"I’m so grateful to have had them by my side"
I truly cannot say enough good things about Elisha and Taryn at Kinected Realty. They helped me buy my Portland home and when it came time to sell, there was no question I wanted to work with them again. That alone says everything.
They made what can be a really overwhelming process feel easy, clear, and even enjoyable. They were always there to answer questions, talk things through, and offer honest advice. It genuinely felt like they cared about me, not just the transaction.
Their knowledge of the Portland market, attention to detail, and constant communication gave me so much peace of mind. They truly go above and beyond, and it shows in every step of their work. Working with them the second time felt just as supportive and seamless as the first.
If you are looking for real estate agents who are professional, kind, trustworthy, and incredibly good at what they do, Elisha and Taryn are it. I’m so grateful to have had them by my side for both buying and selling my home. -C.K.

"They quickly earned our trust"
We bought our very first home with Taryn and Elisha, and we could not have dreamt up a better experience.
They quickly earned our trust with their extensive knowledge, honest guidance, patience, and authenticity.
Even though it was a crazy market, they managed to keep it low stress. They work together seamlessly and strike the perfect balance between professional and personable, patient and efficient, and respectful and direct. It really felt like they had our best interest in mind, and while they lent invaluable insight and expert perspective, they also listened to and honored our needs and wants.
Their extensive knowledge of each stage of the process and their strong connections with repair and crafts persons in the community added to the feeling of being well cared for from start to finish.
We will definitely go back to them for any future buying or selling and could not recommend them more! -Julia & Michele

"We really lucked out..."
We really lucked out when a coworker recommended Elisha and Taryn to us! This was our first time buying a home, and from the get-go Elisha and Taryn established clear communication and made us feel comfortable asking as many questions as we needed.
We worked mainly with Taryn when it came to looking at properties, and she was incredibly accommodating to our schedule while also helping us set realistic expectations as we evaluated which properties would be a good fit for our family.
When the time came to put an offer on a property we really loved, we felt incredibly supported by Taryn and Elisha both. Not only do they know their stuff, but they were really great about alerting us to next steps in the process or information we might be receiving from the sellers, mortgage broker, and title company.
Taryn and Elisha's communication and attitudes throughout this process added a sense of calm and ease to what was a very fast-moving and stressful process at times. I am so glad we worked with them and will definitely reach out to them for future real estate needs!!

"They truly have your best interest at heart"
We cannot recommend Elisha and Taryn (Kinected Realty) enough!
Working with them is a dream—they are patient, clear, and unbelievably responsive. They guided us through securing our dream vacation home, navigating a competitive market with expertise and care.
They previously helped us with a mid-term rental, and both experiences were flawless.
They truly have your best interest at heart, advocating for you through inspections and negotiations to get the best outcome.
We are so blessed to have found not just a fantastic realty team, but lifelong friends. Thank you, Elisha and Taryn!

"These ladies look out for you"
As a first-time home buyer, I found Elisha and Taryn incredibly helpful and welcoming to the process. They were very responsive to all of my requests and questions! They listened to my ideas but were realistic about price, quality, and age of homes as they respectfully helped me understand the state of the market. When we found my home, they walked me through every step of the process making it easy and straightforward. When negotiating with the seller, they fought for me for things I would never have known to ask for. Now I have a home that’s perfect for me with a lower interest rate for several years in a beautiful community! These ladies look out for you. Will be going back for my next move down the road! —JP

“....They were PRESENT”
Elisha and Taryn at Kinected Realty were the true definition of professional.
They were knowledgeable, responsive, and efficient during the entire purchasing process. More importantly, they were PRESENT. Always willing and able to explain the why’s, or respectfully challenge when applicable.
If given the choice again, we wouldn’t choose anyone else to handle our realtor needs, and we wouldn’t hesitate to refer them to anyone, friend or family in the future.
Did I fail to mention that we are the happy new owners of our dream home? Thank you Kinected for making past dreams our current reality. 🖤🙏🏾 —Marshall and Lacy

