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 went above and beyond at every step, always looking for ways to support us and ensure our home was presented in the best possible light. 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.

We had initially requested to see a property that we had found online. In addition to the home we requested to see, she had others set up to show us. The home we requested to see didn't meet our needs... yet, the first home she showed us that she had found for us was exactly it. We've been in our home for a few months now. We love it. She did it. If you want an agent that listens carefully to your wants and needs and matches that to an ideal home, quickly answers questions, and helps you every step of the way... go see her. Now. Don't walk. Run. She'll take care of you. I promise you will be impressed and love the result!

She's incredibly hard working, but also has a very well rounded life, which makes her so fun and interesting to be around. Because she was a school teacher for 10 years, I believe this makes her one of the best Realtors out there. I "know this" because I was a school teacher too, for 9 years, and I know what the teaching experience did for me as a mortgage broker. Chamese knows how to work VERY hard, stay organized, work with all types of people, while enjoying them, problem solve, and prioritize! Chamese and I have been working only a short-time together, but what I have seen her accomplish in just a short-time is impressive. She motivates me to be better, everyday! What an inspiration....I am so excited for our business future together. Kathy Kemper-Green
