How Frequently and by Which Methods Do You Communicate with Your Real Estate Clients?

Clear, consistent communication is the backbone of a successful real estate relationship—especially in Portland’s fast-moving housing market. When working with Lisa Mehlhoff Homes, Portland Realtor, you can expect a communication plan tailored to your needs, keeping you informed every step of the way without feeling overwhelmed.

For most clients, I check in at least twice a week during active phases of the buying or selling process. This includes market updates, feedback from showings, and strategy adjustments based on real-time data. If something urgent arises—like a new listing you should see or an offer on your home—I reach out immediately so you can make timely decisions.

Communication methods are flexible. Many clients prefer quick text messages for urgent updates, phone calls for important discussions, and email for documents and detailed information. I also use video updates and market reports to make complex information easier to understand. For out-of-town or relocating clients, virtual tours, video calls, and digital transaction tools keep the process seamless.

Why does this matter? In a competitive city like Portland, opportunities can appear and disappear in hours. Regular, responsive communication ensures you’re never left wondering what’s happening and that you can act with confidence when the right moment comes.

When you work with me, you get more than just a Realtor—you get a trusted partner who keeps you informed, prepared, and empowered from our first meeting to closing day.
