My husband and I decided to move from Seattle to Portland and buy our first home. We were looking for an agent who prioritized our interests above just "making a sale", and we found that with Carrie. Carrie is thoughtful, genuine, and down-to-earth.
Carrie has a profound knowledge of the Portland real estate market. We were looking in a very competitive price range, and homes were escalating well over list price. Carrie was strategic in helping us navigate the market. She got us the best house, in the best neighborhood, and it’s beyond what we could have imagined for ourselves.
When several challenging items arose during the inspection, Carrie truly fought for us. She is, hands down, an excellent negotiator. I genuinely believe that if we didn’t have Carrie on our side, the transaction might not have gone through. Carrie was calming and reassuring throughout the transaction.
Carrie is a wealth of knowledge with a good heart. We can’t recommend her enough!

Christy and Carrie did a fantastic job both helping us buy a new house and selling our prior house. They are wonderful to work with, very engaged, organized and responsive.

I got an early Christmas gift when Christy MacColl’s name was given to me as a realtor who could help me sell a rental property in Portland. I moved away from the Pacific Northwest 15 years ago so needed someone who could organize bringing the property up to “ready to sell” condition, deal with the 2 homeowner associations to which the condo belongs, price the property properly, list it and find a qualified buyer. Christy did all this efficiently, professionally and cheerfully. What could have been a stressful process went smoothly and was drama-free. I’ve come to trust her judgment and recommend her unreservedly.

Christy, Carrie and their team from Portland City Properties helped to "bookend" our 6 wonderful years in Portland from start to finish by both buying and selling our home which we loved. They and their family-based team have lived and worked in Portland for decades, so they know Portland and the surrounding areas amazingly well. They are also very well-connected locally, so when the inevitable real estate-adjacent issues (handyman, hauling, last-minute contracting needs) pop up unexpectedly, they take care of it efficiently and affordably. They're highly professional, available, communicative, provide helpful guidance without ever pressuring or rushing us. We refer every single friend moving to or buying/selling property in real estate to their team, and everyone who has taken us up on it has not regretted it.

As a retired realtor of 25 successful years, I highly recommend and repeatedly use for my own transactions Portland City Properties, a superb realtor team. They are about to assist me on my 4th transaction, proof they provide a high level of professional service.

Christy was extremely professional and kept in touch with us at least once a week, providing status and feedback on the sale of our home. We had already moved across the country so we greatly appreciated her looking out for us and the sale of our house. Thanks to Christy for making the sale of our house go smoothly and I would highly recommend Christy and her team for both buyers and sellers.

Christy and Carrie have provided me with excellent service and support over multiple transactions in the past 10 years. Each transaction was unique and they managed every detail flawlessly with an attention to detail that is exceptional. Their deep understanding of this market and this community is a tremendous asset and when they say they are "here for you", they REALLY mean it. Their support resources (back office, Title, etc.) are incredibly helpful and ensure a smooth transaction where nothing falls through the cracks. I am deeply grateful for their assistance with my most recent transaction.

Do yourself a favor and use Portland City Properties!! Carrie has been our agent through two house purchases and one sale. These experiences have affirmed for our family that any real estate dealings we have, will forever be with their team. Throughout the process we dealt with many other realtors and often left the experience talking about how lucky we were to have agents we trust and enjoy. Carrie and Christy are always available, organized, super knowledgeable and patient! There is no task they won’t participate in (they have rolled their sleeves up and swept, taken out trash, moved furniture - you name it) and aren’t competent at. Real estate can often feel overwhelming and scary. They are there to hold your hand through every moment and make the entire process comfortable.

We’ve had an outstanding experience buying a new home with the help of Carrie and Christy. Their work ethic is superb, they have a rigorous attention to detail while never losing sight of the big picture and, at every point, would go the extra mile for us. Nothing was too much for them - a highlight (among many) for me was Carrie getting under the crawl space and sliding through the mud (literally) with the engineer. Recommend without hesitation.

Best real estate brokers ever!!!! I had the best experience with Carrie, Christy and their team. They went above and beyond in so many areas. I was out of state while my house was on the market and they did so much to help me (especially when there was storm damage and they even managed the repair process). The level of professionalism is incredible and they truly care about doing the right thing and getting the best deal for their clients. Do yourself a favor and choose them!
Christy MacColl’s journey from Lincoln High standout to Portland real estate powerhouse reads like a true Pacific Northwest success story.
