Biography

Oregon Broker

1998 was a fantastic year for me! It was the year my family and I packed up our city life and found our dream cabin in the Columbia River Gorge. Nestled in the shadow of Mt. Hood, our little retreat quickly became our sanctuary, and it’s been our home base for outdoor adventures ever since. Whether it was snowshoeing in the winter or hiking and fishing in the warmer months, the Gorge became our playground.
With every weekend escape, my connection to the area deepened. It wasn’t long before we made the decision to sell our house in the city and make the Gorge our full-time residence. Portland was just a hop, skip, and a jump away—perfect for a quick city fix—except when the snow made sure we stayed put!
When I’m not helping clients with their real estate needs, you can find me at home with my grandkids, catching up on a good book, or enjoying the peaceful views from my deck. I’m a big fan of volunteering at Columbia Center for the arts and SMART - I’ve always believed in giving back to the community that’s given so much to me.
I first entered the real estate world in 2015, thanks to a wonderful Realtor who helped us transition into our cabin full-time. She inspired me so much that I decided to join her team! It’s been a true honor ever since to assist clients in finding their own perfect spot—whether they’re looking for a full-time home, a vacation retreat, or ready to sell and move on to their next adventure.
From start to finish, I’m here to help you every step of the way. If you’re selling, I’ll make sure your property is ready to impress, from contractor recommendations to making sure everything shines. If you’re buying, I’ll be your guide as we navigate the market together, ensuring you find the home that suits your needs. 
I’ve been in your shoes, so I understand the excitement and challenges of buying and selling. But with the right support, the process doesn’t have to be stressful. Let’s chat—whether you’re ready to buy, sell, or just curious about the market!

Jill was referred to us by a trusted friend who couldn’t say enough great things. From day one, we knew Jill was the right realtor for us when we chose to sell our home. Jill is straightforward, flexible, knowledgeable, and works hard for her clients. Her resources and market experience made preparing our home a smooth process and negotiating the sale of our home went quickly and exactly how we envisioned the timeline. Jill should be your next realtor, guaranteed!

Jill is fantastic to work with - the perfect combination of responsive and laid back. I happened upon Jill after my bank did some research for most active agents in our price range and from a colleague's recommendation. Over the past year, Jill has worked with my partner and I to find our first home. We had our list of 'must haves', but were open to various options and were not in a rush. Jill was patient with us - maintained communication/included a range of listings, while never being pushy. I knew our now home was the one we had been searching for when Jill left an enthusiastic voicemail. After our offer was accepted, she guided us through the closing process. I would use Jill over and over again as my Realtor - though I hope this is my forever home and won't need to!

Jill has provided exceptional service. Jill has been so patient and accommodating during the four months of scheduling viewings in a competitive market. She was understanding when homes were not meeting my needs and sent me a list of new homes on the market regularly to see if any of them interested me. During my first offer, I have to admit that I did place a very low offer on one of the homes, and Jill was honest to let me know in advance that my offer may be a bit lower and to expect to be counter offered or have the offer declined. I really appreciate her honesty and expertise during the whole process. Her intention was to represent me and also make sure I found a suitable house but also that I am being reasonable and competitive. After four months, I finally found a house that fit my budget, needs and the offered was accepted by the seller. Jill worked with me on finding an inspector and followed up regularly to make sure everything was going smoothly and swiftly. Thank you so much Jill for helping me get my first home. My significant other and I appreciate all you have done for us.

We had an absolutely great experience with Jill in our purchase. Jill was professional and very through with every stage of the process. She kept us informed and notified us immediately as things changed and offered her expertise and guidance in helping us make our decision. We are without a doubt sure that without Jill's help we would probably not been successful in our purchase. She made this purchase stress free for us and for that we are forever grateful. You cannot go wrong with Jill as your agent. THANK YOU Jill you are a Rock Star in your field !!!

We hadn't purchased a house in a long time. Jill worked very hard to find a house that met our needs. She helped us with any questions we had and also brought up things we hadn't thought of to keep in mind when looking for a house. She kept an eye on the housing market and any time a house popped up on the market or she knew of a house that was going to be going up, she'd contact us right away so we could go have a look. If I had to pick a real estate agent to work with again, it would be Jill Guenther.

Jill helped us get the home of our dreams in a very competitive market with tips on negotiating the sale. She had the inside track on the house and was very up front about good and bad points on every house we pursued. She was spot on with the market prices and room for negotiation.

Jill really went the extra mile for us! Hood river has limited inventory and we were looking a a very specific type of property.Her responsiveness and professionalism are truly impressive. Her negotiating skills and the contractual terms she wrote up saved us a lot of money. Our purchase included a rentback period with the seller that had to be managed over several months. Although, the sale was closed and Jill had received her commission,she stayed in there with us!

We just bought a home in The Dalles with the help of Jill. The whole process was brand new to us. She was very informative and helped us throughout the entire process. I really felt like she cared about us!

Jill was excellent in all aspects. She was tolerant,enthusiastic as well as pragmatic. She was willing to look a a lot of places without losing her professionalism. She was even able to secure me a fancy place to stay (gratis) when I had to remain in town for an extra day.
