What started as a simple reconnect conversation turned into something so much more—and ultimately led us to hiring Elisha and her amazing team to guide us through the home-selling process. Looking back, we feel incredibly fortunate that our paths crossed when they did!

Selling a home remotely is no easy task, but Elisha made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel seamless. Her incredible network of trusted specialists was there at every turn, helping coordinate all the details and making sure nothing was overlooked. From the beautiful staging, which was absolutely perfect and thoughtfully appointed, to the many moving pieces behind the scenes, every detail was handled with care and intention.

Elisha’s expertise truly shined when it came time to price our home. She has a deep understanding of both the macro and micro markets in the region, and her insight, strategy, and confidence gave us tremendous peace of mind. When multiple offers came in above asking price, it further affirmed just how fortunate we were to have Elisha on our team.

Beyond her market knowledge and professionalism, what we appreciated most was having someone we could trust to look out for our best interests, especially from a distance. Elisha and her team went above and beyond to make the entire experience a positive one, and we are so grateful for the care, dedication, and expertise they brought to every step of the journey.

Sometimes a simple conversation leads to exactly the right connection, and that was certainly the case for us. We couldn’t recommend Elisha and her team more highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you, Elisha, for everything you did to make this such a wonderful experience!

In a market that has a million real estate agents to choose from, it can feel like they’re all the same but that’s definitely not the case.

 
Elisha is in a league of her own.

 
When it comes to selling a house, it isn’t as simple as listing it for sale. Elisha came to see our home and let us know exactly what we needed to do in order to get it sold quickly. Some of the things she recommended seemed odd but we trusted her expertise and followed through with her recommendations and our house was literally on the market for 6 days before getting a full price offer and a clean inspection from the buyers.

 
She saved us a ton of time and hassle of going back and forth with potential buyers with negotiations because our home was 100% ready to sell, thanks to her.

When we found our new home, she helped ensure we got the best deal possible.

 
She has an eye for things that make or break buying & selling at the highest price so when it comes to finding those little details, there’s no one better. We got our new house for $39k under the original list price plus a $23k credit for repairs.

 
Her communication is clear and concise which can go unnoticed to some but we’re so grateful for all her due diligence in handling the back and forth with the sellers agent to get us the best deal possible.

 
She has also helped my mother sell and purchase a home. Elisha is the only realtor I’d trust to do business with my mother and be sure she isn’t taken advantage of in any way.

 
If you want the buying/selling process of real estate to be as seamless and painless as possible, Elisha Alcantara is your one and only.

I had the pleasure of working with Elisha Alcantara during my home buying process.  As a first-time homebuyer I didn’t know the first thing about purchasing a home. Elisha had me well informed from the beginning. From what everyone tells you, the home buying process can be stressful and scary (especially in this current market) but I couldn’t have had a more opposite experience from that. Not only did I find my forever home after just a few showings but I am still in shock over how easy and smooth the process was. Elisha made this time fun and exciting and most importantly I get to leave this experience with a new friend. Her incredible counterpart Alisha Sherman (E/Alisha squared I called them) was an added bonus as well. If Elisha was busy, Alisha was there to fill in. Alisha was there for my home inspection, walk-through, and to hand the keys over. This team was really there at my beck and call. Between asking silly questions and getting in all the necessary documentation these women were there at any moment's notice. I feel extremely lucky to have been connected with such an incredible team. I will be recommending this team to my friends and family when it comes to home buying!

Elisha was absolutely wonderful to work with through both the sale of our home and the purchase of our new one. Buying and selling a home can be complicated and stressful, but she navigated the entire process effortlessly. Her communication was outstanding—she kept us informed at every step, responded quickly, and made sure we always understood what was happening.

She was an excellent problem solver and brought creativity to every challenge that came up. Her knowledge of the market helped us make confident decisions, and her guidance was invaluable throughout both transactions. Most of all, Elisha maintained a positive, encouraging attitude that made the entire experience feel manageable and smooth.

We highly recommend Elisha to anyone buying or selling a home!

Elisha was outstanding to work with from start to finish. Her advice, guidance, and attention to detail made a huge difference throughout the entire process. She provided excellent input on finishes and design details that helped our home show its best and ultimately contributed to a successful sale. Elisha was knowledgeable, responsive, and always had our best interests in mind. We truly appreciated her expertise and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

I can’t recommend Elisha highly enough. Selling a house is stressful, but she made it feel like it was all under control from the very start. She genuinely cared - checking in beyond just the transaction, anticipating what we needed before we even asked, and always making time for our questions no matter how small. It never felt like we were just another listing.

