Joshua May with Joshua May Real Living and John L. Scott, Realtor Portland, OR.

After years of providing exceptional service in the restaurant and fitness industries, and honing my communication skills as an actor, I’m excited to bring my passion for people and Portland to the world of real estate. My experience in hospitality taught me the value of building lasting relationships, listening carefully to clients’ needs, and going above and beyond to ensure satisfaction. As a fitness instructor, I learned the discipline of setting goals and staying committed skills that are just as important when helping you find your dream home or sell your current one.

Since 2009, I’ve proud to call Portland home, and whether you’re new to the area or a lifelong resident, I’m here to guide you through every step of the real estate journey. My goal is to make the process seamless, stress-free, and even a little fun.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious about the market, I’d love to help you make informed and confident decisions in today’s ever-changing real estate landscape. Let’s connect and make your real estate dreams a reality!

Representation

I take pride in offering high-caliber full-service residential real estate expertise. My clients are my top priority, and I focus on delivering the best possible results for them.

Expertise

The real estate market is hyperlocal, seasonal and temperamental—in other words, it can change on a dime. Technology has made information more accessible to everyone, but it can be difficult to keep up with recent events that affect home values. The benefits of working with a licensed real estate professional go far beyond what a mobile app, online video, or website can do.

I provide my clients with information on market seasonality and information relevant to what is happening in their specific neighborhood. This customized analysis includes recent comparable sales that factor into an offer and acceptance strategy.

Negotiations

Successful negotiations help move a conversation forward and transform the process into an agreement that’s a win for all parties. Negotiation is not only a skill, but a mindset. I keep my clients’ best interests top of mind as I negotiate on their behalf. 

Transactional Excellence

I am dedicated to transactional excellence for every listing and sale. What this means for you is that I oversee every detail of the real estate transaction. The transaction is far from over once an offer has been accepted. I monitor inspections, appraisals, title, escrow and loan processes. Communication and collaboration with all the partners and parties involved with the transaction ensures a smooth and timely closing. I am committed to my clients before, during and after a sale.
