"We have been so impressed and so enjoyed having Chelsea as our Real Estate agent. She took the time to get to know us and understand what we were looking for in a home. She also took the time to understand our situation; two busy, working parents, and helped make the house looking and house buying process as painless as possible. Chelsea is amazingly organized, and was a fantastic advocate for us. When we found our dream home she helped the sellers get to know us, thereby putting us ahead in a multiple offer situation. She helped contact and meet with contractors to look at the cost of a remodel the house would need, so that we knew what we were getting into. She spent the day with the inspector. She constantly kept us updated and checked in on us as the sale progressed. She even helped us with the process of renting our previous home (to name but a few of the many things she did to go the extra mile). Chelsea continues to be available and a resource to us - inspiring the saying around our home “WWCD – what would Chelsea do?”. To top it all off, she has an infectious smile and is always a pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend Chelsea to anyone who is in the process of looking for or selling their home. She so obviously enjoys her work and is really good at what she does, we feel very fortunate to have worked with her." -Spencer and Natasha White
"Thanks to Chelsea's keen eye and experience in how to present and price our house, we sold our house very quickly, for more than what several other real estate professionals said we could get. It was a huge relief to work with such a competent broker that was ahead of plan on everything she did. She was incredibly proactive and led the process so well that we closed within 1 month of putting our house on the market. She was relentless in getting the the real value for our home, while she kept a realistic eye on the market. Chelsea could feel the soul of our house and what it meant to us. It was her ability to convey that to the prospective buyers that made the difference. We recommend Chelsea without hesitation, and are only sorry that we don't live in Portland anymore so we can't have her represent us in our next home purchase." -Ben & Trine Ostergaard
“My husband and I recently worked with Chelsea in buying a home. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. She’s smart, assertive and keenly aware of trends and shifts in the housing market. She listened to our wants, but also provided much-needed guidance. She helped us negotiate a great deal on a house in our dream neighborhood. She was impressively proactive with inspection and fixes, and even after we closed she was available and willing to help answer questions. I have no hesitations in recommending Chelsea as a real estate agent. We’ll work with her again on our next house!” -Emily Watson
"Chelsea is highly professional, personable, knowledgeable and very thorough real estate agent. She is truly a joy to work with. She bases her advice on industry research and thoroughly presents information every step of the way. We worked with Chelsea as both a seller's agent and then a buyer's agent. When helping us sell our home, she put together very professional photos and well-written sales products. Our house sold in four days. As buyers, we were quite particular. Over a seven month period Chelsea showed us dozens of houses and helped us scour the Portland market to find a house and a location that fit our very specific requirements. She was patient, persistent and never grew frustrated as she presented us market research to answer questions we had throughout the journey. Chelsea Ausland is a top-notch real estate professional and genuine joy to work with." -Melinda & Chris
"Chelsea was really wonderful to work with. She helped us buy our dream house in Irvington. I feel like she took the time to get to know us and our needs so she was aware anytime a house came on the market that would fit our family and our style. She was extremely professional, she negotiated aggressively for our home and we found her to be fun and personable. I will work with her again and would confidently refer her to a friend. " -Megan Barnett
"Chelsea went above and beyond in every aspect of home buying. She was very patient while looking for our new home and supportive through the process of purchasing it. From working with our mortgage broker on a daily basis to researching contact information for all of our new utilities, she was a resource that I wouldn't buy another house without." -Aaron & Abby Weast
“Based upon my own professional and business experience, I enjoyed Chelsea’s obviously high intelligence level while at the same time seeing her ability to be very “down to earth”. She provided me with all the necessary market and property information in order to make a sound investment decision. Her organization and administration skills gave me great confidence in the quality of her work and significantly lessened the burden upon me in my property investment decision.” -Toby Gardner
