A good friend recommended Maui Meyer who had provided excellent service and advice not only in…read morefinding but securing her dream home in White Salmon ahead of other competitive buyers. 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!

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.

Whitney was recommended to us by a good friend. We love her! She was patient, kind, understanding…read moreof our limits in Portland's difficult housing market, and explained the bewildering world of mortgage loans to us (two first time home-buyers) in simple and easy to understand terms. She brought a unique warmth and clarity to the murky world of mortgage lending - something other lenders were not able to do. As we progressed through loan processing, her communication was top notch - checking in with us and our realtor team at every milestone, and cheering us on as we progressed through the approval process. Even after closing, she has continued to check in with us. Our seasoned realtor even remarked that she was especially impressed with Whitney's diligence and attention. Give her a call! She will not let you down.

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 was patient, he was insightful, and he knew the right amount of assistance to give and when to give it. At this point I feel like I know Jorge better than I know most of my friends and vice versa. 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.

I was referred to Becky Schertenleib at Columbia Gorge Real Estate by a friend. I needed someone…read moreto sell my father's home in The Dalles, Oregon. Because I live in Arizona, I wanted someone who would be willing to work with me long distance. Becky went above and beyond to assist me in this long-distance home selling process. I needed someone to maintain my father's yard until the sale. She provided me with several names of companies, and I was able to make arrangements with one of them to assist me. There were several items that needed to be addressed after the completion of the home inspection. Becky notified me of these items. She provided me with the names of and/or contacted providers of the services I needed. She kept me "in the loop" at all times, letting me know where we were each step of the way. Nan worked with the buyers throughout this process. She provided them with the support they needed, especially since they were first-time home buyers. I couldn't have asked for a more professional real estate agent or company to assist me. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.

I was a smaller client than Maui's typical clientele and I felt like a big client. The team is professional and expert - I had great experiences with Chelsea and Cody as well.

Maui was not only a good buyer's agent for me, but incredibly knowledgeable when it came to questions regarding building. HIGHLY recommended! Thank you, Maui.

I have bought and sold many houses in my 81 years and Cody Cornett is the best realtor I've ever…read morehad. He knows the housing market, he immediately understood what we were looking for, he knew every house that was advertised in The Dalles, and was willing to spend many hours with us to find the perfect house. He knows the business side of the process inside and out and was always able to answer our questions. The ability that sets him far above anyone else I've ever worked with is that I truly felt that I was the only person he was working with. When I called, he was almost always available. If he wasn't available, he messaged me to say when he would get back to me AND he always did. When the inspection report was negative, he helped me get past my anger and disappointment. He is always so positive!!! I was so impressed that I asked him to help me sell my house in Portland. Even though that's 90 miles away, he was able to help me get my house on the market with great pictures, the right price and we sold the property very quickly. The buyers were difficult and their realtor was dragging his feet. Cody's people skills made the difference between a happy sale and a lost sale. If I could nominate him for realtor of the century, I would.
