specialist, Kami Price, and Michael her associate went above and beyond when it came to showing us homes. We were extremely happy we chose Stephen and his team of selling and buying specialists.

I highly recommend Stephen FitzMaurice and his team. This is the second house they have sold for us. They had all the expertise and connections to get our house sold quickly and for top dollar. Stephen is an expert in his field and is surrounded with quality professionals on his team. We were very happy with Jennifer Tangvold as well. She kept us informed as we went through the process and was very thorough and quick to respond if we had any questions. Great job guys! Steve Hatfield

We received excellent and attentive service by the Stephen FitzMaurice team that included our realtor Michael Crosbie. We negotiated reasonable seller and buyer agent commissions given the condition and desirability of our house. All stages of the sale progressed efficiently on time and we were able to close earlier than scheduled. Michael provided sound advice on staging and price but also listened to our ideas and accommodated our needs and preferences. We highly recommend.

Jeremy Wilkerson listed our home for us. He gave me great advise about what to repair and what to leave along saving me lots of money. His team found me a buyer with a full price offer. He was available to speak on the phone whenever I needed to talk to him. I am a home inspector and I've met hundreds of agents. He is one of the best that I have had the pleasure to work with. I feel lucky and I am very thankful that we had him sell our home. Thank you for everything Jeremy!!

A great agency filled with capable, agents like Michael Crosbie. Michael is a savvy, kind, and caring agent who gets it done. Working with Michael during a purchase several years ago, and recently with the sale of a house, both experiences were outstanding, and mutually beneficial to buyer and seller. We have fond memories of Michael's experienced guidance. We highly recommend Michael Crosbie at Stephen FitzMaurice.

Stephen was amazing. We chose him among four interviewed. He was the most knowledgeable about the market’s ‘potential price point and willing to employ additional strategies for highest bid. He was the analytics we needed to balance our emotional attachment to a unique property. The photos were beyond comparable and what we believe made our listing get over 2000 hits on Zillow and Redfin in the first 48 hours.

Stephen and his team were kind and helpful, and sold my fixer home in less than a week for full asking price. Then Stephen gave me over to a buying team, and they were as nice as close friends, and always had my interests in every thing that they did. I mostly worked with Amanda, but everyone helped and was wonderful. Once again it was a fast smooth experience. I recommend them without hesitation.

My wife and I couldn't be happier with the results of our recent home sale. Kami and her team came up with an asking price that was right where it needed to be and we got a full price offer the same day we listed the home. The rest of the process went as smoothly as possible and now we are paying off the mortgage on our new home from the proceeds of the sale. Best realtor we've ever worked with.

By far the best experience when it comes to real estate agents. From the 1st meeting Stephen was open, honest and transparent about what to expect in the terms of the pricing of the house, potential timelines, etc. His entire team worked tirelessly to provide exceptional support and make it stress free. For me Stephen and his team are go-to real estate agents from now on. Great job team!

Wonderful team to work with! They helped us sell our house in under a week and also helped us find a home we love! Everyone we worked with on the team from start to finish was helpful, communicative, knowledgeable, kind, and easy to work with. We felt supported throughout negotiations and the closing process and felt like they understood our needs. Would recommend!

We tried to sell our house For Sale By Owner and didn't have any luck. We contacted Stephen FitzMaurice and his team did a great job marketing the house and sold the property within few weeks. We wished we used Stephen sooner. His fees were very competitive and service was outstanding. We will defiantly use Stephen again selling our rental property next.

Michael was great. He was strategic with listing our house and despite a snow storm & city closure, we listed our house, had dozens of appointments and visitors and had 5 offers all over asking. Grateful for his guidance and recommendations. He was also great as we we had moved before closing and worked diligently to get our home closed and supported.

Stephen is amazing! He is not just professional in his work but he truly cares about people. His heart for people shines through & we will always refer those closest to us to him because we know they will get taken care of. He is also one of the most generous people I know, always giving to those in need which is a gift most professionals don’t have.

This is the second time I've used Stephen to sell my home. Stephen provides sound advice to help prepare you sell your home quickly. We managed to turn around our sale in 2days from the day we listed. His team is excellent and helps you through each step regardless of the time of day. I doubt you will find a better team at a very competitive rate.

I've been meaning to write Stephen a review for a while now and just kept putting it off. Stephen sold my house early 2015 when I moved to Seattle from Portland. I pretty much left our house to him and he had it sold within 2 days above asking. Stephen made sure that any problems were quickly remedied. I was very happy with the service.

The Stephen FitzMaurice Team helped me sell my home in a short time period and I must say the entire process was flawless! They communicated all the details of the transaction very clearly and concisely and made the entire process seem simple. I highly recommend the Stephen FitzMaurice Team to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home.

Having spent several months struggling to sell our home we turned to Stephen and his team. He assured us he could sell our home, at our listing price within a certain timeframe, and it happened! From photos, to closing every member was great. Jennifer always found time to respond to my questions. I would highly recommend Stephen.

My wife and I have nothing but great things to say about the Stephen Fitzmaurice Team. Their wealth of knowledge in both the buying and selling of homes is second to none. You truly get more but pay less when it comes to selling your home. More money in our pocket and a smooth transaction was spot on. Highly recommend the team.

Stephen and his team were absolutely amazing. Being a first time home buyer I was skeptical about working with an agent because of the horror stories that I had heard. However I can honestly say that I was pleased with the outcome I found my dream home and I would highly recommend this team to anyone of my friends or family.

Don’t get an average realtor, choose Stephen and his team. Professional photos make a huge difference, not just snapped by the realtor with his/her iPhone. You get this and much more, plus his fees are less than other realtors. I’ve used Stephen several times now and it’s always been great. Highly recommend.

