I’ve worked with three different realtors in three different states and Amanda is the best!! She was helpful from day one! She went above and beyond with helping and accommodating for my husband and I! She was helpful with the house but also even helped more than that with paint colors and decorations 👏💕👩‍🎨 I appreciate her so much! You’re making a mistake if you don’t use Amanda!

Amanda and her team did an amazing job of selling an investment property for us. She helped with finding people to fix the place up and then got it sold in just a few weeks. Would absolutely recommend her.

If I could provide a 6 star (or 7 start) review, I would. Amanda and Kayla - and extended team - were great to work with. I highly recommended leveraging their expertise. Not only did Amanada and team provide exceptional support, the focus on communication and partnering with multiple teams allowed us to successfully work through the complexities of our specific transaction. Thanks to Amanda and team - I look forward to the opportunity to work with you again.

Amanda and her team went far above and beyond exceptional. From the moment we asked her help to the very last step her professionalism, understanding, and knowledgeable experience made selling our home and moving across the US, a great success in short time. There will always be surprises in buying and selling a house, with Amanda's knowledge and expertise, those surprises were dealt with and her positive approach made it successful.

Amanda made buying a home a very pleasurable experience. From her thoughtful insights while looking at homes to all the contacts she connected us with in finalizing the sale. I would highly recommend using her for your home real estate needs.

Just WOW! As a first time home buyer, Amanda made everything SO easy for me. From giving astute assessments on home values, potential repair costs, housing trends, to connecting me with reputable local contractors, to guiding me through the negotiations process, to helping me visualize myself in a space, Amanda has made this process manageable and fun. She is very knowledgeable, professional, resourceful, and well connected. My family has purchased 7 properties in Oregon in the past 17 years, and Amanda is by far the best real estate agent we have worked with. I can’t emphasize enough the importance of having Amanda and her local connections in my corner. I would highly recommend working with Amanda in purchasing, selling, or staging your home!!

Amanda is truly a top notch professional who cares about her clients needs. I have had the pleasure of having her represent us as both a buyer, and seller. She is passionate about what she does and it shows as she is there with you through the process every step of the way and provides adequate direction and guidance. She remains cognizant of the impact this process has on your daily life and continues to offer her support. From day one we knew we were in good hands and wouldn’t choose any other individual to help us.

Amanda was fantastic to work with, we couldn't recommend her more. Throughout the building process, she stayed in contact with us and coordinated with all parties timely and professionally. The entire transaction appeared seamless - our side of things was almost too easy! We hope we can work with her again in the future!

Amanda is one Hard working agent. She was meet with many challenges along the way of selling my business property and each time she gave me the encouragement to go on. Stay the Course. Always returning texts, phone calls with great speed. Helping me understand real estate lingo. And providing a service of helping vacating my building. You will not be disappointed in what she brings to the table.

Amanda and team were top-notch, experienced professionals. They recently helped us with the sale of our home, which we had lived in for 15 years. She gave advice that saved us thousands of dollars in understanding which repairs and improvements were necessary and which weren't. Her listing price was spot-on and was $30,000 over what we originally anticipated. The photos and marketing were excellent and we received an offer $20,000 over asking within a week. There is a home almost identical to ours a few blocks away listed by another realtor that has been on the market for a month. Amanda and team kept us informed and reassured throughout the process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Amanda Folkestad or Connie Hall on the Brian Porter Team of JMA Properties.

If you are looking for a realtor that truly cares about finding the perfect home for you Amanda with JMA properties is an exceptional choice. Not only is she knowledgeable, but Amanda was so helpful throughout the entire process. We did both a sale of a home and purchase with Amanda and really appreciated how detailed and organized she was. The home we purchased was our families dream home, with that came a lot of additional maintenance and details. Amanda helped us tremendously with getting appointments scheduled and making sure we knew how to care for our new home prior to moving in. We are so grateful, thank you!
