Nihad Aweidah, - Windermere/Cronin & Caplan Realty Group Inc.

ï¿½We wanted to say thank you again for all the wonderful food that you served at our housewarming party. We appreciated being able to enjoy the food and our guests and could not have done that so easily without your help. We feel that your recommendation to purchase this home was definitely a great one. Although we will try not to get too attached, I must admit that we do like living here very much. Thank you again for everything, and weï¿½ll see you in June at our reception.ï¿½

~ Ted & Rachell, SW Beaverton

ï¿½Two years ago you sold our townhouse at 1443 SE Harney Street, Portland Oregon. We have no illusions that it would not have sold as soon or for as good a price if it weren't for your patience and expertise. Thank you again.ï¿½

~ Mark & Eileen Murray, Tillamook

"I can't thank you enough for basically putting this whole plan together. It was your idea to make cash offers and you talked us (me?) out of some bad ideas. I can't believe we own this place. Hope some of our friends realize that you hooked us up with both of our places and that it would be a mistake to go with someone else if they were looking for a house."

~ Mike & Jennie Knapp, Portland & Mt. Hood

"Thank you Nihad for everything. You made the process completely painless, and quite entertaining. I would like to say that we gained not only a home, but also a friend in you. Thank you!"

~ Tom & Katie Kelley, SW Portland

"Words can't express the gratitude we feel with regard to our housewarming party. The prep work, the cooking, the cleaning and your overall hospitality was wonderful. Thank you so much for your assistance with the sale of our old home and the purchase of this one. We are finally HOME! Your friendship is priceless!"

~ Nick & Laura Scott, Tigard

"Nihad is the ultimate professional, and the ultimate gentleman. He is also a joy to know, has innate kindness and thoughtfulness, and his clients are his #1 priority. We bought a house using his skills, and sold it again in a terrible housing market only because of his excellent negotiating skills. We are now looking for a house again. Nihad is our agent of course."

~ Eileen & Mark Murray, Tillamook

"We want to thank you for a great meal at our housewarming. It is very appreciated. And also, we would like to just say that it has been great having you as our real estate agent."

~ T. & S. Helbling, Hillsboro

"Nihad went so far above and beyond my expectations. He is so wonderful to work with. I would refer him to anyone because I have 100 percent confidence in him."

~ Ashley Griggs, NW Portland

"Nihad was so calming and helpful through the whole process. He's great"

~ Julia Nusbaum, N Portland

"Nihad went the extra mile to make the deal happen. Also, he was very attentive and sensitive to the complex situations that arose!"

~Nizar Slim, SW Portland

"Nihad offers a unique personal touch that made my experience smooth and stress free."

~ Heather Anderson, NW Portland

"After watching my house languish on the market for four months, I called Nihad. Thirty-one days later, the house was sold."

~ David Streicher, SW Portland

"Once we decided to get married, we worked with Nihad over the course of a year to sell both of our individual homes and purchase a new joint home. Needless-to-say, we spent a lot of time together! We give him our highest recommendation because we felt he was a true advocate for us in our hunting process, bringing both patience and insight to help us meld our wish list with potential properties. He has a keen sense for value and knows many neighborhoods around the metro area. We were lookers....we wanted to look at everything and we did. He was right there with us every step of the way and seemed to understand what we needed to know before we could make a well-informed decision. The best thing we can say about Nihad is that we began our process with him as friends and finished it as even better friends ...to the point that we both recently looked at each other and said we actually missed looking at houses with him!"

~ Sue & Mark, SW Portland

"Nihad is a natural within his profession and a pleasure to work with. I relied on him to not only help me make a wise real estate investment, but found his knowledge of the market and the available properties went far beyond that of other real estate professionals with whom I have done business (and several of them are very good). His advice and coaching helped us close a transaction on a great property with good terms and a good price, and I've been very pleased with the ongoing relationship I've enjoyed with him. Most agents never see you after the transaction, but Nihad appreciates the value of a long term customer relationship. Among the many benefits of working with Nihad: What a relief when he offered me (with no strings attached) a truck for the day to help me cart off old carpets and remodeling-related junk to the dump, at a point when I most needed a helping hand. He not only found me a great desk for my new home office, he even helped me assemble it! He is truly a great business partner and now a friend. I strongly recommend working with him."

~ Robin Way, SW Portland

"Nihad creates success for his clients with a strategy that is straightforward and simple. He delivers exceptional customer service and maintains long term relationships with buyers and sellers. He is uniquely interested in helping his clients solve their problems: sharing a truck on moving day, providing advice for your open house based on his knowledge of feng shui, knowledge and/or recommending a handyman to do last minute repairs. I have bought/ sold 4 properties with Nihad in the past 6 years. I would highly recommend you give him a call to see what he can do for you."

~ Heather A., NW Portland

"Nihad is a dedicated professional who is committed to finding his clients the right house, not just the first house which he can make a commission on. Nihad is very knowledgeable and also pleasant to work with. Plus he caters for your housewarming party with excellent Middle-Eastern cuisine!"

