Sean is an invaluable ally to have when buying a home, especially in this very competitive market. He is extremely knowledgeable regarding available homes, their value, and strategies for optimizing your chances for getting a contract when there are multiple offers for the same property. Sean is also exceptionally helpful in negotiating repairs, and assisting in finding contractors for necessary work. From start to finish, Sean has made himself very available for showings, inspections, and assuring repairs were made and done right... somehow he never seemed too busy to help us. He was able to help us make sense of the legal jargon on all the forms and contracts, which can be quite intimidating. Kind, honest, diligent, professional, and very competent... all are terms that describe Mr. Coster. You would be very fortunate to work with him in your real estate transaction!

Sean was wonderful to work with and he helped us find a lovely home. Lots of realtors are nice and can show you a ton of properties, but Sean really shines when it comes to knowing what it takes to turn a house into a home. He has a lot of expertise in renovating and puts a lot of value in charming architectural details. This made a big difference in Portland, where there are a lot of older affordable homes that need a little bit of work.

Sean rocks! He is extremely personable and knows his craft. His knowledge of the area I was searching (North Portland/St. Johns) was outstanding. He clearly did his research on each home we visited and provided great guidance as we moved through the homebuying process. The negotiations with the seller were seamless (which says a lot given I bought my new house during COVID-19 while half of America seemed to be trying to refinance due to low mortgage rates). He provided an excellent recommendation for a very skilled home inspector, gave me great advice on the results, and ultimately got us into a beautiful home. Without Sean's support, I wouldn't have ended up in such a nice place. I highly recommend Sean and will surely work with him on any real estate venture in the future.

Working with Sean to sell our home was a great experience. Sean listened to all our concerns, answered all of our questions, and coached us when we needed it. Sean had service teams at the ready to help get our house ship shape before we went on the market. Our home was under contract within a matter of days and closed without any hiccups, even during a pandemic! I can’t recommend Sean strongly enough!

Candace

Sean helped us navigate the difficult process of selling our condo while purchasing a home in the ultra-competitive Portland real estate market. Time was of the essence to make both sales happen, and Sean's knowledge of the process and willingness to be available at any time made the experience smooth and stress-free.

Ryan

Sean helped us buy our first home, and we're very pleased to recommend him. He did a great job educating us, answering all our questions with patience and expertise; he advised us well on our choices, ensuring we could operate confidently without feeling strong-armed; and he performed his procedural functions quickly and accurately, while maintaining prompt and professional communication with us. I was particularly impressed by the rapid turnaround on the whole process. From our first contact, we made this purchase happen in little more than a month, and it wouldn't have been possible if Sean hadn't been so capable, and so willing to make his energy and expertise available.

Robert

Sean did a masterful job of getting our house ready for sale. We even had offers before it was listed because of the recommendations by Sean. The offer and counter offers by the purchaser were handled very well by Sean. He did a much better job than I would have under the circumstances.
