When Colleen took over our account everything started to move very quickly. Over the next 30 days Colleen became more than our agent, she became our advocate while negotiating everything under the sun with the buyer's agent as well as the seller's agent on the home we were purchasing. Colleen also had a calming charm while we were spinning with anxiety. Her knowledge, experience and overall demeaner helped us through this emotional rollercoaster. And at the end ... we have the Perfect House! I would recommend Colleen Benson to anyone in the Willamette Valley looking to buy/sell!
Colleen and her team have always been there to advise, research, negotiate and close on our land and home transactions. We have used her as buyers agent and listing agent. Always TOP NOTCH!!
Kathy Metzler was great to work with and we would highly recommend her! From getting us access to the property, getting our offer submitted and reviewed to helping with finding the local utility and other contractors, she was very helpful. She also helped us after closing when we accidentally hit a waterline.
Jennifer Price is simply OUTSTANDING! She is a shining example of customer service combined with local knowledge. Jennifer provides a calming voice and guides her client through the entire process. Our daughter, Kate, referred Jennifer to us, and we were impressed with her professionalism and how she listened to us. This move is a huge change for us as retired grandparents moving to be closer to our 4 grandchildren. Jennifer Price is truly in the right place and the right job. Thank you, Jennifer!
Truly, I wish I could give 7 stars for Krystalynn Kemp and the whole Benson Broker Group team. This is the second time we’ve worked with them to sell a home and purchase a home, and we knew after the last time in 2019 when the time came to do it again we’d be calling them. I can’t express how impressed and thankful we are for their consistent excellence this second time around. There is an amazing culture with their group and Krystalynn exemplified it; *available* *responsive* *savvy* *professional* *connected* *understanding* are some of the words that come to mind. I felt like we were her only client but I know we absolutely were not. We had a number of complexities and challenges to both our sale and our purchase and like magic she quickly found or negotiated solutions each time…amazing. She helped us get multiple offers above our asking price and negotiated a better deal on our purchase…we had an accepted offer within 5 days of listing our home thanks to wise and engaged marketing…we feel 100% we got every bit of value for the commission we paid. This is all completely consistent with our 2019 experience. Thank you Krystalynn, Jennifer, Colleen, Judith and the entire team at Benson Broker Group…we don’t know when it will be, but rest assured we’ll be calling you the next time we need your services!
A surprisingly quick and smooth process. No stress,I feel both parties Buying and Selling were treated fairly , Everything was straight forward and above board.
As a senior citizen purchasing a home for the 1st time, I was paired with the perfect agent. Desiree Hikes was patient and eased my anxiety about making a home purchase. Once she found the perfect place, there was a bidding war and much correspondence with the sellers agent. Desiree is a talented professional that fights for her clients. I love my home and completely pleased with my real estate agent.
Kathy Metzler was an absolute angel during this entire process. We came in without the knowledge of buying a house and sh helped make it easy for us. She went out of her way consistently for us to ensure we found the perfect home for our family. I can't recommend her more!
Colleen's team did an excellent job guiding us through the purchase of our second home. This included having to negotiate repairs as well as change in the purchase price.
A very professional and helpful agent, listens to your request and question carefully then respond quickly! I really enjoyed working with her and the whole team. Would recommend to anyone.
