HORRIBLE TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE My amazing father has dementia…read moreand my family is dealing with the many challenges that come with this disease including the loss of his drivers license and the decision that he can no longer care for himself. It was time to sell his home and he would move to a place where meals are provided and other care that he needs is available. Mind you my parents have only purchased 2 homes in their lifetime and still reside in my childhood home. They are not savvy or knowledgeable about anything related to selling a house. I was ultimately referred to the realtor's broker Melina who contacted me about my requests for fliers and/or a QR code and using social media to promote the house and specifically that in the walkable neighborhood of Englewood where my dad's house is located is a great way to inform people about my dad's remodeled and quaint home. I was told that fliers, social media and other suggestions for advertising were NOT within the advertising agreement that my dad signed with my mom present. They are responsible for signing the agreement but they also didn't know that for the agent/broker commission that all they would essentially receive is staging for a tiny 2 bed 1 bath home, pictures of the property and an open house (neighbors by invitation) the open house was self serving as a way to meet new potential clients and let looky Lou's snoop around the house. I was appalled and shocked no hustle, no strategy whatsoever to make this house move quickly. I believe the house had been on the market for not even 2 weeks and when Melina the owner of this company spoke with me she was a NIGHTMARE think Devil Wears Prada Linda Wintour kind of pompous, rude and condescending. I was hurt, felt disrespected and very upset by her actions and how she treated me. It led to a total breakdown in trust and confidence in her and her agent. I'm not sure if she had even the slightest twinge of care about my family and caregivers fatigue from caring for a family member. Selling his house included the dismantling of my dads home, belongings and it's a painful experience for him and our family. Hiring a realtor and a broker is supposed to take the responsibility and stress away from the family turning it over to "professionals" who happily collect commission and that is when we decided this was not a safe or honorable place to place our trust. The worst part is that I informed Melina owner/broker that my dad didn't have a copy of his signed contract nor did my mother. The broker said that it must be in a box from his move....ummm....No. Electronic email is standard for sending a contract. I did speak to Melina/owner-broker again and I was hoping for a chance to move forward and unfortunately I was again met with a communication style that was abrupt, harsh and her goal is about winning and being right instead of seeking to understand and find common ground. On the complete opposite spectrum our agent remained positive, kind, caring and compassionate. I highly recommend her and hope she's able to find a brokerage firm that matches her energy and professionalism. We appreciate her dedication to our family.

If you are even considering buying a home in Salem/Keizer, I need to tell you a story about an…read moreamazing woman and realtor - Melina Tomson. My Mom recently passed away from brain cancer. It was my job to "handle her affairs", one of which was to sell her home. We interviewed several people based on YELP reviews. We chose Melina to sell Mom's home. We had NO IDEA what a good choice we made. She staged the house just beautifully. Within days we got our first offer. But there were problems on the horizon. Essentially, my Mom's home (which looked beautiful) had a fair amount of deferred maintenance. Here's what we faced 1) sunken oil tank, 2) old roof, 3) heater air-conditioning needed to be replaced, 4) water main to the street needed to be replaced, 5) electrical panel needed to be replaced. That, combined with clouds on the title and some other "issues" meant that we had two "failed sales". Through all of this Melina was "as cool as a cucumber". She always had the answers. More than that - she always knew exactly the right person to call in to help. And, since she's worked with all these contractors before, she was able to get them to do the work with the expectation they would get paid at closing. She did all this with a super positive attitude. The house sold in a fairly short period of time considering the challenges. I don't live in the Salem/Keizer area so there is just no way we could have done this without Melina's finesse, knowledge, and hard work. If you are considering buying or selling a home in the Salem/Keizer market, your first move should be to pick up the phone and call Melina. I'm not a huge referral person, but I would take a phone call from anyone that has any questions. Melina is a rock star! Thanks! You are a friend of the family...

April Rains was our Realtor. My husband and I highly reccomend her! When searching for a home to…read morebuy in the Salem and surrounding areas, she went above and beyond to assist us in our search. Our search began even before our move from Tucson, Arizona. She listened to our criteria of what we were looking for in a home. she sent us listings that were existing homes, building lots, as well as listings for homes to be built. She checked on Properties and got us information that was needed to help with our decisions. She would keep us informed through email and also did live video chats on the properties we were were interested in. Finally we found a new construction home we were interested in that wasn't built yet, so she went to an open house that the builder was doing of a home that had been completed in a new subdivision that had lots available to build on with choice of floor plans that were customizeable. April did a live video walk through of the house that was the same floor plan as the one we were interested in. She also talked to the Broker that was handling the subdivision and arranged a video chat for us to pick out our colors and upgrades that we wanted in the home. She attended the video chat also. The builder's policy was for our realtor to get a referal fee and their broker would take over. Even though April got only the referral fee, she continued to act as a go between the broker and us and kept us informed throughout the entire process. We really appreciated everything April did for us! Daniel Lawton Salem, Oregon

In the past six years, I completed the sale of two houses I owned in Eugene to good profit, thanks…read moreto the skills and professionalism of agent Ron Bush, a founder of Equinox Real Estate. Dapper Ron went the extra mile in making sure that both houses were fully presentable and that we would get the best possible buyers. Whatever I overlooked, he found and corrected. From start to finish, his advice was pertinent and extremely helpful. Highly recommended.

