Elizabeth Hills is the definition of a 5-Star real estate agent. And her professional qualities are matched by her personal character. We were referred to Elizabeth by a friend, as someone we could trust to help us sell our existing home and buy another in the area. Trust was key here. Our friend’s high praise meant Elizabeth had a lot to live up to. Now, going on 5 months since our first introduction, she has exceeded our expectations across the board! To start, we were not the easiest of clients. Our search criteria were ambiguous at best, and our selling window was “either now or later”. From the first home we toured with Elizabeth – many of which were our last-minute requests – we were treated like we were her only clients. She never made us feel rushed, never hinted that my wife and I might want to think things through a bit more before moving forward, and never made us feel we’d be better off with another agent. Very quickly, she earned our trust and respect and inspired us to be better clients! And on more than one occasion, my wife and I got into our car after a day of touring homes with Elizabeth and wondered how in the world she puts up with us! If knowledge is king, then humility is queen. And Elizabeth wears both crowns. Her familiarity with the market – and marketing – was apparent from the beginning. But her ability to recognize and share when she didn’t know something was equally impressive. On the rare occasion she didn’t have an answer, she knew how to get it. Her resourcefulness was confidence inspiring. She never appeared interested in putting herself on a pedestal, only in making sure our interests were front and center. And if her resourcefulness was impressive, her levels of energy and engagement were off the charts! She was an inspiration. My wife and I agreed that there was no way anyone could work any harder for anyone else than Elizabeth worked for us – both to find us a home and to sell the one we owned. As our search for a new home took us to locations beyond the Portland-Metro area, she introduced us to a local agent who helped us purchase a home in that area. It didn’t matter to Elizabeth that, up to that point, all her time with us had been spent on trying to find us a home, only to turn that over to someone else, somewhere else. Throughout our entire experience, she always put us first. With the purchase of our new home taking place sooner than expected, we accelerated efforts to sell our existing home. She and her listing partner, Kelly Calabria, put things into high gear and provided clear direction, honest assessments, and recommendations to optimize our home’s appeal leading up to the listing and the first open house. Within days of the listing going live, we had accepted an offer that ultimately led to a sale. I am certain that the sale would not have gone through without Elizabeth’s constant communication between all parties, thoughtful collaboration with the buyers’ agent, attentive planning, determined persistence, and faultless execution. There are times when competent professionals come into your life, and there are times when amazing people come into your life. Elizabeth has done both! She's a wonderful person and an excellent real estate agent.

I’ve known Elizabeth for 28 years, and the qualities that make her an incredible friend—authenticity, honesty, intelligence, and just the right touch of humor—are the same ones that make her an exceptional realtor. When it came time to sell our home and find the next one, Elizabeth was the clear choice to guide us through the process. From start to finish, she was a true partner—always accessible, always supportive, and consistently showing up with thoughtful answers, expert guidance, and meaningful feedback. What sets Elizabeth apart is her unwavering professionalism and tireless commitment to her clients. She brings calm to what can be a stressful and emotional journey, solving problems with ease and making the entire experience as smooth and seamless as possible. We’re grateful to have worked with her and absolutely look forward to doing so again. Without hesitation, we will continue to recommend Elizabeth to our friends and family. Kari Maljai

Elizabeth was amazing to work with. She was able to find me the perfect home for the next phase of my life. I would not have been able to obtain my new place without her expertise in finding the perfect home and going thru the purchasing process.
