The questions that 'home buyers' have regarding financing, pre-approval, loan process, and the purchase process are important. I help home buyers and investors in the Portland metro area by offering personal consultations. Call or e-mail to schedule for a date and time. (503)654-8999 or email ednafest@yahoo.com.

The questions that 'home sellers' have are equally important. The most frequently asked question, "How much is my property worth?” All realtors offer market evaluations but only a select few actually LOOK at what they have compared yours to. I take time to go the extra mile! Other questions sellers frequently ask are "what should I do to get the most for my home", "how much time will it take to sell my property or home?" And, "how much will it cost to have E.M.Fest Realty list my home?" I can help you take the right steps, answer your questions and more. The best part...until we CLOSE the sale, you pay ZERO! Selling Real Property can be one of the biggest events in your life. You may even think of doing it yourself but did you know that recent studies have indicated hiring a professional generates a higher quality closed transaction for both buyer and seller. Sellers generally net more than enough to pay for the help they receive. I SUPPLY PAPERWORK, SIGNS, FLYERS, ADVERTISING AND YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. I know you are smart enough to sell your own property, but why risk that kind of money? Why try to do for yourself something you may only do two or three times in your life? I have spent years learning to do this to your best advantage. Life is full of enough stress these days! Call E.M. Fest Realty.
