About - Amanda Hagen Real Estate

Hi, I’m Amanda. I am an educator at heart and am a perpetual student. I strive to always ensure that my focus remains on educating my clients so they feel empowered to make the best decisions they can for themselves.

How I did it

My journey

2005

The year I purchased my first home

Most of us remember the crash of 2008, and if its fallout didn’t impact you directly, you likely know someone it did. I purchased my first home in 2005. By late 2008 my home was worth half of what I purchased it for. Predatory lending was a huge factor in my crash experience. And I knew then and there that I wanted to ensure people buying and selling homes feel fully knowledgable with what they’re getting themselves into.

2017

The year I became a real estate agent

It took awhile to take action on becoming licensed, but from 2008 until 2019 I managed renters for the same home I purchased in 2005. It couldn’t be sold as we were way under water on it. So I then learned what it was like to go through several renters over the course of a decade. I dove into property management, contracts, laws, and starting noticing a spark. It was stressful, yes, but it was also thrilling. Once my kids were at an age that I felt comfortable going back to work, I got licensed. I hammered out the education and testing in a matter of a couple months and was well on my way.

Currently

Happily serving people all over the Portland Metro area

Since 2017 I have been serving people in the Portland Metro area and Yamhill County (otherwise known as Wine Country). I am a native to Oregon and have spent the better part of a decade living and working in Yamhill County (which means being very knowledgable with land and property purchases) and am excited to be living in Portland where I serve so many amazing clients from all walks of life. Being part of the LGBTQIA+ and Vegan communities, I take great pride in helping my fellow community members fulfill their dreams in homeownership.

My clients are saying

Client love

Amanda was a huge help to us. From prompting us to get our house listed by identifying specifically what we needed to do to getting it sold, and ultimately helping us find our dream home. Her calm demeanor and steady negotiating skills kept us on track throughout the process. She is highly organized and a strong advocate - this made a normally stressful situation easier than expected. Her constant assurance that things would work out, became reality. We are so thankful and give her the highest recommendation.

We lucked into Amanda as our realtor, and I’m very thankful that we did. I felt like she was very knowledgeable, skilled at negotiation, a great multitasker, and talented at keeping the stressful process of buying a home as low intensity as possible. She walked us through the whole process even coming to the escrow signing. Buying a home is stressful, having a strong advocate working with you is priceless. You are in good hands with Amanda.

Amanda was great through the whole process! We sold and bought at the same time which was a very stressful endeavor but she made it as simple and clean as possible and was very communicative. She responded right away to all questions and was there to support us through everything. Would highly recommend her and will use her again if we ever decide to move.

Amanda is the absolute BEST. We would not have been able to purchase our new home without her. We have used her for two home purchases and one home sale. I cannot stress how invaluable her skills are. Her knowledge, expertise, and finesse are unmatched. If you’re looking for the best realtor around, hit up Amanda; you won’t be disappointed!

Amanda was always available or quick to call back. She was efficient and knowledgeable. Amanda went above and beyond to sell both of our homes quickly and at a good price. We highly recommend her!

We had a wonderful experience with Amanda. She was recommended to us by a friend and she delivered! Throughout the process, she was patient with us, available when we needed her, and prompt with all her interactions. She advocated for our well being and was able to negotiate a fair contract and keep us involved and updated with all information. If/ when we enter the market again we will absolutely use her as our real estate agent!
