I recently had the pleasure of working with Virginia. Her thorough approach to the process stood out, ensuring nothing was overlooked. Her approach was strategic which offered valuable guidance to my client. Communication was top-notch and she was always prompt in responding. What I appreciated the most was her calm demeanor. Virginia is definitely someone I would refer my clients to!

I had done a lot of homework (youtube videos) on how to buy a home, especially in Portland. Based on that, I found Virginia to be the kind of buyer's agent that everyone would want. She was clearly on our side throughout the process, and brought her substantial experience and knowledge about the Portland real estate market to get us the best deal on the house we wanted. I was amazed how quickly she managed to get our inspections done and bids for repairs that enabled us to effectively negotiate on the price in the short time we were in Portland. We closed 10 days (8 business days) after our initial offer. She also turned us on to Bui Natural Tofu, which is a new fav place for Vietnamese takeout.

We started this process with little to no idea what we were doing, but we had a really good idea what we were looking for. We honestly could not have asked for a better experience than what we had with Virginia. Working with Virginia never felt like a client-agent relationship, but a partnership. You tell what you want, and what you need from her, and she delivers exactly those things.She was always quick to respond and consultative, giving us the information and feedback we needed, when we needed it. She also was great at sensing when we needed transparency through her own insights and experience, and conversely when we wanted space to think things through on our own. Virginia seamlessly managed everything from viewings, to submitting offers, to inspections, all the way through to closure. We always knew what to expect, and she delivered on every single one of her commitments.We can confidently say we would not have gotten our new house without her, and her network/connections, as we were given access to the house before it was even listed. One of the many examples during our experience with Virginia, where she demonstrated through her actions that she's not only fully invested in achieving an outcome, but that she genuinely cares about you and this next step of your journey.

If you are looking for a real estate partner who will work tirelessly for you and make your wildest dreams come true, look no further. I am new to the home buying world, and even newer to the selling a home world. And with high interest, a pending recession, and homes sitting on the market longer than before, even thinking about buying or selling in this market was overwhelming. In step the incredible Virginia Barden. Virginia is the real estate agent you dream of. One who will support you through each decision with calm intentionality while demonstrating her tenure and deep knowledge of the market and home buying/selling experience. In less than 30 days of me emailing Virginia we listed my home, received multiple offers over asking (in 5 days), closed, and then purchased and moved me into a new home in yes, you read that right, less than 30-days. When you have the right team working with you anything is possible.

Virginia is an excellent communicator and demonstrates great instincts and foresight. She takes the time to listen and works with what you're comfortable doing or not doing; insuring that whatever decision you've come to, you have options if things don't go according to plan.She worked with me to sell my home when the time was right for me, listened to my ideas and makes a great partner through the process. I found it super helpful to bounce ideas off of her and she was always game to utilize her experience to enhance them. You'd do well if you choose to work with her!

Virginia helped us buy our first home! Not only did she help us buy our first home, but she helped us by our first home from out of state, during an insanely competitive time to buy a first home. Not only did she do all this, but she helped us get our first home under asking price. kind of amazing.Virginia is so helpful, smart and on-it. She goes above and beyond and exceeds all expectations. Virginia is with you for the entire complicated process of buying a home and makes the whole thing seem less intimidating.We couldn't be happier with everything. Best realtor ever.

My husband and I didn’t know exactly what we wanted in a house, but we knew what we wanted in our experience: to find our home alongside a patient, honest and trusted partner who sincerely wanted the best for us. We found that ten-times over with Virginia. She provided unending guidance at every step and her record for winning homes for her buyers speaks to her intimate knowledge of Portland’s cutthroat market. When it came time for us to make an offer, she used her well-honed negotiation skills to win us our home — she even had the listing agent rooting for us. I simply can’t recommend Virginia enough. She is exactly what you want in a real estate agent.

Buying your first home can be overwhelming but Virginia was there for me every step of the way. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about the ins and outs of homes, she is an excellent realtor. I wouldn't have been able to secure my dream home without her. I cannot recommend her more. Two of my friends have worked with her now to buy their first homes as well. A++

Virginia is amazing on many levels! She took the time to hear the story of my home and the many memories of raising my daughters in it. Her thoughtfulness and attention to details helped to ease the stresses that can come with selling your home. She was always available to talk through any questions and concerns which I found to be very helpful. Her ability to connect with people and her resourcefulness makes the entire process smooth with a clear understanding of what is next.

Virginia Barden is excellent! She helped me and my husband purchase our first home. She is kind, warm, honest, intelligent, incredibly hard working and communicative. She is absolutely devoted to helping her clients find a loving home that suits their needs and budget. We worked with Virginia for a few months during the start of Covid. We bought our home site unseen and trusted her completely. I would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home!

Virginia is the that calm center in the hurricane. Despite some sticky issues in the sale of our house she was always calm and reassuring.

Virginia recently helped me buy my first home and even with all of the extra complications of the covid crisis she was very effective and always had an answer for any problems that presented themselves. Literally could not have done it without her and I’d highly recommend that anyone thinking of buying a home in Portland call her first.
