We had a home for sale in Portland, OR. As we all know, there are innumerable real estate brokers and agents for prospective buyers and sellers to choose from. I interviewed several including, Stephen FitzMaurice. A couple I interviewed, even offered a lower commission than Stephen. But from lessons' learned, paying less too often means getting less in return. But with Stephen FitzMaurice and his uber-capable executive assistant, Jennifer, I really lucked out. As it sometimes just happens, the process of selling our house was not as direct as we would have hoped. But through the steady guidance of Stephen and Jennifer, based upon their years of experience, and their unwavering patience with an impatient home-owner (moi), as well as, their sage advice, we sold the house for $50,000 more than our original asking price! I am not making this up. Obviously, that alone makes me very happy. But if I can impress upon anyone who is contemplating hiring Stephen and his team it is this: Throughout the process, Stephen and Jennifer gave me a sense of security that I was in the hands of two highly capable, caring individuals who were going to do whatever was necessary to take the burden off me, and get the house sold. I thank them for that. I could not be more pleased and give them my highest recommendation.

Stephen got competing offers for our house in just 1 week, the entire process went as stress free as I could imagine. I couldn't make a stronger recommendation than to go with Stephen and his team.

We had a wonderful experience working with Stephen. We followed his recommendations and sold within 4 days of listing at above listing price! We never believed it would happen so quickly or that we would attract so many great offers. We could not be happier with the outcome. We initially weren't certain of our selling timeline but Stephen listened and was respectful of our needs. He provided advice in the meantime. That was really helpful. We knew we were going to sell, just not when, so we followed his advice in clearing out the house and getting it into open house condition. When we were ready to sell, he provided updated market specs and recommendations. Again, we think the house sold so quickly at a great price because of Stephen's recommendations. Thanks again Stephen!

My wife & I were looking for an honest realtor that would offer us (the seller) a fair price and at the same time implement outstanding service in the selling our home. We found Stephen FitzMaurice. We knew that in our neighbor there was lots of competition with 10 homes for sale. Stephen told us that with the home priced fairly and proper promotion the home could sale within a month or two. I thought that might be a tall order. Knowing that Stephen was one of the preeminent agents in the area we decided to trust him. Within 3 weeks we had a cash offer for the full asking price. The house was sold 11 days later. We have a rental that we will be selling in the future and Stephen FitzMaurice will be our agent. I can't recommend Stephen highly enough.

The best thing about Stephen is that he has used his experience to fine-tune a process that is efficient and lucrative for selling houses. He invests in the advertising/marketing aspects of the sale (e.g. visibility on all websites, professional photos, etc) which translates into a quick sale for possibly more than another realtor. I was extremely satisfied with this. We sold our house within 2 days for more that I would have expected. He also gave good advice on what we should focus on in home improvements before it went on the market. The only word of caution that I have is that he doesn't hold your hand' as much as another dealer. He's very responsive to any requests, but the personal touch is lighter than other realtors. For me, this was a perfect match (I didn't want much of that) but if your personality type wants to be close to your realtor you may want to go with someone else.

We hired Stephen to list our house and had a great experience working with him and his assistant Jennifer. We listed in a very hot market, the house was only active for three days before we received multiple offers and accepted one above asking. We really needed a 60 day rent back to give us enough time to find a new house. Jennifer was awesome and went back and forth between the two best offers to get us the highest price and the rent back period that we needed. The only thing that was somewhat surprising for us was that once we received offers on our house we didn't work with Stephen, we worked exclusively with Jennifer to get the deal closed. That turned out to be fine because Jennifer was awesome to work with; she is extremely good at her job and is very responsive and easy to work with. Although our interaction with Stephen was somewhat limited, he was always available for questions and was good about getting back to us quickly. I would definitely recommend using Stephen and Jennifer to list your home.

My husband and I highly recommend Stephen FitzMaurice for your real estate needs. His response to phone calls and emails was immediate. Jennifer was a pleasure to work with and did an outstanding job keeping us updated on what was happening at all times. Extremely professional, courteous, and efficient! Thank you, Jennifer and Stephen! We are so happy to have our home sold.

Stephen and Jennifer make an excellent team! Based on their expertise, we were able to price our home right and the offers streamed in, from day one. We will not hesitate to use their services in the future! Keep up the great service!

Stephen's office was a great support through the whole process of selling my home. Stephen is an absolute professional and well prepared with knowledge of the Portland home market. His team provided me with prompt communication and put me in contact with home professionals as I needed them to prepare my home for a speedy sale. The process of selling my home has been a positive experience. I'm happy I found Stephen. I would work with Stephen again, and certainly recommend his services to any individual looking for a sharp and honest seller's agent. Go Stephen!

I found Steven when googling Portland housing market. His articles demonstrated current knowledge of the market and flexible thinking. The Realtor I used when I last sold in 2007 didn't realize the market was changing, and gave me poor advice. A Realtor who sells an average of 2 houses a week is in great touch with the market. Steven's photographer took great photos for the listing. The interior photos looked better than real life. The attractive photos and directness of the text made for a great RMLS listing, which generates the interest to view the house. I saved almost $5K on commissions, and don't think a full fee Realtor would have sold it any quicker or for a higher price. I will use Steven again.

Stephen and Jennifer were awesome to work with, they truly exceeded my expectations. My house went on the market on a Wednesday and by Thursday morning, I had two offers. Their communication style and marketing talent really helped with this quick sale… I appreciate them very much and I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting the best agent around!

Look no further…This team is top notch. They are fast, friendly, thorough, profession, reasonable and competent. I couldn't believe how easy it was for me as a seller to complete the sale of our home. I would recommend them to anyone. I had so many bids, I didn't know which one to choose. Thank you so much for making our sale such a wonderful experience. If you are looking for an agent to get the job done for you, these are the folks to contact.

First rate service for a bargain price. Very painless and easy for us as a seller. Our house sold within our hopeful timeline and above our target price. I would use Stephen and his team again in a heartbeat, and I highly recommend his services to others looking to sell their home. They definitely know how to sell a house.

Stephen was awesome. He had my property listed in 3 days after my meeting with him and sold the property in 4 days above the listing price. He was very responsive to my requests and was always on the ball.

Stephen and his team did a great job getting my house sold. He came in with real data and suggestions for how to get the most value out of the home. If I would have only selected him when I tried to sell back in October of 2015 I would have gotten even more money for my house.

It's easy to see why Stephen sells so many homes. Besides being a genuinely nice person, he is also a true professional. From expert analysis of current market conditions at our first meeting, right on through negotiations with multiple bidders and a successful close, we couldn't have asked for any higher level of service than what we received from Stephen and his assistant Jennifer. I would not hesitate to recommend Stephen and his team to anyone looking to sell property in the Portland area.

From the initial contact through every aspect of the marketing and then the sales process, including negotiation, Steve and his crew were just great! He was diligent in keeping us in the loop, forthright in his advice, and showed great attention to detail (and there were many details!). I would without reservation, encourage anyone considering listing their property with a realtor to get in touch with “The Stephen Fitzmaurice Team.”

Stephen and Jennifer were wonderful to work with. They provided to me a step by step plan/agenda, and I knew what to expect throughout the process. I would recommend them to friends and family, and use them again as well.
