When serving clients, I am “all-in”. I also require my teammates and vendors be all-in for you. My simple goal is to have your total trust to get the job done in the best way possible…as you would do for yourself if you could. It’s how we can earn your most enthusiastic referrals.
Each client also has their unique story, situation, goals, wants & needs. So I promise my approach will be carefully tailored to fit your needs best. My value to you lies in my years of experience, knowledge of homes, willingness to put in the thought & hard work, and ability to come up with solutions when problems arise. And they will. Being tenacious in serving you means A) the deal gets done, and B) we end up friends.
It’s about helping you create your success…and enjoying our journey getting there!
For me, the best things in life are quiet times shared with family, and friends both old and new. A good dog. A good friend. A great meal. A small celebration. A fly rod on a trout stream, fresh air on a back-country trail. My wife Suzanne and I forged our way to the Northwest in 1993 pre-kids and raised two here. It’s natural to me that I might have a spirit of adventure and a fondness for the outdoors…I share some DNA with Daniel Boone. No kidding.
Suzanne and I owned Sterling Mortgage from 1994 to 2008, and during my lending years, I can proudly say that when the mortgage world imploded from a variety of ills, we helped thousands of folks buy their dream homes the right way. Working through thousands of home purchases, I’ve covered ground that most Realtors never see.
With my Dad as the first of five Realtors in our family, I’ve steeped in the lingo and lifestyle of real estate for as long as I can remember. In true Portland fashion, I like to say I "up-cycled" my talents, moving from the finance (mortgage banker) side to the brokerage (Realtor) side. Kind of like changing lanes at 70 miles an hour, Now I get to do what's felt "right" to me for many years...really advocating for my clients during the most important and complex transaction they're ever likely to undertake.

Our experience with Mike Hall has been incredible. To say that Mike is customer focused in an understatement! From the time we meet him he’s made himself available to answer all our questions. At the start of our relocation experience, Mike made time to talk with us and understand our relocation concerns. He provided literally a ton of reading material and daily online real estate updates. All this information was incredibly useful in helping us select our new home. I called Mike on Father’s day, he was out of town, but made himself available late in the day to view our new home. After viewing we stopped by his office and made an offer on the home that same day! Since that time he’s coordinated all necessary home repairs and most importantly kept me updated with status frequently. Through-out this entire process his professionalism has been unparalleled. He is truly a pleasure to work with and I consider myself fortunate that he represented us as our real-estate agent. I don’t know if [Hasson] recognizes superior performance, but Mike most certainly demonstrates positive customer qualities and [Hasson] should be proud that he represents you so well.

As a part of Nike's relocation program, I was given the opportunity to be paired up with a great local realtor. After describing the type of person I was hoping to work with and the types of properties I was interested in buying, I was matched with Mike and this dude was everything we had hoped for and more. Mike was really patient with us. We knew what we wanted, and couldn't really find it, so he was really accommodating and help us think about other things we might want to explore, too. And he showed us well over a dozen homes, most of which were really cool and were home we considered, But we wanted to hold out until the right one came along. After a couple of months, Mike showed us a house and we knew it was the one. A beautiful custom-built home up in Forest Park on Skyline Boulevard that came with wooded acreage and even a guest house. From there, we were full speed ahead. On the day of closing, there were some complications with the mortgage broker . All along, Mike had been tremendous in his due diligence, and he told us early on that this "deal may have some hair on it" (Mike and his wife are very very familiar with the ins and outs of the mortgage industry). While the mortgage broker had assured us all along that there would be no issue, turns out that Mike was right. We dumped that lender, and he immediately helped us find a new lender who could help us close. Nobody likes to have to go through the mortgage process again, but the lender that Mike found for us was also a great local businessman, and this time we closed in two weeks without a hitch. We wouldn't be in our new house if it wasn't for Mike. The patience, knowledge, and authenticity were a game changer for us, and as long as we're in the Portland area, we won't work with anybody else.

Mike and Jenna were a great team giving us total confidence in the home buying process. We chose to work with them based on their willingness to work with us from afar and for their knowledge and honesty. We are really grateful for the amount of time and effort they put into finding the right home for us. We only wish they were licensed in Florida to sell our current home!

"We were very happy with our experience having Mike and Jenna as our realtors! They are professional and personable and very knowledgeable about the market. They were accessible and available during the entire process of selling our home; communicating updates, next steps, etc on a regular basis. They took the time and effort to make sure our home was well marketed. We highly recommend Mike and Jenna Hall!"

"Mike & Jenna are an amazing tag team. Given how crazy the housing market is, I attribute finding my current home (which I love) almost entirely to their diligence, responsiveness, and experience. I plan on referring friends and family if they're ever in need of a realtor. Working with them was hands down the best 'customer experience' I've ever had (even though it felt more like working on a team)."

"Working with Mike and Jenna was a dream! We were nervous to buy I’m such a crazy market, but they make it fun and low pressure. When we found a house we loved they moved quickly and accommodated our busy schedules. They were so patient with all of our questions and concerns, and the process felt like working with friends. Hope to work with them again in the future!"
