This is not a cavalier suck up feel-good upgrade, they earned it. One example Against all odds they, Carmen the manager, her head repair guy, Ricard, (and the generic handyman dictated by the owner), and an expert HVAC business, persevered to manage the home I'm leasing with excellence and tact. They successfully managed, with minimal cost to the owner, a HVAC failure during a difficult time, in a wildfire smoke and covid nightmare. This as well as respectfully dealing with a distant home owner, who was experiencing more sever local wildfires themselves far away. If an owner is reading this, I recommend using Carmen's excellent connection with the experts to save money by doing the job right. Her tact and diplomacy and well earned respect in the community of repair professionals, present a case study of professionalism. The best thing about the wonderful, beautifully renovated home I'm renting is Carmen's professional management. She took the difficult route of thoroughly and tactfully exhausting all options requested by the owner, in a timely manner, until a speedy thorough repair was done. As a result we beat the next smoke drift by a day and have a comfortable home just as the fall temperature drop is a few days away. The wildfire smoke is in the MERV 13 air filter, not the walls and ceilings as it could have been thanks to her decisive skills. I love this home, and even more appreciate all the service Cherry City Properties has performed.

If I could have given a zero rating on this I would have…read more My property was managed by Karen Maravilla when she was with Fadness Realty. When she split off and started her own company I went with her because she had always taken good care of my fathers home. Fast forward 10 years, Karen who had once taken exceptional care of my property in my absence (for which she was well compensated) let my property deteriorate to point that it was on the verge of becoming a section 8 qualified property. Year after year over the last 10 the home was commanding lower and lower rents than it had previously. When I asked what was wrong with the property she claimed that it was the economy and rental market not the property that was the problem. This year, after smelling a rat in some repair bills that were paid out of the rent proceeds I made some phone calls. After hearing from many friends in The Dalles that Karen was becoming the local slum lord property manager we decided to make a trip to the Dalles. What I found was heartbreaking. She had allowed the paint on the house to deteriorate to the point where bare wood was showing. The main sewer line to continue to clog to the point that it is now requiring $2100.00 worth of work to resolve and could have been completely fixed years ago had I known about it. Allowed a former tenant to install a permanent fence on the property and then allowed them to take the entire fence with them when they moved leaving the front yard landscaping a mess. She also allowed her friends at ServePro of Hood River to mess up the painting on the inside of the house by touching up the entire first floors eggshell finish paint with semi-gloss paint and then lied about it to my husbands face. If you value your property and are an out of area owner DO NOT trust your investment to this woman. I don't know what has happened to her over the years to degrade her sense of honesty and propriety but her reputation absolute crap and apparently after the treatment of my property its clear why.

She didn't waste our time and was fast when it came to the paperwork and communicating. There were a few hiccups along the way, but that wasn't really her fault and if someone was making the process go slower or lying to us (which happened a few times) she called them out on it. She is very helpful still being new to the area and I know I can always count on her if I have a question or need anything. Her assistant was also very helpful when my mom and I came up to do some measurements. It was nice to get someone else's opinion about the schools, the community etc. She has a young child too and was super helpful! When it comes time down the road to see our home we will be using Jenn for sure!

This year I contacted Maui as a potential buyer myself in the Gorge area. His knowledge of the area, pricing, comps, properties, market, and local resources was invaluable and impressive. When we found a home we loved, before negotiations began, Maui did the most amazing thing. Because the seller already had offers on the table, he strategized that the best chance of reaching my goal - getting an accepted offer - would be to incentivize the seller's agent by coming in as an unrepresented buyer. In effect, he sacrificed his commission for me to have a better chance of getting this home. I did get the home and will forever be grateful to him for this generous gesture. Maui's insights and expertise proved valuable throughout my real estate search process. He knows his stuff and it's truly heartening to know there still exist people out there who are honest, caring advocates who act in the best interest of their clients. I can't thank - or recommend - Maui highly enough!

It's big, it's beautiful, and we feel very fortunate to have purchased it. I don't think it would have been possible without Jorge by our side the entire way.

He's definitely invited to our housewarming party. I've never used another real estate agent in my life, but I've met quite a few and Jorge isn't like the rest. He's friendly, he's genuine, and he's a good person. I will probably never do business with another real estate agent in my life.
