As a native of the area, I have a deep appreciation for Portland’s amazing and vibrant neighborhoods and know them very well. It might go without saying that my knowledge of Portland, combined with my belief of what a home means to a person or family creates a dynamic and personal approach to any home purchase or sale process. I cannot separate one from the other, which makes working with me a unique and enjoyable experience where you feel heard, valued and represented well. A curious adventurer at heart, I began flying planes at an early age, which only increased my hunger to travel and explore the world. My journeys instill a profound love of culture and diversity, while also solidifying my enjoyment of cooking, wine tasting, architecture and more. Exploring the world has also taught me that… 1)    I love Portland tremendously. We are rich in diversity, we have homes and neighborhoods for any taste and lifestyle. And, we are fortunate to live in a gorgeous area, which is conveniently situated between ocean and mountain. We have it all. 2)    I am truly designed to go to the ends of the earth for people – especially my clients, many of whom I consider friends. I not only embrace that understanding, but I live it.

Zach and his team were an absolute dream to work with from our initial consultation through to closing on the sale of our home. Zach took the time to listen to our needs while also setting very clear expectations of what to expect in the selling process. We couldn’t have asked for better listing photos and the end result was a quick and easy sale that we couldn’t have been happier with. Thank you Zach and team!

Colby A - Portland, Oregon: 2021-11-21

I was on the market for my first home and reached out to Zack, and am very glad I did! Zack made the whole process as easy as it could be for me. He was very responsive, clear, available, and always on top of things. I truly felt like he was on my side throughout the whole process. I’ve recommended Zack to friends of mine and will continue to do so.

Kelsy J - Portland, OR: 2021-08-26

I hired Zack to sell my home in March of 2020 with hopes of using the equity to buy a larger home. The selling process, in the peak of the pandemic and not having a new home lined up for my family to buy in this wild housing market was stressful and anxiety-provoking, but Zack kept me calm. I decided to temporarily rent to allow enough time to make an offer on a home I felt confident and happy with. I ended up going new construction so the transaction on the purchase end was long and drawn out but Zack was by my side every step of the way until closing. Highly recommend Zack and his team for all your buying and listing real estate needs!

Amy U - Portland , Oregon : 2021-07-17

Zach is amazing to work with! He went above and beyond to make our home buying experience seamless. Zach was knowledgeable, helpful and made this process incredibly easy. His guidance and help was very much appreciated. He truly cares about his clients and understands their needs. Zach always reminded us that what is meant to be will always feel right and he was absolutely right! We are in the home of our dreams and we couldn’t have done it with Zach and his team on our side!

Amy Q - Lake oswego, Or: 2021-07-16

We have now used Zack for 4 home sale transactions, and each time has been a wonderful experience. Zack is a great resource- he has a wealth of knowledge about home design, remodeling, home values, and of course real estate markets. He’s honest and trustworthy, and perhaps most importantly he is driven. When you look for a real estate agent, you want someone who will see the big picture and can help you write an offer that will be accepted over others, or a sellers agent who will help ensure you get the best offer possible for a home you are selling. Zack is that person. We couldn’t recommend him more!

Lynde W - Gresham, OR: 2021-07-14

Zack recently helped us sell our home. He got our home listed while we were out of state, had staging coordinated, and had beautiful photos taken of our home. Our home sold above asking price. We couldn’t have been more pleased. This wasn’t the first time we worked with Zack. He’s always been professional, given great advice, and has been on top of things. His team is growing which means more hands on deck. I highly recommend working with Zack! And if you’re as lucky as we are, you’ll end up having a great friend when things are all said and done!

Nick J - Gresham, OR: 2021-07-14

Zack and his team were wonderful! Helped us sell the house after we left the area and the transaction went very easy, he made a stressful situation simple with no issues. Thanks again Zack!

Bruce H - Portland, Oregon: 2021-05-07

My husband and I were so fortunate to choose Zack as our realtor for buying our first home in Portland! We actually found him first on NAGLREP and later saw all of the positive reviews on Zillow and other real estate websites. We can attest that all of his positive reviews are founded and true! He got in contact with us very quickly. During phone calls and meetings, he answered every single question we had with confidence and a sense of reassurance. We were bought our first home while we were still living in another state, and for our first trip to Portland, he organized an amazing tour of houses that interested us, and even had us over to his house for dinner! He advocated for us during the contract process and was very up front about the reality of buying a home in such a hard market. He is extremely knowledgeable about the housing market, and we trusted his opinion to the word throughout the process. He has a great eye and sense of what works. Through video calls, text, and email, my husband and I found the perfect home that fits all of our needs! AND he got the house AT asking price! We could not recommend Zack any higher, and we will definitely use him again for our next home!

