TESTIMONIALS

J.L. Raefele | Home Buyer

Joseph was great to work with and we highly recommend him. He went above and beyond showing us several homes and giving us honest feedback based on our personal needs. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and straightforward. He walked us through the whole process and made sure we felt informed and confident in our purchase.

Sami P. | Home Buyer

It was a privilege to work with Joseph, his knowledge of the market was great. Even better was his knowledge with the structure of homes and how given the location and/or age of the homes what kind of issues we can encounter down the road. We were really impressed by his professionalism. Being first time homeowners having a realtor with a lot of experience was really helpful.

Rachel D. | Home Seller

My family and I highly recommend Joseph Charny! He worked with us for months through a challenging house sale and remained supportive, patient, optimistic and professional throughout the entire process. Joseph told us in the beginning of our time working together that he would prioritize our house sale and be with us every step of the way. He absolutely lived up to that commitment and was a pleasure to work with. His experience with marketing and negotiation also served us very well. We highly recommend him as an experienced, successful and compassionate REALTOR!

MJ | Home Buyer

We had the pleasure of working with Yossi (Joseph) for our first home buying experience. When we initially met with him, he did a good job listening to our preferences and asking good follow up questions to help him understand our wants and needs. We ended up finding our dream home pretty fast, and Yossi (Joseph) was very helpful throughout the process. We would highly recommend him for your home buying needs.

Cliff A. | Home Seller

I have worked with Joseph for 7+ years closing several purchases and sales. Sometimes these transactions were simple but others were difficult, even very difficult. Joseph is straightforward during challenging circumstances. He sees how to move things forward, paying close attention to both buyer and seller priorities. His integrity puts everyone at ease. I look forward to working with Joseph again and highly recommend his services.

Joseph Charny has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Joseph is extremely passionate about customer satisfaction, which is demonstrated by his attentiveness and ability to find you (the customer) answers to your questions.

There were a few nights where Joseph and I were talking at 10:00 p.m. because I wasn’t understanding some minor contract details, but he was there to explain and clarify the details. He made certain I felt comfortable contacting him at any point in time.

Joseph is truthful, and if he isn’t sure of an answer he will go out and find the proper answer in a timely fashion.

Not once did Joseph offer a viewing of a house that didn’t fit my requirements. He took my requirements seriously and respected my wishes.

You can count on Joseph to get the deal closed and have you in your new home in no time. I will be recommending Joseph Charny to all of my friends and family because I have complete faith in his abilities!

Jordan and Lauren

Joseph was a beacon of clarity and reason in the chaos and excitement of finding our new home on the other side of the country. He was always ready with earnest advice, a friendly joke, and a positive, understanding attitude. Unusual in an agent, he would regularly check in for a chat, even when there were no updates. We heartily recommend Joseph to anyone looking to buy their new home or find a buyer for the home they're leaving.

Thanks for everything, Joseph!

Steff H. | Home Seller

Joseph was an integral part of selling my home. He was knowledgeable and made it easy to understand each milestone of the selling process. My house needed repairs, and he helped me find contractors for everything; from plumbing to carpeting to painting the whole house. Staging the house felt like a job well done and the pictures turned out great. I cannot see myself going to anyone else for buying or selling.

Jonathan & Andrea | Home Sellers

This was our first time selling a home and didn’t know what to expect from the process. We are so glad we went with Joseph as our broker. From start to finish, Joseph was professional and courteous. Our questions never went unanswered. We always felt we were given enough information to make decisions without reservations. We are happy to recommend Joseph to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

Timothy & Tenishia W. | Home Buyers

What can I say? Joseph was a delight to work with on our first home purchase. He was very knowledgeable and responsive with everything we asked. Very patient and explained the whole process perfectly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in the market. And we will call on him in the future if I’m in the market again. And most of all we gained a very good friend. Thank sir for your expertise.

Stephanie L. | Home Seller

He's the best. I will definitely seek him out for any future real estate ventures.

Anthony K. | Home Buyer

Joseph was wonderful throughout the entire process. I flew in a few months before starting a new job and had limited time to search for a new house. He expertly put together a list of showings for 2 and a half days and within 3-4 showings he knew exactly what I was looking for. He was able to subjectively provide positive input and made the entire process flow smoothly, even with hiccups on the lending side. When I go to buy my next house here in Oregon/Washington, Joseph will be the first person I’m calling.

