In our business the greatest possible compliment we receive comes in the form of a referral. We don't know all the answers, nor are we perfect, but for these clients and many more we have exceeded all expectations and made sure that they were happy and we completed the transaction with our utmost honesty, integrity, and professionalism. We will always be thankful to all our clients and look forward to earning the respect and appreciation of many more including you as we continue to be successful as professional Realtors. "Thank You"; often times does not seem like enough, but we are forever grateful. John and Michelle Leiby
I found John to be extremely professional and knowledgeable with the real-estate market in Portland and the surrounding areas. He went above and beyond many times during the time my house was on the market. He tried different venues to market my house and was willing to do whatever it took to successfully sell my home. Selling a house is a very stressful time and John tried many times to ease my nerves with positive support. He was always willing to do open houses or speak to me at any given time. He was very knowledgeable with the process of selling a home and walked me through the entire process from A-Z which gave me a peace of mind that I was doing everything correct. I highly recommend John and can assure you that you won’t be disappointed if you chose him as your Realtor.

After a failed attempt by the first realtor to sell our house, Michelle & John Leiby were recommended by a mutual friend. Not only were they successful, but they were always available to answer questions & guide us with our endeavors. We would definitely use them again and continue to recommend them.

Michelle and John Leiby were a pleasure to work with in selling our condo in Portland. Michelle was always quick to respond to any and all questions during the sale process, and there were many! They sold our condo quickly under tough conditions, and I believe the buyers are as pleased as we are with their thoroughness. We have bought and sold many homes over the years, and they helped make it a very positive experience. Thank you, Michelle and John!

It was through a leap of faith that we found Michelle and John Leiby. They were recommended by a friend and we took a chance. How fortuitous for us! My sister and I were looking in the surrounding areas of Portland with just vague ideas about the neighborhoods. Her knowledge of Portland helped us understand what would be ideal for us. Michelle gently guided us to a property in West Linn which was absolutely perfect. Michelle and John also skillfully helped us navigate through a potential bidding war that resulted in the purchase of our ideal home. We never once felt pressured and always sensed her priority was our best interests. We love our new home and feel grateful to have had such a capable team. They are, simply, the best!

John Leiby is awesome to work with- he would show me homes at short notice and never pushed me into buy a home that didn’t feel right. Even when I would be willing to see past some of the issues he would keep encouraging me keep looking till I found the right one! He also help me sell me previous house, everything went smoothly and John went out of the way to always explain the process and all my options at every step. I would highly recommend in having John help you find your dream home and sell your old one.

This year my wife and I decided to relocate from the East Coast to the Oregon/Washington State area. We were very fortunate to select John Leiby as our broker/agent.
During a week long visit to Portland John rearranged his schedule to accommodate ours and showed us over 50 homes. He is very knowledgeable of the Portland and Washington housing environment and is extremely conscientious in satisfying his client's needs as well as responsive to questions and requests.
Through John's efforts and assistance we were able to purchase a home in Camas WA which is being constructed. John's perseverance was essential in negotiations with the builder that were advantageous for us.

John always went above and beyond to be attentive to detail in explaining every step of the process and giving valuable advice on selecting a property. As first time home buyers we had a lot of questions and concerns but John guided us through the process to the perfect house. He always made himself available for house showings and was awesome to work with through the inspection period, even giving us a list of detailed instructions on how to address small issues ourselves. We appreciated the attention and will be recommending him to everyone!

What a ride! John helped us purchase a short-sale that took about a total of 7 months to close. He also helped us sell our house prior to that and it was a difficult home to sell! While we were waiting on the short-sale to close, John continued to show us other possibilities in the event that the short-sale fell through. He never once complained about the amount of time that he was dedicating to us through the process. He was always checking in with the listing agent and trying to determine where we were in the process and what we could do to get it moving more quickly. It was a very frustrating process but John kept us rational and gave us good options to consider when dealing with each road block that came up. Thank you John for all your hard work and patience.

In my life, I have worked with many realtors. John Leiby is head and shoulders above all the rest. It impresses me that he managed all the "behind the scenes" arrangements and bureaucracy without any hassle to me. He is a very smart man who is polite and respectful with a sense of humor. He cared about me and my situation and clearly communicated every important thing to me, as it happened. I never had to remind him or prod him about anything. He was always one step ahead and on time with everything. He knows the system and navigates it expertly. The side-benefit is that he is someone that I would pick to be my friend.

John,
Just a note to once again express our thanks and appreciation to you. Not just for your work, your expertise, your faithful persistence, but for you. I have a feeling many others would have walked away from this, and yet you persevered, even when taking less commission. We could not have accomplished this without your guidance and ongoing work, and we are very grateful. We will share your name and speak your praises to any and all we know that may need a realtor in your area. Thank you again, and blessings on you and your family in the future!
Peace,
John & Stephanie E.

John is amazing. He currently has my house listed as a short sale, and he has been very consistent in marketing my home. He has kept me informed of the process the whole way through. Sometimes I think he is crazy for working with the banks the way he does, but he is very patient and the process has gone according to what John has said it would. I would highly recommend John and all that he has to offer. He came as a referral from my sister and I will be sharing his name with others as well. Thanks John you have been great and it is my honor to recommend you to my friends and family.

When one retires, we are faced with may decisions. Mine was either move now, or not at all. After not selling with my first agent, I was doubtful it was going to happen. Thankfully I was referred to John and he was able to better explain the process and what it was going to take to sell my home. John got it sold, and restored my faith in Realtors. He is the best.