Taylor H - Tigard, OR: 2021-04-17

My wife and I worked with Zach Ostrom and Andy Johnson to purchase our first home. As a queer couple it was important to us to have realtors who shared our values. We didn't feel judged as we were explaining our growing family's wants and needs. Zach and Andy went the extra mile to get to know us and help us feel assured and validated. They were very knowledgable and created a pressure-free environment. As first time home buyers, we naturally had a lot of questions and Zach and Andy were highly responsive to these. In this frenzy housing market, we experienced lots of highs and lows, including losing out on a house 3 days before final closing, and they were very supportive every step of the way. Andy went on house tours with us and always stayed after to debrief. Zach was a master negotiator and was excellent at keeping us well-informed so we were aware of all our options, yet he helped us feel like we were calling the shots. We are very happy with our new home and we would recommend them to any friend or family member.

Rachael S - Happy Valley , OR: 2020-12-21

Zack is incredible! His commitment and understanding of our unique situation made both our buying and listing process easy. He is perceptive, honest, communicative, responsive, and straight to the point. His forwardness saved us so much time, as did his extensive knowledge about real estate and the local community.

Lisa G - Fairview, Oregon: 2020-12-03

Zack is very knowledgeable and when I sent him a question I received a quick response with an answer. He also worked well with the mortgage company and the title company which made the whole process run smoothly. I will highly recommend him to anyone I know looking for a realtor.

Katie T - Clackamas, OR: 2020-12-03

What can I say? Zack is great. He’s knowledgeable, committed, and always available. He and his team truly care and are committed to the process from the beginning to the end and beyond. Selling and buying in this crazy market was a wild ride, and I’m so glad to have had Zack leading the way. His honesty, pep talks, and ‘gentle pushes’ were just what I needed—even if I’ll never admit it to him.

Yuki T - Portland, Oregon: 2020-11-24

Zack helped my partner and I recently purchase our first home. We were novices and had a lot of questions along the way. Zack was always available to answer our questions and guided us through the process step by step. His positive attitude, expert knowledge of the local market and honest insight gave us peace of mind in what could have been a very stressful process. We were out of town during the inspection process and Zack went above and beyond to step in and help. We are so grateful to have worked with Zack! I highly recommend Zack if you're looking for someone to guide you through the home buying process.

Jordan W - Portland, Oregon: 2020-09-08

Zack was great to work worth. I really appreciate him getting me through the buying process and into my first home. He knows the market really well and was incredibly responsive to any questions I had. On top of that he was able to secure a significant seller credit for me that I can now put back into the property.

Addison K - Portland, OR: 2020-06-09

Zack was (is) incredible. We were first time homebuyers and knew pretty much nothing, and Zack walked us through all the nooks, crannies, and nuances. He was extremely on top of it, communicated clearly, was super friendly and fun to work with, and we really jived with his sense of humor - all while being a true professional. He talked us off ledges and went full bulldog when we needed him to. We couldn’t be happier with our new home!!

Kelsy J - Portland, OR: 2020-04-15

So glad we were referred to Zack to sell our home! He told us exactly what we needed to do to help the house sell, and gave us a realistic and fair price point. Within days of being on the market, we went pending with a full price offer! Needless to say, selling our home during a global pandemic was incredibly stressful, but Zack always kept us updated with the transaction. He negotiated us out of having to do any repairs. I would highly recommend him to anyone trying to sell their home quickly and for the highest price, he was awesome!

Jeremy S - Portland, OR: 2020-03-21

Made the process seamless. Talk to you off a ledge when I needed it and showed absolute mastery of the real estate transaction. You will not be disappointed if you go with him.

Kennedh K - Portland , Oregon : 2019-10-09

Easy to work with and a great communicator. Always there when needed and helpful at every step of the way! Made what can be a very stressful purchase, fun, smooth, and safe . We felt taken care of and well represented throughout the process.

Erin B - Portland, Oregon: 2019-10-09

I honestly cannot adequately express how amazing Zack Ostrom was as both our buyer’s and seller’s agent. Zack took the time and care to meet with me on numerous occasions before we listed our tiny starter home in NE Portland to discuss each step of the process of listing and buying a home at the same time. He went above and beyond in helping us navigate and understand the process. After only two days on the market, we received an offer over our asking price and were putting an offer on our new home less than three days later. Zack helped us navigate a complex set of interests and needs in identifying our perfect next family home. He kept us sane and true to our goals. He was honest and thoughtful in consulting with us on finding our next dream home. He is warm and personable and smart as a whip. Every time a difficult issue would arise in the negotiations, he seemed to effortlessly deal with it and always to our advantage. Both sales closed within a week of each other and we could not be happier with the entire experience. Zack is a truly savvy and thoughtful professional and I will never do another real estate transaction in my life without him involved.

Jennifer Z - Portland , OR: 2019-10-09

Zack is the best. Wouldn’t trust anyone else with my homebuying needs!

Lindsay B - Portland , Oregon: 2019-10-09

Zack is personal, professional, knowledgeable about the market, and extremely responsive. Would recommend to anyone looking for an honest agent that could easily become a friend!
