I just closed the sale on my father's house near Roseburg. My realtor for this was Aric Ott of the Mary Gilbert Group, and I can't say enough good things about his efforts. We (my brothers and I) first made contact with Aric in late 2025, as we had made the decision to sell the house after our father had passed away. Even though we had no plans to list until early summer or so, Aric became involved right away and generated a market value report, suggested some ideas to put a nice 'shine' on the house, and what to do and expect in the meantime prior to listing. Bear in mind that Dad's house was not a high-end property or anything fancy - it was a simple, clean, solid rambler in an older subdivision. Nonetheless, Aric treated the process - and us - like we were selling a lakefront mansion. In addition to the limitations of marketing a smaller, older home, neither myself nor my brothers live near Roseburg, so 95% of our transactions were done by phone or e-mail. In spite of this added complexity, Aric remained professional, responsive and creative, and really demonstrated a thorough knowledge and understanding of the Roseburg area market. When we went to a live listing in June, the market had a lot of inventory, so we expected a long, dry summer. What do you know - we got an offer the first day! After a couple of weeks of negotiations, multiple cross-country phone calls and emails and texts with my brothers and with Aric, we reached terms with the buyer and sealed the deal. Thanks to Aric's efforts, diligence and intuition, we got the right buyer at the right time. I know we weren't his only active client at the time, yet he treated us like we were. The entire time Aric remained positive and upbeat - but always honest, logical and straightforward. Sometimes we needed to hear things we didn't want to hear, and Aric was able to convey those realities in a calming and productive manner. All in all, a great job by Aric Ott and the team at Mary Gilbert Group!

Deidre was always proactive to be sure i knew what was happening and what her recommendations were. She was very knowledgeable about the market and ways to make my home the most presentable it could be. Linda and I selected Deidre because she had done such a great job working with us a few years ago when we bought this property. We were not disappointed. She is a fantastic agent and I will use her again in the future

Deidre knows the market in all surrounding areas and came in ready to sell. I would recommend Deidre and her team to anyone looking to sell their property.

Deidre has been the best Realtor that we have ever worked with! She thinks ahead, keeps in touch with us and lets us know what is going on. She has helped at every obstacle and has helped work us through any complications. Buying and/or selling a home can be very stressful and it has been such a relief to have a Realtor like Deidre! She deserves accolades of all of the help she has been to us!!

Another deal gone great!! 😊 Deidre definitely knows her stuff!. Her attention to details and knowledge about real estate puts her far above the competition. Awesome job little lady! Want someone who cares about you and your deal, someone who will fight for you! Deidre’s your gal!!!

Let us just say that in all ways they far exceeded our expectations. I can’t imagine our experience being any better! In particular we have to call out the way Deidre Jovin handled the project of getting us into our new home. From the first time she reached out to us to inquire about our intentions in early 2024, to the long tour she gave us of many houses, and then on to her suggesting the new-home build possibility on the 429 Fairway lot. She was always diligent in getting answers to our many questions. Her vast knowledge of the step by step process and real estate legalities made us much less anxious about this challenging endeavor. We were very impressed with the sheer amount of time Deidre gave us in accompanying us to the various places we had to go, such as flooring and cabinet vendors etc. She was always there to advise and hold our hands through these very unfamiliar procedures. All in all we can’t say enough about Deidre’s competence and dedication to helping us in this challenge of buying a home from a distant location. She suggested using Tabor as the builder and we are very happy with the job they did, but Deidre was a great liaison for us to have in communicating our questions and concerns to Tabor. We are very happy with the efficiency and seamless nature of the transaction. And we know that comes from the parts of your organization that we never see, so thanks to them. And thank you for the wonderful gift basket that actually had so many useful items in it! Ok, need to get back to worrying about my new responsibility, a lawn! We are still living in San Francisco so that has to be done from a distance. If there’s any more questions about our experience, please feel free to reach out. Thanks again for helping us build our new home!

I VERY HIGHLY recommend Deidra. She is so personable and also so sweet and kind. She TRULY goes ABOVE & BEYOND expectations for ALL her clients. She was so easy to work with and made my experience selling my house so easy. She is extremely knowledgeable and takes time to explain everything step by step. With every interaction she made me feel like I was her top priority and only client, ( and I know she is a very busy girl) she never rushed through anything. She was on top of things the entire time, her communication was impressive. She did what she said she would, called when she said she would etc. I'm so thankful for her and her team. I could NOT have asked for a better experience selling my home.

Deidre was a fantastic partner in the house selling process. She worked to get the first week of showings lined up quickly and was very communicative about what we would need to do for successful showings. We ended up getting an offer within 6 days of listing, which was astounding. She coached and guided us through the closing process, and though we had a few snags on addressing some inspection issues, she was tireless in making sure that everything was handled and we got fully squared away for the sale. We'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their house in the area and deeply appreciate the time she put into getting our house sold!

DEIDRE IS THE BEST. SHE KNOWS THE MARKET AND THE AREA. SHE WAS PATIENT AND SUPPORTIVE DEALING WITH DIVORCED COUPLE TRYING TO SELL THEIR HOME. SHE WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IN UNDERSTANDABLE TERMS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Once again, Deirdre was able to not only effectively market, but, most importantly, get my house sold quickly. Her advice along the way really helped us to better consider the desires of potential buyers. Her understanding of the market and vast portfolio of prior clients really helped get as many eyes on our home as possible. Thank you again, Deidre!

Deidre was a pleasure to work with. She handled the sale of my house professionally and responded quickly whenever I had questions.

We enjoyed working with Deidre. She was very professional and on her game. She went beyond her duties when she came out to write an offer on a Sunday. She really knew her stuff when it came to real estate! Michelle
