What should you expect when working with me? Here are some comments from past clients.  

"Blake is absolutely the best in the business. At the encouragement of my husband who had worked with him in the past, I contacted Blake to purchase an investment property in downtown Portland. He is knowledgable, hard working and extremely in-tune with the local real estate market (and a great negotiator too).

Over the years I've bought and sold a dozen or more properties with various agents and Blake is at the top of the list of people I've worked with. I would absolutely encourage anyone in the market to contact him."   - Krysta F

"Blake was a terrific help finding and buying my house. He made the process painless. He's very easy to work with and made the experience fun. Blake is very responsive and I felt good knowing that he was in my corner, looking out for my best interests. Blake was also a great help overseeing pre-sale repairs and ensuring that all work was done to the highest standards. I highly recommend Blake Ellis."  - Jeff L

"As I told Blake, I honestly believe that I wouldn't have gotten my place sold at my price without him as my Realtor. What impressed me the most was the positive approach he took to every aspect of the process, even though as we all know, there is plenty to be pessimistic about in the current market. I had bought and sold a number of properties prior to this with other Realtors and came across Blake almost by accident, but I'm very glad that fate sent him my way. If I buy another property you can bet I'll have Blake represent me in that process as well."   - Brian F

"Blake was superb in getting our condo sold in a very tough market. The flyers were very well done, he managed to get a photo placed in a magazine spread, and he kept us informed throughout the process of comparable units that were on the market and/or sold. When the deal was close to falling apart, Blake went the extra mile to facilitate everything with the condo HOA, the buyer's agent, and the buyer in order to get things back on track."  -Wu Chang F

"Speaking as first time buyer, Blake Ellis made this process absolutely seamless, easy and most importantly enjoyable. The combination of Blake’s wealth of knowledge of the market, of my now current neighborhood, his diligence and attention to details reassured me that I had the right guy on my side. In addition, I was consistently comforted by the fact that I knew he also had my best interest in mind; which was echoed in his clear understanding of what I was looking for. Like the other comments, bottom line I highly recommend Blake Ellis to anyone who is on the market to purchase a property."  - Kevin L

"Blake Ellis recently helped us through our first time home buying experience...and we couldn't have been in better hands! Blake took the time to get to know us and our expectations, took initiative and sent listings matching our criteria and adjusted as we better understood what we wanted.

Blake made each showing exciting and was able to not only "keep up" with our extensive lists of showings, but at the end of the day when we were tired Blake stayed positive and optimistic. Blake made each showing productive and ultimately we found our house by the third outing. Because of his flexibility, communication, and expertise in the whole pocess, we felt confident in Blake's negotiation skills and couldn't be happier with the deal we got!

Did I also mention, Blake has great references for all other aspects of the home buying process? 

Needless to say we have been talking about Blake and encouraging our friends who visit our new home to meet him... We look forward to buying our next home wtih Blake!"  - Annie T

"I have recently purchased a condo in the Pearl dist. and was impressed of Blake's knowledge of the neighborhood and each building and his experience being an agent. If I were to buy any property around this area again, I'll go to this young man for sure."  - Danny W

"Blake Ellis has managed both the sales and purchasing side for three of my family properties, in the past year alone. He is truly at the highest level of standards and professionalism. Blake's diligence, attention to detail and marketing skill-set, in tandem with his vast understanding of the local marketplace, leaves him unmatched by any of his predecessors. He is a motivated, 'no bull' individual, who has earned his place as my permanent Realtor. Bottom line, I would recommend Blake to anyone in need of a quality real estate agent."  - Derek M

"Blake Ellis has helped me purchase two homes in Oregon. Comparative to other agents that I've worked with, for his young age, he is an extremely sharp agent. He follows-thru, communicates well, and just gets things done. Also, he is extremely honest, upfront, and a good negotiator -- always protecting value."  - Adam H
