When it comes to one of the biggest financial (and emotional) decisions of your life—buying or selling a home—you want the right people on your team. There are more than 2,000 licensed Realtors in Central Oregon alone(!!!), so how do you find the perfect fit?
Here are some smart questions to ask when interviewing Realtors in Bend:
1. What experience do you have in the Bend real estate market?
Full-time Realtors always have a pulse on the market. And not just on the city as a whole, but on individual neighborhoods, streets, and community pockets.
We’re in and out of homes every week.
We’re talking to our local and national networks.
We know what’s sitting and what’s getting snapped up right away.
And we get to know WHY.
An experienced Bend Realtor will know how to position you for success whether you’re buying or selling.
2. How will you help me find the right home (or sell mine for the best terms)?
Whether you’re buying or selling, we always want to know your WHY – and expertly guide you in reaching your goals. A skilled Realtor isn’t just a messenger. We’re fierce advocates, savvy negotiators, and buffers when emotions run high.
Having someone in your corner who gets the emotional side, protects your interests, and guides you to the finish line? It makes all the difference.

3. What sets your services apart from other Realtors?
With thousands of agents to choose from, ask what makes them different. Do they use creative marketing? Negotiation strategies that consistently win offers? Do they care about their clients or just getting the deal?
We provide a service and our approach is unique to each client, depending on their needs and goals. If you feel like your Realtor is in sales, you need a new Realtor. 😉
4. Can you provide references or testimonials from other clients?
The best proof is a happy client. (We’re grateful to work mostly by referral!) Ask for stories that sound like your situation.
5. Are you a full-time Realtor?
Real estate in Bend moves fast. A full-time agent can prioritize your needs and respond quickly when the right opportunity comes up.
Why Realtor Designations Matter
Bonus points if your Bend Realtor has professional designations. These signal additional training and experience, meaning they’re equipped to handle even the most complex transactions.
Why Our Clients Choose Us
We feel extra grateful for every client who chooses us, and for the many referrals we receive. Here are a few stories we love:
-
- Abbey + Brent needed to write a contingent offer on their dream home. We landed it with the best terms and sold their current home in under a week—over asking, with multiple offers.
- Jill wanted to move closer to her grandchildren. We found her a “unicorn” home, then sold her previous home before it even hit the market.
- Meg was buying and selling investment property. She needed a fast, seamless process with creative pricing and negotiations. We made it happen.
- Britt + Noah were ready to sell their starter home and buy a fixer-upper for their growing family. We guided them through both transactions smoothly.
- Trish + Mark were moving out of the area to be closer to family, and trusted us to sell their gorgeous custom home twice as fast as comparable homes in their neighborhood.
Our goal is to serve you, and all of our future clients, with such a unique and customized approach that you are proud to call us your Realtors for life– because we’re there to help long after your home closes.
We’re natural born matchmakers, and are happy to connect you with whatever you might need locally!
Need a chiro? We got you.
Need an HVAC? We’ve got that too!