"We've bought several homes, and Chelsea is definitely the best real estate broker we've met. During our house hunt, she listened closely to what we were looking for and provided exactly the type of homes we were seeking. She worked tirelessly on our behalf and dealt with some complicated and touchy issues with great skill. We enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a smart, honest, and hard-working agent. In short, she's the best!" -Lori & John Harch
"Chelsea Ausland made the seemingly overwhelming and potentially frustrating event of buying a house almost painless. Her objectivity helped me through the stages of irrational impulsiveness and her positive attitude and words kept me encouraged that we would find and secure the home of my dreams, which we did. My loan and situation were atypical but Chelsea effortlessly accommodated my needs and advocated for me even after I moved in. It is no surprise that Chelsea is accomplished in her profession. I would recommend her to anyone thinking of buying a home. Thank you for all your long days, hard work and good nature Chelsea." -Delighted Homeowner, Jake Creviston
"Chelsea was the ideal choice to help me find and complete the purchase of my first home. She made me feel very comfortable asking questions that came up during the process, no matter how trivial they were. She also made sure I was familiar with what to expect during the process as it unfolded, which was a great help as a first time buyer. In the end, I purchased a great place at a great price in an area that I loved. I would have had a very difficult time doing it without her help. I'd definitely work with her again and recommend her to anyone who is in the market to purchase a home." -Endy Hedman
"It's not an exaggeration to say that we wouldn't have made it through the purchase of our home without Chelsea. I honestly can't say enough good things about her. Home-buying can be a stressful and overwhelming time and she was a trusted resource through it all. Working with Chelsea was always a pleasure. She brings a ton of knowledge as well as a down-to-earth perspective. It was always obvious that she had our best interests in mind and she never gave up on us, even when the going got rough, and she did it all with a charm and grace that is so refreshing. Chelsea was always responsive and is willing to go above and beyond to get things done. And the transaction wasn't finished when we got our keys. She has continued to keep in touch and follow up with us. I would recommend her to anyone and she will without a doubt be our real estate agent for future purchases and sales." -Haley & Travis Omlid
"Working with Chelsea was easy. She is very knowledgeable on all areas in Portland. I didn't know what neighborhood was right for me, but Chelsea had no problem showing me houses all over town. She would explain the perks and downfalls of each area and drive me around to help me get a feel for where I could be living. When I purchased my house I felt completely comfortable with the neighborhood I chose. After getting to know her background on a Real Estate level I found that her family has been doing Real Estate for some 40 years know, that being said I was even more comfortable about my decision to have Chelsea represent me.... Thank you Chelsea!" -Travis Sheets
"Thank you so much for helping me find my first home! I will totally recommend you to any and all potential buyers I meet! Thanks for putting up with my crazy schedule, helping me find a great mortgage broker and home inspector and fight the bank for a new water heater!" -E. Stinson
"Levi and I really enjoyed working with Chelsea. We clicked with her instantly. (She didn't think it was weird that we wanted a yard that could accommodate a huge vegetable garden and, someday, chickens.) Chelsea was very accessible throughout the process and she made us feel like we could ask her anything. She gave us great advice and really knew the North and Northeast neighborhoods where we wanted to look. She helped us find a place that's perfect for us AND affordable. Chelsea rocks!" -Julie Sabatier

“What can I say about my good friend Chelsea? I feel that she is probably as good as it gets when it comes to REALLY being interested and caring for what your needs and desires and delivers! Above all however, she is truly someone whom you would and will want to stay in contact with even after the deal is done! Those types of people are rare these days, especially in the real estate world and in business. My wife and I both love her! Hire her fast!” -Greg Ives
“Chelsea assisted both me selling a property in tough economic times. I was able to sell my house for, what I believe to be, the most favorable deal I would've expected in the depressed market. Chelsea gave my husband and I sound advice on improvements that would result in best returns for the investments and she was 100% right. She was easy to work with and I plan to use her services again for future real estate transactions. Additionally, Chelsea has helped my mother purchase a home and my husband sell a home, and both were extremely happy with her.” -Kezia Wanner
