Words of Praise

Pam was very professional and thorough. This is the 6th home I have sold over the past 50 years and she is, by far, the most informed and helpful realtor I have worked with. She was able to handle a very difficult buyer with patience and kept me abreast of all negotiations in a very calming manner. I have highly recommended her services to everyone I know who has an interest in selling or buying property.

J Taft Irvan

Pam exceed our home buying expectations. From generating a comprehensive search criteria to quickly lining up home viewings, Pam was a consummate professional. Her local knowledge was key, as Pam even provided strong recommendations around home inspectors that helped us complete the home buying process.

Jason and Leslie—Lake Oswego

Pam is amazing and she made the process of buying our first home easy. She responds to questions in a timely manner and she is very easy to contact. Pam provided us with updates every step of the way until the day we closed on the house. We will be recommending her to our friends and family members.

Ron and Ann—Milwaukie

Pam helped us sell our home in the early days of Covid and then buy one as things were opening up. It was a confusing time and we were total novices but Pam was an incredible agent to work with. She was always on top of things and also calm and positive to deal with. She helped us through the sale/purchase negotiations with solid advice and patient guidance and in the end she and our lender went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition into our new home. Highly recommend her to anyone wanting an experienced realtor who is fun to work with too.

Sarah and Peter—Lake Oswego

Pam has an ability to masterfully work diligently to no end. I recommend Pam’s help in finding your next home as she will get it done for you!

Bob—West Linn

My husband and I 100% recommend Pam Waldman as a realtor. She helped us sell our home and purchase another. Both transactions were surprisingly smooth. Let’s admit it, selling one’s home can be super stressful, but Pam has a great calm demeanor and is exceptionally professional. Pam took care of all the details in a very efficient manner. Pam also has relationships with various contractors, mortgage brokers….basically she has all the contacts and resources anyone would need. Now that both sales have been finalized we are continuing to communicate with Pam and we anticipate using her again when it’s time to sell this house.

Nancy and Scott—Portland

Pam Waldman is a professional in every way: she is always punctual; incredibly fast to respond; pays attention to detail; has a depth of knowledge of the market, transactions, and contracts; and she is very well connected in terms of inspectors, tradesmen, and experts. Pam is also very personable and a pleasure to work with. She constantly went to bat for us and when one home we wanted to buy failed inspection she was very supportive and quick to get the details sorted so that we could move onto another, better property. She is tactful, honest and fair when it came to answering our questions and giving us counsel. We would not hesitate to recommend for any side of a real estate transaction

Cath and Trey—Lake Oswego

Pam was a pleasure to work with as my wife and I searched for our new home in the Portland area. She is an expert in the Lake Oswego and West Linn neighborhoods, and helped us navigate the ins and outs of the process, general movement of the local market, etc. Pam is extremely patient and thorough. She became very skilled at understanding our critical needs, and coordinated with us very effectively as we patiently looked for our dream home. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in this area, and can’t speak highly enough of her professionalism and effectiveness. Pam was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we wouldn’t have found our current home (which we love!) without her.

Shane and Erin—Lake Oswego

We’ve worked with Pam on both buying and selling our home over the past few years. Pam is easy to work with, knowledgeable and responsive. The photography, videography and marketing materials she provided for our home were spectacular. Everything went smoothly, our home sold fast, and at a price we wanted. We would wholeheartedly recommend working with Pam.

Brooke and Ryan—Portland

We recently bought and sold homes in the Lake Oswego and Portland area with Pam as our agent and were delighted with her professionalism, knowledge, accessibility, thoroughness and responsiveness. She did a fantastic job for us when we were both buyers and sellers and we would recommend her to anyone without reservation. She listens well, spared no expense on her marketing plan and provided us with a thorough professional analysis of the market before we sold. Pam is one of the hardest working agents I have ever worked with—-and that covers multiple transactions over the last 38 years of moving around the country. She is honest, considerate, was careful and respectful of our home during open houses and photography shoots, was quickly responsive to our calls and provided us with great input so we could make appropriate adjustments to our decision-making on both ends of our recent move. She is a top-notch agent and we would recommend her to anyone considering a move.
