Elaine Simms Real Estate Reviews

• ELAINE: Thank you for going the whole nine yards on the sale of Sam's condo. I appreciate all the work you did on his behalf.
  ELAINE exceeded all of our expectations...

• We chose Elaine Simms at Ken Miller & Associates, to list our house, from a friend who chose her and it was the best decision we could have made. She provided a referral for a painter to patch and paint, a yard care person for weeding, trimming bushes and lawn care, a move out house cleaner and she took care of numerous tasks herself. Her amazing friendly personality and help with negotiations, made our quick sale so pleasant. Thank you Elaine! We’ve gained a wonderful new friend!

• ELAINE is terrific! She's the best realtor we've ever had! We followed her direction for getting the house ready, left for an 11 day trip, and she sold it in the first few days.

• ELAINE went way out of her way to help during snow and ice while we were trying to get house ready for sale and was right there with answers whenever needed. She kept me well informed and did many extras because I had moved away. She even went over and watered a plant on the porch. The house sold very quickly and ELAINE was helpful with the inspection results making the whole experience run smoothly. I would highly recommend ELAINE and have done so.

• ELAINE SIMMS just helped me sell my home in King City. She also helped me purchase the same home four years ago. I have complete confidence in Elaine and now consider her a friend. She really is an extraordinary realtor cheerfully going about putting out all the fires that can occur during a real estate transaction. I moved to Florida to be with family and she handled every detail calling me often with updates and problem solving all the while. I signed via a program called DocuSign and even had a notary come to where I was staying. The process was smooth for me but I can’t imagine how it was for Elaine. She just handled the problems, keeping me advised and I cannot imagine anyone doing it better. She is a treasure.

• I just sold my condo in Summerfield with outstanding assistance from ELAINE SIMMS from Ken Miller & Associates. She staged the unit, arranged for photos and got it listed in record time. Once I had accepted an offer she went above and beyond to facilitate necessary repairs including (aaaack!) a need for radon mitigation! What could have been a nightmare scenario became, instead, a manageable situation thanks to Elaine's research & coordination between testing companies, the HOA, radon mitigation services, and construction services. Between the time the property was listed and signing the closing documents, I never, not once!, had to drive to Tigard to deal with anything. Elaine just plain took care of it!

• We were truly blessed to have ELAINE SIMMS as our real Estate Agent, she did a phenomenal job. She is personable, extremely professional, trustworthy, knowledgeable, experienced, dependable, and very detail oriented. Elaine was with us every step of the way. She was patient with us, available and willing to answer questions (which we had many) and always cheerful and professional. Elaine went above and beyond in assisting with sound professional advice on getting our Mom’s house ready to put on the market. Her recommendation of reputable contractors she dealt with over the years were able to get the needed repairs completed. Elaine did an outstanding job on staging the house, having professional pictures taken, and marketing the house, which resulted in selling Mom’s house quickly. Elaine is a delight to work with, great personality, and we highly recommend her as your Real Estate Agent, and you’d be getting the BEST!

• ELAINE: we can't thank you enough for your advice and expertise in selling our King City condo. In 58 years we have bought and sold 11 homes....this was the smoothest transaction of them all. It was priced right, sold in a heartbeat, and closed timely. Thank you and thank Ken Miller for stepping in to deliver paperwork when needed!
  Jan & Dave P.
  
  
• Thank you ELAINE for helping me find my new home. I appreciate your professional knowledge and personal touch. You were tenacious in sending me potential homes to consider and after being out bid so many times, we were finally successful. I'm very happy and consider you and Ken my friends

• It gives me great pleasure to tell you about realtor Elaine Simms. After owning my Tigard home for over 42 years, I wanted to find a realtor that would understand my anguish in listing my home to sell. I chose Elaine after reading all the heart-felt comments from those she helped in selling or buying a home. ELAINE IS TRULY THE BEST, so experienced, so knowledgeable and so wonderful to work with. Elaine helped me in presenting my home to potential buyers and I am especially grateful that the work recommended to be done by the home inspector was confirmed or disregarded by Elaine's own service professionals. She saved me money! My home sold immediately thanks to her expertise. She is now helping me find a home in Summerfield and because she has taken so much time in getting to know my likes and dislikes, I'm confident that she will find the perfect home for me

• Elaine is the best agent I’ve ever worked with. Period. I’ve done three deals in Summerfield with her since the summer of 2019 and she’s been super knowledgeable and professional in representing me in all of our negotiations. She knows the Summerfield-King City area extremely well and will take care of you and your needs every time.

• I am very pleased with the job ELAINE did for me in King City as a buyer from CA. She has an excellent knowledge of the escrow process and all the deadlines. She maintains a professional relationship with all the trades people needed after a lengthy home inspection. She works with stand up companies, makes endless calls and follows through with every detail of the escrow process. My escrow closed early and she continues to help me with everything that has come up since. I have never worked with an agent who was so on top of everything. Thanks ELAINE!
  Jeanette Drabec
  
  
• Thank you for everything, ELAINE. You have been an absolute treasure to work with and we appreciate all you've done for us. Everyone I spoke with in King City said you were the best, and they were right!