Stephen did an exceptional job listing and selling our property. He made the process easy and did a great job marketing to attract lots of buyers. The house sold and Stephen and his team were there to make the process smooth. Truly the best experience we have had. Thanks you Stephen you are a rock star!

Michael Crosbie the team at exp realty helped us successfully sell our home in Tigard. It was a great experience and we are grateful that we had a professional and knowledgeable team to help us through the process during a pandemic. They addressed our concerns and got our house sold in a timely manner

Kami and Max were awesome. I feel like I picked the best buyers team in Portland! Max was so helpful during the house touring process and Kami went above and beyond to get me the deal. The whole team was incredibly motivated and their expertise helped me navigate a really unfamiliar market. 10/10

This was the first house I have sold, and could have not asked for a better team to work with. I am still surprised that I was able to sell during the pandemic. I had such a positive experience with all of the staff members and appreciated their responsiveness as well as their professionalism.

Very happy with the team there. Our broker Michael had a nice balance of market knowledge and tech knowledge and didn't try and inflate our expectations to unrealistic levels (although we actually got over asking price). The photography and back office team are also knowledgeable and skillful.

We hired Stephen after we fired our first agent that was all talk and showed zero knowledge of how to sell a house. Stephen had the knowledge of data/analytics showing how to sell a house. Stephen was very responsive and easy to work with. He sold our house within a few days of listing.

We had a great experience with Stephen. He personally worked with us to put our home on the market at the best time. We accepted an offer within 4 days! His team was great to work with and the photos of our condo looked amazing. Very professional experience and I highly reccomend.

Stephen and his team were incredible! They sold our home and helped us by our dream home. They went above and beyond every step of the way and no problem was too big to overcome. The listing was professional and response time immediate. Thank you all for an exceptional experience.

I have had an incredibly wonderful experience working with Stephen and his team and it's no wonder he is in the top 1%...he's smart, ambitious, friendly, and innovative. I look forward to a lifelong relationship with him an his company and consider him a friend.

Stephen has developed an amazing system to get homes sold fast and for top dollar. His team provides excellent support through the whole process. If you're looking for great service and a quick home sale I would definitely recommend using Stephen's team.

Excellent service in every respect. From beginning to end it was so professional and wonderful. Entire staff were so experienced and impressive. You can’t go wrong choosing this firm for all your real estate needs. Highest recommendation possible.

Amazing experience! Stephen and his team have thought through everything end to end. We were up to date as events happened and we were never surprised. Also, any time we had questions, the team was always available / responded promptly. Thank you!

Stephen and his team were amazing during the sale of our home! He offers a tremendous value, with lower rates and exceptional service. He is very knowledgeable about the market, and his experience helped our sale go smoothly from start to finish.

Stephen is calm, professional and easy to talk to . He listed the home and Jennifer took care of the details. She was very knowledgeable, easy to work with and got back to us quickly if we had questions. I would highly recommend their team!

Stephen and his team were phenomenal! They had every detail covered from start to finish. Super organized and effective. In a challenging market, they got my house sold quickly and at a good price. Great communication and easy to work with.

Stephen and his team are very knowledgeable with excellent negation skills. Amazing and fast communication. Highly Recommend Stephen if you are going to list your house for sale. Great marketing tools and very professional. Regards, Sonny

We had a wonderful experience working with Kim Woodhouse and Jennifer Tangvald. Kim led us confidently through getting us on the market. She was extremely responsive, provided comps, and extremely patient and knowledgeable in the pricing

Tyrone and Andrea Parmelee were easy to work with helped ease our anxiety’s about the buying and selling process. As two project managers, we like to get into the details and know what to expect every step of the way. Andrea and Tyrone

Stephen and his team were on the ball from the minute we spoke to the time the home sale closed. If there was an issue with the buyer or any holdups, they were responsive via email and phone. Thank you you so much for making it happen!

I've been a Real Estate Broker in Idaho for 25 years and referred clients to Michael Crosbie with the Stephen FitzMaurice Team. This was the first time referring clients to Michael and I was not disappointed. Michael and the Stephen

The team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. Michael Crosbie was my agent and I would definitely recommend him. I was able to sell my property quickly and at a good price. Michael has a solid understanding of the market.

As a first time homebuyer, Kami and Amanda could not have made the home buying process any easier. They were both very personable, kind and always just a phone call away. I would recommend Kami and Amanda over and over again!

Kami is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, her whole team is willing to help out in any way they can and really held my interest and wants as their first priority in helping us make the best decision for our family home.

Michael Crosbie is a joy to work with. We appreciated his professionalism, knowledge, and excellent communication during all phases of our sale. We highly recommend Michael to anyone wanting to sell their home.

Being out of town and selling a home, Michael and Jennifer helped make the process very easy on us. They were a great team to work with and we highly recommend to anyone selling a home in the Portland area!

Amazing experience! As first time home buyers, we felt supported throughout the whole process. They were a professional, communicative and trustworthy team. Would absolutely work with them again.

They are communication experts. Great to work with, no confusion. Very knowledgeable about construction, HOAs, and all aspects of the home buying process. Always available, very responsive.

Excellent team. Sold home in 1 day. Process was professional and collaborative. Team went above beyond and assisted us since we didn’t live in area any longer. Would highly recommend team!

Working with Stephens team has been an all around great experience. His knowledge about real estate and the home buying process is top of the line. He has my full recommendation!

Stephen did an absolutely wonderful job selling my condo! He went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend using him for all of your real estate needs.

Outstanding data driven analysis and advice. Very responsive throughout the marketing of our house. We are very satisfied with the process and the result.

We have purchased and sold several home with Kami and every time she give us the 5star treatment. We would never use anyone else.

Stephen and his team did an amazing job in selling our home. They were so helpful and easy to work with.
