We have worked with Chris on multiple house purchases and have had a wonderful experience. Chris and his team are always very prompt with responding to our needs and requests, and he is adept at managing relationships with the seller's agent. We cannot recommend Chris enough. You will not be disappointed!

Once again Chris helped me define, refine, and understand what I wanted in a new home and then we set off on a mission and found that home within 4 months. Chris also sold my home within it's first week on the market!
Chris knows the market, is friendly, and goes the extra mile to ensure you find a home you will love.
Thanks so much Chris!

Chris is an absolute professional! Starting with up front research, to tracking transaction milestones, and putting together a great marketing package Chris and his team are really intentional and thorough. He has an exceptional ability to explain details and present data that helped our decision making process. Chris has always been very accessible and is a great communicator. His insight and feedback throughout the process was accurate and appreciated. As a career real estate investor and home builder I choose to work with Chris because he has the experience and knowledge that we need to make good decisions, but also because he is a great guy and a pleasure to work with.

We had a great experience with Chris. He was knowledgeable and helpful, and very responsive. He made time for house showings even on very short notice. He was pleasant and professional at all times. We had never bought a house before and he did a great job of walking us first-timers through the process and giving advice. He even recommended a good contractor to us. I would recommend Chris to any of my friends/family looking to buy real estate in/around Portland.

Chris did a great job helping me purchase my house. He was on top of all the deadlines, paperwork and inspections. He was a good advocate for me during the transaction. I would highly recommend him for any realtor needs.

Chris is organized, follows up on questions promptly, and is always willing to problem solve any issues that may arise. He is easy to communicate with and has reasonable feedback to offer. I highly recommend him as an agent.

Chris is an amazing realtor who taught us so much and helped us find our absolute dream home! He is honest, knowledgeable, and never missed a call, text, or email. As a first time home buyer, he was there for every question we had! Chris was highly recommended to me by a friend and since buying our home, we have recommended him to multiple friends and will continue to do so!

I was looking for a plot of land and Chris provided expert advice throughout the whole process, even after closing on the lot!
Ground has been broken on the lot and now I am in the progress of building my dream home! Chris's help and advice was invaluable.

Nearly 20 years ago, Chris Dawkins expertly guided me in finding the perfect first home—one I’m still happily living in today! Since then, he’s remained an invaluable resource for home maintenance, updates, and improvements. I regularly turn to him for professional advice on various projects, and his insights always help me consider options I hadn’t thought of. Chris’s commitment to his clients goes far beyond the sale and lasts for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend Chris Dawkins and his team.

Chris came highly recommended to me by a family friend and he was exceptional. He has wonderful knowledge of the Portland area. His advice was exceedingly helpful for me as a first time home buyer.
I look forward to using his services again in the future!

Chris came highly recommended to me by a close friend and he exceeded our expectations. We were planning a cross country move from Maryland to Portland OR on a very specific timeline and of course specific "wants" in a property. Chris and his team were highly professional, organized, proactive, and knowledgeable which made the whole process actually very enjoyable and smooth. Being out of state, we really benefited from Chris' expertise in the local market and connections (like inspector) to give us peace of mind when we were not able to see everything ourselves. It all ended up working out perfectly and we are so happy with our new home. I would use Chris again in the future and highly recommend him!

Chris has supported me through 3 real estate transactions in the last 15 years - two purchases and a sale. In every case, he was thorough, attentive, knowledgeable and patient! He does a great job understanding my priorities and concerns. His advice around critical details like pricing is thoughtful and grounded in data. Chris is an absolute pro, and his back office team is every bit as good! Thorough, prompt and smart! Highly recommend and will work with Chris again the next time I have a real estate need!

