About Wick ASHLEYMy diverse professional background as a licensed contractor, investment property owner, and property manager allows me to provide practical insights and expertise to my clients.
With more than 13 years as principal , my focus has been on guiding clients through their home-buying journey as the lead Buyer's agent on our team. I've been known for listening well and navigating negotiations to help buyers discover properties that align with their preferences.
I've honed my negotiation skills, especially in competitive situations with multiple offers or repair discussions, and I'm grateful for the positive feedback from clients. My diverse professional background as a licensed contractor, investment property owner, and property manager allows me to provide practical insights and expertise to my clients.
In addition to my real estate experience, my past roles as a high school teacher and outdoor educator have shaped my approach to naturally educate and inform clients throughout the real estate process.
Aside from my knowledge, I try to bring a sense of humor to the team, fostering a positive environment. My commitment to service is reflected in my willingness to assist clients with various tasks, from dump runs to offering remodeling tips and loaning tools. I'm dedicated to serving clients with integrity and strive to be a valuable member of our team.

We haven't had the best experience working with realtors in the past, so we were extremely happy and relieved to have worked with Karoline, Wick, and Teresa. They were super responsive and helped guide us through the process of selling our house since we had never been through it before. They walked us through every step and always answered our questions. They even helped us when we had questions about our new house. They also went the extra mile of putting bibs on our hoses and turning up the thermostat at our old house before a big snowstorm. We listed our house and had TWO offers in one week. I could keep going on and on, but I'll stop here and just say I highly recommend them!

I can’t recommend the Ashley Realty Team enough! Wick and Karoline were both so helpful in selling my first home. Karoline helped us navigate a crazy market and was very communicative through the whole process. I received multiple offers from the open house and accepted a great offer a few days after it was put on the market. Thank you Ashley Realty Team Northwest!!

We worked with Wick and Karoline in buying our first home and then selling it 8 years later after an extensive fixer-upper experience… I can’t recommend them enough. They are both huge supporters of your home buying and home renovation experiences. They are very knowledgeable, approachable and kind people. We consider them good friends. And, icing on the cake…they are all about community, are both community-oriented.

Karoline and the team were great to work with. They persevered when our sale fell thru and brought us another, even more qualified buyer. And mostly, they put up with us as we struggled through purchase of our new home without the funds from our condo, they stayed calm through all our demands ( we probably were those clients) and brought us to closing. They have the solutions!

We had the pleasure of working with Karoline and Wick to buy and then recently sell our house. They are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They feel like close friends who are just a call away! We can't say enough great things about them!

Karoline and Wick are the best! When it came time for my wife and I to buy a new home there was no question that we would use them to list our home. They have great attention to detail and gave us excellent advice on how to prepare our home for sale. They had a great referral network of contractors for all the work that needed to be done on our home. Our home looked amazing when it went on the market and sold the first weekend over our asking price. I cannot recommend Karoline and Wick enough (and their entire support team). They are superstar realtors. They are also two of the nicest people you will ever meet. USE THEM. You will be glad you did!!!

We had an incredible experience working with the Ashley Realty Works Team! We were guided through the home selling process with incredible care, patience and marketing savvy that allowed us to sleep easy at night knowing that our home was getting the attention it needed. We were given a list of contractors that helped us spiff up our home prior to selling. Their negotiating expertise when it came down to the final bids was amazing! Wick and Karoline and their entire team are amazing and I would recommend Ashley Realty Works 100%!!!

Karoline recently helped us sell our beloved home in SE Portland. As first time home sellers, she was consistently kind, patient, understanding, available, and very helpful with our zillions of questions. Her enthusiasm and attention to detail were much appreciated, and her very impressive sales numbers backed up her positive testimonials. We felt very supported throughout the process and were thrilled to receive multiple offers—all over the asking price—less than a week after the house was listed. We would absolutely work with Karoline again if given the chance!
