Customer Testimonials
"I have been looking for a specific kind of house in specific type of location for about three years with multiple realtors unsuccessfully. I had only emailed Monique two times about some places that didn't fit my loan type but she had already committed me and my needs to memory.
When the house came on the market she immediately called me and I went out, viewed the property and I made an offer that same day. There was some negotiation, and out bidding, but she convinced the buyer to accept my offer, which was less than I would have been willing to pay, but she knew exactly how to play it.
There were a few repairs needed before closing and some that would be needed after I moved in. She made sure that the presale repairs were completed and inspected correctly, and that I was more than adequately compensated for the post sale repairs, and in fact, insisted on the inspections that found them. She really knows houses, and she really covered all the bases!
There are two types of realtors in my experience. The kind that wait for things to happen, and the kind that make things happen. You want someone who makes things happen. You want Monique!
Thanks Monique, you're Awesome!!!!!"

"We had spoke and met with several brokers before meeting Crystal. She was very real and down to earth, not pushy at all. She would call and check in on us and always keep us updated. Very honest about properties and their areas. She worked very hard for us and always returned our calls. She even worked her butt off for us on her birthday! I will most definitely use Crystal again when needed!"

"Faith is a courteous, reliable professional who builds client confidence with good 'listen' skill. From Day 1 to SOLD, an enjoyable experience.
The house was sold AS IS. Two offers came. Selected Buyer who offered $10,000 more than Asked Price. Made two concessions with Buyer.
Faith exudes a sharp business approach.
A top-notch experience from Start to Finish.
Satisfied. Well done."

"Monique went above and beyond my expectations as a first time home buyer. She guided us through the process and made what seemed to be a stressful experience a lot of fun. She held our best interest at heart and made sure that we got the best deal possible and even had the sellers include a few extras that I was not expecting!"
Isaac, Portland, Or (Buyer) Wed, 23 Sep 2020 03:51:11 +1000
"Monique Farinha provided us the same level of service on the purchase of a small land only property as we could have received on a purchase of an expensive lavish home. She was responsive on weekends and even when she was on vacation. Always very detailed knowing the next steps with great follow up. She helped us navigate the purchase of a very difficult Sandy River front property with a hard to reach seller, tricky county zoning issues due to river conservation and floodplain restrictions along with a complicated, protracted and murky title deed process to resolve before closing. Her selection of a professional title company and her relationship with them was also key to success. Honestly, I think a realtor with less integrity than Monique would have passed on helping us early on in favor of an easier/larger commissions with other clients. Monique was a trusted partner in the process looking out for us."
Eddie Dallas, Beaverton OR (Buyer) Thu, 17 Sep 2020 13:31:47 +1000
"Bonnie was recommended to us by friends who had contracted with her to sell their house. We met with her and were immediately impressed with her knowledge and level of professionalism. My brother and I were selling our father's house because we needed the money to continue to pay for his care in a memory care community. She listened to our situation and was very understandable and kind. We felt very confident that she was the right person to choose.
Bonnie did an excellent job of walking us through the entire process; she was always available when we had questions or needed guidance. The house sold in 36 hours for $25,000 over asking and 9 offers! Very pleased!
We utilized the Home Services staff to make recommendations for professionals to do repairs on my father's house, and was very pleased both with Rosie, and with the companies that we used. Also, the buyer was a client of another Berkshire Hathaway agent and he was also very professional and friendly."
Tami Neiger, Gresham (Seller) Thu, 10 Sep 2020 06:41:26 +1000
"We would highly recommend Bonnie Drake.
Bonnie is an excellent communicator. She communicated frequently throughout the process, kept us updated, responded quickly, and readily answered our questions.
She also was an excellent resource. She provided really useful information on services such as contractors, HVAC, siding and yard work. She was able to provide referrals to people she had confidence in and that did quality, dependable work.
Bonnie was pleasant to work with and clearly is a person of integrity.
She made the whole process as easy as could be.
We are grateful for all of her work."