"They gave me honest feedback"
Working with them was so enjoyable. I could tell that Taryn and Elisha loved what they did and genuinely wanted to learn about my goals for the sale and make the process as easy as possible. Given that I was travelling half the time during the selling process, I couldn't have felt more supported and trusting in the people on the ground. They gave me honest feedback, tangible advice, frequent communication, and realistic expectations - which in the end, were blown out of the water by my offer!
I've already recommended them to anyone who asks and will keep doing so.
Thank you for making what many consider a hellish ordeal one of the fondest! —Christina
-
"They were there every step of the way"
We worked with Elisha and Taryn when we bought our condo, and when it was time to sell, we knew we'd want to work with them again.
They were there every step of the way, setting us up for success. They were knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything so that we fully understood the entire process. Thanks to them, both buying and selling went smoothly.
We are so thankful to have worked with both of them and can not recommend them enough! —Emily and Chris
-
"Couldn't have asked for a better experience"
Both Elisha and Taryn were a delight and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I was impressed with the responsiveness to my questions and issues along with so much helpful advice through the buying process all the way up to after the purchase.
They will be my first choice on recommendations to anyone who asks for a Realtor and they would be foolish not to work with you both. I felt so well taken care of and attended to, while I hope to not have to buy another home, at least I know I have two people I can depend on to get me through it.
Thanks so much! —Kyle

"I appreciated her honesty and transparency..."New List Item
I am so grateful for Elisha’s hard work and dedication.
I referred Elisha to a relative who was settling a family member's estate and was not easy to work with.
Elisha’s professionalism, market knowledge, kindness, and patience, really soothed my relative’s angst.
I appreciated her honesty and transparency throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Elisha to whoever is looking to buy or sell real estate. —AK

"I felt very fortunate to have them on my side"
The team at Kinected Realty were an absolute pleasure to work with. I felt very fortunate to have them on my side. They were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process making the entire experience a very positive and smooth one.
I would definitely work with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell. Thank you all again! —George
-
"Hands down 10/10"
Working with Elisha and Taryn was amazing, front to back!
They were both incredibly knowledgeable and responsive, had my back, and felt like I had a power team in my corner at every minute of the process.
Hands down 10/10, thank you both so much! —Galen
-
"...Always put us at ease"
Buying a home, as I’ve come to realize, is very stressful to say the least!
Having Elisha and Taryn to rely on and knowing any questions my wife or I had would be answered with confidence made it a much better experience and always put us at ease. —Greg B.

"If you need a sign to choose this team - THIS IS IT!"
Elisha and Taryn are the best of the best. These ladies are FAST and know how to perform in a booming market. When we began our search, we had no idea what we were looking for but knew we needed a yard for our pup, a room for our new baby, and a spacious kitchen. The team found the absolute perfect house for us and we put in an offer a day after it was listed.
The team was on top of each checkpoint throughout the process to ensure we were on track to close before I went out of town for work. The team made an effort to include us in every step of the way and went above and beyond to make the house feel like a home the moment we stepped in the door. We received the most beautiful hand-painting of the house and noticed the small details they’d left for us. We were so excited to become first-time homeowners and were finally able to give our pup his big backyard. They provided the best first experience we could have gotten - and if you need a sign to choose this team, THIS IS IT! —Maddy & Caleb

"Knowledgeable woman who made it a point to be engaged, direct, and charismatic with each new home they showed me"
Kinected Realty, specifically Elisha, Molly, and Taryn, were an amazing team of realtors to work with. A professional company with knowledgeable woman who made it a point to be engaged, direct, and charismatic with each new home they showed me.
I then chose to use them to list and sell my home and I was not disappointed. The process was streamlined so that I did not have to take time away from work or moving, Elisha and her team handled everything! When I asked for specific points to be highlighted in my listing, the Kinected Realty team made sure they understood exactly the parameters of my request so that they could represent my home as if it were their own home. Last minute when I needed an outlet fixed, or an adjustment to my staging, Elisha had contractors and personnel on hand to assist me. I would highly recommend this awesome team of woman for your next residential or investment property!

