"Working with The Caplener group was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their confidence and professionalism were clear throughout every step. We always felt we were in capable hands — they anticipated issues before they arose, explained options clearly, and were always available for questions and updates. Because of that, we were able to make decisions confidently without feeling pressured, especially when we encountered hiccups. What stood out most was how easy they made everything. Communication was quick and clear, scheduling was effortless, and they handled details seamlessly behind the scenes. We never felt overwhelmed, only supported. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and easy-going yet professional realtor."

We were selling my late father’s house. A friend recommended Kevin Caplener and the Caplener group. We will be forever grateful. It was an older home with many problems. Kevin and his team did a fantastic job selling this house, and made important recommendations on repairs, which was crucial in selling it.
One thing we really appreciated was how swiftly they returned calls and answered emails.
They held many open house events.
They did a fantastic job with negotiating the fair price we received for the house.
We feel so fortunate to have them represent us.

Our house just sold! We appreciated that The Caplener Group brought a ton of knowledge of the neighborhood. Kevin lives in our neighborhood, too, which allowed him to keep an eye on the house and handle any emerging issues after we moved out. We also appreciated his advice on where to spend some money to fix things and where not to. That was SUPER helpful! Finally, communications were clear and prompt, which is critical on such an important life decision. We're thrilled to have that gone with The Caplener Group.

We just recently bought our first home with the Caplener Group and had an amazing experience. Home buying can be an incredibly complex and scary process, but Kevin and Gina were made us feel entirely supported and informed every step of the way. They were amazing advocates for us and we ended up landing our absolute dream home, which we never would have been able to do without them. If I could give them 10 stars I would!

Great to work with Caplener Group. Everyone we interacted with were super friendly and the communication was excellent. Kevin really listened to what we needed and was an excellent advocate.

Thanks to Kevin Caplener’s expertise at Windermere Realty Trust we outbid four other parties and I still got instant equity after purchase!

As first-time home buyers, my husband and I were intimidated by the home buying process. Kevin helped us feeling comfortable and excited about the prospect of purchasing a home. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the market, various neighborhoods in Portland, and things to look for when buying. But most importantly he was a great listener. My husband and I both felt heard by Kevin, we felt supported by Kevin, and we trusted Kevin. He beautifully balanced the art of letting us make our own decisions and giving his advice. Kevin was responsive to our every need, from phone calls, emails, drop-ins, and problem-solving. He communicated the process to us in a way in which we could understand and made us feel comfortable asking our questions. He was in constant contact with us regarding the schedule of events (signings, inspections, closings, etc.) and was there to give us a great big hug when it was all done. Kevin provides a professional and personal service to his clients and we will be singing his praises to anyone interested in buying/selling a home.

Throughout the entire process, from last fall’s introduction through mid-winter Internet searching, through Portland visits and tours, through the recent purchase process, Kevin has been fantastic. He developed a keen sense of who we are as buyers, both likes and dislikes, and understood our unique needs as parents of a special needs son. He has been proactive, responsive, and helpful with every detail from explaining house features to steering us to vendors and providing on-site support. Doing this search and purchase from CT has not been easy; we have leaned on Kevin to be our eyes and ears and to use his good judgment to help us out in many ways. We are very grateful for his time and his support.

Kevin helped us a great deal. He secured a good price for our new home, responded quickly to our needs, and coordinated effectively with every other party. We felt safe with Kevin. We totally trust him and would recommend him to anyone else who’s looking for a new home.

After almost 60 years, my grandmother moved out of her South Tabor home and put it up for sale. From our first meeting with The Caplener Group, my family was impressed with their knowledge, experience, and specific suggestions on how best to price and market the house. They were very hands-on with every aspect of the transaction, and my grandmother received a great price that gave her financial peace of mind as she enters the next phase of her life.

First, we wanted to thank Kevin for being so helpful, honest and most of all patient with us during our transaction, we know we can be difficult to deal with. My wife and I could not be happier and are your clients for probably forever. We could not ask for anything more!

Listing our home for sale with The Caplener Group was the best decision we could have made. Kevin Caplener handled all aspects of the sale in a thoroughly professional manner. He was always available, attentive, and performed tasks reliably and quickly. Kevin met the usual bumps in the road that occur in a sale with a positive attitude, making us feel sure we were in good hands, and we were! We appreciate our good fortune in having Kevin and his team represent us.

I had the pleasure of working with Kevin, who contributed a consistently positive and confident approach to the home-search process, with its numerous imperfect matches and rejected offers! I wanted to give up a few times, but ended up with a house I love. Also, he fought for me when it was necessary, both during the inspection period and through the closing. He managed to obtain a few key concessions from the seller that I never expected us to get and never would have gotten on my own.

Kevin is my hero. He went way above and beyond the call of duty, preparing my property for sale. He was always right on top of the next need, getting things done well and at low cost. Kevin got the main brunt of difficult and fairly unique obstacles that arose to meeting my sale deadline. Kevin was ever-ready and ever clever. I’m no shill for Windermere Realty Trust—just a very grateful customer. It’s a fine company to work with; keeps you believing in humanity!

My wife and I are thrilled about our new home and it’s thanks to Kevin that we were able to get exactly what we wanted. Kevin stayed patient while we searched for over a year for our ideal home in a very inhospitable real estate market. We never felt pressured to settle for something that didn’t fit our needs and there were numerous times when he provided much needed advice. It felt great to know that he was in our corner and had our best interests in mind.

I was a first time homebuyer and very intimidated by the Inner Eastside market. Luckily, I had Jan and Kevin on my side to help me every step of the way. They found me an incredible house at a great price, helped negotiate repairs that were very beneficial for me, and most importantly, they made me feel safe with my investment. I would highly recommend Jan and Kevin to anyone looking to buy a house in Portland!

It has been fabulous to work with you all on the preparation and sale of my Aunt’s house. You have more than accomplished this task with professional, courteous and forward looking assistance. I could not have asked for anything beyond what you have given me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart in making this potentially difficult process so successful.

I found the entire team of Jan, Kevin, and Caroline amazingly competent, knowledgeable, and responsive during the entire process of buying my first rental property. These are good people with whom to work. I highly recommend them.

My wife and I have lived in our Mt. Tabor home for close to 30 years, a home purchased with the support and services of The Caplener Group. The Caplener Group provided more than just the buy/sell transaction support, they worked at a personal level to ensure that both parties interests and concerns were addressed and we were kept informed through every step of the way. We have tremendous confidence in their knowledge of the market and have used their services in other real estate transactions.

Jan and Windermere Realty Trust team, thank you for your tremendous job in selling our house. Your professional presentation featured our house at it’s best. Your negotiating skills got us a very good selling price. Patience, resolve and persistence got us through the challenges of extra inspections required for rural property. We are very happy to be former homeowners. Thank you for making it happen!
