Without question, Kristi Kaufman, and the Cascade Lifestyle Group, stand out among what seems to be…read morean ocean-size pool of residential realtors vying to represent buyers and sellers throughout the Central Oregon region. Simply stated, she is amazing! After a careful vetting process, we engaged Kristi, and the Cascade Lifestyle Group to assist us with our out-of-state search for a new home in Bend, OR, and, could not have been any more impressed with her capabilities. Kristi is intelligent, articulate, super organized, exceedingly proactive, attentive, and possesses an eye for even the most minute detail. She's also always on time (virtually and in-person), which my wife and I noticed and appreciated. As out-of-state buyers, we wanted to be represented by an on-the-ground, 'battle-tested' advocate - someone who would 'champion' our position to a property seller, and be a highly effective negotiator. At the same time, we were in search of a realtor who would also be a consensus builder. Kristi effortlessly embodies these characteristics, which, after screening other Bend, OR-based realtors, we found to be lacking. The deep industry knowledge, thoughtful guidance, and spirited advocacy Kristi provided to us as out-of-state buyers, from an exhaustive property search to successful close, exceeded our expectations. We are deeply grateful to Kristi and the Cascade Lifestyle Group for their representation and wholeheartedly endorse her, and her partner, Catherine Scanland, to both buyers and sellers of residential properties throughout the greater Central Oregon market.

We weren't sure if it was even realistic to find something that checked all the boxes in such a short window, but Courtnay Phillips made it happen! Against all odds, she found an expired listing and made 60 phone calls attempting to connect with the owner. On day 5 of the trip, Courtney helped us put in an offer, and got it accepted. Courtnay's persistence, market knowledge, and refusal to give up until we had exactly what we needed turned what could have been a stressful scramble into a smooth, exciting success. We are so grateful for Courtnay's communication & genuine care for us. Courtnay serves from her heart, offers hard work and is a true professional.

Connie and Kelley are on the ball!…read more I've dealt with several other property managers over the years. They all felt a little lackadaisical to me. There was rarely a sense of urgency about anything. It seems like they just did whatever benefited them rather than their clients. Not so with Hummingbird! They've got a structured system and they stick to it. They're smart, gracious, and tough when they need to be... sometimes even with me. :) It's a refreshing change of pace.

Put 20 bags of mulch down in the back to replace what was barely there when we moved in. Caulked all the windows since it was old and dry rotted. Still got charged $1,000 on move out. Overall they were responsive to all of the problems we had with old appliances and plumbing problems while living there. We scheduled early to use their only authorized cleaner before moving out, they text they day before the cleaning to say they couldn't do it, then hummingbird charged an extra $300 cleaning fee since we didn't have it done before move out. Even though it was their preferred company that messed that up and we sent them proof of booking in advance and that they cancelled for unknown reasons. Don't know if this was a game to charge us more or not.

This is a highly unethical real estate group. I own lots of properties and I am a landlord and a…read moretenant. I have been a landlord since 1981. I would never use this organization to buy sell or rent list or do business with them in anyway shape or fashion. They are uncommunicative they lack Ethics and don't do business in good faith. I rented a property on December 8 signing a lease that was fully executed and legally ratified and gave the owner a security deposit. Over the past two months we coordinated my move with the owner making sure the utilities were in my name and making arrangements to pick up the key on the move in date which is February 1. My family made arrangements to fly in to help me with the move and I paid a mover as well. There were a great deal of arrangements that were necessary and I forwarded my mail. This last Friday less than a week before my move I received a casual email from the landlord that she would not be allowing me to move in. She gave no excuses or reasons. I found out that she had actually sold the house and never took it off the market during the period of time that she showed me the house, executed the lease, took the security deposit, and coordinate my move. Thinking that she had an obligation to at least tell her buyer, the title company, the broker, and all associated contacts, I contacted the Harcourt Garner group to try to gain some assistance. They would do nothing! They referred me to their attorney who stonewalled me at every juncture. They are unethical and a bad neighborhood and community partners. The bottom line is doing business with them is a risk and I would never take it

They will tell you a closing cost price and then change it on you after you have already paid THEIR price.

For your title needs, there has to be a more honest and trustworthy company out there.

They wasted our time on a house that has been up for rent for months , which clearly is their fault. I would never rent from them or use them for a rental property. Also after talking to multiple people in Bend, I have learned they use rental history as a reason to deny people falsely all the time. Even rental owners are extremely upset with this company.