• Working with ELAINE SIMMS was fantastic. Her grasp of the King City market and pricing strategy were instrumental in getting us quality offers on the sale of my parent’s home. That was only the beginning of the advantages to selecting ELAINE, as she provided her own quality staging furnishings at no additional cost to us and had a great list of contractors to use when we were working through the buyer’s requests that came out of the inspection process. All those factors were important, but most important of all was ELAINE’s professionalism and ability to stay composed throughout the ebbs and flows of the sales process. I would highly recommend using ELAINE for assistance with buying and/or selling any property within the areas where she is focused, which includes King City and beyond. The question I always ask myself is whether I had it to do over again knowing what I know, would I still take the same approach. As it relates to ELAINE, the answer is an absolute, unequivocable, “YES”! ELAINE We were so thankful for your kindness and generosity. It was really a joy to work through this sales process with you and to receive a gift for doing so was really just the icing on the cake. Thank you so much for all that you did in going the extra mile, many, many times to keep everything on track and everyone happy. I definitely wish you the best and will absolutely let others know how wonderful you are to work with on real estate transactions.

• ELAINE, When Meddie and I began searching for our next home we had no idea we would be working with a realtor of your knowledge, caring, and professionalism. We quickly realized that we made the right decision. We were interested in 55+ communities and what the lifestyle might offer, but didn't know anything about the three communities in the area. Over the course of a couple months you presented the advantages and disadvantages of each, and made sure we looked at every property that was for sale in the area. Never pressuring us or oversell. You helped us narrow focus in order to get the home that best fit our needs. Your expertise was invaluable in navigating the many details involved with purchasing a new home and the change in lifestyle that we desired. If we could give you ten stars we would. You are the Best!

• ELAINE is the realtor you have always hoped to find. Personable but professional, ELAINE goes the extra mile to make your purchase not only happen but so smooth you barely notice it’s happening. ELAINE is not only very good herself, she has a wealth of excellent contacts who are tested and reliable. I, personally, would never use anyone else.

• Working with Elaine on the sale of our mother's house was like working with a trusted friend from the beginning. Her care and professionalism made the entire process go quickly and smoothly. Repeated thanks for your help, Elaine.

• I'm extremely pleased with ELAINE SIMM'S wisdom and expertise at selling my house during the Pandemic Quarantine. She advised me to make the best first impression possible, since she said, "you only get one chance." She arranged a professional cleaning, landscaping, minor repairs, and she staged the house and took photos--very helpful since I'm living two hours away. And ELAINE was right on the mark. Viewings on Zillow surged in the first few days, but dropped off quickly. I had a reasonable offer within a week, and we closed promptly. I am grateful for her professional advice and expertise. Plus, ELAINE is just a nice person!

• ELAINE SIMMS goes way beyond that "extra mile" in how she helps her clients! I moved to a different area of the state before my home sale closed. She took care of so many details that were left behind. I KNEW I could count on her! ELAINE'S attention to detail, rock-solid ethics and extensive experience in real estate added to her true caring for her clients, makes her a very special person AND an outstanding real estate agent. Thank you SO MUCH, ELAINE. You are the best!

• ELAINE has been my realtor for many years. Her years of experience and professional manner guided me through several sales and purchases, which for me are always emotional and stressful but she was always very helpful, detailed oriented, but more importantly trustworthy, which is the highest compliment I can give her. Thank you ELAINE.

• Working with ELAINE SIMMS at Ken Miller and Associates was an amazing experience. I met her when she sold my neighbor's house, and liked her professional demeanor. ELAINE and Ken Miller not only sold my house, ELAINE also found me the perfect condo. She was patient with me, as I had definite criteria. I highly recommend them.

• ELAINE was our agent and what a wonderful person she is. I live 1700 miles away and she worked with my schedule, met with me on time, is courteous, knowledgeable, experienced, dependable and answers your questions and is the most honest realtor I have ever met. She generally cares about her clients and works hard to get you what you want. If I needed her to go to the house to do something for me she willingly went completed and took care of what problem I had. ELAINE was very valuable when I needed or asked for a recommendation on a carpet cleaner or other workers I needed. Selling a house can be very frustrating but ELAINE made it easy. She has a great personality and I highly recommend her and her work ethic. Thanks again ELAINE. You are the best!

• I worked with ELAINE SIMMS for over seven months, searching for my "forever" home in Summerfield/King City. Her consistent support and positive attitude greatly alleviated what could have been a very stressful year. I really appreciated and benefited from her insider's expertise on the communities, and on the houses' construction as well. She pointed out a number of things over the months that I would not have noticed or been aware of on my own. She was amazingly responsive to emails 24/7, and was almost always able to show me properties as soon as I asked. She also gave me some great guidance during negotiations, and was 100% supportive of whatever I decided to do (we made a total of five offers over the seven months, resulting in three agreements of sale). In short, I always felt that Elaine was on my side, working to find me a house that I would love living in for the next 30 years. I recommend Elaine highly!!
  Carol McKee / Summerfield
  
  
  
• Elaine Simms did a fantastic job as our realtor. After our house was put on the market, there were several issues that needed to be addressed. To make it more difficult, we were no longer living in the area, and therefore needed Elaine to constantly be available. She was always willing and able and offered advise when needed. She made a stressful period in time more tolerable. The bottom line is we highly recommend Elaine Simms as a realtor.

• I enjoyed working with Elaine of Ken Miller & Assoc. Elaine provided honest information and guidance through the selling process. She guarded my interests and made sure I didn't "panic" when the first couple of "buyers" backed out at the 11th hour...and made sure I was made aware of every event that occurred. I would commend anyone into Elaine's care as their realtor
