When my husband and I decided to relocate to Bend from Seattle, we had to find a trusted and…read moreRESPONSIVE agent. I contacted several and Paul was the FIRST to respond. He followed up on every phone call. While vacationing in Sunriver, he quickly put together a list of houses, based on my criteria of location, size, price and timing. He even steered me away from a few of the houses that I chose as he is an expert in the Central Oregon area. In one day we were able to find the perfect home with his guidance. One day! We even "sealed the deal" as I was floating down the Deschutes River. My husband looked at me, "Did you just buy a house while were floating?!" "Yep!" I replied. Needless to say, I recommend Paul with an enthusiastic 5 stars!

He was conscientious and treated us like family members he cared for. When my sister found THE HOUSE OF MY DREAMS, he agreed that it was his favorite and even though my sister stubbornly felt akin to another property for a brief moment when we met for the second then third and forth time she began to see the life that was about to become her reality and thanked us both profusely for not pushing her and allowing this amazing new journey in her life to come to fruition.

Work best with someone warm, personable, and enthusiastic? You'll like Jane. Wishing to hire a patient, hard worker who will always be there for you, wanting that right house as much as you do? You'll hit the jackpot with Jane! It took us two and a half years to sell our home in Utah and then obtain a contract with a solid, committed seller in Redmond, Oregon. Jane walked by our side (physically or in spirit) the entire time. We could not be more grateful for her efforts. She has sacrificed far more than a normal amount of both realtor and personal time to help us, stood by us as we had to either engage or put on hold her services at least six times, patiently led us thru the administrative purchase process for four houses (three fell through thru no fault of Jane's), and has worked hard to understand and accommodate all of our needs and requests along the way. Hire Jane Flood; you'll be glad you did!

It was our last resort. Literally. I walked into our unit for the first time once we were handed…read morethe keys and it immediately smelled like cigarette smoke from the previous tenants. Within the first week we cleaned grime and gunk from every window in the unit by hand, yet I'm betting management made sure to hit the previous tenants with the "cleaning fee" during their move-out. Maintenance did a great job creating a facade of cleanliness and orderliness of the apartment grounds by using a leaf blower to stir dust and dirt around in the stairwells, yet if you had a maintenance request in the unit, best of luck to you. During winter we had a leak in the window of the second bedroom due to all the rain and snowfall of the season and it leaked onto our furniture and personal items. Thankfully, we put in a maintenance request to get it fixed before more damage could be done. I am happy to report our maintenance request was eventually honored....in the middle of March...by one elderly crew member walking into the room and saying they would call someone to get it caulked from the outside....oh and that didn't get done for another month. Stellar job maintenance crew. In terms of management, yikes! Move out procedure was difficult as we had to call multiple times to get updates on what needed to be done for moving out. It seemed there was a clear level of disinterest in us as tenants once we were no longer providing more cashflow for the apartment owner. We spent a full day after we moved out sweeping, scrubbing, mopping the floors, cleaning the windows (we weren't gonna get dinged for window grime), vacuuming the floors, cleaning the bathrooms, you get the idea. It was real awesome getting 1/4 of our deposit back for "cleaning fees, painting fees, and carpet repair". I guess no matter what we will get charged for window grime. Don't forget I said the apartment was disgusting and grimy when we first moved in. We tried the whole "leave it better than you found it" approach but either we are blind or they are greedy. I will say we did have one cat that scratched some of the carpet in the second bedroom entry way, but $400 to repair an entry way? Maybe I should get into the carpet repair business if it's that lucrative, or maybe management is being dishonest and up-charging repairs. We were charged at a previous residence for the same thing, but to the tune of $150, which was understandable and we took responsibility without complaint. Management will bite you any chance they get to keep as much of your deposit as possible. So even though they say small nail-holes are allowed, it turns out you're going to get charged for cleaning and painting. What an absolute joke. This was a literal last resort for us and we are happy to have moved out of there. If you're a prospective tenant looking for an apartment to rent in Bend, I would caution you against renting at The Commons. This is my TED Talk on just maintenance and management alone and how they're going to rip you off given the opportunity. Next TED Talk will focus on how you can practically interject in your neighbors conversations with how thin the walls are. Don't forget the abysmal parking situation. Happy apartment hunting!
