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.

Throughout the experience, Carrie was steady, responsive, and deeply committed.

She did everything she could to help us find a buyer for our home. We always felt we were in capable and trustworthy hands. Carrie genuinely cares about her clients and brings both professionalism and heart to her work. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an agent who will go out of her way to do the very best for you.

This house wasn't meant to be - but I absolutely know she will find us the right place - and I have zero reservations listing our current house with her. She's got great instincts, incredibly smart, and is a fabulous resource and human.

The second day we were there the smoke detectors went off warn us that they needed batteries. I called the Bennington office and in less than an hour our problem was fixed! Best of all we had to leave early on our last day and I left my bank bag with over $500.00 cash in it beside the bed in the small dresser.When we go home and everything unpacked no money bag.I sent a text that next morning to the housecleaning crew and asked them to check and see if was there. I left them all my information and they called me and said it was there and they put it in the mail for me. I offered them $100.00 to buy some pizzas for the crew and they said they appreciated the offer but couldn't do that. My happiness is all they needed. It is so heart felt to know there are still honest people in America. Our next trip down there I will look the crew ! Thank you for your honesty. jon Jennings
