WHO IS KEY INSTINCTS
I’m Laurel, a Portland real estate guide and mother of two.
Real estate is a big decision, not just financially but emotionally.
It can bring excitement and self-doubt at the same time, and most people do not realize how much support they need until they are already in the process.
Since 2013, I’ve helped hundreds of buyers and sellers navigate the Portland market with clarity, strategy, and steady support from first conversation to closing.
My approach is grounded, direct, and supportive. I help you understand your options, trust your instincts, and make decisions that feel right both emotionally and practically.
What People Are Saying
“Laurel will be my go-to agent as long as I live in Portland. She is incredibly hard working, patient, thoughtful, professional, passionate and really advocates/looks out for her clients best interest first. She is also a great listener and just a wonderful person to be around, which is helpful when you’re seeing a ton of houses and navigating tough decisions. Do not hesitate to work with her when you’re ready to buy a home.”
— Rachel Jaye“Truly, Laurel Marquand is the best realtor we could have hoped for...and more! When we moved to Portland, she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to get our bearings--she even helped me find summer childcare for our daughters. She worked so hard to help us find a wonderful home and expertly helped us navigate a competitive market, all while making it look effortless. The time, passion and care she dedicates to her clients makes the whole process painless--and even fun. I trust her opinion, and her guidance and attention to detail has been invaluable. She's both professional and extremely personable, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell without hesitation. She's a major part of why our family ended up loving Portland so much.
— Alison Grant“Absolutely amazing! As first time home buyers, my husband and I were really at a loss as to how the whole process worked. Laurel was there every step of the way. She really listened to what we wanted, where we wanted, and what our budget was and did an amazing job blending that all together. Not having to worry about scheduling the inspections was a life saver! She made the home buying process easy and actually kind of fun. Highly recommended!”
