Sold Home in the Woodstock Neighborhood
Sold Home in the Woodstock Neighborhood

Shayna is the real deal. We decided to sell our Portland home to move to the East coast after we were already out there and Shayna made an otherwise potentially stressful process go smoothly. She represented our interests well, coordinated with local vendors to get the home ready to sell, was always available, and was overall a delight to work with. She is in this business for the right reasons and her integrity really shines through. We are so grateful to have found her.

We used Shayna Denny to sell our home in 2018. We were so happy with our experience that we asked her to sell our Portland rental in 2021. Both houses sold quickly with her expert navigation and detailed communication. It’s stressful enough to sell your home but Shayna makes it a very smooth process. We are in another state now and wish only that Shayna could sell us a house here!

Shayna helped us buy our first home and it was a completely painless process. She did all the heavy lifting. She pointed out all the things we would never have noticed (good and bad things). She paid attention and learned what we did and didn’t want so she could find the right homes to show us. All her tips helped us get the first house we put an offer on. A wonderful realtor and a great person to know. I highly recommend.

So excited. It’s the best. Shayna, you’re great at what you do. Thank you sincerely for all of your leadership and support through this. It’s been a fun month for us, and I attribute a lot of that to how you just handle stuff and are very present with our process. Thanks!

Shayna came highly recommended to us through our lender when we unexpected found a home we just had to have. As first time home buyers, Shayna’s knowledge helped us navigate the whole process. Her calming and positive attitude kept us sane when an issue came up during the inspection. She was always in communication with all involved parties and kept us up to date with any news. We would recommend Shayna to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Shayna was such a pleasure to work with to buy my first house in Oregon while still living out of state. She is very responsive and supportive. She knows the area well and answered all my questions and inquiries quickly. I really appreciated how supportive and patient Shayna was during the process. I highly recommend her!!

Shayna helped me sell my house when I moved from Portland to Washington D.C. I couldn’t have asked for a more helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to work with realtor. She went above and beyond after I left and made sure that everything was taken care of. Highly recommended!

As a professional Home Inspector in the Portland area for nearly 20 years, I’ve met and interacted with hundreds of realtors – and trust me when I say, only a small handful of them have demonstrated the professionalism and almost instinctive level of competence that Shayna has. She helped me with three transactions in 2019, and all of them were so trouble free, I nearly forgot that I was even buying or selling anything at all. Even when things went sideways (and they always do) she handled it with perfect cadence, notifying me immediately when it was important, while also filtering out administrative noise at the same time. She’s responsive, friendly, easy to work with, and is always eager to help. So when it comes to real estate, she’ll be my go-to person every time – hands down.

Shayna was referred to me by my former tenant who met her while purchasing a home. I am pleased that my tenant had recommended her because she was immediately helpful in determining the best way to sell my home. I lived across country when my tenant moved out. However, she was very helpful and  visited the house before we listed to help me to determine the best projects to focus on to get the house sold. I appreciated her experience and insight of what elements are most important to a potential home buyer. The house sale was very smooth. I was out of state during the entire sale/closing process and had no issues. Shayna was available when I reached out to her with clear and supportive communication. Highly Recommend!

Jamie Behnke went above and beyond to help us find our dream home in the middle of a pandemic! This isn’t the first home I’ve bought, but this is the first time I walked away feeling like the best possible person represented my family’s needs. Jamie took our wants and desires and covered hundreds of miles around Portland to find our farm. We had very specific needs and she addressed every one them and even thought of a few to suit us better. She offered her opinion instead of acting like a realtor robot. This woman is brilliant! She knows the entire area around Portland intimately. I couldn’t ever ask for anything more since she thought about a lot of it before we did. Five stars isn’t enough!

Shayna worked quickly and efficiently to get our house sold. She provided helpful tips for readying the house for sale, provided recommendations for any needed work to be done on the house and provided excellent professional photographs that were gorgeous. She is very communicative, always  accessible, and negotiates well with other agents to get the best deal for her clients. We will work with her again.

We loved working with Jamie! She has such a fun personality, and she was so patient with us! She kept us updated on what was going on with the market, and she has a lot of knowledge about the areas that we looked in. She knew our priorities and what was important to us in a home, and she showed us  homes that would fit those needs. We love our home, and we owe it all to her! I would recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a home, and if we decide to move, we’re definitely reaching out to her!

Shayna was a real pleasure to work with. She is super friendly and approachable yet professional. She is very knowledgable about the Portland real estate market, and she is also incredibly responsive and available. She even put us in touch with an excellent loan officer for our mortgage.

We loved working with Shayna so much that we have already recommended her to several of our friends who are looking to buy a home. We definitely recommend her to anyone!

I had a stellar experience working with Shayna Denny. She was an island of sanity in the often very frustrating process of selling a home — especially one you have loved and cared for many, many years. Shayna was able to meet, understand and respect that feeling in the ways she took care of the sale.

Besides boldly discerning the value of my home, she also greatly fulfilled that promise, selling my home within 3 days.

I never doubted that she was in my corner, caring for what was important to me. When I was overwhelmed, she had the calm overview. Her experience, as well as who she is as a person, made me trust her 100% throughout the process — something I did not expect to find in a realtor.

If you are about to buy or sell a home, I recommend Shayna Denny 100%. It was such a great experience to have her by my side throughout the process.

Shayna and I spoke about my family’s relocation far in advance of when we arrived in Portland for our in-person home hunting. She gave me lots of information that I needed from a distance before we even met in person. Shayna was willing to even videotape houses if we could not see them in person. What amazing service!

In an extremely difficult (for buyers) Portland real estate market, Shayna did an excellent job helping us purchase our home. She was always available immediately when we needed her, and she showed us many properties at our last minutes’ notice.

Shayna was very patient and helpful as we looked at many properties. She went over the details, features, and function of every home we saw. She is very professional and also a very kind and caring person.

Shayna is the definition of a hard working professional. She will do everything possible to find the house you want and will work with you to meet your needs based on your schedule.

Working with Shayna was a great experience and I will always work with her for future home sales and purchases. I highly recommend her.

Shayna was incredible to work with. She complied with every question my wife and I had while making the huge move from Oklahoma to Oregon. She made house hunting easy for us from 2000 miles away.

I would definitely recommend Shayna to anyone who is looking for a kind, patient, observant, and extremely helpful realtor in Oregon.

Shayna calmly navigated me through a very stressful couple of months. Things were moving incredibly fast when an inspection report on the home I was hoping to buy came back with too many red flags. I quickly backed out of that deal, but we had already sold my existing house. Fortunately, Shayna quickly got me into the house I was supposed to buy all along.
