Amanda was very helpful with guiding me through the purchase of my first home.

Her and her team made the process easy and were quick to respond to all the questions and concerns I had. She expresses a strong concern for her clients and ensures they pick the right home with plenty of knowledge on location and things to look out for.

Amanda is a highly efficient professional with a precision team to expedite transactions.

Alchemy Equity LLC (owner)

I’ve worked with Amanda twice; five years ago to buy a home and more recently to sell a rental property that I’ve owned for 33 years.

In both endeavors, I found her to be a very competent and energetic realtor. In buying the home I live in now; she showed me several houses that had features I was looking for, including the location. I was very particular about what I wanted and she kept me busy looking at houses until we found the right place. In selling a house, she does her marketing research, listens to your concerns and ideas, develops a positive marketing plan and works hard to sell your house. In both situations, she kept me well informed about what was happening and promptly answered my emails. If ever I decide to sell the home I’m living in now, she’d be the first person I’d contact.

I just closed on our first ever home with my partner.

There is no shortage of praise we can give to Amanda Bennett and the NextHome team. She is responsive, proactive, knowledgeable, confident, and reliable. What we didn't expect going into the homebuying process was that it could be really fun! Amanda quickly became a friend, and viewing houses with her was something to look forward to on the weekends. It's not just that Amanda herself is capable, but she surrounds herself with other professionals that form an inter-connected web of assets for any potential future homebuyers. From start to finish, we were in very good hands with Amanda and her colleagues, and I cannot recommend them enough if you are looking for an agent to represent you and your family. Thank you, Amanda! We will cherish the memories forever.

Where do I start!

? Amanda took us on about a year and a half again. We were moving from California to Oregon, such a huge move. Anytime we were in the state she was totally willing to show us homes that were out there even though we weren’t ready to move yet. After some twist and turns we decided on a new build, Amanda was so helpful in connecting with them through the home buying process. She traveled to every meeting we had with them, helping us with our celebration mentioning and asking those tough questions. We trust her wholeheartedly, she would do anything for her clients. I would recommend Amanda over and over again. If we ever move, guess who I’m calling!?

Amanda did everything I couldn't!

Kristina Pierce (teacher)

Amanda helped me from start to finish.

She was very available to answer questions and facilitate the process. I would not hesitate to work with her again.

Joseph Parrish

Amanda has helped us sell our 1st house and then found us our second house as well.

Now she is helping us sell our second house and she has been a great realtor to us. If we had any question she would answer them and if she didn't know the answer she would get it and get back to us in a timely fashion. Also she was able to help with referring companies to come out and give bids on jobs or even get some of the work we needed done. I would recommend Amanda 100% and if I ever need to sell a house again I would pick her.

Jay Hulse

Awesome!

Amanda and her team went above and beyond in selling our home.

She guided us every step of the way, from getting the house ready, to staging by her talented stager, to the beautiful photographs. Amanda hosted several open houses. The sale went quickly, smooth and without any problems.

The Yoders

Amanda is awesome, from day one she worked on a selling plan for our home, brought in an excellent team and executed the plan.

She communicated very well throughout the process. Our home was unique, at a higher price point for the area, and required some hand holding. Amanda handled this all professionally and with passion. We highly recommend Amanda should you be looking to sell your property. She went above and beyond to get the job done with our best interest the first priority.

Duane Wilson

Four years ago, Amanda helped us to get our primary home.

And just a month ago we reached out to her to get help to find our second property. As the first time, she's been always engaged to her clients, for every question, every time we needed to check out a home / condo, she's been always available, very flexible. great communication and adviser, and fastest responses, : expending the time for our purchases needs has been amazing. We are so great to have her as our realtor / friend :) Even our 2 little ones love her, and when they hear we are going to see a house, they ask, " is Amanda going to be there? Amanda is so nice!" Keep going the way you are doing Amanda! Thank you so much for everything! Wendy Delgado

Amanda was exceptional!

From the first phone call she was very pro active getting started with the process. She listened to our needs and goals and worked accordingly with us . Amanda took the initiative to ensure repairs and staging were done to help with the sale. Amanda was always accessible and ready to answer any questions when we had them. I would highly recommend Amanda!

Monty Baker (Retired)

We had an amazing experience with Amanda as our realtor.

We were ready to buy our first home but with an unusual down-payment source that added a lot of complications to the process. Amanda was not only extremely knowledgeable about the local housing market, she was also willing to guide us through our unique situation. We are now home owners! If we ever decide to sell and move on we will definitely work with Amanda again.

Liz Stanley

First off, there are not enough words to fully express the amount of gratitude I have for Amanda!

I am moving to OR from out of state and from our very first encounter she felt like a trusted friend! She has an amazing vibe/energy to her that makes you feel at ease and excited in finding your next home. She listened to all my needs/wants/concerns and curated a listing of houses that include my My Dream Home! I respected and appreciated her transparency and honesty when discussing areas to live (since she is a true Oregonian, she is insightful and very knowledgeable!) The road to my home close was not an easy one, but she handled all challenges masterfully. She virtually held my hand, answered ALL my calls/texts/emails with great timeliness and professionalism. I cannot recommend her enough and if I am ever in the market again, she will be my first call!

Romi

In Summary: for any transaction in the Portland, OR area, we would go to Amanda Bennett.

She is highly knowledgeable, efficient, and very personable. She stays in touch and handles others in the transaction with consideration. Her judgement is excellent and she is surrounded by other competent people. Go with Amanda!

We worked with Amanda to purchase a commercial building.

