This connection goes beyond the professionalism that most realtors exhibit. This connection is built on the principles founded in just being a genuine human being. Our realtor, Lisa Gilbert went beyond the fundamentals and connected with both of us right off. Her cheerful smile, attention to our input and feedback, time management, and having the genetics to be a purveyor of solutions and results impressed both of us. While a Broker may measure a realtor by their sales performance, for us, feeling like we us just spent a day with a close member of our family was what convinced us both Lisa was our Special (Real Estate) Agent. Lisa stayed up with us as weeks turned into months as we looked through online home listings and walked us through each home we short listed. In the end, we did find a home online and Lisa went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable throughout the purchase process. Because of Lisa, we now own an absolutely awesome home in Sisters. Thank you Lisa! Best Realtor ever.  Cathy Nygren

Our agent at the time, advised that we would need to get "Pre-Approved" prior to submitting any offers and suggested that we speak with her "Ace" mortgage advisor. I explained that our tax returns were complicated do to the nature of our employment and I was assured that she was the best and not to worry! After speaking with her and supplying the endless supply of necessary information and waiting almost two weeks .... we were told that we simply did not qualify for a home. After the shock and disappointment dissipated .... we started our own (non agent referral) search for a qualified mortgage advisor. I searched for several weeks and after many interviews we decided to try Jim at NorthWest Mortgage Advisors. We found Jim and his team to be EXTREMELY efficient, kind, knowledgeable and honest. After meeting with Jim and his team, they proceeded to walk us thru the entire process. They quickly processed our tax returns, required documentation and within days they were able to get an in-depth understanding of our income and expenses that allowed them to provide us with the required Pre-Approval letter. Simply put, they spent the time to go thru our tax returns to get an understanding that would allow them to find a loan product that would fit our needs. Jim was able to get us a fixed, extremely low rate & conventional loan that our needs. He and his team (Joyce & Mandi) are licensed in CA and OR and we will be using his services from this point forward ... they are the wonderful and we are thankful for their assistance! If you are searching for a company and advisor that will go the distance to get you the best possible loan product and interest rate ... then Jim at NorthWest Mortgage Advisors is your best choice hans down!

I've been working with Sonja for the last two years and cannot say enough about her level of…read moreservice. She truly is one of a kind and the most dedicated realtor I have ever worked with. I realized this after I moved out of state and was so frustrated with the level of service I received by other realtors. Here's our story of how we bought and sold with Sonja. I called Sonja off a sign two years ago while looking for our home in Bend. I had already met a few other realtors but not settled on anyone. Sonja was already very well established and still made us feel like her first priority. She was sending me properties and responding to all the properties I saw immediately. She got us in homes quickly and was always there with us. We found the home we loved and realized during inspection it was a money pit and the sellers were not willing to compensate. She sat with me while I cried and gave the realtor who jerked us around a piece of her mind. At that point we were four weeks from being homeless and no prospective houses were on the market. I was ready to sign a year lease when I saw a home pop up, sent it to Sonja, and she met us there within 30 minutes. We put an offer in an hour later and she secured us the house out of 7 other offers (ours was not the highest). She knew I liked to know all the details and kept me informed during every stage of escrow. When it was time to sign and my husband was out of town moving all our possessions she watched my young children, gave them toys and fed them donuts so I could read and sign the contracts . We got in the house in three weeks and escrow went incredibly smooth. After we were in the home Sonja sent us recommendations or service workers and helped us get settled. She sent us house warming presents, included us in client appreciation parties and constantly checked in on me and my family. She truly cares and her actions after the sale prove it. Two years later my husband got a job offer we couldn't refuse in the Midwest. Sonja helped us list our home within a week and a half of finding out we were leaving. The market is crazy and we got many offers. Sonja helped us weed through them and pick the buyers with the best package to end in a smooth closing. We had to move before our home closed. Sonja was meeting with contractors to get things fixed, taking out the garbage and checking on our home every day. Her service didn't end there. A realtor we were working with in Michigan showed his true colors by trying to pressure us into a sale that we knew wasn't right. I was so frustrated when Sonja called to check in. I gave her a rundown and she then proceeds to call her Michigan contacts for a good realtor, interviews these people, and sends us a list of realtors she thinks will work well for us. I'm still just floored. Currently we are in escrow for a home with realtors Sonja helped us find. They got the job done but don't hold a candle to her level of service... I'm not sure she set a fair bar for others. Sonja is true service. She loves her job and cares for her clients. I seriously cannot recommend her enough, I've sent friends to her and they all had similar experiences. She is a treasure!
