The Sams team is the best. Rick and Abby are accommodating,…read morecommunicative, and take pains to deliver on whatever request you make. They know the Newport (and the surrounding) area, and they both have a keen eye for detail. Rick's background in construction contracting means he has fantastic insights into potential issues or explanations for house features, while Abbie's attention to detail means she is a fountain of observations and attentive listening. They will attend to your wish list of house features, but they also pay attention to you during walk-through, and they will remind you of everything you said to ensure you don't talk yourself into a house you weren't actually excited about -- or talk yourself OUT of a house you actually loved. Even when we faced possible hiccups sorting our loan out, the Sams still managed to work with our lender and get everything we needed squared away before closing. Home-buying is stressful, deeply personal, and challenging even when you are familiar with the area, much more so when moving to a new area, as we were. Rick and Abbie made us feel welcome, guided us through the essentials to acquaint us with the neighborhoods, and ultimately got us into our actual dream home. We genuinely couldn't be happier to work with them, and would enthusiastically recommend them for anyone buying a home in Lincoln County, Oregon. If you aren't satisfied after working with Sams Realty, I'm not sure you can be pleased at all.

They followed up hours later with an "Ok, my day is pretty full tomorrow I was trying to squeeze it in on short notice, because I'd love to help. Any chance you'd have time this evening? Otherwise I can try to connect you with another agent." To which I replied that I would be open to another agent. And they then offered a zoom where I would be walked thru virtually the day after I left town. Questioning Zillow's vetting of realtors and Sam's Realty of their integrity. First rule of good business: don't agree to something if you cannot do it. Looking forward to buying a half million dollar property with someone else. I'm sure they might be great, but unfortunately I will never know.

I bought a house that the Martek was the seller agent. after a lot of back and forth I thought I…read morewas the lucky the winner ..... NOT. the house has structural issues, was infested with mice and rats among bats... too much to list but let me just say the real estate agent and the seller had knowledge of all this but did not put it on their discloser or sayanything. I pissed cause I pay attention to this details cause you would think people would be honest. This is my experience and my opinion but if they were tricky in this what else are they being tricky about? Im just pissed off. I will try and find out if i have any way of doing anything legal about it but I would not recommend Sonia at Martek seems that she's just greedy for money doesn't have good ethics.

Thank goodness i found Kellen Tardaewether at Waldport Realty! I wanted to buy a house on the coast…read moreand had specific criteria in mind. I called Kellen based on a friend's recommendation after he had visited five other realty offices and didn't feel he was given proper consideration. When I mentioned I wanted to visit the coast he immediately recommended Kellen. She arranged for me to see multiple homes and drove with me for three days visiting all the homes, getting to know my style and personality and found homes that not only matched my criteria but also matched my personality. In the end I found the perfect home in Depoe Bay and have Kellen to thank. She went out of her way to help me and also has a great eye for detail.If you are looking for the perfect realtor who will not only listen to you but also look out for you then look no further. Kellen is sharp, smart as a tack, interested in what you want and will help you navigate the coast. Thumbs up and five stars for Kellen at Waldport Realty!!! Maryjane Schram

My buyers agent called him the day before to arrange my inspection, but the next day two hours before my appointment Mr. Spulnik called my buyers agent to say he had already arranged a full price offer.

And he owns Waldport Realty.

Tammy was great at explaining the differences between the offers and what that meant for us.

First, Katy is a valuable employee for OOV. She was on top of everything in the reservation process…read moreand helpful when things went sideways. We arrived after 4:00pm, as instructed. The lockbox was empty - no key. I phoned the office in Yachats and left a message. No response. I called ten minutes later and left another message. No response. I seriously have to pee by this time after our 3 hour drive. It was also getting chilly and the website said the office closed at 5:00pm. Both of my calls were made before that. I remembered I had corresponded with Katy and located the email. I called her number and she answered right away. I explained the sitch and she said the manager just saw the message and was on his way from home to the office to get the spare key. She estimated about ten minutes and he'd be at the rental. Here's where it gets strange. About 25 mins later, the manager shows up, exits his car, didn't introduce himself, tells us the key is probably sitting inside, and has a screw driver in his hand. "No spare key?" I ask. "No, but I have a solution." He then starts to try to Jimmy the door lock. I'm thinking 2 things: 1. So we'll be in a house without a lockable front door? 2. How does one Jimmy a deadbolt? Fatigue, bladder rebellion, and chillier winds made me say, "I don't think that's going to work and you're going to ruin your door. We'll just take a refund and find a motel in Newport. He pulls a set of keys out of his pocket and says there's a rental just down the road we could use. And it's a better one. Ok, I always appreciate it when a person tries to make things right. The driveway into the property had multiple mud holes and going in I bottomed my car a bunch of times. We had to maneuver those holes every time we went out and came back. The house was bigger. We could use the hot tub, but the original rental didn't have one so none of us had bathing suits. The house was clean but it seemed it hadn't been readied for guests. There were few towels and 5 of us (in a house that was for 8) almost ran out of toilet paper. The table cloth had recent juice stains on(we just took it off), and the dishwasher was full of clean dishes. We unloaded so we could use it. I know people have bad days and things can go haywire. What concerned me in this experience was: - no response to my calls before closing time - no spare key - a screw driver to Jimmy a lock and a dead bolt? - having to ask for a refund to trigger the offer of the other place - not aware of readiness status of the place offered Hopefully this was a Murphy's Law one off crazy day. If not, OOV needs improvement.