Beyond the personal touch, she clearly knew what she was doing: the process was smooth, communication was constant, and we always felt like we were in good hands. If you want a realtor who treats you like family and still gets great results, Elisha is who you want.

We cannot recommend Elisha and team enough!

Working with them is a dream—they are patient, clear, and unbelievably responsive. They guided us through securing our dream vacation home, navigating a competitive market with expertise and care.

They previously helped us with a mid-term rental, and both experiences were flawless.

They truly have your best interest at heart, advocating for you through inspections and negotiations to get the best outcome.

We are so blessed to have found not just a fantastic realty team, but lifelong friends. Thank you!

Elisha and team are the true definition of professional.

They were knowledgeable, responsive, and efficient during the entire purchasing process. More importantly, they were PRESENT. Always willing and able to explain the why’s, or respectfully challenge when applicable.

If given the choice again, we wouldn’t choose anyone else to handle our realtor needs, and we wouldn’t hesitate to refer them to anyone, friend or family in the future.

Did I fail to mention that we are the happy new owners of our dream home? Thank you for making past dreams our current reality. 🖤🙏🏾

I am so grateful for Elisha’s hard work and dedication.

I referred Elisha to a relative who was settling a family member's estate and was not easy to work with.​

Elisha’s professionalism, market knowledge, kindness, and patience, really soothed my relative’s angst.

I appreciated her honesty and transparency throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Elisha to whoever is looking to buy or sell real estate.

This team was an absolute pleasure to work with. I felt very fortunate to have them on my side. They were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process making the entire experience a very positive and smooth one.

I would definitely work with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell. Thank you all again!

Working with Elisha and team was amazing, front to back! 

They were both incredibly knowledgeable and responsive, had my back, and felt like I had a power team in my corner at every minute of the process.

Hands down 10/10, thank you so much!

Buying a home, as I’ve come to realize, is very stressful to say the least!

Having Elisha and Taryn to rely on and knowing any questions my wife or I had would be answered with confidence made it a much better experience and always put us at ease.

Elisha and Taryn are the best of the best. These ladies are FAST and know how to perform in a booming market. When we began our search, we had no idea what we were looking for but knew we needed a yard for our pup, a room for our new baby, and a spacious kitchen. The team found the absolute perfect house for us and we put in an offer a day after it was listed.

The team was on top of each checkpoint throughout the process to ensure we were on track to close before I went out of town for work. The team made an effort to include us in every step of the way and went above and beyond to make the house feel like a home the moment we stepped in the door. We received the most beautiful hand-painting of the house and noticed the small details they’d left for us. We were so excited to become first-time homeowners and were finally able to give our pup his big backyard. They provided the best first experience we could have gotten - and if you need a sign to choose this team, THIS IS IT! —Maddy & Caleb

Kinected Realty, specifically Elisha, Molly, and Taryn, were an amazing team of realtors to work with. A professional company with knowledgeable woman who made it a point to be engaged, direct, and charismatic with each new home they showed me.

I then chose to use them to list and sell my home and I was not disappointed. The process was streamlined so that I did not have to take time away from work or moving, Elisha and her team handled everything! When I asked for specific points to be highlighted in my listing, the Kinected Realty team made sure they understood exactly the parameters of my request so that they could represent my home as if it were their own home. Last minute when I needed an outlet fixed, or an adjustment to my staging, Elisha had contractors and personnel on hand to assist me. I would highly recommend this awesome team of woman for your next residential or investment property!

—Rachel

Shane and I have been beyond impressed with how smooth this process has been! The three of you are a dream team! This has been the best experience we've ever had buying a home (and there's been quite a few!). You all have been so kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable from start to finish - as if we were your only clients.

We appreciate you working with us through FaceTime, a different time zone, and even vacation. You all seemed to be one step ahead at all times and truly made the most stressful part of this transition, the easiest one. 

You've got customers for life! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making one our dreams come true.     

—Hannah and Shane

My experience with Elisha and Taryn was truly special. From finding my new home to selling my old home, they walked beside me through every step of the way. They made sure paperwork for both properties was handled correctly and on time. They scheduled and managed inspections, needed repairs, and the little extra things that I didn’t think about. When it came to repairs, they got multiple quotes and recommendations.  