She was a great advocate for us and super easy to communicate with. We appreciated her help in navigating through the process and are excited for our new building!

Liz Banta

Before working exclusively with Amanda, I had put my condo on the market with a rookie real estate agent new to the area and about to start a full-time job unrelated to the industry.

Being a first-time homeowner, this process was new to me and I really had no idea what I was walking into. My condo fell out of escrow twice, and I was now panicking because the inspector had found rats in the attic and I knew I had to work with the HOA (known to be difficult at times) to mitigate the issue. When I made the decision to work with Amanda, she swooped in and calmed the storm. She completely protected me and worked as a buffer. She created a safe space for me to be vulnerable when delivering stressful news and made me feel comfortable enough to be 100% honest with her. She had contacts to drawn on and was incredibly quick to get these subject matter experts in my condo to assess the issue. It was discovered that my neighbor had recently put up bird feeders outside which were against the rules for this very reason. Because of Amanda’s professional approach to informing the HOA of the issue, Amanda made this entire process seamless without a hiccup. She was the main point-of-contact for all parties involved and at my condo almost every day. I was lucky to live in a good community because my neighbor stepped up to taking care of the damages. I don’t think this situation could have turned out any better. Amanda was able to sell this condo while the issue was being addressed. That’s one incredible real estate agent if you ask me. She earned every penny of her commission and I’m happily working with her again to purchase a bigger house. I highly recommend Amanda because she operates in such good-faith, is an expert in her field, transparent and trustworthy to her clients, and willing to go the extra mile to lend a helping hand. Real estate agents like Amanda Bennett deserve our community’s business because she operates in such a high integrity of good-faith. We’re lucky to have her in our community!

Kendra Aker (Senior Marketing Coordinator)

We had the the pleasure of working with Amanda in buying our first home!

Amanda was AMAZING! She was there every step of the way and was super patient with us. She is super flexible and will be there whenever you need her. I highly recommend her and will definitely keep in touch because she is such a great source of information.

Genesis Perez

This process is full of ups and downs, Amanda navigated them all with ease and made us feel comfortable.

She went above and beyond to help us with the selling of our home, getting us ready for showings and providing feedback. Amanda showed us homes we were interested in and found us our dream home. She bent over backwards and was willing to leave no stone unturned to ensure we were able to make both deals work in the timeframe we needed. 10/10 we would recommend Amanda!

Aalon and Janae Clement

Amanda has been a staple in our lives for the past 10 years.

She helped us be first time home buyers into new construction and now years later helped us level up into our #nexthome! We couldn’t ask for a better and more knowledgeable person in the business. Even with tricky timelines of selling and closing- Amanda pulled thru at every opportunity. We couldn’t be happier with our process and that is all thanks to the hard work, quick and accurate communication Amanda provides. THANK YOU AMANDA and team!

Kate Schofer

Amanda was absolutely instrumental and is selling our home.

She made this entire process smooth. We couldn’t have done it without her.

"Amanda is, by far, the BEST agent there is in northern Oregon. She is an agent that always has her client’s back. Not only did she help me sell my condo which was a huge hurtle (please see other review I posted of her), but she helped and supported me in my search for a house. I had a very specific criteria: no HOA, backyard for my dog, preferrable townhome, and $20k in seller credits), and boy did she deliver. It was a rollercoaster ride and at times I felt discouraged because the process was overwhelming and stressful, but she ALWAYS took the time to listen to me. The first house we went into escrow with was the perfect townhome for me. No HOA, backyard, seller accepted $25k in seller credits, townhome, and it had a huge green way behind the backyard which was incredible. Once we were in contract, everything went smoothly until the inspection. The inspection revealed that the roof had less than a year of life left which would probably affect the appraisal. The seller was not willing to replace the roof, so my dream home fell out of escrow. Although I should mention that Amanda had a roofing contact (she has so many contacts!) come out and give me a quote just to get an idea of what this would cost – Amanda knows knowledge is power when negotiating. Amanda and I looked at several other places, but they either had an HOA or the houses were in bad shape. Amanda and I did make an offer on another townhome that had been on the market for four months, but the sellers countered by significantly raising the price. This was a big disappointment, but it also didn’t meet all the criteria (it had an HOA) so this was a blessing in disguise. Amanda jumped on a call with me and just asked for my thoughts about how I was feeling. I was ready to give up on buying a home, but I shared with her my ideal home and kept referring to all the wonderful characteristics the first townhome we were in contract with. She listened, and listened, and listened. Her response was, “it sounds like your heart is really set on the first townhome. Let’s give the seller our final offer and see what happens.” And so, we did. The seller had replaced the roof and had no other offers since we last spoke to him. He was ready to sell and could tell that I really loved this home. The seller accepted our final offer (although he added a couple thousand which really didn’t affect the price) and gave me $20k in seller credits. There couldn’t have been a better outcome and it was all because of Amanda and her great interpersonal communication and strategy skills. Since we were almost done with escrow the first time around, continuing escrow only took a week, and I was moved in the following week. Wow!I am so grateful for Amanda and how she’s nurtured her own industry contacts to be a part a powerhouse team ready to tackle any obstacle. I highly recommend working with Amanda because she’s knowledgeable about the housing market and what to look for when touring a home, transparent and trustworthy, honest and operates in good-faith, and willing to go the extra mile to lend a helping hand. Amanda Bennett (and real estate agents alike) deserve to have the community’s money recycled into her pockets because she operates in such a high integrity of good faith. I highly recommend her, and she will always be my real estate agent. THANK YOU, Amanda! I am incredibly grateful for people like you."
