She has an immense amount of knowledge in her line of work yet is incredibly humble and down to earth. She is direct in her feelings about the decision making process for home buying and *always* does what is best for her client. As a result, it allowed me to have a strong level of trust with her during the entire process. Her thoughtfulness was very refreshing and she regularly reached out to see how I was doing, demonstrating how much she cares for the people she is working with. I will gladly recommend her to anyone I know who is considering purchasing or selling a home.

I called around yesterday to different locksmiths in the area to have the lock box cut off. I spoke…read moreto a man who had experience with lock boxes and he told me that there is a law that a realtor has to claim their lock box in a timely manner or I am within my right to cut it off. Not only that but that their license can be suspended by the Oregon real estate board if they don't come and claim their box. I wrote an email to Amy and Deli and let them know about the information I had found out. This morning, someone came and picked up the box and gave me my key back. SWEET SUCCESS!!!! Deli actually got a "thank you" out of me this morning for FINALLY finishing this stupid situation. I will still be filing a complaint with the Oregon real estate board because I don't think anyone should be treated the way my husband and I were treated.

She knows her market extremely well; she is diligent, responsive, and very patient. Amy is very professional and personable. She clearly takes pride in doing a good job. Amy took the time to explain every part of the legal paperwork required in a real estate transaction. She knew the contracts and addendums like the back of her hand. She explained the legalese in a concise yet thorough manner. The experience at each phase of the sales effort was superior, such as innovative marketing efforts, useful insights on staging my home, effective showings and proactive facilitation during the sale negotiations. My transaction was a challenge due to a lazy buyer's agent. Amy handled this situation with professionalism and poise. She successfully facilitated the completion of all the necessary tasks in a timely manner. Another challenge was that my house was a difficult-to-finance older manufactured home. Yet my house sold within 40 days of listing, and for almost the full asking price. They accepted the house in as-is condition! Amy is the epitome of professionalism and knowledge. It has been a real pleasure to work with her.

We just closed the easiest home sale we have ever experienced with ByOwnerOregon. We called and…read moretalked extensively with Greg prior to listing, about the various packages and decided on the one that best fit our needs. Greg was very knowledgeable, easy to get in touch with, and patient with all our questions. We chose the package that gave us a custom sign and a professional wooden sign hanger. The forms to initiate the listing took 15-20 minutes to fill out and were very detailed. Plan to spend some time thinking about the information you use in the listing forms. We made sure we had excellent, well lit, photos of our home to add to the listing, and used the description to ensure the features we felt were the best selling points of the home were highlighted. We printed high quality flyers to have in the sign box and available for those who came through for showings. In addition, we had our house inspected by an independent inspector, at our own expense, prior to listing, to ensure the home had no issues that we were not aware of. We fixed the items in the inspection and presented it to potential buyers if they expressed serious interest. I believe this helped everyone feel more comfortable that there wouldn't be surprises later on. We listed and put the house on Craigslist on a Tuesday, had our first showing hours later, and by Saturday were in a multiple offer bidding war. We ended up accepting an offer for $15k over asking, with no realtor commission. We used the form on the website for the purchase agreement, and Lawyers title to close the transaction. Smooth sailing all the way. If you don't mind showing your home yourself, and we didn't, as it gave us the opportunity to show potential buyers the features of our property, then this is the way to go. We would do it again exactly the same way, and are highly satisfied with the result.

We hired Greg for a FULL SERVICE package to sell our home on the coast. The service he provided us…read morewas NOT what he advertises on his web page. Not even close. NO CMA! no tracking or follow through when the house wasn't selling, no advise on how to lower price or strategies to move it, took 4 request just to get a sign from him then he charges you for postage. He had No knowledge of the coast market and did not update our listing to reflect he was providing " supposedly" full representation so local agents ignored us. We paid him upfront and he was MIA for a majority of our 3 months in his service. He left his office to go a road trip and was out of cell range without notice, and did not return emails, texts or voice mails for several days. (During the work week. He is somehow supposed to provide full service and not work on weekends.) It was a time sensitive matter and we needed his assistance. When we finally reached him he put us off for another 3 days but promised to follow thru at the end of those 3 days. He did not. We called again left multiple messages. When he responded he said he hadn't done it but would that day. NOTHING! When he called the next day he was defensive, angry, and belligerent. It was a total waste of time and money. No apologies just screaming. He's lack of professionalism was disturbing and offensive. You cannot leave a review on his portal to counter the positive ones because he blocks you from doing so. Only good reviews get on. You get what you pay for. Unless you are in a great sellers market and need absolutely nothing from him except to upload your MLS... go elsewhere and save your frustration, time and money.

I would give less than one star if I could. This company charged us over $1200 in closing to review…read moreand record title, yet couldn't do the one thing they are being paid to do - follow the contract! They left our home warranty off closing docs (a highly egregious error) and did not include it in our closing sales docs or want to acknowledge they even made a mistake. They then unilaterally withheld it from our proceeds, without any signed documentation from us. When owners and buyers pay a title company to do one specific thing - ensure all parties get what is noted in the contract, it's expected that they do their job and yet this company failed to do the one thing they are hired to do - be the neutral 3rd party who reviews and follows our contact and all agreed on terms. It was all a rush job and one we have no fault in! Our realtor was the one who pointed out their mistake. And when we mentioned the error - they professed there wasn't any error and they did not include the warranty because they didn't get an invoice from our realtor...essentially throwing him under the bus! They then proceeded to ensue that we would have to pay the $500 warranty because it was in our contract. Yet - they didn't include it in our closing docs simply because (according to them) they didn't get an invoice. I said you do NOT need an invoice to include all the contractual agreement warrants- as THAT is typically the job of a title company and what we are paying for! There was a lot of highly u professional back and forth through email with the manager and escrow assistant (who were both contradicting each other and obviously not all on the same page). I included a few emails on this review, that were exchanged with the manager - which contradict how any title company should do business! We were never arguing about the warranty being included - if it's in the contract, that should be what's warranted on the closing docs! It is not dependent on an invoice received after our closing docs are signed around! What burns us the most is that not once did they acknowledge their error and offer to rectify to make up for their error or even call us to smooth things over. They obviously do not care about clients. We are speaking to our lawyers about it all, as we do NOT feel $1200 is warranted if a company can't even do a simple thing like ensure everything contractual is noted from Closing papers. Honestly, just a simple acknowledgment and offer to reimburse funds paid (consumer laws dictate that we should get what we pay for) would have been proper business etiquette, but this company had no respect for us clients - wether it's owners, buyers or realtors - and it shows! I would NOT recommend doing business with such a shady and unprofessional company! We will Never again sign with First American!
