Phil and Jesse explained the home buying process to us in an easily digestible way and always made sure we knew what was happening every step of the way. Phil always had our best interests at heart and was open and honest about his thoughts when we would visit homes whilst providing excellent knowledge and understanding of what makes a good home. He was available around the clock and always made us a priority. Highly recommended.

If you are in the market for a new place, Phil Evans and Jesse Penaka are definitely top notch! My husband and I were buying a home for the first time, and we had very limited experience. When looking for realtors, Phil and Jesse stood out, not just because of their professionalism and knowledge, but because of their focus to empower us as buyers. We attended their home buyers workshop, and based on what we learned, we immediately felt more comfortable navigating the processes. Fast forward to the moment where we chose on dream home, Phil went above and beyond to secure the deal, even though there was already a good offer on the table. With his help, timeliness, and hard work, we made a competitive offer, and got the house we wanted! Without them, this would not have been possible. Do your homework, and empower yourself as a buyer, but if you are considering a realtor, definitely go with Phil and Jesse!

Rich is a fantastic partner whether you're selling or buying! We had the pleasure of working with Rich when we bought our starter home and later sold it as our new family outgrew the space. He is attentive, understanding and thorough. While the process of buying and selling your home can quickly become overwhelming (and nail-biting), we routinely found ourselves grateful to have Rich, who would skillfully tread the line of dotting i's and crossing t's while keeping us on schedule, competitive and triple-checking to make sure we understood the process every step of the way like a true pro. Thanks, Rich!

Working with Phil was a pleasure. From their first introduction class until the final signature, Phil was helpful, responsive, patient and knowledgeable. We did not feel pressured when viewing houses and he was receptive to our requests. Phil was honest and open about his thoughts on our expectations and listened carefully to our changing needs and interests. It is a very stressful process but working with Phil helped make it a lot easier and smoother.

Timber and Rose went above and beyond to make our first home buying experience enjoyable. Their friendliness, professionalism, and care behind the process made us feel comfortable and secure with our decisions. We are so grateful to Jesse, Phil, and Lori for being so great to work with. We could not recommend Timber and Rose enough!!

Four years ago we had the pleasure of working with Jesse to buy our first home in North Portland, and this year both Jesse and Phil helped us to quickly sell that home and buy a new home in our ideal neighborhood. Both Jesse and Phil are very responsive and really advocate for you when dealing with agents, contractors, and all the other various parties involved in the home buying/selling process. With this being our first time selling a home, there were a lot of unknowns at first, but Jesse and Phil guided us through the process with ease.

Phil and Jesse were an absolute pleasure to work with. It started with their personalized home buying class, where I was able to learn from their expertise what makes the Portland market unique and what I could expect from the overall process. From their it was immediate responses to my questions and inquiries into potential properties, video walk throughs while I was out of town, and detailed explanation of the process once an offer was submitted. They also went above and beyond once the offer was accepted, helping me navigate the inspection period, getting quotes from various vendors on repairs, and even thinking through contingency plans if anything got delayed, which we didn’t need since Phil and Jesse work with AMAZING lender and title partners to ensure a smooth closing. It was a total of 3 months from that first introduction to closing on my house. I will be referring Phil and Jesse to all my friends and family for their real estate needs, and look forward to working with them again in the future on my next purchase.
