“Selling my first home at first felt like an incredibly challenging thing to accomplish - both physically and mentally. That all changed when I found Elle to guide me through the entire process.
There wasn't a single moment that I didn't feel fully supported, looked after and cared for before, during and after the sale of my first home. She fought hard to get us the best offers and negotiate the best terms of the sale and helped make, what seemed would be a sad moment, an exciting and proud one! She took care of everything from scheduling a photographer to take our listing photos, getting showings scheduled that fit our schedule, being the liaison between us and the buyers agent, escrow officer, appraiser, etc. - an offer was accepted in less than 48 hours that was well over asking and all I had to do was docu-sign all the paperwork she was sending my way. She is one of the main people to thank for helping me pave the way for my future. The sale of my house has given me a chance to build my own wealth and security for my future, she also taught me so much about the market and what it takes to buy and sell my future homes. I am forever grateful for the guidance, the lessons and the friendship that has come from working with Elle. I will never buy or sell another house without her.” - JDolan
"Elle Rahman did an amazing job at not only finding me a place to call home, but she made me feel confident about my decision to become a first time home owner. She was kind, knowledgeable, and got me more than I ever imagined. The process was smooth and stress free. Without her, and her team I very well doubt I would I have a place to call my own."-CLundgren
"There are few people in my life I have met that are as passionate and driven as Elle. We closed on my home today, but the journey started a couple years ago. I was dreaming about owning my own place and I thought the goal was so far away, so unreachable. But after talking with Elle, her confidence and expertise made assessing my home buying power approachable and suddenly it seemed realistic. At that time we discovered I would need to save a bit more money and build some credit. Elle put me in touch with the right people and gave me the tools to accomplish this. Now, a few years later, she checked in with me. I didn’t think I was ready but, reliably Elle had the resources and she graciously presented them all to me. All I had to do was say ‘yes’ and give her my trust and she navigated, advocated and won me my first home. If you are lucky enough to work with Elle, be ready for a graceful and powerful life changing experience." -SShea
"Where do I start. It was such an amazing pleasure working with Elle and getting to know her. The number one thing that attracted me to her and made the decision easy to have her as my agent was her honesty. She truly cares for her clients. She wants the best for them and its not just about the sale. She stands up for her client. She is very Knowledgeable in what she does. We couldn't have imagined a better agent to sell our home and help us find our dream home. I recommend Elle to all my family and friends and to anyone that want a agent that will take good care of their clients." - Anon
“I really enjoyed working with Elle. She was the right type of aggressive you want in a realtor. She would get us to see a place within 24 hours. I appreciated how quickly she moved. We were able to see a ton of houses in a short time span. She even came with me when the inspectors checked out our current home. Most importantly, she keeps things honest on what you can afford, when to expect a bidding war, and when to negotiate." -MZimmerman
"I cannot fully express how thankful and honored I am to now have had Elle on my team when purchasing my first home. Overall, she made the experience extremely positive and far exceeded any previous expectations of the entire home purchasing process. Elle is a lady who emanates power, grace, and class and embodied attributes that quickly impressed me: crazy fast response time, high energy, determination, and incredible problem-solving skills. My purchase seemed complicated at times, but she met challenges head-on and with such confidence that I did not worry at all - knowing and trusting in her skills and ability. Elle was the definition of a true ‘professional’ - even driving 4 hours from Portland to Pendleton to meet with my family and I to establish a personal connection. She also educated me on every step of the process, connected me with a wonderful lender, and most importantly of all, she was a staunch advocate and a fierce negotiator. I truly believe that no other real estate broker would have taken me on as a client nor be willing or capable to lift the mountains she lifted and break the barriers she broke. I am sure no other real estate broker in Oregon or even in the NATION can measure up to Elle Rahman. She is on a whole other level. If you are fortunate to be one of her clients - you are blessed." - AHarris
"We are so blessed to have Elle as our agent. This is our second time having her represent our family. While looking for our new home in this crazy market, Elle arranged for us to see a list of several potential properties. We needed a new home 4 hours away from where we currently live - so we relied heavily on Elle’s expertise of the area. The first house we viewed was perfect and fit our needs & wants. She spent the entire day with us during the process of scoping out properties. We felt like honored guests which made this process fun and exciting! Her knowledge of the area and how she communicated with other agents and how quickly she drew up offers on our favorite properties - were nothing short of exemplary professionalism. In this really hot market here in the city - where other buyers were having to place multiple offers (upward of 10-20 offers) Elle fiercely negotiated on our behalf. And as a result, my husband and I can happily say that we were able to purchase our first choice home - first time around. Through Elle's leadership and guidance she greatly reduced our stress and uncertainty in this new area. We will most definitely exclusively use her services again in the future! We Highly, Highly recommend Elle!" - Kiyewkiyew
“"A friend of ours suggested we get in touch with Elle when we were ready to buy our first home, and we are happy we did! She was so responsive and available to chat whenever we needed her. She had our backs every step of the way and worked hard for us, especially when it was time to finalize the details of the offer we made on the house that is now ours! I feel like she understood what we were looking for and what we could afford and stuck to that throughout the entire process. We would definitely recommend her." - JHayley
"What can be said that isn’t already evident? Elle Rahman is exceptional in every sense of the word. From the very beginning, Elle’s vast knowledge of real estate and experience in the finance industry provided great comfort as we embarked on purchasing our very first home. The Portland housing market can be intimidating to first home buyers, but with Elle by our side we were able to find our dream home quicker than we could ever imagined. We never expected to find a real estate broker like Ms. Rahman, who went above and beyond and for that we are extremely grateful.