"Bonnie Drake was much more organized in her presentation to us, and very knowledgeable of the area. She recognized the unique aspects of our home, location, and other qualities and pluses about our home. She is very easy to talk to and interested in getting the best price in our market. She is very sincere and you feel very comfortable working with her. She has lots of suggestions to help you prepare to sell your home, and resources available for you. We can’t say enough good about how Bonnie managed our sale and obtained a good, fair price. She was just simply awesome! Thank you Bonnie!

"Bonnie Drake is my go to real estate agent. I have bought and sold multiple homes with her assistance. She is always up to any challenges that come up. This last sale involved 2 home and the purchase of another. Bonnie kept me up to date on what was happening. My family uses her talents in the real estate transactions. You can't find a better agent in Sandy."

"I have now bought 1 and sold 2 properties with Bonnie as my agent.Would not have it any other way.
This was a tough piece of property to sell with easements and other oddities but Bonnie continued to work with me and prospective buyers until she got the deal done.
I couldn't ask for any better. After doing 3 deals with Bonnie over the last 3 1/2 years I consider her to not only be a very trusted business partner but a friend as well. If you find yourself in need of Realty services call Bonny and then you can stand back and let her work her magic."

"Mark is a consummate professional. His character is above reproach. He is kind and genuinely a nice person. We could always rely on Mark to be honest and provide the most suitable advice for our situation. Mark is at the top of his profession. By that I mean his years of experience, knowledge of all aspects of the real estate business, unparalleled work ethic and many more attributes has propelled him to the pinnacle of his profession. He is truly, in our books, One-of-a-Kind.
Mark worked tirelessly for us and was available whenever we needed him even after hours. I would describe Mark’s ability to navigate and produce the best possible results as “Magical”.
I don’t believe our listing was run-of-the-mill. Selling a home with acreage poses its own unique challenges. Mark navigated these challenges with ease and grace providing an outcome that was truly exceptional.
Since we were moving to Colorado, Mark suggested we may want to take advantage of your company’s relocation services in Colorado, which we did. We were paired with an amazing agent by the name of Lynn Pender. She was able within one week to find us the house of our dreams. She was there every step of the way and had an uncanny knack of being able to ascertain my likes and dislikes in a very short period of time. Thanks to Lynn for making our buying experience memorable.
Thank you to both Mark and Lynn for making our selling and buying experience truly memorable."
Cris Watkins, Colorado (Seller) Sat, 22 Aug 2020 06:25:28 +1000
"We had been looking at properties in the area when after connecting on Zillow Monique Farinha came to one that we were reviewing. While the house we were looking at did not meet our needs, Monique stepped right in to assist us with honest assessments as our buyers agent. We were more than a client we were partners.
Monique was there for whatever we needed whenever we needed it.
Our purchase was timely and painless, this was due mostly to Monique and her recommendation of the Lending Agent . They were a wonderful team.
I would STRONGLY recommend Monique Farinha to anyone interested in exploring Real Estate. She is the BEST"
Luann Lundell-Matthews Boring Oregon (Buyer) Sat, 22 Aug 2020 03:12:11 +1000
"Monique Farinha is an incredibly friendly and warm person. She makes herself available to you every step of the way. She also has a keen understanding of the market and was able to understand what type of home I was looking for really quickly. Because she was able to know what type of home I wanted, we didn't waste a ton of time on homes that would be of little interest.
She's very timely and made the whirlwind process of finding a home feel effortless. I would work with her again as she made the whole process of finding a home a delight. She also has a large network of other people in the industry that will make your home purchasing/selling process seamless."
Diane, Portland (Buyer) Wed, 12 Aug 2020 04:50:26 +1000
"I contacted three real estate brokers in the area. Monique Farinha was the quickest to respond with a valuation on the house. She was confident in her assessment. She really knows the market. I have worked with many brokers before and this is one of the best experiences I have had. We will definitely be calling Monique again for real estate services in the area. She is highly recommended. Thank you, Monique!"

"Kristy could not have been more considerate during this entire process! She understood that this was a big move buying my first house and made it very easy. She consistently kept communication regarding new houses on the market, what I was looking for, and how the process went once I finally decided to make an offer. She was always there first thing when I needed help or an understanding. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent for my first home buying experience!"