Working with Chris Dawkins was an outstanding experience from start to finish. His professionalism, in-depth knowledge of the Oregon real estate market, and complete command of current state laws gave me total peace of mind throughout the process. Chris has a way of making even the most complex situations feel manageable, and his advice was always thoughtful, honest, and rooted in deep experience. You truly feel like you're in the most capable hands.
Just as impressive was Allyson Bourke, his transaction coordinator. Allyson kept everything on track with incredible efficiency, clear communication, and a calm, friendly demeanor that made every interaction a pleasure. She made sure every detail was handled smoothly and on time — I never once had to worry about what came next.
Together, Chris and Allyson make a phenomenal team. They go above and beyond in every aspect of their work, combining industry expertise with a level of care and service that’s rare to find. I’m so grateful for their guidance and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We had a great experience working with Chris. He helped us from across the country, touring homes on our behalf while on a video call. He gave honest advice even if his opinion differed from our own. There were times we asked about houses and he told us not to pursue it because of issues he identified. Didn't feel like he was rushing us to buy. He was very strategic when it came to making offers and ultimately got us our dream house that we are still in love with a full year later.

Chris is by far the most all-around knowledgable real estate agent I have ever worked with. His experience in many facets of the housing market makes him a cut above his competition. He will point out and explain details that would be easily overlooked by others. He will be very candid in discussing location, specifics of the home, and pricing. I found his ability to provide honest feedback and analysis refreshing, helpful, and clarifying.
Chris is less salesperson, and more of an experienced and trusted advisor. I will definitely be working with him on my next transaction.

Chris went above and beyond for us in our most recent home selling experience. He scheduled everything that needed scheduling immediately, kept us thoroughly updated through every step in just the right way, and orchestrated the experience like a grand conductor. He was kind, caring, and reassuring during those few, stressful, out-of-our-collective-hands moments that arose.
11/10, would recommend again to anyone looking to sell their home.

It was a pleasure to work with Chris and his group of dedicated professionals as we navigated selling our house, splitting our time/presence/and family during the transition from work places and schools for our children. Thank you Chris and the Dawkins Group!

I appreciated having Chris a my real estate agent so much when I sold my house in Portland recently. I pestered him with many questions, many times. He was incredibly accommodating for all of my non- standard requests. He was able to get the sale done even while I was traveling in Africa. I think I saved more than the cost of having him as my agent just by his advice on what was worth upgrading on the house and what was not. I highly recommend Chris Dawkins

It was a pleasure working with Chris. The marketing tools that he created put our house in the best possible light. His knowledge of the market, combined with his professionalism and availability for feedback and suggestions, made all the difference. Can't recommend him more highly.

Chris did a great job representing our house and succeeded in getting it sold in an efficient time frame. He was patient and generous with his time providing consult on pre sale questions we had and helping us navigate our personal timeline while balancing timing with the market. Everything went smoothly,without stress or issue. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for an experienced, savvy and knowledgeable Realtor. It was a pleasure.
As title and escrow provider we have had the opportunity to work with many real estate agents in Oregon. Over the past six years years Chris and his team stand out as professionals when it comes to the care and support they show their clients. We get to see first-hand the education and attention to detail that Chris provides as a part of his customer service. His clients come to closing with a clear vision of the escrow and title process and are prepared for the changes that may occur in a real estate transaction. Will Cammack and my team at Lawyers Title are honored to work with such a respected real estate team and one of the top producing realtors in the Portland Metro area.

Chris, Tara and Allyson did a fantastic job helping us find our first home and navigate all aspect of the process. Chris and Tara are incredibly knowledgable from market trends to what would be a good fit for us once they got to know our needs. I spent a lot of time with Tara narrowing down our vision and we couldn't be more thrilled with the home we landed on. We would recommend this team to any one of our friends or family and only ever use this team for future purchases of ours. 12/10 recommend!
KM
Chris and Tara did a great job from start to finish of helping us purchase and (years later) sell our home. As first time home buyers and sellers I appreciated their calm natured response to my endless questioning and their industry expertise that helped us make the right choices in the process. They were clear and communicative about where we were at in the process and what was needed on our end. They were instrumental in supporting our home buying and selling needs and I’d recommend them highly to anyone considering their services.

Chris, and Tara did a excellent job helping us find and purchase our home. They were great, fast, communicators and kept us informed of everything as it was happening. I would use them again if we ever need to buy again.
