My husband and I worked with Chris and her team after learning we would be relocating to Portland. We were blown away with Chris’ overall knowledge of home construction. Having no knowledge of the local geography she was great about guiding us as we looked at homes and what we may need to look out for. She was great about visiting homes prior to our arrival to give a “yay” or “nay”. We visited more than 40 homes when we got to Portland. She was patient and had a great attitude throughout the process. Chris is relaxed, approachable and honest. We never once felt like she was rushing us or trying to sell us on any property over another. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and would recommend her to anyone who is in the market for a new home.

The entire experience of working with Chris Bonner's team in the course of purchasing my new home over the last 6 months was an absolute pleasure; so unlike what I’m used to in real estate. The knowledge, humor and patience I enjoyed with Chris, Jesse and Matthew throughout made me feel really comfortable and happy with the building I eventually purchased, and Yana’s shepherding over the last few weeks was an unexpected help. I’m truly impressed by their entire team and will happily recommend them to anyone.

Chris expertly guided us through the process of buying our first home in Portland, and then through the process of selling that same home when we had to relocate due to career choices. We found her experience gained through remodeling homes to be invaluable as we considered changes in houses we viewed, and as she examined key structural integrity issues we didn't even know to look for at that point. She also worked tirelessly for us, looking for a good house at a fair price in what was a hot market at the time. Highly recommend working with Chris.

"What can I say, Chris is an amazing realtor. We recently worked with her to purchase our first home. She is extremely knowledgeable about houses and the home buying process, and we learned a ton from her about what to look for in a house and things to be aware of. We were living several hours away during our search process, which she worked around beautifully. She kept track of our search using a spreadsheet, showed us every house we were interested in on days that we were able to visit, and would videotape anything that came up between trips. She never once made us feel rushed or pressured in any way. On long days visiting houses, she somehow remained relaxed and focused the whole day, and really is just plain a pleasure to be around. She clearly loves what she does and is at the top of her game. She never made us feel that our relationship was transactional, and even since closing she has kept in touch and made sure that everything has been as expected. For example, after moving in we realized that the seller had not completed one of the things we had agreed upon. I figured it was a lost cause, but when I asked Chris about it she immediately fixed it. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Chris is a person of unusually high integrity. There are very few people for whom that is one of their top characteristics, but for Chris it is. She is strategic and smart, but conducts all business with honesty and tact. She treats everyone around her with dignity and respect. I trust her completely."

"Chris Bonner immediately earned our trust by being respectfully honest throughout the whole process. She was our buying agent for our second home. During inspections, she was not afraid to go into crawl spaces and note any concerns she saw. She provided great feedback whenever we discussed renovations while touring homes. If we toured homes at the top of our budget, she was good at keeping us from getting too carried away. She and her team were very responsive throughout the buying process, all the way through closing. Her 27 years of experience allowed her to tell us how urgent we had to be to make an offer. During the negotiation period, she provided a good gauge on reasonable requests. We recommend her in a heartbeat."
