I wish I had taken Tamara C.'s yelp review more seriously before we hired her. My son had recently…read morelost his girlfriend, April 2026, in a tragic and sudden death. A few days later, his father passed after losing his battle with cancer. I flew up to Oregon to help my son sort through this tragic turn of events. I tried several other estate sales people, who were booked up months in advance. I then found Carie through Yelp and gave her a call. She started out great. She promised she could have an estate sale in June. She gained my son's trust by being really helpful. She came up with a significant amount of cash for my son by selling a cache of silver she found in his father's shop. All great. However, the sale kept getting postponed until July. Sadly, it was during the fire and that added to my son's trauma. Would anyone show up with all of the evacuations? They did. There were still sales, as she does have a following. Her crew did a great job sorting through all of the stuff that was in his father's massive shop. The sale went on for a few days and seemed really busy. She sent daily amounts of the sales to my son. My son was really upset that she literally gave away so much valuable stuff at pennies on the dollar. For example, my son had a tall tool cabinet stuffed with Snap On Tools. It was worth several THOUSANDS of dollars. Her "hired" help ended up buying the whole tool kit for $700.00! Her friends got really good deals. My son found out that on the last day, she gave people a box and told them to fill it up and only pay a few dollars. He also found some valuables tucked into a corner. When he asked Carie, she said it was stuff she wanted to buy for herself. (It's still in the corner.) On the last day, she had a church show up to haul off anything that wasn't sold. My son didn't know she was going to do that so he didn't even have a chance to see what had not sold. A few days went by, with no payment. Then weeks. Finally, she admitted she was broke. My son is owed at LEAST $5000.00. She has made two cash payments of $1000.00 each. One of her former employees told us that he sold some things from the estate on eBay and gave Carie the cash. She never told us about it. My son is devastated at her betrayal and theft. We are going to seek help through a lawyer to get the money that is owed. Her personality has changed from this sweet "Christian" woman to a belligerent person who has yet to arrange a payment plan (more than generous offer from my son). We feel she took advantage of my son's grief from losing the woman he loved and his father. I do NOT recommend her. I don't trust her. I hope she reads this and realizes that we are going to seek the courts to get this settled. I don't want her to get away with stealing people's property, selling it and keeping the cash.

I got a check for 123.00. My mother had a professionally built ironing board with lights and an expensive iron built into the wall behind a mirror. I told Carie several times it was to remain intact to be sold with the house, plus I taped the mirror shut. The iron was missing after the sale. It was not about the money. It was my mother and dad's things. Do not use this business.

Short summary: Kathy at Valley Properties Southern Oregon, LLC is an incredibly lazy landlord and time after time was negligent in fixing or providing habitable conditions for me and my roommates. There are other reviews online that suggest that this is an ongoing issue that other previous tenants have had too. Full Explanation: From January 2014 to December 2017 (four years), I exercised good habits and reasonable care in my tenancy at 349 Oregon Terrace Medford, OR 97504, a rental property that is managed by Valley Properties Southern Oregon LLC, it's registered agent, Kathleen Herod, and the rental property's owners, Robert & Linda Johnson. On March 13, 2017, I gave notice to Kathy, our landlord, that the rental property's water heater was no longer working and that it was failing to produce hot water. Though they had the water heater inspected two times, they were negligent to fix or replace the water heater until finally on December 4, 2017, over nine months later, a new unit was purchased and installed. The landlords ignored the recommendations by the inspectors to have the water heater replaced, not just because it wasn't performing to standards, but also because the water heater was leaning, a dangerous issue that if not fixed is known to cause potential harm to tenants and others. The landlords continued their negligence by not following their responsibilities to follow Oregon's Landlord/Tenant laws that require landlords to provide habitable conditions, even after multiple notices were given to them. As a result of their negligence, I suffered damages because I continued to pay them the agreed upon rental rate as written in the month to month contract even though the value of the rental unit was drastically diminished. Hot water serves emotional and physical needs, such as, hot showers, ability to wash clothes and dishes, and many other typical and reasonable activities. Oregon Landlord/Tenant laws require hot water to be substantially provided to all Oregon tenants. Eight months into this situation, on October 11, 2017, I tried to reduce further damages done to me by the landlords by giving them notice that Oregon law requires them to provide hot water and that if not fixed or replaced in a reasonable time that I could began withholding rent (all within the legal right afforded to tenants). The landlords then retaliated against me by serving a "60 Day No-Reason Notice to Vacate" after I made these complaints in good faith. This is very much illegal to do; a landlord cannot act in retaliation to any good faith complaint. Because the landlord acted in retaliation, the law allows me to remedies provided in ORS 90.375 which states that tenants "may terminate the rental agreement and recover an amount up to two months' periodic rent or twice the actual damages sustained by the tenant, whichever is greater. If the rental agreement is terminated the landlord shall return all security deposits and prepaid rent recoverable under ORS 90.300. The tenant need not terminate the rental agreement, obtain injunctive relief or recover possession to recover damages under this section." I moved out December 27, 2017, in following with the "No-Reason Notice to Vacate." I will update this review after the court proceeding are completed. I will be defending against the landlord and owners lawsuit that I failed to pay rent. Throughout this situation, they have not taken any ownership of any wrongdoing on their end even after multiple attempts to work this out amicably. I will be counter-suing them for the damages done in overpaying in rent for a diminished rental value and for retaliatory conduct. My advice to anyone that is thinking of renting from this company, PROTECT YOURSELF AND STAY AWAY! They are an unethical and negligent company who are on the border of completing total fraudulent activity. Please keep in mind, that this is just one of many major situations that occurred during my four year tenancy with this management company. There are multiple other instances where they were negligent. I have emails from Kathy that prove all of the statements made in this review.

If you're looking for the best real estate agent in Southern Oregon--especially if you're buying an…read moreinvestment property or multifamily real estate--look no further than Elle Powell. I've worked with a lot of professionals over the years, and Elle is one of the most impressive advocates I've had on my side. She helped me search for and evaluate dozens of multifamily investment properties throughout Southern Oregon. We wrote multiple offers before finding the right opportunity, and through every step of the process she remained patient, strategic, and completely focused on helping me make the right decision--not just closing a sale. What sets Elle apart is that she is never pushy. Instead of trying to steer me toward a purchase, she consistently provided balanced, honest, and pragmatic advice. She wasn't afraid to point out potential issues or tell me when she thought a property wasn't the right fit, even if it meant more work for her. That level of integrity is rare. When it came time to negotiate, Elle was absolutely relentless. She is a fierce advocate for her clients, incredibly sharp in negotiations, and knows exactly when to push and when to be strategic. She's fast, responsive, exceptionally detail-oriented, and always seemed several steps ahead throughout the transaction. Having someone this knowledgeable and cunning representing your interests gives you a tremendous advantage. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, a seasoned real estate investor, or looking to purchase multifamily or commercial investment property in Southern Oregon, I can't recommend Elle highly enough. Her market knowledge, work ethic, professionalism, communication, and commitment to her clients are second to none. The best compliment I can give is this: when you're negotiating and the stakes are high, you want Elle Powell sitting on your side of the table. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again and will recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding real estate agent in Southern Oregon.