Inbar V. | Home Buyer

Joseph was amazing, he really took care of me and helped me with all the process. He was generous, sweet, and patient, and explained me about each step, which was very important in a big step like that. I highly recommend Joseph!!! Couldn’t ask for a better realtor, thank you.

Mohammed Q. | Home Buyer

Joseph is a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process, from start to finish. He also never gave up on me and stuck with me every step of the way.

Mary S. | Home Seller

Working with Joseph to sell my home was a very positive experience. His knowledge of the market and his dedication payed off. I really appreciated his attention to detail making the process easier than I'd expected. Job well done!!

Cliff A. | Home Seller

Joseph is a savvy agent. He helped me sell a ‘distressed’ property that required extreme attention to detail. Although we did not have immediate success, Joseph stuck with it. In the end, it sold for exactly what we wanted. He is the kind of agent that won’t leave you hanging when the going gets tough. Highly recommend.

Joseph and Wendy B. | Home Sellers

We could not have asked for a better selling experience! Joseph is a consummate professional. While it was initially tempting to go with an online buyer like Zillow or Open Door that didn't require any open houses etc... we definitely made the right choice choosing a hand's on realtor. Joseph is organized, knowledgeable, and efficient. proving that there really is no substitute for experience and personal connection. We would use him again in a heartbeat and give him our hardiest recommendation!

Nicole E. | Home Buyer

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Joseph in buying our first home. He is extremely knowledgeable and was attentive to our specific needs for our family. A very smooth and stress free experience!

David L. | Home Seller

Joseph is fantastic. Upbeat, knowledgeable, and hard-working…. What more do you want?

Sharon N. | Home Buyer

Joseph is fantastic! Very responsive and offer great recommendation. We highly recommend him.

Mark B. | Home Buyer

We've worked with Joseph on our last two home purchases and he's been amazing each time. He's extremely knowledgeable and has made himself available through every step of the process. He keeps it stress-free, which is a huge help with home buying. I can't say enough good things about him!

Leticia C. V | Home Seller

Joseph was always present and patient guiding us throughout the process as first-time home buyers, as well as reponsive and supportive as we moved from the offer to the closing steps. It was a pleasure to work with Joseph and hope we work together again in the future.... Best, Leticia.

Dave & Erica M. | Home Seller

We were relocated for work and were referred to Joseph. We were immediately thrilled with how well he knew the market in our neighborhood and his knowledge led us to finding the perfect buyer in no time. We were on a tight timeline and by the time our house was listed we had already moved across the country. However, Joseph had us covered and the whole process went seamlessly, even from the opposite coast. We highly recommend Joseph if you are buying or selling a home!

Erin C. | Home Buyer

We were referred to Joseph by our VA realtor. We had seen a home come up for sale we were convinced would sell that weekend and we were out of state. Couldn't get to OR in time. With Joseph's good will, knowledge of the market and area and a remote Facetime tour of the home we put in an offer without personally seeing the home. Joseph was able to give us the confidence this was the home we'd been looking for and help us get the best price possible for it. We got out to see it during the home inspection and there were no surprises. It was exactly as we expected. The purchase went smoothly. Joseph was in constant communication and really negotiated to resolve issues for us on an older home. We just enjoyed working with him, he loves what he does and it shows. We couldn't be more thankful for his assistance.

Megan B. | Home Buyer

Joseph was an amazing realtor for us finding our first home in Portland. He clearly knew the neighborhoods well, was so accommodating despite us being remote for our search, quick and easy to communicate with, and we trusted his expertise when it came to actually making offers on homes. He also stuck with us throughout multiple steps in our journey as we adjusted neighborhoods and requirements. Even after we've moved in he's referred us to contractors and checked in on us. He's also just a lovely man to know and we appreciated his openness, honesty, and sense of humor through it all.

Robb M. | Home Buyer

Easy to work with and knew the market extremely well. Took care of us each step of the way.

Cherise N. D. | Home Buyer

Friendly & knowledgeable staff who really cares about our whole buying process.