"This has been the best experience we've ever had buying a home..."
Shane and I have been beyond impressed with how smooth this process has been! The three of you are a dream team! This has been the best experience we've ever had buying a home (and there's been quite a few!). You all have been so kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable from start to finish - as if we were your only clients.
We appreciate you working with us through FaceTime, a different time zone, and even vacation. You all seemed to be one step ahead at all times and truly made the most stressful part of this transition, the easiest one.
You've got customers for life! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making one our dreams come true.
—Hannah and Shane

"My experience with Elisha and Taryn was truly special"
My experience with Elisha and Taryn was truly special. From finding my new home to selling my old home, they walked beside me through every step of the way. They made sure paperwork for both properties was handled correctly and on time. They scheduled and managed inspections, needed repairs, and the little extra things that I didn’t think about. When it came to repairs, they got multiple quotes and recommendations.
All this finds me happily in my new home knowing that I had the best team possible to make this complicated process as easy and seamless as possible. Thank you so much! —Kristy

"You're all great at what you do and each of you brings a unique perspective and personality to the table"
Thank you so much. All three of you. It was a genuinely great experience working with you all. You're all great at what you do and each of you brings a unique perspective and personality to the table. I know Belinda and I were super grateful for all of the help and guidance that we got during this process. While I'm happy that this experience ended up being a pretty quick one, I'm a little bummed that we don't get to keep working with you. I'm certain that we'll be reaching out in the future if we are ever looking to sell or buy another place. Again, thank you. I cannot say it enough. —Merik and Belinda

"They are so brilliant at what they do, it allowed us to have peace of mind and enjoy the adventure"
Buying or selling a house can be one of the most exciting and overwhelming times. My wife and I have now been on both sides of that roller coaster and our only advice to anyone getting ready to board is to find yourself an amazing team like Kinected Realty.
This team is made up of talented, kind, knowledgeable and full of fun women. They are so brilliant at what they do, it allowed us to have peace of mind and enjoy the adventure. We can't recommend them enough!
—Mliss and Amy

"We will be recommending your team to anyone that even mentions the word house..."
We have been so impressed with your team’s work and will be recommending your team to anyone that even mentions the word house to us in the future.
Lauren’s also going to tell the admin person for her physician group to start recommending your team to everyone.
—Greg and Lauren

"The energy and attention we received was above and beyond what we expected..."
Buying a house out of state in such a competitive market was surprisingly not as stressful as I thought it would be and that was 100% because of the amazing team we worked with. The energy and attention we received was above and beyond what we expected or what typically is received in a realty transaction.
Elisha, Taryn and Molly not only helped us find our home and make the move to Oregon as seamless as possible, but the support after closing was incredibly helpful and appreciated. I really can’t say enough. —Karri and Eric
-
"They are extremely knowledgeable, organized and savvy..."
From the moment we started working with Elisha, Taryn and Molly, I relaxed and knew the sale of our house was in capable and dependable hands.
They were always available for our questions and to address any concerns that popped up. This team was not only fun to work with, but they are extremely knowledgeable, organized, and savvy in this unique housing market.
Their service far exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend them to anyone.
—Amber and Evan
-
"I can't think of a better team to work with..."
This is the second time we have worked with Elisha and her team and I must truly say that it has been once again an amazing experience. They helped us a couple years ago with the purchase of our first home and this last time they helped us with the purchase of a rental home.
With the way the market is right now purchasing a home was a little different, but with their patience, excellent communication and knowledge it was definitely a smooth purchase.
I can't think of a better team to work with and 100% recommend them!
—Jenny & Jorge
-
"I always feel so well cared for during the process..."
This is the second time I’ve worked with Taryn, Elisha and Molly and it just keeps getting better and better. I have been lucky enough to buy my first home, sell said home and buy a second with this team.
Everything has gone so smoothly and they made each piece of the puzzle so easy and communicated about everything along the way so there were never any surprises. Any question I had was answered in a timely manner, they helped facilitate little things, big things and made sure Iwas taken care of every step of the way.
I cannot recommend a better team to work with when buying or selling your home. The attention to detail, communication and strength of this team can’t be matched! Everyone brings something to the table and I always feel so well cared for during the process and after. —Sadie

"Their knowledge, expertise and willingness to go the extra mile was best in class!"
Working with Elisha and her team - Molly and Taryn was a dream. Their knowledge, expertise and willingness to go the extra mile was best in class! Their first priority is their client and speaking as one, I knew that from day one.
I would highly recommend them for any real estate transaction without hesitation.
They have my family and me as clients for life; thank you so very much!!!

