It was Amy Thompson’s five-star rating and standing as Eugene’s No. 1 agent that first got our attention when we began the search for a real estate agent. We were also very impressed by her values which shone throughout her website. She also answered her phone immediately and arranged to meet with us the very next day. She was warm, friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about what she could do for us while at the same time saying that she was a realist and would always be honest with us and pull no punches about prices, properties, or the market. It would take a while, she said, to find what we were looking for, especially in January when we started working with her, but she was confident that if we were patient, together we’d find the right home for us. In person, on the phone, and via her frequent helpful e-mails and texts, Amy was true to her word and a pleasure to work with. She was consistently responsive, always there with the encouraging word, and when the day came when our perfect home came on the market, we heard about it from her that very day, saw it the next, and, with her guidance and spot-on timing, put in an offer within hours which was accepted the next morning very much because of her keen instincts, experience, and knowledge. She was there for us every step of the way through the inspections, negotiated repairs, rounds of signatures, and final closing, even a last-minute cleaning that was needed. As Amy told me once, she loves people and she loves her work. It shows in every dealing with her. Amy Thompson is one in a million, perhaps a billion, and choosing her to help us in such a huge, life-changing process was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. --Karen & Mike Peacock