Christine M. | Home Buyer

My first home-buying experience was smooth and easy thanks to Joseph. I had many questions along the way and he always took the time to explain things thoroughly. Once we found a home we loved, Joseph took action right away to make sure we were top candidates. He advised me well on what to include in our offer and made me feel included in the decision-making process. His strategy paid off; although the house received many other offers, our offer was ultimately the strongest and I was able to purchase my dream home! I was impressed with Joseph through every step of the process, and highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

Ted & Amy H. | Home Seller

Joseph & Ronit secured a sales price for us we never imagined possible. It was the highest price per square foot EVER in our neighborhood. Their marketing materials including the fantastic professional home photos were first rate helping us fetch many great offers to choose from. Their clear, frequent communication helped ease any concerns we had during the process and made it abundantly obvious they were experienced, knowledgeable & two of the best Portland Realtors!

Gillian N. | Home Buyer

It was my first home buying experience, and I am extremely grateful for all his help with it. I was intimidated by all the whatnot that home buying entails, and Joseph was endlessly available and helpful with what I needed to do next. Especially when I got the bad news that the first home I offered on had massive foundation issues. He knows how the market and process works and what your best move is likely to be and makes what is a stressful, difficult process as easy as it's reasonably possible to be.

Macey D. | Home Buyer

Joseph was able to get us into our new home in 26 days! In a really hot market we had to move by a deadline and we didn't think it could be done but Joseph did it. When we found our dream home he checked in with the other agent and us every day until they made their decision on offers. When it seemed like the offer would be close- he gave us our options and we were able to make an addendum with less than 5 minutes left on the deadline. I wouldn't be sitting in my new home writing this if he hadn't gone above and beyond to meet our needs and stay on top of the listing. Not only did we beat out 4 other offers above listed price but he was spot on on what the top offer would be. I would highly recommend Joseph as he understood our needs, knew how to deal with this crazy Portland market, and was realistic and honest with us the whole time. I couldn't be happier with our home.

Brendan J. | Home Buyer

Joseph Charny, I want to thank you for all of your help with me finding my first home to call my own. You made something that seemed very intimidating and complicated seem so friendly and easy. As a first time home buyer I had no idea what to expect. I was so glad to find that you were available at any time I needed you for answering questions and helping me understand the process with my lender. When I was first connected with you I didn’t expect you to take my search for a home and expedite it in every aspect. From helping me actually find a home on the market, to linking me with an inspector, to dealing with every interaction with the seller, to informing me on my process with the lender, to finally seeing it through to the close date. With you I was not expecting to find and buy a home in only a month, you made this process so seamless and I can’t thank you enough. I am overwhelmed with the joy of finishing the process so quickly and I am nothing but satisfied. Thank you for your professional attitude and expert guidance with all of the steps in this process. I couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you so much Joseph!

Marsha S. | Home Seller

Joseph Charney was the most attentive agent possible. He was clear and offered good advice about what i needed to do to sell my home quickly and for a good price. He was great to work with and held my hand thru the process, especially when I didn't know the best way to go, or what I needed to do especially dealing with mortgage brokers. He is the best and I would definitely recommend him.

Mike & Angelika | Home Seller

Joseph’s breadth of the real estate profession is undoubtedly second to none. His keen focus on market variables, innate understanding of the customer concerns, needs, and desires tethered to an impressive work ethic and tireless compassion to ensure the entire process from initial listing to the sale is simply impressive. Unlike past agents we have worked with, this sale was out of state and thus, required a real sense of trust, which came exceedingly easy for my wife and me to acquire with Joseph. His understanding, professionalism, and willingness to walk us through every detail was reassuring, but beyond this, Joseph went above and beyond any real estate agent we have worked with in the past 35 years. Joseph is an exemplary professional others in the profession will find difficult to replicate. Needless to say, Joseph represents the very best in a very competitive career field and for those in search of a real estate agent, look no further than Joseph...he should be your top choice. You will not be disappointed.

Ronit C. | Home Buyer

He works for you! He is always available! He knows the market, gives you the best advice and resulting in your dream home.