I asked my Real estate agent if there was any cost to cancel the contract between us…read more Here is my email sent on March 30th at 3:39 pm.​ She had me correspond​ via her private email as she told me her agency email had been, shut down. "Hello, Xxxxx, I hope this message finds you in good spirits. As my financial status is very limited, I might not be able to sell for some time (a couple of years) If I was unable to meet our current contract, such as canceling​, would there be any financial obligation on my side? Raven." Here is her reply April 1st at 9:12 pm.​ Hello Raven, Strictly speaking, since you are not following through with listing and selling within the agreed upon contractual period, you owe the Team $200 for the contractor work and $125 for the professional photography. However, as for what you owe me, I ask you to sit back and reflect upon all of the professional advice, networking, marketing, time, energy and focus that I provided for you since you first contacted me in July. If you consider that it was only 10 hours per month at minimum, how does that add up for you? What am I worth to you? Do I deserve compensation? This is precisely why it is easier to say that I typically get paid when you sell your home. If you are planning to list in the next year or two, great! Let's keep in touch and list when you are ready. If you are planning to try and sell it on your own, then I would like you to really reflect and let me know what you think my services are worth to you. I have appreciated the opportunity to get to know you, and represent you in the attempts to sell your home. I hope to work with you in the future. Cordially yours, ~Xxxxx Xxxxxx~ I needed to ponder, what can I afford. The fraudulent buyer ruined me financially. I had to break the lease on my apartment and take out a loan to move back into my home. I was already reeling from the effects of the stress and trauma from the fraud committed by the buyer. I was depressed and struggling. I needed to consider canceling​ so I could have some space to recover (a year or two). I had decided to ponder what I wanted to do? This may cost me and I might need to not cancel the contract and figure out a way to negotiate for the reposting of my home later. And then I get this email. On April 9th,​ 2019. Good afternoon Raven, After considering your question regarding my fair compensation a little longer I realize it was unfair of me to leave it open ended and ask what I am worth to you. Instead, I will make it a little easier for you, and paraphrase our contractual agreement. I have attached a copy of our contract in case yours is packed in a box somewhere. In the contract you signed on page 2, section 8 under Right to Compensation it states that you shall pay the sum set forth in section 5. Section 5 (on page 1 of the contract) states that you shall pay an amount equal to 6% of the selling price which is $289,900. This applies if the property is sold, or if you cancel the listing during the term of the agreement. Since my commission is 3%, the amount you owe me is $8697 if we go strictly by the contract. However I know that since you chose not to continue to list your home you are stretched for funds. Out of consideration for your position I will only charge you $2174, which is 25% of my actual commission. In addition I will pay the $200 contractor fee and the $125 photographer fee out of the $2174 that you owe me. I fulfilled my part of the contract as far as you allowed me to fulfill it. I marketed your home, advertised it in several formats, brought buyers and offers to your property, and negotiated on your behalf. I counseled you through multiple stressful situations, and over numerous lengthy phone calls. My time, knowledge and abilities are worth more than $2174, and I would still like to help you sell your home. However,​ I understand that you may want to go in a different direction and that's okay. I wish you only the best, and you know what is best for you. I hope to hear from you soon, ~Xxxx Xxxxxx~ I started getting sick to my stomach. However, she may have meant that email to sound, it felt horrible after I read it. I originally signed a contract in later 2018 that stated she would get $500.00 if I canceled​. This was brutal on me! I will NEVER recommend​ this agency!

They have shown up hour late, ask me for the parking pass they're gone for another hour they work approximately half hour then they take an hour break where they leave my apartment and go somewhere. I have had a caregiver show up here saying she wasn't going to do something that didn't need to be done so she didn't vacuum she didn't sleep she didn't mop she didn't disinfect she didn't do the dishes she didn't do anything but take up space. You cannot get a hold of somebody, their phone system they keep saying is messed up and they don't know why but it's been messed up for 2 years now. They have lots of excuses and make lots of promises yet nothing changes.
