The Best Agent In Bend, Hands Down

We were not the easiest clients. We spent over a year hemming and hawing at different properties. We had a ton of parameters and we felt that all of them were important. The property needed to be in the right part of town, have a yard, get good sun, be able to generate rental income, it goes on and on. Colleen NEVER got upset or tired of us and she stuck with us until the PERFECT home came on the market and then held our hands through a very complicated property line issue that turned into a three-way negotiation between us, the seller, and the neighbor. To say that Colleen is hard working is an understatement. She was constantly on the lookout for us, pulling documents, doing research, calling third-parties to get quotes, I mean even down to the cracks in the sidewalk, she called on our behalf to figure out what it would cost to fix so we could ask for a bigger sellers credit. If you are looking to buy a home or invest, pick Colleen. There is no one better. She is a Bend local, she is an investor, and she deeply understands the objective AND subjective things that can turn a house into a home while still being an excellent investment.

Excellent results, excellent experience, exceptional realtor

Colleen Peterson is truly an exceptional realtor. Colleen sold our duplex in record time. We were doing a 1031 Exchange and there are lots of details with multiple transactions. Colleen communicated promptly and professionally with the realtor for my exchange property in another state and even gave that realtor several key tips to make sure I got a better deal on that transaction and to keep things from derailing. Prior to listing, Colleen gave us excellent direction in how to get the property ready to sell at the maximum price. We took advantage of each suggestion and they were 100% spot on. While other realtors may promise things they cannot deliver, Colleen has a true understanding of where the market is and where it is going. She is realistic, diligent and extremely hard working. Colleen is not afraid to go the extra mile for you and to ensure that any obstacle that comes up is dealt with promptly and in your best interests. We give Colleen 10 out of 5 stars.

Colleen was absolutely unbelievable, she made the experience for us!

Colleen was everything we could have hoped for and more in an agent. As first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions, a lot of anxiety, and a lot of things to learn and she was so helpful every step of the way. She helped us figure out the exact neighborhood and style we want, she was transparent on houses that might have issues or were not a fit, and she walked us through what could be a very stressful experience of buying without a well-equipped agent. She also went so far above and beyond on any questions we had, reaching out to experts to track down answers about the construction of the house on our behalf. She also works with great partner she recommends to make the whole process simple. Cannot recommend her enough!
