Get to know Amber

When I started my career in 2006, I educated myself about green building techniques by starting GreenPDX, a green building tour group. I did this out of personal interest, and as a way to effectively serve as translator between builder/architect and clients. It didn’t take long for green building to go from trending to more standard practice. Eventually, I moved on, but kept the name as a reminder of my values. Since then, I have become a top producer working at Think Real Estate, #1 in our industry per broker in sales volume.

I know how to communicate clearly and effectively. This is first important for our relationship and trust, but also for connecting effectively with the other side of any transaction. I pride myself on my diplomatic strategy when I begin any negotiation, but also know how to sink my teeth in to defend and advocate for your best interest.

I work with a limited number of clients at one time. This allows me to provide top quality service with focused attention to my client’s needs. Additionally, I make it a point to donate a minimum of 2% of my annual income to organizations, especially local ones, that work towards equity, justice, and access to resources for underserved populations like minorities and the houseless.

My current home is a 1967 contemporary in the Cully Neighborhood. I have also owned a 1915 bungalow on nearly 1/2 an acre in SW Portland, an ultra-efficient townhome in the Alberta Arts, and rental properties both in Portland and the Oregon Coast. A few of my personal pursuits include pollinator gardening, cycling, bird watching, and road trips around Oregon. I am a second-generation Realtor and Portland native!

Past Client Experiences

  • "Amber is the consummate realtor and advocate for either buyer or seller. Over the course of 15 years, she has been my realtor in 3 transactions, all of which were executed with integrity, honesty, and professionalism. She assisted me in every aspect of each transaction and while not pushing me, helped me home in on my priorities in a purchase, a sale and yet another home purchase. Her leadership through the process, network of contacts, knowledge of the Portland market and of course, her hard-working team made each transaction easier than I thought possible."

    Shawn R.

  • "I chose to work with Amber on the purchase of my home when my life was in great transition, and needed a real personal touch to guide me through this particular transaction. My first impression of her was strong—she exuded professionalism, confidence, positivity, and warmth from the start. I had a hunch that along with her years of real estate experience, she’d use these attributes to guide me and my family through any and all snafus, road blocks, and situations requiring finesse. She did not disappoint, showing just the level of service and communication I hoped we’d receive. From the search, to the negotiations, to the inspection, she was present and embodied the collaborative spirit required to get us to the finish line. Thank you, Amber!"

    Elizabeth N.

  • "Amber Turner was great at all aspects of the job, from persuading us to paint over the weird paint jobs in the living room, dining room, and kitchen, to helping us clear our stuff out of the house, to pricing and publicizing it, and then guiding us through the negotiations. We were thrilled."