"As a first-time home seller, I felt overwhelmed..."
As a first-time home seller, I felt overwhelmed by the process of preparing and listing my home for sale. I needed someone who would be willing to take on a big project and explain in clear terms each step of the process. Good fortune led me to Elisha and Taryn and I decided to put my trust in them. I am amazed at the results. After a beautiful staging and open house, we received over two dozen offers after one weekend. After guiding me through the offers, the house sold for well over asking price. —Kristen
-
"Elisha and Taryn are amazing!"
We couldn't be happier with our experience working with them in the purchase of our investment property. Elisha and Taryn took care of our needs (there were many). They walked us through start to finish of our purchase. Elisha exceeded our expectations with staging our property and filling it with all the things our tenant will need. Not only have we met the team we will use for all future real estate endeavors, we have also met great friends. Thank you and we are so blessed to have crossed paths" —Rhea and Anthony
-
"They were extremely responsive, reliable, and organized"
Elisha and Taryn were helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. They supported us throughout the whole process, provided great insights, and helped us ultimately find a house we love. Though we were very picky and opinionated, Elisha stayed with us and really helped guide us in the right direction. They were extremely responsive, reliable, and organized throughout. I would recommend all of my friends to work with them.
—Selah & Pouria

"I can't rave about or recommend them highly enough"
If you think your dream home is out of reach for whatever reason—finances, covid restrictions, or the competitiveness of this crazy market—then I f*cking dare you to give these girls a crack at it. All the stars needed to align for us to end up in our dream and Elisha, Taryn and Molly somehow made it happen. Every step of the way of our search and purchase was met with resistance and complications (literally every step) and every step of the way, we fully expected the dream to end and reality to set in. From the outset, we told ourselves to be realistic, avoid falling in love and we’d likely end up “settling” for something we could live with. The market is too crazy, we can’t afford to compete etc etc. Elisha, Taryn and Molly met each of those obstacles with a smile, a plan of attack and completely overcame every one of them.
They got us our dream home and we still have little idea as to how—and again, that’s because they beared the brunt of the burden so we didn’t have to. We both work full time and have busy lives, as most couples trying to purchase a home nowadays, and the girls definitely accommodate for that—they’re incredibly responsive, receptive, knowledgeable, always have their client’s best interests prioritized (usually 2 or 3 steps ahead) and communicate in ways that are efficient, stress-limiting and idiot proof (text messaging, docusign etc).
Can’t rave about or recommend them highly enough but can assure anyone reading this that there’s no better team of professionals to have in your corner for what’s often a brutal, stressful and painstaking process. They’re total badasses and get shit DONE.
Go find your dream home, give them a call and prove me wrong.

"Elisha and Taryn far exceeded our expectations"
I cannot recommend Elisha and Taryn highly enough!
We just completed a 6-month journey in a very crazy real estate market where we sold our current home and bought a new one simultaneously. This whole process of doing a contingent sale was super tough and overwhelming at times, but the only reason that we got through it, and got through it with the absolute best deal possible (better than we even expected) was because of these 2 women.
They helped us every step of the way and had trusted referrals for every service we needed. It started with decluttering our current home in February of 2025 (they referred us to a great resource for this) then making thoughtful repairs/minor repairs to the house to make our home attractive to the largest audience possible (and of course they had referrals for contractors to handle the repairs).
They were patient with us and had the perfect blend of educating us while still letting us make our own decisions (and even mistakes if we chose to lol).
Their attentiveness, people skills, and managing of the whole process and our expectations was second to none. We also got to experience a few other realtors during this process (the buyer’s agent for our old home and the seller’s agent on our new home) and seeing what can happen if you don’t have an amazing team like this became quite apparent!
We drug them out on countless property viewings all across northern Oregon. My wife and I also had a few moments of “freaking out” over this 6 months, but they never wavered. I truly cannot think of how they could have done any better for us, Elisha and Taryn far exceeded our expectations. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell. A++++ with 5 Gold stars 😊 —David S

