This is the third house that Cole Billings has helped us buy. He is far and above the most knowledgeable, competent, personable, and communicative broker with whom we have ever done business! Hayley came on board for this transaction, and she is awesome. They made this transaction so easy and smooth. We'd never use anyone else for our real estate needs. read more

Sam and his team at Varsity were beyond amazing! The care and service we received was top notch. We were new to the area and Sam was great at explaining the differences in the neighborhoods and always being available to show us new potential homes. His advice and knowledge got us into our new home! Once we were in contract, Sam and his team were always explaining the next steps and needs to have a clean and quick close. As well as the steps to have our new home set up with utilities etc. (they provided us an email with the whole list of who we needed to call and set up service with and different internet providers that serviced our area). When we had a question or concern; within the same day I would receive an email or text with the information or the requested phone number. Thank you Sam for an amazing experience and being such an integral part of creating our new home! And again thanks for our housewarming gift! If you are considering moving or selling I would highly recommend working with Sam and his team! read more

Varsity Real Estate - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Bend, Oregon

We engaged Sharon Nyberg at varsity real estate and have never been more impressed with a realtor. She was extraordinary from start to finish. The marketing of our property was at the highest level we've ever seen and is part of the reason the house sold so quickly. We listed the house in October and had an offer in November and closed in November!! we were stunned at how quick it happened. Sharon was on top of every detail and communicated frequently. She also worked with service providers, as there was some additional work to be done on the property before during and after the sale. This is a second home for us and we couldn't always drive over to meet with contractors. Her efforts were remarkable and we could not have been more pleased. We would highly recommend Sharon and we would also work with her again and again. You won't be disappointed. Kathy and Kenny. read more

My wife and I are real estate investors. Varsity was uniquely personal while simultaneously professional. We are beyond impressed with their team communication, knowledge of the local market, and attention to detail. We recommend Varsity for all of your serious real estate transactions in Central Oregon. read more

Very professional. Quickly responds to questions and requests. Takes initiative to solve problems and take it off our full plates as sellers. Very professional and attractive marketing tools. Oversaw repairs and inspections when we could not be there too! Cole Billings, our "super broker"and his team went above and beyond on getting our home prepared for listing, professionally listed and sold in a timely fashion. We couldn't be more impressed and pleased. We highly recommend Varsity Real Estate in Bend, Oregon. read more

Thank you, Jennie Andrews! You are amazing! We are new to Bend and thankfully found Jennie and her team. We think we got the BEST broker in town! DeLay and Billings made our home finding and buying experience smooth and pleasant. Incredible knowledge delivered in the friendliest of ways! Thank you, Jennie and team!! read more

Sam and his team were amazing and so much help as we were first time home buyers. He guided us through not only the purchase of our first home but assuming a loan which was a long ad confusing process but Sam and his team were there throughout the whole process! Thank you guys! read more

This is the second home buying experience with DeLay and Billings. Sam, Jenny and Cole made the entire process smooth, clear and (as much as is possible) stress-free. They also got the best price possible for us. If you're looking for great people who are great communicators (and will go to bat for you) DeLay and Billings is it. read more

Sam and his team at Delay and Billings are an elite group of professionals who are masters of their trade. We've sold multiple homes, in multiple states, with multiple realtors. Sam was by far the best realtor we've ever had. Some of Sam's strong points were communication, networking within the realtor community, pulse of the market which provided expert guidance with price point, and thorough summary and explanation of offers received to aid in full understanding of the offer. We've previously worked with realtors we were satisfied with. But since working with Sam our eyes have been opened to what a smooth and guided experience selling a house can be. Sam is quite literally the best and choosing this team would without doubt exceed your expectations. read more

We really enjoyed working with Cole & the whole team on our recent house purchase. We had very specific requirements and ideas on what we were looking for, and it was a tough market to be buying in. I definitely began to doubt we would find what we needed/were looking for. Cole & Sam both have in depth knowledge of the neighborhoods in Bend, which is a huge asset and the whole team is really efficient and easy to work with. I really appreciated Cole's constant availability, attention to detail and honesty during this whole process. Continually reminding us of our priorities and end goals. We ended up buying a house & a land lot that I was prepared to overlook, based on the upstairs kitchen. It's really not that terrible, the location is dreamy (minutes from all my favorite things in Bend so far) and I now have beautiful mountain views whilst cooking! Thanks Cole :) read more

