SOCIAL
NETWORKING
As a long standing top
producer in the market, the
Kaer Propety Group has an
extensive network of contacts
and connections throughout
the area. When Steve and his
team bring an offer to the
table, their knowledge,
negotiating skills and work
ethics are known and
respected. In this
competitive market, multiple
offers are not unusual and
having an expert realtor on
your side will make all the
difference. In addition, Steve
is a national real estate coach.
This national exposure
results in referral and
relocation opportunities.
The Kaer Property Group has
a comprehensive advertising
plan to keep properties
highly visible in a variety of
venues. This includes placing
properties on over three
hundred major websites and
carefully monitoring activity.
Properties are also
highlighted on the Kaer
Property Group and Keller
Williams website. This is in

flyers, signs and other forms
of marketing.

information. For some, social
media is the most efficient
way to connect and you will
find the Kaer Property Group
on social media including
Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn,
Twitter and more.

EXPERIENCE MATTERS
There are almost 7000 realtors in the metro area.
Recent sales data indicate that over fifty percent of
area real estate agents sell five or fewer properties
per year and less than two percent sell more than
two properties per month. Carefully check agent
experience and success especially in negotiating
multiple offer situations. In addition, ask for a list of
twenty recent clients that can be called for referrals.
After you have chosen an agent, the trust you have
established will come into play immediately when
you have those tough discussions about where to
price your property. An experienced agent will be
able to explain where your property should be
priced. Make certain you understand how the price
was arrived at including sales in the area and current
properties on the market.

HELPING YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS
The Kaer team is experienced in every facet of the market from first time
buyers, buyers moving up and clients planning for their retirement
lifestyle. You can trust the Kaer team to listen carefully to your goals to
understand why you are interested in making a transition and what is most
important to you. Are you looking for a home near an excellent school?
Have you found another home that is perfect for you but need to sell your
current property? Are you relocating for a business opportunity? Are you
interested in downsizing or upsizing? These are key questions when
developing a timeline and sales strategy.
With a clear understanding of your situation and needs, our team will get
to work helping you realize your goals. When advantageous to you, our
team will make suggestions designed to enhance the appeal of your
home. This may include advice on staging as well as repairs that will
optimize sales success. Our professional and experienced agents will
discuss pricing parameters based on extensive research. The pricing
discussion will include the pros and cons of pricing below the market, at
the market, and above the market. Statistics indicate that the best chance
of selling a property is in the first few weeks of marketing while the
property is fresh and exciting to buyers and to their agents. Although it is
clear that pricing is directly linked to fewer days on the market, the Kaer
team will work with you to find the balance between days on market and
the best possible outcome for you.

LISTING
With the Kaer Property Group
EXPERT ADVICE
Steve and his team will provide feedback on ways to
maximize property salability and price. The team will make
recommendations designed to appeal to a wide audience
and result in the highest price. If repairs or updating are
beneficial, they will offer suggestions for vendors with
proven records of exemplary service. This type of assistance
continues through inspection, closing and beyond.
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY
The vast majority of buyers see properties for the first time
on-line. Our experience is clear; the quality of photography
makes a difference. All homes are photographed by a
professional photographer specializing in residential
photography. The photographers used are chosen by
quality, not price. The Kaer Property Group chooses the best
and takes care of the cost. Marketing materials are
completed for each property utilizing these high quality
photos.
SUPPORT
Steve employs a professional dedicated support staff.
These salaried staff are committed to client support and
satisfaction. Each client is assigned their own support
concierge to make sure details are taken care of every step
of the way. If you have questions, Steve and his staff are a
phone call or email away.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Steve was highly recommended by several staff members at a local healthcare institution. With less than 3 days
advance notice before a holiday weekend, Steve went out of his way to accommodate our limited (and
changing) schedule in Portland. Prior to arrival, he took the time to share a 3-way call with my wife and I,
discussing the details of our lifestyle and what types of properties we were interested in viewing. He offered to
show us condos and homes for sale as well as apartments for rent. Steve arrived promptly at our location at the
scheduled time(s). He, along with his courteous team members, gave us a driving tour of all Portland
neighborhoods. My wife and I agree that this experience was like having a limo service with the added benefit
of a concierge and local real estate experts behind the wheel. As part of our experience with Steve and his
courteous team, my wife and I agree that everyone was candid, professional, and knowledgeable of the
Portland and LO areas. Steve even gave us recommendations for three different restaurants to try while we were
in town. He was 3/3, with thumbs up from the two of us for each of his recommendations. We ended up
selecting one of the first properties he took us to visit on the very first day. We look forward to working with
Steve and his accommodating staff in the future.”
“Knowledge and responsive staff who work hard to meet your needs, keep you informed throughout the
process, and simply are a pleasure to work with. Integrity is “Number One”. Thank you, again, for your recent
work with my family during a difficult time – you made it so much easier than it could have been. You know you
are in good hands with the Steve Kaer Group!”
“Buying or selling a home has never been more complicated, nor the need for a good realtor. Steve and his
crew are professional and they certainly got the job done for me in both selling a house as well as buying one.
After not having sold a house for fifteen years, I was amazed at the changes in terms of the details and
regulations you have to go through, but felt gratified that I had a true professional at hand the whole time.
Steve treats realty as a business profession, and that’s important. I was delighted to have him on our team to see
all the complications through to their successful conclusion.”

