Before going to market, during the transaction and after closing, Joe’s vendor list will help you ready your house for sale, remedy requested repairs after the home inspection and even refer professional contractors for your new property for years to come. From home staging to legal assistance, Joe will see that you are well served.

Every home deserves Professional Photography and that is what I provide. I contract with some of the Portland area’s best real estate photographers offering high resolution portraits in every shot. You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Joe will solicit feedback from all showings and provide buyer’s agent feedback to you, the seller, as soon as it is received.

Upon receiving a written offer, Joe will contact the buyer’s lender to verify the strength of the buyer. If the offer is a cash offer, Joe will review the proof of funds and report the findings to seller. Joe will monitor the buyer’s loan process from start to finish.

Today mortgage loans require a successful appraisal. Lenders must initiate the appraisal process by contacting an appraisal pool or appraisal management company. It is common for appraisers to come from areas outside of the subject property area. Because of this, Joe’s service includes a meeting with the appraiser and provides a comparable sales report that helps insure that the appraisal will come in at sale price or higher.

Timeline management is crucial in today’s real estate sales. Joe will manage earnest money deposit, all transaction contingencies, escrow communication, and pledges to keep sellers informed about all issues relating to their transaction.

CONFIDENTIALITY is a core principle of my real estate practice. Your privacy is important and safe with me. As a long-time member of PMAR’s Professional Standards committee and participant on PMAR’s Ethics Hearing Panel, I only know one way to do business....the right way.

Service Performance Guarantee....My ultimate goal is “happy customers.” For any reason that a seller wishes to cancel a listing prior to the expiration date, Joe Menashe will gladly do so with only a charge for actual marketing costs expended at the time of cancellation.