If you are looking for an individualized home purchasing or selling experience, Elle Rahman can definitely fulfill this desire. She makes you feel like you are her only client!" - MBrown
“Three words come to mind when I reflect on the work Elle Rahman did for me when I was looking for a home to buy: Above and beyond. I was a first-time home buyer in the Portland metro area with almost no knowledge about how to navigate through the process, but Elle made things so easy for me! Elle stands out as a real estate agent because of her prior professional achievements in the legal and finance fields, so she was able to walk me through the contracts I was signing! She also has many helpful resources and recommendations that proved to be crucial in the process, and if she did not know the answer to something, she would very quickly get it for me. In such a tough seller's market, I truly felt that Elle was not just my agent, but my advocate. Elle always made me feel like a top priority, from little things to answering last-minute e-mails, texts, and phone calls (crucial in these fierce bidding wars as I soon discovered), to big things like saving me thousands of dollars. Through it all she always made sure I was protected as her client. Flexible, bold, creative, resourceful, and professional, she helped me find a home within my price range! I can't rave about her enough. Thank you, Elle! I mean every word. - NHahn
"Working with Elle as my realtor could not have gone any better, this was the most seamless and painless homebuying experience. From the moment I saw the house listed to the moment the keys were in my hand she was in constant communication, and always quick to respond to all of my questions. I have no doubt that without her abilities and persistence I would not be preparing to move into my new home!" -KKoch
"Elle is the best! We give her 5 stars in everything. My husband and I are first time home buyers and Elle was a fierce advocate and negotiator for us. She is someone who is on your side and truly has your best interest. My husband and I have been looking at properties for a few years now but we didn't have anyone to guide us and did not know anything about the processes. Buying your first home is a huge life milestone and there wasn't anyone in our area we knew and trusted to help and guide us. We didn't know who to get a mortgage through or what our limits were. Through a new friend we met a few years ago we were connected with Elle. My sister had messaged her a question and for some resources and pretty soon Elle called us and we started this journey into finding a home. Elle arranged to come visit us and on that same Monday, the perfect home we had been looking for came on the market. It wasn't even up for half a day and Elle took us to the house and it was meant to be! She put in our offer immediately and was on the phone with the sellers realtor that second. If we had any other realtor we don't think we would have been successful. Elle is punctual, fast to respond, and connected us with a great mortgage company that was perfect for working with us. We are more than excited and honored to have had Elle guide us through this process. So honored and thankful."-KMurphy
”We worked with Elle on the purchase of our first home around the peak of the Portland Real Estate craze, and we could not have asked for a more honest and gracious agent! We looked at quite a few properties all over the Portland and Beaverton areas until we found the perfect home that fit our personalities and budget. With her experience in business and the legal field, Elle was more than able to represent our needs throughout the negotiation and purchasing process, and clearly walked us through any updates. Elle is professional, honest, experienced, and patient, and we would work with her again in the future.” -JCornelius
“From the moment my partner Jenn Dolan and I first proposed the idea of buying a house to Elle she was completely enthusiastic, realistic, professional, and most importantly, understanding of our needs as potential first-time home buyers. There was never a moment she didn't fully explain something we didn't understand and when we did have any questions on virtually anything involving buying a home she was extremely thorough and attentive.
Once the time came to begin the actual viewing process of homes that sparked our interest, scheduling times with Elle was incredibly easy as I truly feel she was entirely committed to us and invested in our success. Sometimes we'd see six houses in one day, sometimes one in one week yet she was consistently enthusiastic and encouraging that we'd find the home of our dreams.
I found it incredibly special that when we eventually put in offers she would go above and beyond by adding a photo of Jenn and me in the home with a personalized message to give the seller a chance to put faces to the names. That, to me, is what makes the difference between an everyday agent and a superwoman dedicated agent. Everything from signing documents to understanding the extremely competitive Portland market was made to be a breeze the moment Elle took us under her wing.
Even the offers that we lost, Elle assured us that it just wasn't meant to be and we will keep moving forward to eventually find our perfect house and when we got the message from her stating we got an offer accepted I honestly felt a moment of complete euphoria and accomplishment yet was swiftly reminded how much we had to do to make this become a reality. While everything moved along just as scheduled and quite quickly, not only did she achieve what we expected from the seller after receiving the inspection but then some. I am completely impressed not only by her negotiation skills but her ability to execute the promises she delivers without leaving us in the dark or worried. She told us to trust her, and we did. To say Elle Rahman is an absolute genius in her field and a catalyst for my personal success in the Portland housing market is a massive understatement. She is now family and my entire experience with her and her team have been nothing less than extraordinary. Although she is not here with us, I know my Mother is grateful beyond expression that Elle has come into my life and assisted me in buying a home to build a family, embrace love, and promote growth. This has truly been one of the most inspiring and proud moments any 29-year-old young man could hope for. Cheers to what the future holds,” -IHanrahan
