I want to say thanks for you and your firm's professional handling of my recent townhouse sale in Bend, Oregon. Your firm was first class in all respects. You obtained an offer very shortly after it was listed. This offer was all cash, and escrow was closed within 20 days.
I would gladly recommend you personally and your firm for anyone looking to buy or sell in the Bend area.
Thank you again.

We worked with Mark to sell our home. He is very knowledgeable about the market and research your specific area to make sure he targets the right buyers. He was very honest and upfront with info and strategy - I never felt he was being gimmicky or overselling his services. He clearly answered any questions we had, responded very quickly to calls or emails, and stuck to the timeline of when we wanted to sell. When we needed to make updates and repairs before showing the house, he had great recommendations for contractors/services and helped us with contacting them. The open house he had was very successful. He was great throughout the entire process - from getting the house ready to sell all the way through final inspection and closing papers. His hard work paid off for all of us.

"Carrie was wonderful to work with. As first-time home buyers, we were looking for a realtor that was knowledgeable, responsive, and down to earth. Carrie has all of those qualities and more. She knows the community and she understood what we were looking for. Carrie made the process of buying a home seem easy and fun. "

We were the Sellers in a sale where the selling price was high. She fully explained the process and helped us in a calm and knowledgeable manner when we had concerns about negotiations and an inspection. Very professional and was always available for questions and feedback. We would highly recommend her as someone who can handle all of our real estate needs.

With the help of Jennifer, we purchased two real estate investment properties. We appreciated Jennifer's knowledge of the local market place. We found her to be professional, responsive and personable. We were happy to have Jennifer on our side during the negotiations, as her skill and knowledge led to a favorable outcome. We highly recommend Jennifer to assist in any real estate transaction.

Jennifer is awesome! She's super accommodating and very friendly. I was super new to the area and had no knowledge of what was out there. She helped me navigate through all of my wants and needs for a house. As a first time home buyer, I gave Jen the difficult task of a "no wants" list - basically I told her that when we find the house I'll know. The only requirement was that I wanted to be a maximum 20 minutes from work. She found some great houses along the way and made it difficult to figure out what I really wanted. I just turned 25 and buying a house as a 24 yr old was very scary, but Jen made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I made three offers, each on three different homes. She made negotiating a very understandable and comfortable process. I'm very grateful for her guidance and am so happy with my home. She's definitely someone I would work with again, but it won't be for a while since she found the perfect home for me!

We are so lucky to find Mark for our house purchase when we moved here from California. We can honestly say he is the best realtor we have worked with ever. He is honest, responsive to our needs and concerns, but never pushy, and extreme knowledgable about what we should be looking into (structures, house conditions, maintenance etc.) when purchasing a single family home. We feel we can put our trust in him 100%. We would recommend him to anyone who wants to buy a home.

I highly recommend the Kromm team to anyone looking to buy or sell in Central Oregon. We actually found them through their YouTube channel while considering a move to Bend, which is genius because we already felt like we had a connection once we started working together. Shannon represented us as our buyer’s agent for the purchase of our new construction home and she worked so hard for us, had lots of knowledge about the entire process, as well as understood specifics to our particular builder.
We actually purchased the home from abroad and she helped make the whole process smooth and effortless on our end, got all of our questions answered, and did it all seamlessly even with our nine hour time difference.
I honestly cannot imagine having gone through that process without her. Her help was absolutely invaluable to us. They also left the sweetest gift basket for us and really went the extra mile by arranging a second floor cleaning so our newly mobile baby could crawl around the empty home while we wait for our international household goods shipment.
Thank you Shannon and John!
Finally relocating!

Oleta’s help was essential from beginning to end. This was the first time for me to sell a home on my own, and I was very intimidated by the process. Oleta took time to walk me through each step and explained everything in a way that made me feel confident to move forward. Her guidance made all the difference. I highly recommend Oleta Yancey for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We recently bought our house -- what a pleasure it has been to work with Mark Olsen to make this long-held dream come true!
Mark did a walk-through of the home with us and, from that stage on, was with us every step of the way. We were surprised and delighted at how he anticipated our needs and was often one step ahead! People often like to say they are "detailed-oriented" but Mark truly is the real deal; we were amazed at how he unfailingly circled back to address outstanding questions and issues. We can't say enough about how much we appreciated his professionalism & real estate knowledge, his prompt & thorough communication, his patience in explaining the process and answering our myriad questions, and his wonderfully cheerful spirit and sense of humor. Making an offer on a home and going through the inspection & negotiation process is a real nail-biter to be sure but, with Mark along with us for the ride, it was also fun!
Mark is a knowledgeable, great realtor to work with. We feel really fortunate and grateful to have met him!
