Blake was great to work with. He helped us find the perfect condo for our family. He is so knowledgeable of the Portland area and was great to communicate with. We would highly recommend working with Blake, you will be happy and he won't let you down.

Blake acted quickly and professionally to guide us through the process of listing our rental property and getting it sold. He used his contacts in the industry to have a offer before the tenants moved out and prior to listing in the mls. We sold for more than we had expected to, and even though we are out of state the closing process went smoothly and right on schedule. I highly recommend Blake if you are looking for experience, knowledge, and a direct approach to real estate.

Blake is a highly talented real estate agent and definitely knows the business, whether you're selling or buying, you won't be disappointed. My wife and I flew up to Portland from San Diego for a weekend to view and hopefully purchase a second home in the city. Before the weekend was over we were the proud new owners of a Portland condo.

I am very pleased to recommend Blake Ellis for a home sale. He was very professional as well as being an extremely nice person. He listed and sold our property in less than 2 months. He had a vast knowledge of our type of property which was needed when he had to navigate very complicated issues with our condo.

Sold a home in 2012.
I listed my place with Blake, and I did not think I could sell it because of the market and the economy. But Blake pushed forward and did and amazing job taking great photos and marketing it well. In 5 weeks I had a full price offer!
I also used him to buy my current property, which was a short sale therefore it was really up to the seller's bank etc.

Bought a Single Family home in 2011 for approximately $375K in Northwest Heights, Portland, OR.
We enjoyed working with Blake. When we started our search we knew we wanted to live somewhere in NW Portland but we were undecided about whether to buy a Condo in The Pearl or a home in Forest Heights. My wife and I work Nike and Intel so we were trying to find a great location with the least painful commute. Blake did an awesome job showing us a bunch of properties helping us figure out what was best for us.
In the end, we decided to purchase a home in Forest Heights. The first property we had under contract was a fixer upper. Blake did a heck of a job negotiating price and in the end it failed inspection due to water damage. We were bummed out but Blake stayed positive and never applied any pressure to buy. The next house under contract was a short-sale. Blake guided us through the entire process and we had the keys within 90 days!
There are many reasons I would recommend Blake. He's very knowledgeable about Portland, especially NW. He has a wealth of information about the local neighborhoods and he knows so much about the buildings in the Pearl. Most of all he was fun to work with and kept us laughing.

Blake was recommended to me by another real-estate insider who gushed about Blake's high level of skill and acumen in dealing with condo units that fit my property type.
True to my friend's word, Blake was an excellent agent. Blake is responsive, interactive, honest, and willing to go the extra mile.
I would give my most sincere recommendation to anyone who is considering retaining Blake Ellis as their agent.

Bought a home in 2012.
Blake is an exceptional realtor.
We found that Blake is a keen listener and he fully understood our needs.
The moment we found our home, Blake has been our projector manager putting us
in contact with a lender, home inspector and insurance broker.
His knowledge of Portland, strong negotiation and communication skills were critical
in helping us through the entire home buying process.
Blake is very detail-oriented and does an excellent job following up with all parties from start to finish. It is our pleasure to have worked with him and look forward to
using him again with future home purchases.

Bought a Condo home in 2012 in Pearl District, Portland, OR.
We recently purchased a condo in the Pearl district with Blake Ellis and I just cannot say enough about this fine young man! He was a true professional in every sense of the word and helped us find exactly what we were looking for on our very first outing! We were able to move in within a month, which was very important to my husband who is a very busy physician and did not have a lot of free time. Blake researched an extensive array of preliminary listings for us to preview in order to narrow down our preferences, and we had a wonderful and enjoyable day looking at the final choices. He offered great insight into each property and shared his expert knowledge of the neighborhoods shown to us as well. Each time we met he gave us his full undivided attention in a calm, cheerful and respectful manner which was greatly appreciated. We never felt rushed or pushed when looking at the property options. He is very well connected and was a fantastic "go to" resource when we needed to contract a painter, a mover and a number of other services. We would definitely contact Blake again if we needed to buy or sell a property and we have recommended him highly to ALL of our friends and colleagues.
To anyone reading this review! If you are looking for the perfect home or property Mr. Ellis is the gentleman who will help you find your perfect match!

Blake Ellis took on the sale of our condo with lightening speed. We live in California, so our relationship was long distance, but that didn't hinder his ability to keep us constantly informed and to respond immediately to our concerns and questions. He is a talented photographer and copy writer, so our marketing material was produced seemingly overnight and beautifully. We couldn't be happier with the process we experienced with Blake and recommend him without any reservations whatsoever.
