Mark was truly amazing to work with. He took time to understand where we were as a family and made sure to tell us if he thought we may be taking on too much (in house projects!). He was able to steer us away from homes that he knew would not fit our needs and more importantly guide us to the home that has been perfect for our family! We loved his “no pressure” approach, his commitment to our needs and his never ending patience. Having been born and raised here in Bend, he knows the ends-and-outs of the neighborhoods, communities and school districts, plus he has a pocket full of great tradesmen! Coming into a tight market as first-time homebuyers we were worried it would be a stressful process, but Mark made the home buying process easier and smoother than we could have ever anticipated! We could not recommend him enough and are so grateful for his hard work!!

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.

If you’re wanting two experts in the Bend area, look no further than John and Shannon! They look out for your best interests over just getting a sale for themselves. They don’t over complicate the buying and selling process. They truly go to bat for you and do the hard work without stressing you out with it. They are also great about being as involved or as hands off as you want which we appreciated! Not to mention how tuned into they market they are. Overall they were a great team and we will use them for all of our future real estate endeavors.
Happy home owners 2020

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!

Kim is an excellent, kind, and trustworthy realtor! She is a long time Bend resident who knows the neighborhoods and understands the needs of various clients who want to buy in Bend. I had a great experience with her; she recently helped me purchase my home this winter. I really appreciated that she was genuinely interested in finding me the home I wanted and could afford, and that she understood what my priorities were. I highly recommend her!

We have been fortunate to have had some great agents over the years but Kim Gilchrist absolutely stands out as the best real estate professional we have had the pleasure of working with. The market is extremely tight and she found a home for us that perfectly fit our (long) list of needs that hadn't even hit the market yet. We had to get our existing home on the market quickly and Kim helped setup all the needed vendors to get our home listed and showing at it's best so we got multiple offers then were able to choose the best of them. She anticipated our needs and would have problems solved along with the needed vendors lined up to resolve the issue. Multiple times we'd think "We need to lookin into (whatever issue)" and before we could ask, Kim would be calling us having anticipated the issue And already lining up a solution or two. She's extremely knowledgeable, proactive, and very likable so others in the industry enjoy working with her and are sure to keep her clients happy.
We highly recommend Kim, she's the best!

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.

My husband and I loved working with Mark to buy our first home! We appreciated his knowledge of the local market, ins and outs of the neighborhoods, and his responsiveness. He took the time to get to know our desires and needs for our home and helped us find it! Especially in such a crazy and competitive market, we feel so grateful to have worked with Mark!
