Why Rise Above Realty?

I hired Ann to sell my home & business. We had multiple offers and it was a fairly complicated situation. She handled it very professionally. I’ve referred her to multiple people with great success. She was very creative in problem solving and was respectful of everyone’s time.

And Samuelson worked so hard and quickly for us! We started looking at homes in May and were in a new one, keys in hand, by mid July! Ann worked diligently to not only find us our home but to make sure we knew both the high points and low points of each house we looked at. She doesn’t want to just sell houses, she really cared about finding us a home and listened to what our priorities were. She always answered our calls to her or promptly called us back. She helped through the whole process and took the time to explain the steps. Our first housewarming gift was from her, a basket of goodies and a sign that we promptly displayed in our walkway, “Some people call this chaos, we call it family.” Highly recommend her and would use her again.

As first time home buyers we were completely lost on the process and how it worked. Rene was amazingly patient, took us to all different kinds of places all over the county looking for one that would work in our tight budget and with our FHA loan. She is very knowledgeable regarding the area, and even had a contact who could help us with our financing.

She got us a great deal on a beautiful house and was able to negotiate all the conditions for us without a problem. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the clatsop county area.

My partner and I decided to buy our first home mid 2022. We had an idea of what we were looking for but didn’t have an agent. Fortunately after viewing our first home we were connected with Kasha. She was absolutely wonderful. She never showed us a house out of our price range and never steered us in the wrong direction. Any questions we asked were promptly answered. After 6 or so months of looking we finally found the home we wanted. Kasha was there every step of the way to make sure we got the best deal possible. She was diligent throughout the negotiation process and never settled. She even helped us pick a great lender that helped us nail down our monthly payment. I would recommend Kasha to anyone looking for an honest, hardworking, selfless real estate agent. We appreciate everything she did for us.

Kasha is salt of the earth and always keeps things real with you. She has your best interest and the particulars of your situation in mind through the entire home buying and selling process. We’re about to have a baby and she made sure to do everything in her power to get us into our home just in time. We knew we were in good hands from the start and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will be recommending her to all my friends and family.

Kasha was fabulous from the go! I emailed a random agent to see a house where I didn’t have an agent to see one house. She got right away and had already done the research to answer the questions from my email i.e zoning, permits for work done, possibilities or plans for the vacant lots across the street. She is from Astoria for 4 generations and is able to coordinate to get everything done in a timely manor. She is timely and attentive, professional and friendly, knowledgeable and efficient making my transaction smooth and with out a hiccup closing in 30 days. She truly made this deal happen with her savvy negotiation skills!
