About

Each person comes to me with a different set of needs.  I care about what you need in addition to your dreams and goals and I will work hard to see you achieve them.  With over 25 years of real estate industry experience, I have learned that making transactions as smooth and stress-free as possible is vital, and I make that happen.

I’m a native of the Pacific Northwest, and preserving and protecting our environment and the integrity of our community is of great importance to me.  I worked hard to become a member of the Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors Ethics Committee (PMAR), and part of the RMLS Rules and Regulations Committee.  I am proud to have earned the SRES designation and to call myself a Seniors Real Estate Specialist.  Additionally, with 15 years of mortgage banking experience, I am also well versed in lending jargon and distressed property sales. 

I have extensive experience in investment properties, 1031 Exchange, downsizing, move-up and first-time buyers.  I’m also licensed in both Oregon and Washington and can serve your needs regardless of which side of the river we’re on.  Caring for you and your individual needs is what I do best.  I bring my expertise every step of the way with you, and I partner with you to make sure each step moves towards your goals.  Whether you are selling or buying, I promise to guide you through the process with care.

Testimonials

She was the best. I’ve dealt with 3 real estate agents in my life and would definitely use Joni again if I need an agent. She was knowledgeable, responsive and very well informed of the area an market.

— Brian Brown

Joni is invaluable whether buying or selling a home. She was our agent when we bought a home in Portland and when we decided to sell. She is more than competent in her expertise and knowledge. Anytime we found ourselves insecure or not knowing how to proceed, Joni was right there giving us counsel, steering us in the right direction. The process from start to finish was seamless and quick. Couldn’t have chosen a better realtor.

— Karen T

“My wife and I only had 4 days to look for a house in the Portland area as we were relocating due to a new job. Joni did a lot of homework prior to our first meeting and thoughtfully explained what she considered the best process moving forward. She wisely helped us communicate to her what we were exactly looking for, and as we looked was not at all disappointed with our blunt rejection of any of the properties. She truly was working for us and not herself. She helped us narrow down and hone our focus. Working with Joni was an excellent experience, one we can recommend and would definitely repeat.’’

— Stan

I would recommend Joni to anyone and everyone; she has an outstanding personality and a wonderful attitude in the Real estate market. She walked me through a hard time and honestly, made life better for myself and my brothers. I know my brother will be calling on her for the sale of his house in the near future, so again outstanding service!! I will miss her happy attitude and am grateful to have met her. Thanks Joni for all the help!!!

— Brad

Joni has been a trusted real estate advisor since 2011 when I first moved to the Portland area. She was tireless in helping me relocate from Cleveland, Ohio and made a stressful move seamless. She has great attention to detail and goes about and beyond to make sure all goes smoothly. With that fist experience, I knew I had more than a real estate professional; I also had someone I could trust to keep my best interests out front. As changes came to my life, I enlisted Joni’s help to sell my condo (it sold in two days at over the asking price), sell my finance’s investment property and to find us our house together. It took 8 months, but Joni was enthusiastic and cheerful about working with two people with very different ideas. It takes a special person to be as diplomatic and patient as she was, but we (the three of us) found the perfect house for us. Joni has always been responsive and tireless worker. She has a great sense of humor and is very down to earth. I have recommended her to several people as the one to get the job done and I will continue to recommend her.

— Bebe C. & Jim M.

Joni was a pleasure to work with during our house hunting/buying experience. We were looking for our first home and were quite anxious to find just the right place. Having never worked with a realtor before, we really appreciate her helpful, low pressure approach. She really made us feel at ease with the entire process, start to finish. Since then, she has also been a great referral resource for locating assistance with home improvement projects around the house

— Donna O'Neil

My wife and I have been working with Joni on the purchase of investment properties over the past 5 years. She is very knowledgeable in that field and supplies us with all the pertinent data we need to make informed decisions. The refreshing thing about Joni is that she has probably advised me to not buy more properties than she has advised me to complete. She truly puts our best interest first in the transaction, often at the expense of her own commission! She is truly in for the long haul and we look forward to a continued long term relationship.

— John & Gemma Abraham

When we came to Portland 6 years ago Joni was referred to us by our agent saying “Joni is the best realtor in Portland.” Well he was right! We have bought and sold one house and purchased the one we are in through Joni. We have referred Joni to numerous friends and colleagues. At least 5 of these people had at least one transaction with Joni last year. We are very pleased!

— Sarah & Dan

We couldn’t have found a better realtor to sell our home. Joni came highly recommended by good friends and we liked her instantly. Joni will definitely work to get you what you want, whether you’re selling or buying a home, she cares about putting you first. She will persevere to the end to make sure you are satisfied.

— Jim & Kerry Benson

It’s about quality over quantity. At Hasson, we take tremendous pride in associating only with agents who epitomize the service, communication and professionalism that our company is known for. The agents and the company are dependent upon each other to achieve the greatest success.

— Mike Hasson, President & Owner

"Joni was highly recommended to me by a close friend who has worked a lot with Joni over the years. They told me that Joni would offer expert advice and clear options and recommendations. This was absolutely true. As well, she worked exceptionally hard to get me the home I wanted, having to change course in the middle of a deal. It wasn't easy, but she knew how important it was to me. I am so greatful for dedication. Joni also negotiated for things that were important to me and followed through with making sure everything was completed as agreed. Even after the closing, she held the seller accountable for meeting obligations of the contract. Joni worked closely with the lender and kept me updated and informed through the whole process. Can't say enough about how much I appreciate all of her hard work. I am so happy to have someone whom I could trust and who was there to protect my interests Home buying can be stressful and difficult, so choose a realtor whom you trust. I would highly recommend Joni."

"I have worked with Joni Schaber on several house sales and purchases over the last 20 years. Joni has always been very responsive and is excellent at working with the client's time schedules.

Joni is extremely knowledgeable and has made each transaction run as smoothly as possible for real estate. Even during the last minute or unexpected items that come up during transactions, Joni never loses her composure or professionalism. She works through each issue with a calm demeanor and always has her client's best interest in mind.

Joni is honest and has a strong ethical standard, not only for herself, but for the contractors, other agents, lenders, etc., that are involved in the sale or purchase.

I cannot recommend Joni highly enough. When we get the itch to move again - Joni Schaber will be the first one we call!"

"This is our third experience with Joni Schaber as our realtor. She is professional, personable, tenacious, hard working and gets the job done! From the beginning of the sale process through the end she gives her all. Even though we know she had many other listings, she made us feel as though we were her only clients. She is quick to respond to any and all questions, assuring us through each step of the process. Joni does her "homework," keeping up with comps in the neighborhood, fast with getting signage up and visible. She sold our home in 2 weeks! We highly recommend anyone considering selling or buying a home."
