What People Say
“I can’t say enough about how thankful we were to have found Elizabeth. She was recommended to us by a friend after we had previously felt jaded by our past realtor experiences. He told us she was different and she was. She was polite, professional, knowledgeable, always on time and above all, through a very emotional process with many twists and turns, she always made us laugh and helped keep us feeling confident even when we thought all hope was lost. She negotiated fiercely on our behalf and at the end of the day, not only do we consider her a close friend, we are even all friends with the people we were negotiating against in our sale. A true testament to her ability to bring people together. We can’t recommend Elizabeth enough, five ten, eleven stars!"
Penny S.
"I can’t say enough good things about the service we received from Elizabeth Fanning! She sold two homes for us & we purchased a home w her help. She takes a special interest in each client & works diligently to find exactly what you need! I highly recommend her to anyone who is selling or purchasing a home!!"
Don & Judy G.
“When it comes to buying a house, Elizabeth is the only person I will call. The experience I had far exceeded any expectations I had. Elizabeth’s professionalism is unmatched and she is an expert in her field. She has a comprehensive knowledge of the local market and excellent negotiation skills. I had my first offer accepted the next business day! I have already recommended my friends to her and from they have told me, their experience was also outstanding. I will continue to recommend Elizabeth to any person who is looking to buy a house."
Mark Mundy
“Elizabeth helped my husband and I purchase our first home together. Our new home isn’t a multi-million dollar home, but to us, it was a really important decision and she approached the whole process understanding the true value to us. She helped guide us through the process, showing incredible patience and genuine kindness as we searched for our home. She was incredibly responsive to our questions and requests, and we had many! I would recommend Elizabeth to any of my loved ones. She made the entire process feel flawless. I count my blessings for the stress we didn’t have to deal with because she did. Thank you, Elizabeth!"
Jennifer H.
"Elizabeth Fanning never pushed us into anything, and when we found a home that was “for sale by owner,” she promptly arranged everything to ensure we were the first offer to make it to the sellers. In the extremely fast-paced Portland metro housing market, her knowledge and willingness to go above and beyond made our first time home buying experience fun and easy. Highly recommended!"
Danielle B.
"Elizabeth Fanning has a terrific demeanor and goes above and beyond in trying to find the right home. She made our Portland adventure fun and stress free, finding us the best place for our needs. Moving to a new city can be overwhelming and she made all the transactions simple and easy. Love our new home away from home! Highly recommend Elizabeth for your real estate needs!"

"Elizabeth was so patient and helpful with my search for a home. We first started in the Mt. Hood area, which was very competitive. In 18 months, we were only able to locate a few homes that met my strict criteria. Although we weren’t able to close on any, she was available to meet me there for a showing. At her suggestion, we made a few changes to my ‘wish list’ and within a few days, found an amazing house. I am so grateful for the personal touch that Elizabeth brought to me as a new client. I will keep her on speed dial for my next sale or purchase."
