Testimonials

I have not met many people in my life whom I can recommend to everyone I know without hesitation or qualification. Jake helped my wife and I purchase our first home. From the moment we met him, Jake was a tireless advocate for our needs. He helped acclimate us to the process, guided us through its intricacies, and ultimately helped us land our dream home. In the years since, Jake has not been a stranger either. He has eagerly answered many questions in the ensuing years and offered advice on home values (performing comps for us without a fee) and refinancing. He has also been an invaluable source of information on contractors. You know that feeling when you've found a good mechanic and your mind is at ease because you no longer have to worry about your car? Hire Jake as your broker and you'll never look anywhere else for your real estate needs.

We have used Jake to buy 3 and sell 2 homes. Each time he reminds us once again why he is he incredible at what he does. His attention to detail and urgent communication makes you feel like his most important client. Not to mention he has given us great advice from negotiation tactics to inspections that have enabled us to get the best deal on every home. We have recommended him to every family member and friend we know and will continue to do so forever!

I have worked Jake on multiple house transactions including purchasing and selling. His knowledge of the market including trends and pressures was top notch. He provided suggestions that paid off big for us which we wouldn't of followed without his direction. Jake is very accessible and helped us maneuver through the process from start to finish. I would recommend Jake for anyone selling or purchasing a home, especially in the challenging market that the Portland Metro area currently is experiencing.

I met Jake Barakat when my daughter and her husband bought their first home. Their experience with him was so great I didn't hesitate to call him when my 89 year old mother wanted to sell her home. Jake showed her the utmost respect in this endeavor and could not have been more patient. Selling her home was a very emotional and daunting task for her. She wanted to be involved in all the decisions and wanted the final say on every matter. She knew exactly what she wanted and many times was a bit stubborn. Jake told her that he wanted her to be happy with this sale and held to his word. It turned out to be a quick process and my mom was extremely happy with the results. I would highly recommend Jake to anyone I know who wants to buy or sell a home. He is excellent at what he does and it is a pleasure to work with him.

"Jake helped my husband and I buy our first home! He was wonderful to work with- knowledgeable of the Portland area and helpful in teaching us how to navigate the home buying process for the first time. He was flexible for home viewings which was critical in a market where homes move so fast. He was extremely skillful in negotiating with the seller/selling agent in a rather challenging situation. Maybe most importantly, Jake is trustworthy, honest, and full of integrity; we felt we could rely on him to have our best interest in mind every step of the way."

"I have been house hunting for over a year and a half now, and Jake has been there helping each step of the way. Jake is incredibly knowledgeable, really great at communicating things so I could understand, and is just above and beyond thoughtful and helpful all throughout the whole entire process. Jake will walk you through everything and made it much less intimidating for me. He is quick and efficient in his response time. He makes the entire process from start to finish, as easy and convenient as possible. I had no doubt throughout the whole house hunting and buying experience that Jake would always give me a straight and honest answer every single time. I will most certainly recommend him to anyone even thinking of purchasing or selling a home."

"Jake was the epitome of professional and courteous. His attention to detail, and ability to respond almost immediately were always appreciated. If he didn't have an answer to a question, he was always quick to find one and get back to us right away. We could not have survived buying our first home without him."
