Very professional. Not having purchased house in 25 years, we were rookies. Andrea helped us through the search and select portion, then negotiation with sellers keeping us informed in a timely manner to final completion.

When I began my search for a home I knew what would make me happy, but I didn't see anything that met those needs. Hilary herman turned out to be just what I needed. She was tireless in her approach to find me a home that met my needs. I served 31 years in the military, and I can be very demanding. Hilary took that to challenge to find me my home. I can say that the home I found was perfect. I am so happy with my home. Hilary is very clear that she works for the buyer. She helped me find a wonderful home inspector, and worked hand in hand with me and USAA. My loan officer with USAA was equally impressed with her professionalism and approach to serve me the buyer. Always know that she listens to everything you say and she finds a way, even when facing improbable odds, to assist you with your home, your choices, and present you with sound information to make your choice. I have purchased 6 homes in the past, but with the assistance of Ms. herman I know I have found the home I will remain in for the future. Know that regardless of the question, Ms. Herman will be honest with you. if she does not know the answer she will tell you, but more importantly she will be aggressive in finding you a response. Thank you Hilary for making me a very happy person!

I am so happy that I chose Doreen Gorans to help me sell my home in Happy Valley. I live out of state so I needed someone who would be willing to handle some of the details I wouldn't be able to - like letting inspectors and contractors in, getting bids for repairs, etc. First and foremost, Doreen is a great communicator. She takes the time upfront to get to know you and understand your goals and limitations. She is very familiar with the area and the current market. She gives you objective information about your house, suggests various options and lets you decide the best course of action. She updates the info as the market changes. Doreen makes the extra effort to contact brokers who have shown the house and gets their feedback. She has been in constant contact with me, keeping me updated every step of the way. Doreen does what it takes to get the house sold. She was willing to go to the property frequently and ensure everything looked as good as possible. She's great at staging - knowing when to put in a few key touches without overdoing it. She went above and beyond, replacing some drapes and lights and even doing minor wall repair. Being an out-of-state seller this meant a lot to me. She did a lot of extra work in arranging for various contractors to come to the house to do repairs. Doreen is a skilled negotiator. She worked tirelessly on my behalf. I feel like I got the best possible price for my house and am very grateful for Doreen's work. I am looking forward to being able to use her services again when I'm ready to buy another house.

We would very highly recommend Hilary to anyone who wants a top performing realtor in their corner. We were in the process of a very tricky 1031 tax exchange when our mortgage company had a snafu with one of their mortgage people leaving. Hilary took this in stride and made sure all paperwork between ourselves, escrow and the underwriters was correct and signed on time. Thanks again Hilary, I am sure you will be assisting us again. Sincerely Judith Hendrix

Hilary was a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive to our questions and worked diligently to find a home that fit our needs. We spent several months searching and she was very patient as we were not in a rush but at the same time anxious as we located properties that looked promising until we ultimately found our second home. We couldn't be happier with the results and with Hilary. We happened upon her by chance as she was the first realtor to respond to a random inquiry while we were looking online with an actual phone call within minutes and met us the following day! We highly recommend her!

- Andrea did a fantastic job helping me purchase my dream retirement home. I found the area of Manzanita after a long search up and down the Washington/Oregon coast. I called from the lawn sign and Andrea zoomed right over to greet me. Living far from the property, she helped me navigate all the confusing real estate tasks. Proactive, patient and responsive to my endless questions.. She's been a great agent. Highly recommended

Erin Lile is a first class real estate broker. She found the house we were looking for and got us into it before it went on the market. Helped us write up the offer and critiqued it. The best part was she offered guidance without being pushy. After the offer was accepted, she "held our hands" all the way through closing - A great experience. We highly recommend her personally and professionally.

Erin was exceptional to work with in the listing of and sale of my house. She was always responsive to my texts and emails. She was supportive and kept me inspired and motivated to complete my listing prep tasks. I appreciate her enthusiasm and her obvious love of her profession. I would heartily recommend Erin to anyone wanting to very quickly sell their house.

Andrea is an excellent, attentive, responsive, knowledgeable realtor who we whole-heartedly recommend. As first-time buyers, we had almost no idea what to expect along the way. We had ideas about what we wanted, but no clue about the coastal market. Now, thanks to Andrea, we have our own house a few blocks from the beach in Seaside, OR. We started with a list of potential houses found on Zillow. Right away, Andrea was able to narrow the list by weeding out problem properties and finding red flags where we would never know to look. She promptly took us on a tour of our top 3 choices, making her way through Seaside summer traffic to meet us. From the start we were impressed how Andrea listened to us and gave us space to process our decisions. She wasn't in our hip pocket, trying to push her ideas on us. Rather, she heard what we said, how we felt, and understood our needs. When we asked for her professional opinion on specific things, she gave reasoned, thoughtful answers that let us go forward with confidence. We found the house we wanted on that first outing and immediately Andrea was on the case. She skillfully navigated the offer / counter-offer / final agreement process and included us every step of the way as it happened. She even got a last-minute adjustment when we found a minor concern in the house inspection. Andrea is a very capable, smart, hard-working realtor. She guided us through unfamiliar territory and landed us a home we love. Her expertise and communication - not only providing answers, but also letting us formulate our own questions and really hearing our concerns - is extraordinary. In a volatile market and uncertain economy, Andrea made our first home-buying experience as enjoyable and painless as possible. After 20 years of renting, we finally have our own house and couldn't be happier.

Hilary guided us through buying our dream beach home! She was very knowledgeable and helpful through the entire process. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home at the coast.

Hilary was a great choice for a realtor all around! We were connected through a mortgage company, that we didn't end up keeping but we did choose to complete the home purchase with Hilary as our realtor. Throughout the entire process Hilary was extremely quick to respond to our questions and was so helpful with everything! She was knowledgeable about the process and we never doubted anything she told us or did. We lived out of state and had difficult schedules which she accommodated with and met us when we were able to come down. She picked us up, drove us to ALL of the houses we looked at, and even bought us some yummy snacks at local shops. Throughout the entire process she answered all of our questions (there were a million) and explained things to us in a way that we were able to understand. We had a few hiccups with the sellers and title company, which she handled promptly and stood up for us. When my husband got down here before i did, and was waiting for the house to close, she even took care of our cat since we had no where to take her. That was definitely not in her job description; but she did it anyway and was a huge help. I can't say enough about Hilary, she was awesome all around!!