~ Alan D., N Portland

"Nihad is the best Real Estate Agent that I have worked with. Extremely responsive to questions, he goes beyond the call of duty for his clients. He provides a much more rich set of services (from moving assistance to quality references for home services) than the typical Agent. I highly recommend him to provide a smooth and professional experience to an often complicated, stressful process. The very first house we looked at was the one we ended up buying."

~ Stevyn Travillian, NE Portland

"We have been using Nihad exclusively since 2001. Nihad was our realtor on eight different real estate transactions. He always goes the extra mile for his clients. In the last couple of years, we recommended Nihad to three friends, all of whom have thanked us for the reference. We appreciate the way he conducts business and we especially appreciate his sense of humor."

~Sami Khawaja & Patricia Koss, Lake Oswego

"Thank you for helping us navigate through our first home purchase. We couldn't have made it through the process without the patience and knowledge you shared with us. Your honesty and attention to detail were extremely comforting. It is nice to know we had someone who put our best interests at the forefront as we went through the home search process. We appreciate all of your hard work and will continue to refer everyone we know your way. Thanks for all the great hummus!"

~ Shane & Steph, N Portland

"I was very fortunate to have Nihad's help and advice when buying my first house. In our first meeting he listened to what I was looking for and worked with me until we found a perfect match. We viewed well over 40 houses before we discovered that match. There was never a time that Nihad pressured me to make a decision and once he even had to drag me away from a house I thought was the one. Most realtors would've heard me say "I want it" and started to draw up the papers but Nihad knew it didn't match what I wanted 100% and therefore it was not something I should buy. In the end I bought a home that was better than I could've imagined. His knowledge and guidance were key throughout the process to the point that I didn't even think of putting down an offer until he endorsed the house himself. Nihad will be the only realtor I work with for all my real estate needs."

~Nick Danner, N Portland

"We met Nihad at a time when we were convinced that we did not need a real estate agent. Three months after that first meeting, we decided tentatively to start working with him. Looking back it was the best decision we made. Nihad understood our family and our long term plans and worked diligently towards finding us our perfect house. His clear common sense and experience have been invaluable along the way, both with buying our new house and selling the old one. He has been extremely sensitive to our needs and respected every cultural requirement. From getting the best deal with the sale of our old house, finding a new one that fit all of our needs, through navigating the best price, to picking out the material for every detail, we relied heavily on him and at every step of the way, he has exceeded our expectations. Nihad's dedication to going above and beyond the call of duty and helping us with details like finding a reliable handyman at the last minute and lending us his own truck "Simone", proved the completeness of his commitment to his clients. His relaxed and gregarious nature and his unflagging optimism have made him much more than a real estate agent to us. Nihad is now a close friend. We would strongly recommend him as the best real estate agent we have ever worked with."

~ Badari & Shobana, Beaverton

"Listing my NW condo coincided with the necessity of my temporarily moving to Seattle to care for my elderly parents. Nihad not only did all the necessary listing and marketing for my condo, he also picked up my mail before forwarding kicked in, tidied up the physical loose ends that I left behind in my condo due to my abrupt departure, and acted as my liaison with the condo management company which much tact and diplomacy (no easy feat!). While I was gone Nihad watered my plants and arranged for a moving company to come in to assess what it would cost to pack up and move my belongings into storage. He even offered to do the packing! As it turned out I did not put my things into storage and when I moved, Nihad offered his personal truck "Simone". I sold my condo for the price I was looking for, and all of the paperwork was made extremely easy and understandable for me and transacted in a convenient location. I couldn't have asked for a more conscientious, concerned, or detail oriented real estate agent."

~ Toni Weisel, NW Portland

"Nihad is too good to be true. He is an awesome agent who goes the extra mile on his own initiative. In less than four months from meeting him we are all moved in, settled, and loving it! Thanks!"

~ Richard & Cori Valois, NW Portland

"I moved from Boston and had very limited availability to find a house. Nihad made himself available to me as much as I needed. I will definitely refer friends to him."

~ Jeff Wilsted, West Linn

"We both want to thank you for all the time and courtesies you extended to us, and for all the many times you went to bat for us -- and of course, for your generosity in providing the shower head change. Your service to us as clients was superb! You are truly a kind and gentle man, and the epitome of a "true gentleman", who is extremely proud of his profession, and serves his clients to the utmost. We would not hesitate, ever, to recommend your services to anyone who is looking to buy or sell that we come across."

~ Eileen & Mark Murray, SE Portland

"Great job, Great House, Great Price!"

~ Jason Reding, NE Portland

"Nihad was an absolute pleasure to do business with. I felt he represented us very well!"

~ Rob Johns, NW Portland

"I'll continue to use Nihad, and I'll refer him to everyone I know!"

~ Chris Conrad, N Portland