Jamie L. | Home Buyer

Joseph was a fantastic realtor! We were first-time home buyers and he made the process so much easier than we were expecting. He was able to show us homes that we were interested in right away and asked the right questions to know more about what we liked or didn’t like about each home. From start to finish Joseph kept great communication, and his many years of experience definitely proved helpful. We had multiple people, including our lender and notary with the title company, compliment the details in his work and reassured us that he had our best interests in mind. We would definitely recommend Joseph to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Yaniv C. | Home Seller

Professional knowledgeable available 24/7. Really represents you and to find the best solution to any situation. I am highly recommending Joseph Charny.

Royden S. | Home Seller

He was professional and helpful throughout the transaction. I could not have gotten a better agent.

Adrienne G. | Home Seller

Joseph was quick to respond to all of my questions and concerns, worked with me to determine a plan on readying my house for sale, and immediately put it on the market when ready. He knew the market and agents that would be interested in my home, and the house sold in 2 days. I highly recommend him.

Jan C. | Home Buyer

It was a pleasure working with Mr. Charny and Coldwell Banker Bain. Mr. Charny was very helpful and responsive to my questions and concerns. We were able to find the right property and the financing and closing went efficiently. I would highly recommend both to someone looking to buy or sell a home.

Jaime M. | Home Buyer

Joseph was attentive, helpful, responded at all hours and all days, and truly a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home or property. He made even the hard parts of the process that much easier to handle and get through.

Joao Carlos F. O. | Home Buyer

Very professional. Goes over and beyond to make sure things work well for all parties involved.

Brice S. | Home Buyer

Joseph Charny was a dream to work with as our broker. He is very personable and understood quickly me and my wife's needs and wants for our new home. He was very knowledgeable about the whole process and helped us through the many steps of buying our first home and we never felt uninformed or ignored, and any question we had was promptly answered!

Ravi T. N. | Home Buyer

Joseph is fantastic broker. He guided us and gave all the information we need which helped us to narrow down our choices easily and find the best home for ourselves. He has been very patient with us since day 1 until the closing date. It was a great experience working with him. I will definitely refer my family/friends to him.

Meghesh A. | Home Buyer

Professional and customized to meet specific customer needs.

Paul G. | Home Buyer

Joseph knows his market and keeps focused on the properties we want to see. He made the buying process effortless.

Cliff A. | Home Seller and Home Buyer

This review is long overdue - and it is my pleasure to finally write it. The Coldwell team is well served by Joseph Charny who is, in a word, relentless. Joseph is an excellent listener - rather than just get to the buying part he wants to first understand the client's objectives and strategy. Theseare then refined by Joseph given current market conditions, his past experience, and other factors. He doesn't always agree with the client and will, when asked, explain why. I personally benefited from this approach on every deal we did in 2016, six unique properties under wildly varying circumstances. We successfully closed nearly $2M this year. Joseph is always readily available - an extremely critical factor in closing complex business deals. Ours were always fluid, for example bidding wars, poor seller representation and/or outright falsehood. This meant that we needed to talk several times a day, Joseph always picks up and this is comforting with so much money on the line. But besides all business factors, Joseph REALLY enjoys his work. I believe I am in a unique position here. We conducted six deals in 9 months and I observed how Joseph views each transaction like a jigsaw puzzle. He is constantly rolling over the deal in his head, constantly looking for his client's advantage. He does this largely on his time OFF. In the late evenings, etc., when things quiet down. Call him at Midnight, he is ready to talk - believe it. I can honestly say that, besides all the business success we achieved this year, we are also gained a family friend. I've worked with some great Real Estate professionals over the years, but Joseph really stands out in so many ways. I can not recommend him and his approach highly enough. I once again thank him and his Broker Brian for their outstanding service.

Malek M. | Home Buyer

Gave me a diverse set of recommendations + viewing choices to make it easier to visual differences and analyze tradeoffs between different homes. Very thorough and efficient, and found his recommendations to be quite accurate. Also very patient in dealing with a first-time home buyer.

Maria Andrea M. | Home Seller

Joseph Charny is not only thoroughly professional, he is also compassionate and personable. We are so glad we had him on our team with our Hillsboro real estate purchase.

Aaron A. C. | Home Seller

Fast and friendly
