Thank you for helping us find our family’s new home!. Doug listens to his clients. When we relocated to Portland, we wanted an older home with a garage, large yard and a basement we could finish for our sons. No small feat. Unlike other agents, Doug didn't try to sell us something easier to find. Instead, he scoured the city and found us our dream home - a 1927 beauty with lots of potential near Mt. Tabor.

I recommend Doug Beebe for real estate ventures in the Portland, OR metro area, he is quite qualified and highly skilled, we have used him more than once to buy spec homes.

Doug is the consummate professional. He is very savvy about internet marketing - a real plus in this market - and is thoroughly knowledgeable about current market conditions. He excels at helping his clients prepare their home before listing. He works very hard for his clients. I would recommend him to anyone ready to list their home, or who would like someone to help them.

We interviewed three different agents before deciding to work with Tom Cotter and Doug Beebe to purchase a new home and sell our old one, a 1906 Victorian in the Hawthorne Area of Portland. While the others certainly had solid credentials, and similarly sold themselves as neighborhood experts, Tom and Doug showed they truly understood the vintage home they were dealing with, and how to prepare and sell it to the right buyer in a very finicky market. We worked primarily with Tom day-to-day, with Doug's support on our overall selling strategy and in open houses. What was most meaningful to us throughout our engagement was Tom's warm professionalism and positivity. We had multiple failed sales due to buyers' loan issues or cold feet after inspection (our sticky wickets were a very tight/steep staircase and a 100 year old brick foundation). With each transaction, we felt we were very well represented as sellers, and that Tom truly cared to achieve the best result for our family. He finds a great balance between selling with urgency (we were balancing two mortgages after quickly securing our new "dream house"), and having the patience to get the right price. With so many ups and downs, Tom helped us pull everything back together, take lessons from it, and soldier on. We had a great personal connection (our toddlers couldn't get enough of "Tall Tom") and were ultimately very pleased with the final sale.

Tom impressed us as approachable, accessible and knowledgeable. Most of all he has that indefinable knack for making you feel as though you are his only client and he is working for your best interest more than his own. Our father who died in early 2010 had a small home he had lived in since 1951. Organizing its belongings and its renovation with the contractors who helped us with those things was a large part of his role. His knowledge and sensitivity for our childhood was an enormous help. From the first time Tom entered the home he treated us with dignity and sensitivity. He thoroughly outlined all that needed to be done for the sale, all while keeping us in control. Some recommendations initially made us apprehensive (decommissioning an oil tank, an evaluation of the sewer system) because of the cost. But in Tom's kind and sensitive manner, and Tom's great working history with contractors we soon realized that it was in our best interest to follow his advice. These decisions we never regretted. It is amazing to us that, while selling a home which had been occupied by a 92-year-old widower of failing health, the journey of house preparation and sale and inspection could move so smoothly. This is entirely due to Tom Cotter. All of Tom's predictions, timeframes, and instincts were spot on. All of them. The house sold in less than 2 weeks and we now have a valued friend in Tom - someone we would highly recommend again and again. As we drive past the house which is now occupied by a new owner, we continue to see the outcome of Tom Cotter's gifts.

Doug did an absolutely brilliant job for us in quickly selling our Pearl District condo. Through exceptional marketing, perfect pricing and an intense campaign to leverage the Living Room network, Doug was able to get the right buyers into the condo quickly. At every step of the process, Doug was professional, diligent and a delight to work with. We strongly recommend Doug and Tom for any Portland area real estate transaction.
