    The purchase and/or sale of a home is one of the biggest financial transaction most of us make in…read moreour lifetime...It can be a very stressful and arduous process that can be very painstaking to say the very least... Hector made this process for my wife and I relatively simple and stress free...He was very professional in the way he guided us through the process. Being that he was raised in the surrounding Salem area, his general knowledge help guide us to specific areas. With his previous work experience in the building industry, he provided us with expert knowledge of materials and craftsmanship, that only a few Realtors would be able to provide. Most importantly, he was very patient with us throughout this Real Estate transaction...he was never pushy and provided the both of us with the necessary information to make sound decisions... With the transaction finalized, my wife & I would definitely recommend Hector for any of your Real Estate transactions in the Central Willamette Valley area... On a whim. we chose Hector because of his humorous John L Scott webpage photo...We now consider him a great friend...

For the following 6 months we were impressed by Hector's knowledge and connections over and over. We were not easy clients being older with all that comes with it! Number one on our list was a single story home with some space. Elbow room plus storage for our 10 Tons of possessions! This we got and more! This was to be our final home, hopefully and Hector in the following months educated us about things we had no idea about, like sewers and water rights. We saw so many houses we lost track of how many but through it all Hector patiently guided us through it! Hector is so knowledgeable about so many things, from windows to roofs! Being local to the area Hector knew people and assisted us getting inspectors, negotiated repairs and even got us a mountain of firewood to get us through the winter in our new home. Throughout the entire process Hector assisted and guided us. Thank you Hector for your excellence and professionalism. We love our forever home and it even has a river running through it!

    Brenda was actually not our first realtor. The first showed up at our door with an interested buyer…read moreat a time when we weren't ready to sell, but was polite and kept in occasional contact for months until we were. My wife had mentioned to the gentleman that it would be nice to be able to sell to the buyer they had and not to have to put the house on the market, but at no point did the realtor suggest that it may not be in our best interests monetarily to sell without putting the house on the market. When it came time to sign the contract retaining the realtor, I had a couple of days before fallen and would later find out fractured two of my ribs. I was in a lot of pain and not exactly thinking clearly, but the realtor made my wife and I feel pressured to sign on the spot before going to urgent care that day. We were also shown a CMA that estimated the value of our house more than 15% below what it would ultimately sell for, but "coincidently" was the amount the buyer they had was willing to pay. The relationship quickly soured and after a couple of weeks of back and forth which included the realtor's very condescending superior telling us she had worked on the CMA and our house was actually worth even less and that they had valued it generously, they finally let us out of the exclusivity contract. I only bring that all that up in our review because working with her was an absolute night and day difference. At no point was she ever pushy like the other realtor or condescending like his superior, and she just had a trustworthy vibe that the previous realtor, although polite, did not. Brenda came and took a look at our house, worked up a far more comprehensive CMA that came in much higher than the other realtor's CMA, and after having some other members of her team come take a look at the house actually suggested we price it even higher than the CMA indicated. We were a little bit nervous that maybe things had swung too far in the opposite direction and we were asking too much in the current housing market, but it turned out Brenda and her team had nailed it. The house went up on the market, we had a few showings, and offers came in very quickly; several which were quite a bit higher even than the already raised asking price. We went with an offer that wouldn't close for a couple of months thinking it would give us plenty of time to find a new house to move in to. During this time, Brenda's colleague Leslie was our buyer's agent. We were using the internet to find homes we were interested in, so we didn't need that part of her services but still wanted an experienced agent to help make sure everything went smoothly and it turned out we would have been in big trouble without her! In the process of finding the house we would buy, Leslie drove well out of her (as far as I can tell from a quick web search at least) normal service area on at least one, maybe two different occasions to view houses with us. She never complained or even mentioned that she usually doesn't go out that far. We settled on a new construction house that required non-refundable earnest money. We had no reason at the time to think that there would be any problems, but just three days before closing the person buying our house backed out with no warning and by then the other offers were no longer on the table. It was obviously not Brenda's fault, but we were absolutely crushed because we couldn't imagine getting such good offers again, especially since we would have to sell very quickly to close on the house we wanted to buy. On top of that, we would lose the earnest money. Brenda and Leslie sprang into action, with Leslie managing a very busy open house and convincing the notoriously inflexible new construction company to agree to push back the closing date not just once, but twice, and Brenda lining up several private showings in a very, very short time frame. Once again, we had several offers above asking price. In the end, we came out with almost just as much as the initial offer that had fallen through and were able to get the house we wanted. Throughout the entire messy process, both Brenda and Leslie were very patient with our constant questions and always got back to us very quickly even on weekends and at times we would not have expected such quick replies. They went above and beyond and treated us like family in a way that may have been more common decades ago but seems very rare these days, and their supportiveness and quick action really got us through the period where it felt like everything was falling apart. I honestly can't think of adequate words to express how grateful we are and can only hope that this review will bring some business their way because they deserve as much as they can handle.

    Leslie was amazing to work with start to finish! She helped us craft competitive offers, even in…read morethe heat of the 2021 housing market, and eventually land our dream home in far less time than we expected it to take.