Cole did a stellar job selling our home during what can only be described as a very difficult time in our lives. He was patient, understanding, kind, and got us an offer and great price in no time. The rest of the team was helpful as well and they all made a tough thing easier to get through. Thanks Delay/Billings Team! read more

Buying a home during the strongest seller's market in recent history (2021), in one of the most popular destinations in the country (Bend) can be a difficult task. Thank goodness, we had Sam Delay on our team as we purchased a new home in Bend. This firm is top notch. Sam was extremely professional, polite, and quick to respond throughout the process. I found myself calling Sam for advice on selling my home in another city (a transaction he was not involved in) because talking to Sam kept me calm, while taking to the agent selling my home made me anxious! Sam's knowledge of the Bend market is deep, from knowing which homebuilders were best, as well as knowing not only neighborhood details, but actually knowing the quality from subdivision to subdivision. His recommendations for contractors, title company, and other services around town (including helping us look for a new church!) were all done with great thoughtfulness and detail. Oh, and let's not forget Sharon Nyberg, who proactively kept us updated every step of the process. You're going to pay the same price for any realtor, so why not go with the firm that gives exemplary, high-touch, customer service. I was referred to Team Delay by a local builder who called them the hardest working realtors in the business, and I certainly believe that statement. read more

My husband and I are first time home buyers, and completely new to the area having spent almost a decade renting in CA. Sam stood out from the first conversation with his expertise, empathy, and understanding of the Bend real estate market. The experience with team DeLay (Sam & Sharon) was a fantastic one, and we were able to close on our dream home in under 2 months from start to finish. I'd highly recommend this team to anyone, especially first time home buyers! read more

Couldn't ask for a better team to buy my first home and then a few years later sell it. Absolute delight to work with and so thankful to have had them during the process. read more

We were looking for a piece of property in Bend. We live in Southern California so it's not easy to just stop by the area and take a look every weekend! So we needed someone who could show us the area and get a lay of the land. Cole not only did that but went above and beyond our expectations. Before we arrived he provided us restaurants and other places to see. They were all spot on!!! When we did arrive he showed us various properties that gave us a flavor of the area and what type of property to focus on. He was a wealth of knowledge throughout the days we were there and frankly just a nice person to hang out with!! We will be building in Caldera Springs and Cole will continue to be our go to guy for all our real estate needs and other fun things to do!! Thanks Cole!!! read more

Kevin and Co. were truly the all star dream team to have in an insanely competitive market. Kevin was so communicative with all parties, which I'm sure helped seal the deal to get our offer accepted above 9 other offers. He went above and beyond in helping the transaction go smoothly and was so informative, funny and kind. As a realtor myself, it's truly so humbling to be on the other side and Kevin made it seamless and as stress free as he could. I could not recommend him more. read more

Single handedly the greatest real estate experience I've ever had. My wife and I have always had good selling experiences in the past. However, when leaving a sale I've always wondered what I might have left on the table. With Sam and Sharon - I never went back to re-evaluate. Their professionalism and general care for my family is incomparable. Their market research is hands down what separates them. The presentation of our homes value, market comparisons and plan of action left no question that they were the team for us. During sale, their resources for inspection and repairs saved us thousands of dollars. Our home sold as the market was dipping in 5 days at asking price. I can't thank them enough for what they've done for us. Plus they're great people! read more

This is now our second experience with Sam and team. Sam was incredible helping us get into our first home five years ago. We literally couldn't have done it without him. Now, our experience selling our beloved first home and purchasing that next upgrade could not have been any easier. The team's expertise and service just made every step so effortless and pleasant. We are very pleased with everything about both transactions and can confidently say this is the absolute best team. read more

Working with Cole and his team was a dream scenario for my husband and I who are very new to Bend. We evaluated several real estate agents and chose to work with Cole who exceeded all of our expectations. His knowledge of the market, communication, patience, and overall approach to helping us find a home was exactly what we needed. He helped us get clear on what we wanted and find the absolute perfect home for us -- truly above and beyond what we could have imagined. We highly recommend. read more

My second experience working with the DeLay/Billings Team was as positive as the first a couple of years ago. Sam, Cole and team helped market and sell my home very quickly (and accomplished most of it while I was traveling). Sharon and team helped me complete the purchase of a new home with great efficiency and attention to every detail. I will definitely turn to them again if the need arises! read more

