Nikki Gardner

When working with me, buyers and sellers alike say they feel like they are my only client, and are surprised to learn that I’m giving the same care and attention to more than one person at a time!

I take great pride in knowing that my clients feel able to trust me. They can tell that I speak from experience (20 years of it, in fact), listen deeply, and honestly look out for their best interest. It’s extremely important to feel cared for while making big, important decisions like where to buy or how to sell. Let alone at a time when interest rates are so high and unpredictable! Whether it’s your first time navigating the real estate market or you’ve been around the block a few times—you haven’t navigated today’s market, so you’ll need someone knowledgeable in your corner. I know what kinds of nuances can make or break a deal, how to price a house so it won’t linger on the market and lose value, and I know how to make you competitive among other potential buyers.

As a lifelong Portlander with nearly 20 years of experience as an agent, I know the neighborhoods inside and out. I love getting to work closely with clients, and asking the questions that help me to understand what’s important to you, and what home will need to feel like. I especially love helping buyers become settled in the city I love more than any other—sharing recommendations for great outdoor adventures, restaurants in our unparalleled food scene, and the best places to pick berries!
