Ashley Bronson

I found Ashley to be very quick-witted, very bright, extremely knowledgeable about the real estate process and was able to answer most questions on the spot. And if unable to answer immediately, she always followed through with an answer after consult to find the info. All other professionals expressed she was easy to work with. She maintained constant vigilance on pricing comparison of property values all the way to the last 2 weeks when she felt the house and the market would support an additional rise in the asking price when going live. I met Ashley when attending an open house for my next door neighbor. I discussed needing to sell my house, and discussed an equal pull on myself to not sell. I saw 4 other realtors over recent years and was not enthused. I was ready to give up and sell it as-is before even trying to start. I had been in the house for over 30 years and was attached to it despite needing to sell for retirement and other financial reasons. I say I was attached to the house, but it was more of an entrenchment! I was overwhelmed with the amount of work necessary to repair and upgrade my house for sale. Ashley is saint-like with her patience, and is one of the most positive people I have ever met. She has vision and imagination. She relentlessly retorted positively to my cynicism and made persistent suggestions of tasks to make the house appealing to a new buyer. I kept resisting with almost every suggestion until realizing she was right and I would then ultimately proceed with the task. She patiently kept suggesting items one at a time to keep me from being overwhelmed to a point of dysfunction. It took a while before I stopped resisting and just began total trust in Ashley. At that point finally, if she suggested something, I just asked “what color?” She connected me with a vast source of contractors ranging in price and quality to help me ready my house. She was able to get appointments with contractors at the height of the summer contractor season. She made appointments for estimates when I was too busy working on the house and when contractors were too busy to come, they came anyway for Ashley. And she often met contractors at the house to ensure they were guided to what work was desired. She gently prodded me to take on tasks I could do myself, and she did the research to locate those products necessary for the task — the product type, where to get it, the correct color, everything! She was able to find a contractor who did kitchen and bath upgrades as an alternative to replacement at greater expense. This was not only a great savings, but everybody who saw the work of the kitchen/bath upgrade repairs was “wowed”. She expressed as much excitement as I felt to see the house take shape when she periodically came by to connect with me or contractor’s progress. She made the whole process flow — everything from legal real estate issues to kitchen counter repairs. I was able to list for about $80k higher than I originally intended. And by the time we were on the market, I wanted to stay because it looked so nice. Ashley also made the closing go very smoothly, very professionally, and very innocuously. She maintains her connection after the sale. I recommend Ashley highly to all I meet.

My wife and I moved to Oregon and spent over 9 months looking at homes to buy in the Portland area. We met Ashley at an open house and quickly knew almost immediately that she was the agent we wanted. She quickly understood our needs in a home and adapted to our- shall I say- peculiarities in the way we approached the process. She was responsive to a fault and always made us feel that she was ready to move at a moments notice, displaying a lot of patience with us over the lengthy process. I have already recommended her to friends, will continue to do so, and she is my go-to for our next real-estate transaction.

We lucked out meeting Ashley at an open house before we were really looking for homes. It was my first time buying a home and Ashley was super helpful; very responsive and never pushy. She did a great job guiding us through the process and we feel really good about results of our negotiation. We're very thankful to have had her as our agent!
