Helping You Buy and Sell Homes
Without Losing Your Mind

Dawne E, Vancouver WA

"Kristen was so fun to work with! I was thrilled to have found the right home but also sad knowing I wouldn’t get to hang out with her regularly. Highly recommend Kristen as she will advocate for you and also calm you during what can be a stressful time."

Jessica D, Sherwood OR

"Kristen Downer is an absolutely amazing real estate agent! From selling our home to helping us find the perfect new one, she made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She always made us feel like we were her #1 priority, answering every question and handling every detail with care and professionalism. Her dedication, knowledge, and responsiveness are unmatched. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!"

Marchessa S, McMinnville OR

"Working with Kristen to buy my first home was a dream. Going into the process I was completely overwhelmed and uncertain. My biggest fear was getting locked into a loan or a home that I couldn't afford. Throughout the process, it was clear that Kristen truly wanted me to be successful as a new homeowner more than she wanted the sale. A true professional without the stuffiness. Thanks again, Kristen!"

About Me

I’m Kristen, your neighborhood real estate agent serving the Portland Metro and Vancouver areas. Think of me as your real estate doula. I guide you through buying or selling with calm, strategy, and a steady hand. And yes, I was a midwife for nearly 20 years, so big life transitions are kind of my specialty.

I care about how your life actually works. Space for teenagers and their ever expanding stuff, room for a vinyl collection that deserves proper shelving, a yard that can handle a few chickens, or a corner to keep a sourdough starter alive. Maybe it is a walkable neighborhood where your favorite coffee shop knows your order. I listen for the details that matter and help you find a place that fits the way you really live.

After more than 24 years in Portland, I know this city inside and out. The neighborhoods, the hidden gems, and the coffee shops worth lingering in. I bring strong market knowledge, a love of good design, and a belief that the process can be smooth and even fun.

Real estate is personal to me. Let’s find a place that fits your life.
