Testimonials
Beth Kenney
“Beth worked hard for us and guided us successfully through a crazy-competitive market! Our search lasted many months as our situation and priorities evolved through pandemic and job changes. She listened carefully to our criteria, kept us informed on the market, and was always available when we needed to see a house (or 5) before we lost our chance. I appreciated her advice on pricing and strategy and her willingness to let us decide what we could spend on each particular home. We lost out on a few hot sellers but ended up with a lovely setting and a good investment. I highly recommend Beth as a real estate agent in the Bend area!”
Marci Wolke
“Marci worked her tail off to find us a wonderful home. She steered us clear of some “bad ideas” and got us a great deal on a brand new home. Marci really knows her stuff, has great taste, and will spend the time to make sure you get the right home. Plus, she’s fun to hang around with!”
