I believe in high-tech high-touch methods to make sure you gain an edge on the competition while leveraging my 29 years of experience and relationships to seal the deal.

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.

"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."

"I can't see why anyone would use a realtor other than Chris Bonner. I went from knowing nothing about home-buying to feeling very well informed in a matter of months. Chris has encyclopedic knowledge of Portland, an innate instinct about houses, and a keen perception of peoples' needs. She steered me clear of disasters and managed to maneuver a short sale in record time and with an unheard of lack of issues. I absolutely felt that I was in the best hands.
She's also a darn good person. Here's what Google just told me about her: The Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors named her the 2011 Realtor Good Neighbor for her work with the local non-profit JOIN, which helps homeless individuals transition into permanent housing. She's also a founding member of Housing Our Families and worked with them for eight years to help provide affordable housing to low-income families. She also served on the City of Portland Advisory Committee on Affordable Housing and has taught homebuying classes for the Portland Housing Center."