ABOUT THE KAER PROPERTY GROUP
“Steve Kaer was exceptional with the process of selling our home in Lake Oswego. He really knows each
neighborhood and the value of a home in Lake Oswego. He is a professional when it comes to negotiating and
explaining the assets to living in this community. Steve also was wonderful with the purchase of our new home. We
stayed in the same community and were so happy to have Steve at our side through this process.”
“Steve and his team were exactly what we needed! His knowledge of the market and the homes we were looking at
was a huge benefit to us at all stages of the process. Steve and his team were professional and well organized and
they consistently demonstrated a personal interest in our success with the home buying process.”
“Personal approach to researching what homes for our ideal instead of sending occasional automated emails without
any personal notes or suggestions.”
“Steve Kaer and his team are knowledgeable about the market and professional on all levels. They did an
outstanding job of moving the sale through all the processes. I will recommend them to friends.”
“Steve Kaer and his team are top notch. They give great advice without being pushy and are on the ball with
feedback, etc.”
“Steve Kaer and his team were very attentive to the details of my transaction. Since I live out of the Portland area,
they were very helpful with the repairs and other details that I could not be present to deal with. The closing was
effortless, again being done remotely as I could not be in Portland on the closing date. Very satisfied.”

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“I’ve not heard of a real estate agent as attentive or as knowledgeable as Steve. He is genuinely a wonderful person
who takes his job seriously and worked for us with passion. He listened to our needs and wishes and was respectful,
understanding, and did not show us houses that were inappropriate for our needs or our budget. We couldn’t be
happier with our new house!”
“We were very happy with Steve and have recommended him several times to friends. He knows the area very well as
well as the other local brokers. He listened to our needs and was able to make a somewhat tricky situation work out
for us. He was able to sell our home during the December holidays! We had a very quick close!”
“After not having sold a house for fifteen years, I was amazed at the changes in terms of the details and regulations
you have to go through, but felt gratified that I had a true professional at hand the whole time.“
“Steve treats realty as a business profession, and that’s important. I was delighted to have him on our team to see all
the complications through to their successful conclusion.”
“Steve Kaer – Good listener, knowledgeable, experienced.”
“I so appreciate professionalism, effeciency, character and results. This is Steve and his team to a tee. There was no
one better than Steve to sell a house in this neighborhood. This is his neighborhood and no one loves it more than
he does. That is until you buy a house from him...”

ABOUT THE KAER PROPERTY GROUP
“In moving from California, we were new to the Portland area, and Steve went above and beyond in helping us
explore the various neighborhood options, find a great property, and make the move between states. As a Portland
native, he has an invaluable wealth of local knowledge. He was always available before, during, and after the sale,
making sure everything went smoothly and ensuring we had made the transition as easily as possible. Not only has
he been a great realtor, he has become a great friend. I would recommend him highly and without reservation!”
“We have known Steve as a friend for 8 yrs and recently hired him as our real estate agent to sell our house and to
purchase a new house. This was one of the smartest decisions we have ever made. He is simply the best agent you
will ever find. Without Steve on our side, we would not have won the deal on the house we were purchasing. Steve
went above and beyond multiple times for us and the extra effort he put in is the reason why he is so successful. He
was very helpful all along the way with bringing in inspectors, architects, builders, plumbers, electrical contractors,
etc. to help with evaluating the home and providing suggestions for improvements. He knows the process inside and
out and kept things moving in a positive direction. His negotiation skills were excellent and was aggressive when he
needed to be. He never stops working. Even after the deal was done, Steve continued to follow up on certain topics
and always checked in to see if we were satisfied or needed anything. I would highly recommend Steve for
purchasing or selling your home. I don’t think you will find a better agent.”
