Real Estate is FUN:

SUNNY PORTLAND DAYS- Please Stay!! Got to host an open house, soak up the sun, and talk with some cool folks about our unique market and how to play in this real estate game! (with masks, hand sanitizer and social distancing of course) #hostesswithth

Loving my weekends with fun buyers who will test out counters and slip and slide with me! This market is tough for buyers who have to finance with offers going way over asking or eliminating contingencies that are there to protect buyers. I'm loving

#ilovemyclients and I loved that we had a break between homes near my neighborhood and they were able to meet my chickens!! Fun fact- I'm actually a little egg intolerant- which means my clients score with some homegrown eggs 🥚 every time we meet up

Another great countertop chill spot for those kitchen hangs!#tryitbeforeyoubuyit #heycutehouse #thankyouclients #funwhileshopping #realtorapproved #oregonhomes #pdxhomes #portlandhomes #pdxrealtor #pdxrealtorcarmen #PNWrealtorCARMEN

What others are saying…

Carmen is the best! As a first time home buyer the real estate market was terrifying. However, Carmen made the whole experience far easier than I could have imagined. She was always willing to check out listings all over and consistently had an amazing and positive attitude. If you want your realtor experience to be easy, and on top of that fun, look no further!

My family experienced a life changing emergency that required us to get into an appropriate home ASAP. A previous co-worker recommended Carmen to us, and suddenly we were in our perfect, amazing new home within 6 weeks -- which I believe is about as fast as you can accomplish purchasing a home. We had issues that came up during escrow that felt defeating, and Carmen guided us through identifying what was critical and what we could easily handle on our own. Carmen knows her real estate law, she knows the timeframes of when items must be completed, and she knows how to remain in constant contact without overwhelming in the stressful details going on behind the scenes. We highly recommend Carmen and will be using her again for future purchases.

Carmen is an incredible realtor. I've purchased 5 houses in my lifetime and this experience was by far the best. I'd been looking at houses for over a year and Carmen was never pushy and always game to go see a place. When I finally found "the one", it was smack in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and Carmen was great about making sure we were safe and following appropriate protocol. I remember eavesdropping on her first call to the seller's realtor; she was professional and yet inquisitive and very naturally got to the root of what they were looking for. I'm certain those very strategic questions are what won us the ability to craft the winning offer! I will definitely use Carmen again.

If you’re considering a realtor stop right now because you found her. I worked with Carmen to buy my FIRST HOME! Woohoo! Early this year and she was incredible.

From tirelessly finding new potential homes to look at, too working with me on financing, and even following through with helping coordinate renovations after the purchase went through she was the most amazing resource.

I could never have asked for a better partner in my home buying journey. She had my best interest at heart every step of the way, pointing out things that might be an issue 5 years down the line. She truly cared about how me and my son would make this home our place.

She approached the whole process with love and thoughtfulness and was so diligent in paperwork that I couldn’t keep up. But she helped me through that too (I’m not super organized so she kept the craziness in line).

You won’t find a better realtor, she cares so deeply about putting you in a home that you care about and it is a really inspiring journey using Carmen as your realtor. Thank you Carmen, I love my new home and you made it possible!

Carmen was incredible to work with! She was responsive, smart, empathetic, driven, and extremely supportive of us throughout our home-buying process. I always knew that if I had a question, Carmen would go the extra mile to respond as soon as possible with helpful answers. She helped us get a fantastic price for our home and gave us great advice to make sure we closed the deal. I highly highly recommend Carmen for anyone looking to buy a home!

Carmen was an incredible realtor during my first-time home buying experience. The real estate market was intimidating but she let me navigate it at my own pace. She has great energy, is supportive, and asks all the right questions. Carmen even went out in the snow for one of our first tours!

I very much enjoyed working with Carmen. She was on top of the listings and constantly on the lookout for houses that she thought we may have missed. She was willing to drive all over town to look at houses that fell into simply "possible" but not "perfect" categories. The primary reason I wanted to work with Carmen is that I know she has the drive to get her clients to the goal line. There were many late nights that I felt like I should not be on a conference call with her, but she never made me feel like I was intruding. I also very much appreciated that she worked directly with our lender to get the closing down sooner than our anticipated date. And to top it off, she is such a sweet human being.

Carmen was AMAZING! She was there with us every step of the way, pulling late nights and weekends to make our dream home come together. She offered sage advice and helped us feel comfortable in a very new and scary experience. (We'd never bought a home before.) HIGHLY recommend!!

My husband and I have bought and sold multiple houses over the years. Carmen Willcox has been by far the best realtor we have worked with to date. Carmen has a fantastic eye for details and gave us great advice about how best to present our home for sale. We had four offers in three days and closed quickly above our asking price!
