The fact this review is nearly two months late tells you that I would have never found an apartment in Portland without Kim and Melissa. Moving with a dog, to a new state, with an ongoing pandemic -yikes! They made the most anxiety inducing part of my move totally painless, found me a place that fit my checklist to a T, and are honestly rockstars. 10/10 highly recommend Team Arrive!

We have been working with many companies as we finalize our move to the Portland area. Arrive Portland has truly been the gold standard. Kim and Melissa provide honest feedback and both are excellent listeners. They found a property that met our special needs and far exceeded our expectations . They are communicative, hard working professionals who truly care about their client's needs and happiness. They also do great video tours of the properties so you have a clear picture of the property itself and the surrounding area. While moving across the country is not easy or fun, their company really

I was kind of freaked out about being able to find a suitable rental home in Portland because the market there is so hot, and we are still under semi-lockdown because of Covid-19 restrictions around the country. Arrive Portland (Melissa and Kim) helped me find a great house within my budget in a pretty short timeframe. They made sure when visiting potential rental properties, to give me an accurate assessment of each one. Such a relief to have that big decision made--and with such a great result!
