  • AnnieRose and Sean are the best real estate agents you can use in Portland.

    As a aging queer who’s beginning my career I decided I was sick of paying rent so others could profit off my livelihood so I reached out to this dream team to find a house in my budget for my dog and I. After touring homes for a little less than 2 weeks I found the perfect one for me. First house we made an offer on and with the help and support of them I was picked! It made the entire house buying process extremely easy and not at all painful. When I hear others stories of buying houses it sounds treacherous and I’m humbled to have had an experience that was so easy in comparison to the terrible stories I’ve heard others experience. If you’re anti-capitalist, queer, Jewish, and want to build a nice life for yourself in Portland by owning property I highly recommend you work with AnnieRose and Sean.

  • Neither of us ever thought we’d buy a house, but then I saw Sean and Annie Rose’s YouTube video showing a small compound for sale,

    including vicious attack cat! Most brokers and realtors I’ve dealt with are boring and straight, or actively slimey. But these two advertised helping make your weird queer housing dreams come true – and they did not disappoint! Immediately upon meeting them I knew they were our kind of folks. They easily understood our goals for buying property, inspired us with their own homes, and gave us the confidence and information that we could actually make it happen. Going “shopping” with Sean is super fun, and both Sean and Annie Rose were super easy to communicate with and organized. I can’t imagine the process being any better! I honestly do not think we would have even started the process, nor found our dream set up, without Sean and Annie Rose. I cannot recommend them more highly. Don’t be silly, let these two find your Home Sweet Homo!

  • Never in my wildest dreams and best laid spells could I have found better hands to land in.

    Representation and visibility make a huge difference, and Sean Bug's visibility as a trans queer realtor was the inspiration we needed to actualize our dreams. Throughout our home buying quest we received knowledgeable support and heart centered advocacy, when we encountered unanticipated challenges, Sean Bug and AnnieRose helped us to navigate with compassion and understanding. Thank you Sean Bug and AnnieRose, this would not have been possible without you! Now please excuse me while I continue picking blackberries on my very own half acre! If you find the idea of buying a house absolutely intimidating to downright impossible, look no further than Property Weirdos, Sean Bug Brochin and AnnieRose Shapero.

  • AnnieRose probably showed my family and me well over 100 homes (!!) over the course of several years.

    We were a realtor's worst nightmare, we had a very difficult time finding the right home. Both AnnieRose and Sean are very sensitive and caring about their client's needs and wishes, while also being pragmatic and very savvy when it comes to the ever-so-challenging Portland real estate market.

    As a home inspector, I have done around 47 inspections for their clients! They both are professionals who ask the right questions about the inspection, in order to protect their client's best interests. They have a slew of reputable specialized contractors ready when repairs and/or bids need to be made, which I appreciate as a former contractor myself! I see Annie Rose and Sean working to support the needs of LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, BIPOC, and undersupported folks in our community at every transaction, my family included! Thanks AnnieRose and Sean!

  • Sean Bug *realtor extraordinaire* helped my partner and me purchase a beautiful cozy place,

    by listening to what we wanted and then going out and finding it. A million thanks and my whole-hearted endorsement!

  • You know that feeling you have with a beloved movie or series where you think to yourself: “No one else that could have played that role” OR “If even one person had not been a part of that cast it wouldn’t be the same” ?

    Well, that’s what it felt like to work with Sean Bug and Annie. I know for a fact that the beautiful experience I had was only because it was the two of them specifically. They were so patient and enthusiastic and always a step ahead of any question I might have had so that I felt informed and a part of the process every step of the way. And that’s truly no small feat because taxes, APRs, earnest money and paperwork are NOT my jam in the least.

    Other than their very obvious love and talent for working with newbies, I think what I appreciated most about this experience is the shorthand between fellow Queers. In fact, they made my entire experience Queer as my mortgage loan officer as well as my home inspector were LGBTQ+ too!Because of this I knew I’d never once feel the pressure to ‘hide’ myself. I'm also a Black woman AND I have a disability and at every intersection of my identity I felt seen, respected and accommodated if necessary. That’s saying a lot.

    Two Queerdo’s that grew up lower middle class held on to the thinnest sliver of faith that just mayyyyybe we could buy a home and Sean and Annie came into our lives and said “You sure can!” And with their patience, care and knowledge……we sure freaking did!

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I own a HOME!!!!!!!!!!

    With all the gratitude and love you can hold,

  • Sean Brochin is very knowledgeable, extremely resourceful and generous with his time.

    We never felt pressured while we took our time looking for our ideal home. Through his connections, we were able to bid on and buy the house of our dreams before it was even listed.
