Judith Rolfe-RE/MAX Equity Group-Broadway Office

I moved to Portland in March of 2013 with my husband and two small daughters. A friend of a friend referred Judith to me and we began working together over the phone before we moved. She helped us find a great house in an amazing neighborhood while we were still living in California. We flew in to see the house we liked and though there was another offer the same day, she got it for us.
After a year in Portland we decided we wanted a bigger home, more yard and a more urban neighborhood and she found it and again, she got it for us, despite other offers. I also, purchased a rental property from her in Summer of 2014 and once again, with more than one offer, she got it for us.
Additionally, when we sold the first home we purchased, She sold it for almost 15% more than we paid. And all 3 of the houses we purchased from her, even though there were competing bids, we got for under asking.
Not only is she EXTREMELY skilled and knowledgable, she is a fierce negotiator and as honest as the day is long. On a personal note, she is a lovely person and she and her team are so great to work with and spend time with. I could not recommend her more highly. In fact, I would never use anyone else in Portland.

Judith and her team were invaluable. Selling my house has made a lot of things possible for me that I’ve been dreaming about, and that would not have happened without them.
I thought for a minute about selling it myself and had a very honest talk with Judith about the pros and cons. She was incredibly supportive of my doing what was best for me and made me feel comfortable. Thank goodness I realized it was hiring her to do the work. She did it well. They dealt with everything that came up, acted as a support system to me and negotiated on my behalf when some incredibly difficult situations entered the process. I came out on top :) The open house was packed, the price was fair (and good) and they got me a selling price that far exceeded my expectations (in 5 days!).
This team is very good at what they do! Don’t miss the opportunity to rock your house sale. I could not have been happier.

I have chosen Judith Rolfe as my realtor for both buying and selling homes 6 times in the last 10 years. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. She is really great at listening to what my concerns, needs and wants are with each transaction. I have complete faith that she will review everything in a timely manner. Her business savvy and great sense of people have been great assets in our negotiations. I trust her and listen to her advice. She also brings with her fabulous assistants. They are all hard working, efficient, fast-​acting, and always there-​for-​you. They make an exceptional team.

I think there are lots of great realtors out there who work hard and want the best for their clients, but there’s only one who is perfect, and that’s Judith Rolfe. In 2012, when I sold my old house (which was during a tough time) she made suggestions about how to improve its appeal that did not require a lot of money and time. We did everything she said, and the house sold in just a few days to a great family who offered more than the asking price. Then, Judith and her incredible assistant, Liz, took care of everything (including meeting with repair and inspection people) until closing.
I was so impressed with Judith and Liz that I used them when wanted to buy a home this year. There was limited inventory in my price range, that didn’t stop them from putting as much effort into my search and offer as they do for people buying enormous houses. In fact, Judith even called me late at night to get me signed up for a down-​payment assistance program that she had just found out about. Because of her, I was able to get into this program and could afford a better house. Then on top of that, she was a phenomenal negotiator, and got the sellers to make some significant and expensive improvements to the house as part of the deal. Now we are in a fantastic place with a reasonable mortgage, and it’s all because of Judith.
Throughout the processes of selling and buying, Judith did not candy-​coat anything. She gave us the straight scoop. She was clear, knowledgeable, and very practical. She is an excellent negotiator, and your priorities are her priorities. When you are making the biggest financial decisions of your life, it is a profound relief to know that Judith is on your side. I enthusiastically recommend Judith (and Liz) to anyone who needs a realtor. She’s the best!
