I connected with Heidi from a friend’s referral telling me Heidi was the most patient realtor ever. Which is what I knew I would need. She lived up to her reputation in spades.
I had a longish list of needs (and an even longer list of wants) and I was in a time pressured buying situation on top of that. Throughout the process Heidi always kept her agreements. She was proactive and organized so that I could relax on those details, has a shockingly good memory for the details of houses we had seen (and we saw ALOT), was never late to our meetups, showed market savviness and importantly gave encouragement when needed. I highly recommend!!

It was a pleasure working with Heidi to sell the same house she helped me to buy 21 years ago. She really knows the market in NE Portland and will get you the best possible price. Plus she can connect you with an awesome group of people who can help you finish up all those 'to do' list items. I enjoyed working with her again and especially enjoyed the drama free process and great sale price! 100% recommend.

We were fortunate to have Heidi Settlemier represent us on the recent sale of our home. She was recommended to us by close friends who had also recently sold their place in the Alameda neighborhood. In today’s market we were not sure on what to expect, and we were a little anxious about the selling process. But Heidi addressed both concerns. First, she provided a comprehensive market analysis that gave us a better sense on what to expect in values and what buyers were looking for. And, maybe just as important, she lowered much of our stress though her open, clear communication style that made all the difference in working through the selling process. We wholeheartedly recommend Heidi and would not hesitate to engage her again in the future.

Heidi helped us tremendously with our cross-country move to Portland, we truly could not have done it without her! Heidi's knowledge of the area is an incredible asset that really helped us understand the different neighborhoods and guided our decision-making process. She was great to work with during every part of the home buying journey, from coordinating repairs and managing timelines, to fighting to get us the best possible deal.

Heidi was recommended to my spouse and I by a friend, and it’s easy to see why she has so many word-of-mouth referrals. She is caring and trustworthy, and advocated strongly on our behalf. She took the stress out of the home buying process for us.
Definitely the kind of realtor you want to have in your corner. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Portland area, as she is incredible at what she does!

After my longtime realtor retired, and another realtor we tried to use was a complete dud, I was referred to Heidi from a trusted colleague. From the start, Heidi was an absolute professional and extremely knowledgeable about the Portland and surrounding area as we had cast a wide net for a property with certain attributes. Since technology these days allows the homebuyer to find homes fairly easily on one's own, I fully expected that I'd find the property myself and she would help us during negotiations. Although I were pretty diligent about searching, I was very pleasantly surprised when Heidi actually found the property we ultimately purchased and sent it to me, which gave us an advantage when we made an offer.
We were in a multiple offer situation with 3 others bidding on the home. Heidi was able to establish a rapport with the seller's realtor, and even though we were not the highest bidder, she was able to explain all of the reasons why we were the best buyer and we ultimately prevailed.
The time in contract was an absolute breeze because Heidi was with lock-step with us at every point, anticipating issues long before we did or the sellers did, and make that entire process extremely smooth for all parties involved. In the end, when the mortgage company failed to ensure the appraisal was done correctly and on time and it threatened the timing of the deal, Heidi did everything she could to ensure we closed on time, and I know although this was not her error, she personally agonized with me during those nail-biting days.
I've been through this process a number of times, and I know that there are always stressful issues that occur. Heidi is a centered professional with many years of experience to help guide anyone through home buying (and selling too I'm sure) and takes the load off of her clients. Any busy person (who isn't one of those?!) will appreciate that. I also just grew to love Heidi as a person - she is easy to talk and relate to, and I appreciate her commitment to the community. I will absolutely call her again the next time we buy and/or sell, and highly encourage anyone else to do the same.

Heidi is an absolute gem of a realtor. Our first time home-buying experience was a bit scary at first, but Heidi's expertise made it a seamless, worry-free process. Heidi is a Portland native and a local housing expert. She is extremely knowledgeable not only in the process of buying and selling properties, but also in repair values and market trends. She steered us away from buying a few houses that were not well-suited for our family. Heidi met deadlines in a timely and professional manner and guided us directly to our dream home! She was never pushy, or overbearing. I cannot recommend Alameda Realty enough if you are looking to buy or sell a property here in the Portland area. You will not regret it!

Heidi is amazing. She has the experience that gave us the comfort that we were in good hands, and her deep knowledge of the neighborhoods really is a differentiator. Not to mention her roledex of service providers, if you need them pre or post sale/purchase. Definitely a top tier realtor that I highly recommend.

We couldn’t be happier with the guidance and support Heidi provided through the sale of our home. Her expert knowledge of the market, our neighborhood, and where we should price our home, all led to an offer within 48 hours of being on the market! Heidi was kind, thoughtful, and engaged throughout the entire process. From our first meeting and throughout the process, Heidi felt like someone we had known for years. Her calm demeanor and long association with Portland real estate was a balm to these first-time home sellers. Heidi brings the innate knowledge of three generations to the table and it’s evident in her love of Portland. We may not have been led to Heidi via a referral, but we’d happily recommend her to anyone in need of a confident, knowledgeable, friendly partner in the home selling/buying process.
