Brandi Whitaker - Dilithium Real Estate

Mar 28th, 2022

Brandi helped my partner and I buy our first house in NE Portland. She was amazing throughout the entire experience from our very first call to the day we moved in. Her continuous support and critical eye were immensely helpful at every stage of the process. It also helps that she's always as cool as a cucumber! I honestly don't know how we could have made it through this without Brandi. We feel so lucky to have found her. I would recommend Brandi to anyone starting their house hunting journey.

Brandi is a fantastic agent. We were new to Portland and she was great at explaining all the intricacies of the market and what to expect. When we went to look at houses she has an expert eye and can see all the issues - and sometimes potential - you dont. Really good at giving level-headed advice about places. Got us a good deal in a tough market and once you have the house she has great contractor contacts. Highly recommend.

Brandi Whitaker is a solid professional, an excellent communicator in multiple media, is thorough, realistic, resourceful, and a fine negotiator. For out-of-state buyers in a hot seller's market she provided detailed honest advice on the market, the timing patterns of listings and offers in our price range, and practical approaches to finding and buying a home we could feel comfortable with. She made her own video tour of a property we were interested in, showed every element, positive and negative, and filled with observations and advice. Her attention to detail left us ready to make an offer before even visiting the home, and when were were able to visit during the inspection period, we found no unhappy surprises. I am happy to recommend Brandi and her services to any prospective buyer.

If you're looking for a lazy, bumbling, incompetent realtor, then skip this review. But if you're hoping to find what must be the very best combination of a hard working, experienced, knowledgeable and personable agent on the planet, then pick Brandi Whitaker. We were living 15 time zones away, looking online at properties in an area we'd never been to before. Brandi communicated with us day and night (she was even willing to download and learn a new phone app to facilitate the matter), and made the process of identifying, bidding, inspecting, and finally purchasing our new home as easy as if we'd been down the street. She visited numerous homes for us in the process, and never complained when we didn't particularly care for one. Not only did she video each visit, but carefully, objectively, and expertly commented on details I would not have thought to ask about regarding all the major systems (gas, electric, appliances) in addition to the condition of nearly every inch of the home. Her thoroughness meant that when we finally moved back to the US and stepped inside our new purchase, there were no surprises or disappointments. Although Brandi is obviously very smart and technically capable, she defies any stereotype of that making her a wooden, boring, or inarticulate nerd. She clearly matched my tone on whether to be "professionally distant" or "chatty," learning about us personally and sharing her own life as appropriate. In the end, I feel that as we move into a new area, we have at least one friend here already! Brandi earned her commission with us. Wish we could give even more stars!
