Claire Widmark-Wright -- Widmark Wright Realty Group

Claire is an absolute top-notch realtor. I worked with her and her team over the course of 4 months as I searched for my first house. Her knowledge and expertise over the market were critical to my success and I wouldn’t even hesitate to refer others to her. Although process of purchasing a home can quickly become overwhelming, Claire and her team were always available to talk, answer questions, or help ease my concerns. She is incredibly responsive as well.

Overall, Claire is not your average realtor. In fact, I believe I’m now spoiled with how good of service I received and will 100% be coming back to Claire for my next transaction. She often would even talk me out of writing an offering on a house that I might consider “good enough” because she knew that I would find the perfect house eventually. At the time, I was surprised by this strategy, but as time passed, I...

As a first time house-seller, Claire and her team made a daunting process not only manageable but enjoyable! Through the whole process, Claire generously shared her expertise on the housing market, how to land on a selling price, the best contractors to work with, negotiating with the buyer, etc. all while giving me the space to make the final call. It's rare to go from listing to closing in literally 28 days but if I didn't work with Claire this unlikely scenario would have been non-existent. Having Claire's experience and confidence is a unique advantage--especially when working to maximize the margins.

Claire doesn't see her business as a bunch of transactions that involve houses. Rather, it's a way for her to serve people and that was deeply gratifying.

Claire and her team were wonderful to work with when my fiancé and I were searching for our home! After renting for years in Oregon, it was our first home purchase together (and my first home purchase ever) and Claire patiently took us through the process, preparing us for what to expect and what to keep an eye out for before we even toured a house, which was super helpful. Claire was extremely knowledgeable about the area we were looking in (Beaverton/Tigard/Tualatin) and gave us great insights when touring homes together. If Claire was unavailable to show us a house for any reason, she had her team set up to step in so we were able to go see it with them, then debrief with Claire after as needed.

We’ve been in our new home for a little over a month now and Claire has still been a great partner to us in helping recommend vendors and just giving helpful guidance to us as...

When we realized that we were going to move and needed a realtor to sell our home we didn’t know of anyone who had a referral to offer. Of course, we went directly to the internet and called the first few that were in our neighborhood with websites that looked inviting. We actually spoke face to face with one at length and let her know that we weren’t going to be selling until spring of this year so please keep our information we provided to her and give us a call around January (this conversation was in September 2023). During the fall and winter months we did not hear a word from her. Then, our grandson decided to sell his house and move across country and proceeded to tell us about his amazing realtor and the steps he went through and all the help and hints his realtor provided to them. So, we gave her a call and met with Claire. Wow, what a difference she made. Instead of...

Claire and her team helped with the sale of my mom's home after she moved into assisted living. The fact that she spoke directly to my mom and not just me was a major deciding factor. Claire patiently explained every aspect of the selling process. She connected us with a wonderful estate sales company, advised us on necessary home repairs, and coordinated companies to clean and stage the home. She guided us skillfully with the pricing and timing of putting the house on the market. From our initial meeting until the sale finalized was a little over 2 months. During that time all communications were handled timely and professionally. Would gladly work with her and her team again!

In going to numerous open houses looking for an agent, we knew right away Claire was the one for us. She spent time with us, providing excellent answers, information, and asking good questions. She came to the house for a walk-through. We assumed we would have to paint the kitchen cabinets (solid Maple) and the counter tops.She said no, just change the brass knobs to brushed nickel. We did, and it completely changed the character and look of the kitchen in a very good and inexpensive way. Why didn't we think of that? That's what you need Claire for. (We proceeded to replace all knobs, fixtures, etc. giving a more modern look to the house.) Claire guided us through unexpected incidents, and our lack of knowledge. She has the experience, resources, and capable people to take care of things. She continuously updated us on what was done and what was next. Her presentation, brochures,...

From our initial fact-gathering meeting with Claire, all the way through the process of listing, and then closing, the excellent information and consistent support were outstanding. The materials, checklists, and detailed suggestions for preparing the house for listing were so helpful, and Claire and her team were only a phone call or text away when any questions arose. I especially appreciated the detailed updates that came at the beginning of each week with a review of what had been accomplished to date as well as what to expect and/or what needed to be done in the week to come. The whole process went smoothly and I highly recommend Claire and her team without hesitation.

Claire is the absolute best! I can't say enough kind things about her. She provides her honest opinion about a house. Does not pressure a buy - on many occasions reminded us it is okay to be picky and to not jump into anything less than. She is so knowledgeable and is with you every step of the way. And she gets the job done! She truly wants you to love your new home and will go the extra mile to make sure the sellers make it move in ready (regarding safety issues). We soooo lucked out with her!

ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND! Working with this team was instrumental in allowing us to buy our first home. We were really worried we would never be able to purchase a home of our own, but Claire and Mark walked us through this process with kindness, honesty and reassurance. They are so knowledgeable about everything real estate and helped us learn so much throughout the time we worked with them. In the end, we bought our first house and are living our dream thanks to this amazing team! A truly incredible and life changing experience! Thank you!

With enthusiastic pleasure, I write this review for Widmark-Wright Realty. I was introduced by a friend to Claire & Mark shortly after becoming widowed. They sounded almost too good to be true. Wow! Best business decision I've made. They have the perfect combination of being both knowledgeable about their business and holding themselves to a high ethical and compassionate standard. Their constant and thorough communication with me always let me know I was part of the team. Every suggestion was run by me and
our decisions were made together.
Our duplex needed many repairs, including a new roof, and they handled all the arrangements regarding contractors and appts.
They worked tirelessly to get the duplex ready for market. When the time came, their pricing was spot on and we had 5 offers in 48 hrs, closing slightly over list price.
5 star service! Thank you...
