Joelle Lewis · Principal Broker · Lake Oswego
I help sellers price, prepare and sell well. I help trustees and families handle the house when life changes. And when a sale gets complicated, from an estate to a new subdivision, I'm the one who gets it to the closing table.
About Joelle
Honest about price. Careful with preparation. With you until it closes.
For more than 39 years, Joelle Lewis has helped buyers and sellers in Lake Oswego, throughout the Portland area and across Oregon. She is a Principal Broker and leads the Lewis & Associates Team from Premiere Property Group's Lake Oswego office.
Her first 25 years were spent largely in new construction and development, which is why she can walk through any house and tell a seller what's worth fixing before it lists, and what isn't.
Many of her sales are the complicated kind: estates and trusts, homes that need work, and closings where a lender or title company needs help to finish on time. Her clients return, and send their families and friends, because she prepares them well and sees every sale through.
Selling your home
Zillow and sites like it estimate your home's value by formula, from public records and nearby sales. An algorithm can count your bedrooms. It can't stand in your kitchen in the late afternoon, or know which side of the street buyers pay more for. Joelle starts with the comparable sales, then prices on the four L's: what buyers feel the moment they walk in.
Curious how far off your online estimate is? Call or text Joelle for an honest price.
The street, the block, the school boundary, the commute. It counts the most.
How the rooms connect and whether the house lives the way buyers live now.
Exposure, windows and how bright the main rooms feel through the day.
Lot size, usable yard, privacy, slope and what the setting adds.
The market is moving. Joelle will tell you what she believes your house will sell for, based on the timeline you need.
Any agent may promise you an artificially high number to win your listing, but no agent can make a buyer pay it. Homes listed above the market tend to sit, and price cuts follow. Those on the market forever listings often sell for less than they would have if priced right from the start. You can trust Joelle to tell you the truth on day one.
Before you list, Joelle tells you which repairs and updates will pay off at sale and which to skip. If you're downsizing from a home you've lived in for decades, she helps you plan the move as well as the sale, with trusted local vendors for sorting, cleanout, repairs, staging and moving.
Once you're on the market, she runs the marketing and showings, sends you a written update every Friday, reviews every offer and its terms with care, and works steadily with buyers' agents, lenders, inspectors and title, all the way to closing.
Estates & Trusts
When a home has to be sold after a death, or from a trust, the property is often the hardest part. Joelle has guided trustees, personal representatives and families through these sales for years, working alongside their attorneys, CPAs and financial advisors.
Builders & new construction

More than 100 of Joelle's sales have been builder and development projects, with the Portland area's largest and most respected builders. She was the primary broker for what would become the 2005 Street of Dreams, “The Quarry at Stafford.” She knows what makes a new home sell, and she helps builders and buyers settle fit and finish before it becomes a dispute.
For builders, that means one experienced broker setting the plan, and a team handling tours, showings and keys at every address.
