MYLES FAULKNER

I’ve had the pleasure to know Myles for several years and over the last 18 months been able to work with him when we sold our house and moved to a new one. Both experiences were great. The sales strategies Myles outlined were honest, thoughtful and spoke to the commitment and energy he had put into offering the house. It was a tough time to sell but with a great showing, quality sales materials and his contacts in the industry we were able to sell within our budget and timeline. Myles was again very thorough, patient and committed in the search for our new house. The search was very extensive, over several neighborhoods, multiple price points varying from complete renovations, new construction to move in ready houses. In each case Myles was prepared and ready with a complete picture of the market and crucial in advising our needs. In the end Myles found the perfect house for us, before it came on the market and we were able to secure the home without any competing bids. A perfect ending to some top class service over an extended period of time. I would highly recommend Myles.

Moving across the country to a new city is never easy and can be rather stressful.  Time was of the essence for our family to find a new home and Myles helped us make this transition happen smoothly.

As a buyer I was extremely happy to have Myles Faulkner representing us in a rather difficult negotiation.  The house we fell in love with had been on the market for a while and needed quite bit of repair that the house deserved.  The seller was stuck at a price point and would not budge.  With Myles’ great local resources we were able to present the owner with a honest set of renovation numbers substantiating our position and we quickly came to agreeable offer.  Myles did not stop once the price was accepted though, he knew that we only had a very short period of time to clear any and all violations before they became our liability and set forth doing so.  I think the highest compliment came from the seller’s real estate broker saying what a great job Myles did making the deal come to fruition.

I met Myles when my original Realtor went on maternity leave.  He stepped in right away and we hit it off from the start.  You could say I was somewhat of a “high maintenance” client as I was living in Los Angeles, but looking for a home in Portland.  This was certainly a challenge, but Myles was helpful and upbeat the whole time.  He quickly learned my tastes and was able to rule some prospects in and others out, as I needed to make the most of my brief visits to Portland to see properties.  He was respectful of my time and availability – and dealt with my changing list of requirements without a single complaint.  On several occasions he went to view properties that I had an interest in and then provided me with a report on its suitability.  When we finally did zero in on a house, he made every effort to send me documents that I could review and sign electronically.  His referrals for other services (mortgage broker, home inspector, contractors) were all first rate, which made my remote purchase go smoothly and I didn’t have to spend hours on the phone trying to find the right resource.  I have no hesitation in recommending Myles to others in the market for a Realtor and would go back to him myself should the need arise.

We were really fortunate to find Myles as early as we did in our house-hunting process.  As first-time homebuyers with many questions, concerns, and second-thoughts, it was important that we found somebody that had a wide breadth of knowledge about the area, the process, and the different ways we could go about finding a house for us.

Finding a house turned out to be easy, as Myles listened to our likes and dislikes, wants and needs, and zeroed in on quite a few houses that were really good fits for us.  After finding “our” house, Myles helped us during our negotiations, keeping our best interests at the forefront of his mind, making sure we were comfortable with the process, and efficiently guiding us through it all.

It’s been two years, and Myles is still helping us with contractor recommendations and tips on curb-appeal.  My husband and I both feel that thanks to Myles guidance and knowledge, we found the house that was right for us very quickly and are still confident about every decision he helped us make during that process.

JULES FEDOTA

Jules assisted us in both finding a new home and selling our existing home. In both pursuits, we valued her professionalism, excellent negotiation skills and her ability to be a thoughtful and insightful partner in the home buying and selling process. Jules helped us find our home after nearly three years of looking without success. Throughout the search, she was an attentive listener and excellent communicator. She asked good questions and helped refine our goals so that when the right home came along, we were prepared to act on it. In the sale of our home, Jules was persistent in providing feedback and unflappable through the natural ups and downs of this process. When we had offers, she was diligent to advise and consult with us on many difficult issues and to ultimately find the right buyer.

We have really enjoyed working with Jules. She is a terrific realtor — experienced, knowledgeable, professional and personable. We always feel like she has our best interests in mind.

My husband and I have worked with Jules to help us purchase two rental homes in the last several years. Her services were invaluable in helping us compare houses that were in a good area, met rental criteria and felt like a home. She was able to show us houses at short notice as we were competing in a popular area and price range. In addition, she was in frequent contact with our mortgage broker on our behalf to make sure all of the numbers made sense – something invaluable to us, as we both work and have a young child. After we found the perfect rental and our offer was accepted, Jules was able to negotiate with a very difficult seller to help close the deal and make the house ready for renters, never complaining about all the extra hours she put in on our behalf. After growing up with a dad who was a real estate agent, previously working with other brokers and then having the experience of working with Jules on two separate occasions, we fully recommend Jules as an amazing agent. She will help you find a great house as well as balance price, requirements, and location while always going the extra mile.

Jules is a true professional. Her enthusiam, knowledge, experience, and excellent communication skills made our home-selling process easy and enjoyable. Jules’ follow up after the sale of our house was exceptional as well. She gave our daughter wooden letters that spell her name for her new bedroom and gave us the gift of receiving fresh fruit from Hood River each month. This type of personal touch and caring is so often lacking in today’s business environment. I recommended Jules to a friend, who in turn hired her as well. My friend has been equally impressed with Jules and said she is outstanding! I could not agree more.

Dawn Terrill

While anyone will tell you that selling one’s home is pretty high on the stress scale, working with Jules actually made the entire process almost enjoyable. She was honest, direct, and professional, as well as being a darn nice person; her recommendations and advice proved to be right on target. She went “above and beyond” many times, even coming to our home on a weekend to help pull carpet tacks. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Jules and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone with home real estate needs.

When we met Jules Fedota, we immediately knew we had found someone smart, talented, passionate, and driven to guide us through the complex world of real estate. Even with our limited price range and long list of must-haves, Jules hit the pavement with a vengeance, showing us a wide range of homes we could afford and never taking us out of our comfort zone. We happened to find our dream home early in the search, and Jules was able to help calm our nerves and be analytical about the purchase, without trying to persuade us one way or the other. After we made the decision to buy, she moved quickly and facilitated negotiations like the pro she is to get us exactly what we wanted and more. Now that we are certified homeowners, we’ve learned how valuable a personal relationship with a broker can be.