"This group couldn't have put more effort into making sure our dreams came true..."
Working with Elisha, Taryn & Molly was an incredible experience start to finish. Elisha & Taryn felt like family from our first call with them and made us feel so comfortable and taken care of. They walked us through every single step (some multiple times because we made so many offers) and made sure we were fully understanding everything. We asked 80 thousand questions and they never made us feel rushed or burdensome. They went above and beyond to help us figure out our rental when our first home offer fell through. There were multiple times where we felt over eager to put in offers on houses that maybe weren't exactly right for us and they always spent the time with us to talk through our decision and then steer us back to our long term goals when we were rushing things. We feel unbelievably privileged to have worked with and gotten to know this team. They truly felt like the stewards (fairy godmothers) of our process at literally every single step, from failed inspections, back up offers, plumbing drama and broken arms. This group couldn't have put more effort into making sure our dreams came true and we couldn't be more thankful to have spent the time with them we did.
LOVE YOU GUYS!! —C&C

"It is beyond clear that the team understands this market and will do what is necessary to get the job done"
Working with the team at Kinected Realty was a dream. We were particularly challenging clients, as we were looking for housing from out of state, we were somewhat unfamiliar with the Portland area, and we knew we would likely not be able to see a house in person before putting an offer down.
Right off the bat, Elisha put the time and energy into getting to know who we were, what we were about, and what we were looking for in every sense. Once she knew more about us, she was quickly able to steer us in the right direction on every house we showed interest in. We were always in close communication with Elisha, Taryn, and Molly, and always felt like we were a top priority.
Communication was always prompt, honest, and with our best interests in mind. We felt confident during the entire process that we were in competent hands and being guided to the best home for us. It is beyond clear that the team understands this market and will do what is necessary to get the job done. Truly a unique business model that they have created and they excel at what they do.
We love our new home and will always recommend Kinected Realty without hesitation! —Aura and Jay

" They are masters of their craft"
My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with the Kinected Realty team, Elisha, Taryn, and Molly to assist in the process of finding and purchasing our home!
We could not have had a better experience. The team was so responsive to our questions, concerns, and were always there to show us houses.
We weren’t the most straight forward clients, I guess you could call us picky, but they were adamant that they would be by our side until we found the perfect home. We eventually did and they worked their magic to help us get a good deal and close. It all felt effortless with their help.
They have been doing this for a long time and it shows. They are masters of their craft. I cannot recommend them enough if you are looking to buy a home. They went above and beyond for my family.
I will most certainly be referring my close friends and family to this amazing team. In fact Elisha helped my mom find her home years ago which is how I knew how awesome she was. It’s hard to find good people nowadays but I can honestly say, look no further, this team is it. Happy home buying! Thanks Kinected Realty!
—Tara and Roy

"I can't think of a single thing they could have done better"
Elisha, Taryn and their whole team did an outstanding job selling our home! There was a lot of competition in our neighborhood with many of our neighbors listing their houses at the same time. Elisha and Taryn put together a sound strategy for not only selling our hour quickly, but getting well above the asking price my wife and I had imagined. After living in our house for 15+ years, we needed a lot of help getting it ready to put on the market. Elisha had an awesome network of people who made themselves immediately available to help with everything including cleaning, packing, landscaping, and more. We listed our house on a Saturday and had several offers to pick from by the following Monday. It's worth mentioning that our neighbors across the street listed their house (with a different agent) 2 weeks before us and didn't get an accepted offer for about another 2 weeks after our sale went pending. My wife and I were amazed how quickly we were able to get our home sold.

"You earned your commission and some!"
Ladies, it was a great experience working with you both. I learned a tremendous amount about real estate and myself. I have never met two more hard working passionate about their business women than you.
You beautified my home in a way I didn't think was possible. My home was on the market 5 months with my previous agent and didn't make a blip on the real estate radar - you gained more traction in 1 week than my previous agent did in 5 months! In a tough market you sold my home in 3 weeks - unbelievable!
I know I wasn’t the easiest person to work with 😉 (understatement), and I greatly appreciate your grace and patience with me. You earned your commission and some! 😁 —Grateful Seller

"They were there every step of the way"
We worked with Elisha and Taryn when we bought our condo, and when it was time to sell, we knew we'd want to work with them again.
They were there every step of the way, setting us up for success. They were knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything so that we fully understood the entire process. Thanks to them, both buying and selling went smoothly.
We are so thankful to have worked with both of them and can not recommend them enough! -Emily and Chris