All this finds me happily in my new home knowing that I had the best team possible to make this complicated process as easy and seamless as possible. Thank you so much! —Kristy

Thank you so much. All three of you. It was a genuinely great experience working with you all. You're all great at what you do and each of you brings a unique perspective and personality to the table. I know Belinda and I were super grateful for all of the help and guidance that we got during this process. While I'm happy that this experience ended up being a pretty quick one, I'm a little bummed that we don't get to keep working with you. I'm certain that we'll be reaching out in the future if we are ever looking to sell or buy another place. Again, thank you. I cannot say it enough. —Merik and Belinda

Buying or selling a house can be one of the most exciting and overwhelming times. My wife and I have now been on both sides of that roller coaster and our only advice to anyone getting ready to board is to find yourself an amazing team like Kinected Realty.

This team is made up of talented, kind, knowledgeable and full of fun women. They are so brilliant at what they do, it allowed us to have peace of mind and enjoy the adventure. We can't recommend them enough!

—Mliss and Amy

Buying a house out of state in such a competitive market was surprisingly not as stressful as I thought it would be and that was 100% because of the amazing team we worked with. The energy and attention we received was above and beyond what we expected or what typically is received in a realty transaction.

 Elisha, Taryn and Molly not only helped us find our home and make the move to Oregon as seamless as possible, but the support after closing was incredibly helpful and appreciated. I really can’t say enough. —Karri and Eric

From the moment we started working with Elisha, Taryn and Molly, I relaxed and knew the sale of our house was in capable and dependable hands. 

They were always available for our questions and to address any concerns that popped up. This team was not only fun to work with, but they are extremely knowledgeable, organized, and savvy in this unique housing market. 

 Their service far exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend them to anyone.

—Amber and Evan

This is the second time we have worked with Elisha and her team and I must truly say that it has been once again an amazing experience. They helped us a couple years ago with the purchase of our first home and this last time they helped us with the purchase of a rental home.

 With the way the market is right now purchasing a home was a little different, but with their patience, excellent communication and knowledge it was definitely a smooth purchase.

I can't think of a better team to work with and 100% recommend them! 

—Jenny & Jorge

This is the second time I’ve worked with Taryn, Elisha and Molly and it just keeps getting better and better. I have been lucky enough to buy my first home, sell said home and buy a second with this team.

Everything has gone so smoothly and they made each piece of the puzzle so easy and communicated about everything along the way so there were never any surprises. Any question I had was answered in a timely manner, they helped facilitate little things, big things and made sure Iwas taken care of every step of the way.

I cannot recommend a better team to work with when buying or selling your home. The attention to detail, communication and strength of this team can’t be matched! Everyone brings something to the table and I always feel so well cared for during the process and after. —Sadie

​If you think your dream home is out of reach for whatever reason—finances, covid restrictions, or the competitiveness of this crazy market—then I f*cking dare you to give these girls a crack at it. All the stars needed to align for us to end up in our dream and this team somehow made it happen. Every step of the way of our search and purchase was met with resistance and complications (literally every step) and every step of the way, we fully expected the dream to end and reality to set in.  From the outset, we told ourselves to be realistic,  avoid falling in love and we’d likely end up “settling” for something we could live with.  The market is too crazy, we can’t afford to compete etc etc.  They met each of those obstacles with a smile, a plan of attack and completely overcame every one of them. 

They got us our dream home and we still have little idea as to how—and again, that’s because they beared the brunt of the burden so we didn’t have to.  We both work full time and have busy lives, as most couples trying to purchase a home nowadays, and the girls definitely accommodate for that—they’re incredibly responsive, receptive, knowledgeable, always have their client’s best interests prioritized (usually 2 or 3 steps ahead) and communicate in ways that are efficient, stress-limiting and idiot proof (text messaging, docusign etc).  

Can’t rave about or recommend them highly enough but can assure anyone reading this that there’s no better team of professionals to have in your corner for what’s often a brutal, stressful and painstaking process.  They’re total badasses and get shit DONE. 

Go find your dream home, give them a call and prove me wrong. 

I cannot recommend Elisha and team highly enough!

We just completed a 6-month journey in a very crazy real estate market where we sold our current home and bought a new one simultaneously. This whole process of doing a contingent sale was super tough and overwhelming at times, but the only reason that we got through it, and got through it with the absolute best deal possible (better than we even expected) was because of these women.

They helped us every step of the way and had trusted referrals for every service we needed. It started with decluttering our current home in February of 2025 (they referred us to a great resource for this) then making thoughtful repairs/minor repairs to the house to make our home attractive to the largest audience possible (and of course they had referrals for contractors to handle the repairs).

They were patient with us and had the perfect blend of educating us while still letting us make our own decisions (and even mistakes if we chose to lol).

Their attentiveness, people skills, and managing of the whole process and our expectations was second to none. We also got to experience a few other realtors during this process (the buyer’s agent for our old home and the seller’s agent on our new home) and seeing what can happen if you don’t have an amazing team like this became quite apparent!