Team DeLay is incredible. Working with a whole team on the sale of a home is so much better than working with one agent. Each member had different roles in the sale of our home which helped it move along quickly. We were able to get questions answered quickly due to the team aspect. You can tell they have their system worked out. Our house sold for WAY over the asking price and I believe a large part of that is due to their marketing expertise. Pick this team and you will be good to go. read more

We recently purchased a home in Bend. Not having been active in the real estate market for many years, we were so grateful for the professional guidance provided by Cole Billings and his wonderful team. We were well advised every step of the way, beginning with a thoughtful conversation with Cole about what we were looking for and what recent market activity might suggest about our search. His insightful feedback included very useful information about listings, comparative prospects, and guidance regarding offers, including helpful negotiation strategies. Further, he was able to recommend very qualified financial service professionals to assist us with our transaction. All told, we couldn't have asked for more, and we wholeheartedly recommend Cole and his firm, Delay and Billings. read more

The team at DeLay and Billings is truly a step above the rest. We've used them to buy and sell multiple properties and they'll no doubt be our go to realty team in the future if ever needed. Their timely, efficient communication and collaborative, data driven approach to creating and delivering on a strategy put our family at ease and happy with our experience from start to finish. We would confidently recommend Cole, Sam, and their team to anyone looking! read more

We worked with Jenny to purchase our home and had a totally stress-free, enjoyable experience. Jenny was an excellent listener and understood our needs. She was patient, knowledgeable and always willing to spend extra time with us, which as first time home buyers, made us feel very comfortable. Jenny helped us find a home with all of the features on our list in the exact part of town we wanted to lived and helped us negotiate to purchase the home in our budget. We were completely satisfied working with Jenny and highly recommend working with DeLay and Billings. read more

Sam Delay was our agent for buying a home in Bend in 2021. I don't typically praise real estate agents but Sam is the most professional broker I have ever met. His attention to detail and communication throughout our 9 months working together was truly flawless. He always makes you feel comfortable and confident. He absolutely earned his commission. Sharon Nyberg was also supporting us throughout and she too is remarkably good at her job and so kind and genuine. I wouldn't work with another team to buy or sell a home in Bend other than Team Delay. read more

Kevin and Team DeLay made buying my first home so smooth and really helped me understand the process even as I was navigating a super competitive market while buying remotely. Kevin is incredibly responsive and an excellent communicator. He took the time to tour homes with me while I was in town and understand what I was looking for so we could quickly make decisions on offers when I was back in Seattle. Buying a home in this market site unseen is a bit nerve wracking but Kevin helped make it as easy and stress free as possible. read more

Sam, Sharon, and their team did such a great job to make the entire process of selling smooth and easy. They were straight forward with pricing and backed it up with the facts for why. Jenny kept us updated on what needed done/what to do next. They were a pleasure to work with! Kevin has been great on the purchasing side, too :) read more

Cole and the entire team at DeLay & Billings were outstanding partners for us as remote buyers throughout our property search and purchase process. We evaluated all of the most reputable brokers in the Bend market, made an informed decision to work with this team and they exceeded our expectations on all fronts. Their market knowledge, professionalism, negotiation skills, availability and sophisticated project management approach made our buying experience exciting, rewarding and stress free. Highly recommend. read more

My husband and I moved to Bend, Oregon from Louisville, Kentucky just under a year ago. We happened to get connected to Sharon Nyberg with Team DeLay through a recommendation and we couldn't not have asked for a more hard working and professional agent. Sharon was always very helpful and worked above and beyond to help us with any questions or concerns we had about the homes we were looking at. The housing market in Bend is very fast paced, much more so than back in Kentucky and Sharon was with us every step of the way to make sure we were able to find the right home for us. We have been through our share of non-responsive and "lazy" agents, and Sharon was more than a breath of fresh air. She helped make the hectic time of house hunting and purchasing as smooth as can be. I couldn't recommend Sharon from Team DeLay enough to anyone who is in the market to purchase a home in Bend! read more

Team DeLay, the best of the best in real estate! Sam and Sharon helped us navigate a home purchase in Bend. They are professional, honest, and honorable. They listened to what we were looking for and when we had questions were quick to respond. Even though this was the most challenging market we have ever purchased a home in, it was one of the best, most smooth transactions we have experienced. We cannot say enough or recommend Sam and Sharon more. They are trustworthy, responsive, and had our best interest at heart from beginning to end. Thanks to Team DeLay we found a beautiful home. If you are looking to purchase or sell a home, Sam and Sharon certainly will not disappoint. read more

