"Sydney was amazing! Very professional, knowledgeable and responsive. We bought our first home in the midst of the pandemic and she really made it much easier for us. When I sell/buy homes in the future, I will most definitely work with her again. Highly recommend."

"Sydney sold a home my partner and I were renting an apartment in. She communicated more with us than anyone else involved in the sale and was a great source of information and comfort. Sydney cares about the people she works with; she really took care of us."

"Marta is a top notch realtor—words can’t even expressed how great it was to work with her! She is professional, organized and extremely savvy about the market. The market is crazy right now, but she helped us get into a great home in a great location within our price range. Finding a place to live can be a real hassle while you’re trying to work full time, but Marta did all the leg work for us. She took time to understand the things that were important to us and helped us prioritize our needs and rate homes based on how well they met those needs. She established a great relationship with the seller’s realtor and helped make negotiations go smoothly."

"Sidney was very strategic in landing a purchase deal for us by going above the best offer by an insignificant amount. She was always a text away and responded very fast. It would have been impossible for us to win the bidding war without her being on our side."

"My boyfriend and I used Sidney to purchase a home recently. Even after the sale Sidney and her team were responsive to questions and concerns with the property, and provided help. What sets Sidney aside is the guarantee to either purchase your home or represent the sale at no cost if you aren't satisfied with the home for the first two years. This eased our mind, because after my last home purchase, my entire department was laid off as the company tried to re-identify itself. This occurred 3months after that home purchase and stranded us in the middle of nowhere until I found my current position. All in all, I am very satisfied with Sidney and what she is trying to accomplish."

"Working with Sydney was such a pleasure. Not only she’s very professional but she puts her heart and soul into finding a perfect home for her clients. Being Portland native and working as an agent for decades Sydney has very deep knowledge of local real estate. Thanks to Sydney’s dedication and commitment we found our dream home in no time. Thank you, Sydney!"

"Best Realtor Ever! Sidney Lynne is the most impressive real estate agent we have ever met. She is a knowledgeable, trustworthy, hardworking and efficient professional. We have had several agents over the years, but Sidney is the best agent ever! From the beginning, her attention to detail and reliability showed as she searched for the best home for us. Through out the process of buying our home, from inspection to expediting the closing, Sidney was by our side making sure everything worked out right. Whenever we had questions, she patiently provided the best advice. We have had the best home buying experience with Sidney! The whole process took less than 4 weeks! We are ecstatic to be able to celebrate Christmas in our new home this year! We are grateful to have met Sidney and we highly recommend her to those who are planning to buy a new home. Sidney, you are the best!!"
Ivy Miyamoto
"We experienced special care at each technical and emotional point of buying our house. We are glad to have met Sidney and her team at Hudson Homes, they were simply perfect, a five-star experience! She listened to our wishes, spoken and unspoken, built trust, was always available, and always looked for options that would please us. She has sharp negotiation skills and turned the hard bureaucratic process into a free-flowing experience that we needed to reach our home-buying goals!!! Thank you so much Sidney for the precious work."

"As a first time buyer, I had several basic questions regarding property, process and time estimate. Sydney understands the psychology of a first time buyer and makes herself available immediately for explaining any process or queries - which is a big plus. Sydney's enthusiasm towards 'Real Estate' business is extremely infectious and she would strive to give solution in all possible angles for one to make the best judgement Sydney has also provided us with valuable recommendations for other actors in the process of 'Home Buying' which helped in further accelerating the process towards closure. I would highly recommend Sydney for her extensive knowledge in the 'Real Estate' business and her enthusiasm."