We drug them out on countless property viewings all across northern Oregon. My wife and I also had a few moments of “freaking out” over this 6 months, but they never wavered. I truly cannot think of how they could have done any better for us, Elisha and team far exceeded our expectations. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell. A++++ with 5 Gold stars 😊

Working with Elisha and her team was a dream. Their knowledge, expertise and willingness to go the extra mile was best in class! Their first priority is their client and speaking as one, I knew that from day one.

I would highly recommend them for any real estate transaction without hesitation.

​They have my family and me as clients for life; thank you so very much!!!

As a first-time home seller, I felt overwhelmed by the process of preparing and listing my home for sale. I needed someone who would be willing to take on a big project and explain in clear terms each step of the process. Good fortune led me to Elisha and team and I decided to put my trust in them. I am amazed at the results. After a beautiful staging and open house, we received over two dozen offers after one weekend. After guiding me through the offers, the house sold for well over asking price.

We couldn't be happier with our experience working with them in the purchase of our investment property. Elisha and team took care of our needs (there were many). They walked us through start to finish of our purchase. Elisha exceeded our expectations with staging our property and filling it with all the things our tenant will need. Not only have we met the team we will use for all future real estate endeavors, we have also met great friends. Thank you and we are so blessed to have crossed paths" —Rhea and Anthony

Elisha and team were helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. They supported us throughout the whole process, provided great insights, and helped us ultimately find a house we love. Though we were very picky and opinionated, Elisha stayed with us and really helped guide us in the right direction. They were extremely responsive, reliable, and organized throughout. I would recommend all of my friends to work with them.

Working with this team was a dream. We were particularly challenging clients, as we were looking for housing from out of state, we were somewhat unfamiliar with the Portland area, and we knew we would likely not be able to see a house in person before putting an offer down.

Right off the bat, Elisha put the time and energy into getting to know who we were, what we were about, and what we were looking for in every sense. Once she knew more about us, she was quickly able to steer us in the right direction on every house we showed interest in. We were always in close communication and always felt like we were a top priority.

 Communication was always prompt, honest, and with our best interests in mind. We felt confident during the entire process that we were in competent hands and being guided to the best home for us. It is beyond clear that the team understands this market and will do what is necessary to get the job done. Truly a unique business model that they have created and they excel at what they do.

We love our new home and will always recommend this team without hesitation!

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with the Elisha and team to assist in the process of finding and purchasing our home!

We could not have had a better experience. The team was so responsive to our questions, concerns, and were always there to show us houses.

We weren’t the most straight forward clients, I guess you could call us picky, but they were adamant that they would be by our side until we found the perfect home. We eventually did and they worked their magic to help us get a good deal and close. It all felt effortless with their help.

They have been doing this for a long time and it shows. They are masters of their craft. I cannot recommend them enough if you are looking to buy a home. They went above and beyond for my family.

I will most certainly be referring my close friends and family to this amazing team. In fact Elisha helped my mom find her home years ago which is how I knew how awesome she was. It’s hard to find good people nowadays but I can honestly say, look no further, this team is it. Happy home buying!

Ladies, it was a great experience working with you both. I learned a tremendous amount about real estate and myself. I have never met two more hard working passionate about their business women than you. 

You beautified my home in a way I didn't think was possible. My home was on the market 5 months with my previous agent and didn't make a blip on the real estate radar - you gained more traction in 1 week than my previous agent did in 5 months! In a tough market you sold my home in 3 weeks - unbelievable!

 I know I wasn’t the easiest person to work with 😉 (understatement), and I greatly appreciate your grace and patience with me. You earned your commission and some! 😁 —Grateful Seller

We have been so impressed with your team’s work and will be recommending your team to anyone that even mentions the word house to us in the future.

Lauren’s also going to tell the admin person for her physician group to start recommending your team to everyone.

—Greg and Lauren

We have purchased and sold a few houses in our time. I must say this was the smoothest, fastest and most stress-free experience we’ve ever had.

You guys were outstanding, knowledgeable, communicative and patient.

We are very grateful for all your support. Thank you!

-Alex and Marcy

Oh, Elisha - It’s been a dream working with you on all of it. I could not have done it without your support on both ends of these projects!

You made the house sale so very easy - I can’t believe how quickly and smoothly you made the process go. And, I so appreciate your easy availability to talk with me whenever I needed it. ️️️️

It was a great experience! The team is super friendly and helpful! Everyone makes the process less difficult. Everyone goes above the expectations! ️
