Rex Buchanan – Portland Realty Team Better Homes & Gardens

Rex Buchanan is a real estate rock star. Summary: Met Rex 3 years ago. In that time we have bought our first and second house with him and his team. He has CRUSHED it for us. 2 homes. 2 ridiculously great deals on homes my wife and I adore. Real estate knowledge, work ethic and honesty are all perfect 10’s.

I first spoke with Rex when I was living in Seattle and anticipating a move to the more awesome city of Portland. I knew from that conversation that he was our guy. It was a year later that my wife and I begin looking at houses with him. Buying a first home is an intimidating prospect but he was so good at making the process enjoyable and really helped us understand the complex process and there was never any pressure. He made it clear how important it was to feel good about the home we might buy and encouraged us to take our time when we had some cold feet at the start. We looked at homes on and off with Rex for several months. He excels at finding the right properties that match your wants and your budget. His patience and guidance found us our first home that we have lived in for over two years now. We have loved it since the day we moved in.
More recently we bought a second home. Being a vacation property, our mortgage was significantly different and more complex. Again, the Portland Reality Team made it happen and worked seamlessly with our superstar mortgage broker (Gary Boyer) when things got tricky.
Rex is a true real estate expert and he and his talented team fought on our behalf during both home purchases. We were fortunate enough to get some huge «wins» and it was his expertise and experience of knowing when to push or pull back that made our deals happen. And man, he and his team worked quickly when the heat was on. We really can’t ever thank him enough. If you are buying a home or just thinking of buying a home, do yourself a big favor and get in touch with Rex!

I bought my first home from Rex recently. It was a year long saga due to my changing my mind constantly and my work schedule which sees me outside the country for about half the year a month at a time.
Rex did a great job hunting down properties, educating me, steering me clear of bad places and pointing out real problems that I never would have noticed.
He and his excellent team did a great job acting as a good sheppard for me and my money and I will use his service again in the future and would recommend him without reservation to my family and friends.

Rex and his team rocked my house — summer of ’11… the bottom of the bottom for sellers. Invited to give constructive criticism for me to do whatever it took to sell my house, he gave me a very doable list. His advice payed off big time. Especially since our neighbors (with exactly the same size (4 bed/​3 bath) — 2500 sq ft. put their totally dialed in house on the market 3 weeks after we did… I mean… give a guy a break!
Rex’s professionalism was top notch. and put to the test — as the transaction was hampered a bit by the buyer’s somewhat flaky agent.
In the end, we closed on ours just a couple weeks after our neighbors did — only we got $ 15k more! Thank you very much Rex! Now… let’s find me my next home!

Rex and his team are wonderful. He just sold a recent home of mine for $ 20,000 more than asking price and better yet he helped me find my newest home in SE. I love my new home it is very me. It is nice to feel settled in finally. The process was very easy with Rex and his team. I loved how they were able to send me documents on line to sign– what an innovation, I wish all agents would use this tool! It saves so much time going to and from the office or dealing with a fax machine. Rex has great connections to people in the community, and I have found a great knowledgeable and reliable carpenter to use for some home improvement for my 50’s ranch. Overall a 5 star experience. Thanks Rex!