I live in the Portland area and was referred to Kevin Laue to represent me on the purchase of a Bend area home. I've worked with many real estate professionals over the years and I rank Kevin's timeliness and attentiveness as top notch. Furthermore, I was impressed with his strategic advice from the perspective of representing a buyer in a hot seller's market. From virtual and in person showings to quick turnarounds on small requests, he never disappointed. Highly recommend! read more

Sam and team are amazing!! We were moving from out of state and they made it so simple that we felt like it was a move next door. Everything was thought out and all questions were answered. With all of the stressors with moving, working with TeamDeLay was not one of them! read more

Team Delay both helped us purchase our first home and sell it when we were ready. They were amazing to work with for both transactions. Patient and responsive, as well as going the extra mile - when a package accidentally got sent to our old address they offered to send it to us! I was new to the area as well as the home buying and selling process and they always took the time to explain things and answer questions, even if it was the same one I'd asked the day before. Our family found an amazing home which we loved dearly, and then a buyer for it we felt comfortable with. With 2 kids, it makes a difference when these processes go smoothly, and we really appreciated all the work they did to make it so. Great, warm, friendly folks who know what they are doing. I'd definitely recommend them. read more

I have used Team Delay & now the Delay and Billings Team multiple times over the years and continue to come back to them for both buyer and listing side business. Kevin and Jenny helped us this time and their professionalism and customer service are first class. In a tough sellers market they helped us craft a creative and winning offer to get the deal done. Their consistent communication kept us up to speed and on track in an otherwise stressful situation. We highly recommend Delay and Billings Team Real Estate. read more

My husband and I were first-time home buyers, and hiring Sam DeLay and Sharon Nyberg was by far the best decision we made! They were both a pleasure to work with, very knowledgeable about the area and its future growth, and thoroughly walked us through things step by step - not once during the entire process did we ever feel lost or unsure. We never had to call after them or question if things were getting done - they always did what they said they would do, and kept us 100% informed. They had our full confidence! Additionally, anyone they referred us to (inspectors, insurance, etc.) were also great. Sam was honest, hard-working, personable and professional - and always positive! We felt like a priority. He was also patient and truly listened, as we had specific criteria that we were hoping to find in a home. When we did find the perfect one it required fast action, and we truly owe its successful purchase to his advice and negotiation tactics! Even once the COVID-19 pandemic hit in the middle of escrow, he calmly guided us through the extra uncertainty, and we felt even more fortunate to have him. We are now very happy in our new home! It's the best thing we've ever done, and we just absolutely cannot recommend Sam and Sharon enough. We intend to work with them for all of our real estate needs for life! Thank you, Team DeLay! -Jeremy and Alexandra N. read more

Choosing Sam Delay and the entire Team Delay group (Sharon Nyberg, Jenny Andrews, and Kevin Laue) are hands down the best of the best. They are experts at what they do and they make it look easy. Very thorough while being extremely efficient and organized through the whole buy/sell process. We trusted them completely and will always encourage anyone buying or selling a home to use Team Delay. read more

Working with Sam was a wonderful experience. Sam is professional, knowledgeable and responsive. We felt completely taken care of and stress free throughout the whole process. We have and will continue to recommend Sam to all of our friends and family. read more

Eddie and her team are incredible to work with. Ever step of the process was easy and professional. Sam did an incredible job with the video walk through. The Team DeLay booties at the front was the best touch. What thoughtfulness and respect. We will continue to use and refer Eddie and her team. read more

I have worked with Edie and her team on 4 transactions over the past 10 years. Two sales, and two purchases. One involved working with a home we were purchasing which was for sale by owner. Edie went above and beyond, working with the sellers to educate them on the process and bring together a great deal for both sides. Edie has the ability to help you step back from the emotion of buying and selling, but still respects your position and desired end result. On our last sale, we got the pleasure of working with Sam DeLay. Sam represents true professionalism in the industry, and mirrors Edie's values and work ethic. I can't recommend this team enough! read more

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with the DeLay & Billings Team! My husband and I were looking to upgrade our house in Bend, but were feeling super discouraged by how competitive the market has become and knowing a contingent offer wasn't going to be attractive to sellers. Cole had the inside scoop on an off market property that was perfect for us! He and his team managed the whole transaction seamlessly, while expertly timing out the sale of our current house with the completion/close of the new house. There are always so many details to keep track of in transactions like this, but Cole's team guided us through and managed the whole process. I'd give 10 starts if I could! read more