Mark Wood, Portland (Buyer) Tue, 21 Jul 2020 12:00:28 +1000
"Zillow connected us with Monique and we couldn't be happier with her. She is just amazing. I can't say enough good things about her. This was our 3rd home purchase, our 5th real estate transaction ever, and this was by far the best experience we've ever had with a realtor. Monique is professional, friendly, detail-oriented, quick, and just absolutely great at what she does. She is just off the charts in every way. We couldn't be happier with the service we received from her. She exceeded our expectations in every way."
Tim Taylor, Sandy (Buyer) Thu, 02 Jul 2020 13:30:31 +1000

David & Sandi - Sandy, OR (Buyer) Mon, 29 Jun 2020 02:43:29 +1000
"Jewel Stockli led us through the sales process with consideration and was knowledgeable in all aspects of the sale. Our home was a log home, so the buyer pool was smaller than it would have been with a stick built home. We understood from the launch of the process that it would take a while to find a buyer for our home, and Jewel did a fine job of leading us through the sale. We would definitely recommend her."
Cliff Hellard, Portland (Seller) Thu, 25 Jun 2020 02:56:44 +1000
"I thoroughly trust and respect Mark Shearman. He has done a good job for us repeatedly and we have recommended him several times to friends."

"Very competent and available throughout home purchase process.
Felt Monique had my best interest in mind at all times. Would wholeheartedly recommend Monique to anyone interested in working with a realtor who is professional, articulate, extremely knowledgeable and efficient."
Denise Costa Oregon (Buyer) Mon, 15 Jun 2020 12:20:29 +1000
"I had just fired a broker who talked me into listing the house at an inflated value. When I talked to Steve he told me what I needed to know to sell the house, not what he thought I wanted to hear. The previous broker had 3 showing on the house in two months. Steve had an offer on the house in two weeks. And he was there for me every step of the way until the sale closed.
Steve is an honest realtor in a sea of sharks."
Dennis Degner, Coos Bay, Oregon (Seller) Sat, 13 Jun 2020 03:45:15 +1000
"Jewel was professional, and attentive to our sale. Chicago title was fair.
In the end we were satisfied with all, and the goal achieved. We'll see with the next ;property sale which is the prime property and much more valuable.
As an architect we know the value, and she knows the market, and we can say that she put forth the land information well."
robert Hicks tucson,az (Seller) Thu, 04 Jun 2020 04:50:14 +1000
"Robert was professional and on top of all aspects of this sale. He also was good to bounce ideas off of and provided reasonable options as well as responses to offers. I relied on his analysis of the pro and cons of offers and helped negotiate us to a mutually acceptable outcome. No hype, just solid performance."

Paul Wilkinson. Clackamas (Seller) Tue, 05 May 2020 04:08:21 +1000
"We have called this home purchase our "forever house" for years, and were very particular when selecting a realtor to help us find the perfect one. We plan on never moving again. Honestly, rates and prices were of little concern to us, we prioritized personality and trustworthiness. We want to raise our children in this home. One of the main reasons we chose Crystal is that she was so animated and kind-hearted, she loves animals as much as we do and was wonderful with our children and pets. It's the little things - like when she would treat us to coffee on cold mornings or select child-friendly meeting places to go over paperwork. On long drives, we'd have to stop for potty breaks and buy our toddler snacks and drinks. She was so flexible and compassionate and blended right in as an additional member of our little family. We look forward to recommending her in the future."
Kylie and Andrew Stoddard, Sandy OR (Buyer) Tue, 05 May 2020 03:08:42 +1000
"I would recommend mark for any type of real state deal, he is the best out there as far as i am concerned."
Steve, Tygh Valley OR (Seller) Sun, 19 Apr 2020 00:00:14 +1000
"Mark was excellent to work with -- very professional and high integrity. Appropriate level, clarity and timeliness of communication. Very steady emotional disposition.
Given I live in Colorado I was not able to address some aspects of preparing the home in the sales process which would otherwise be an owner responsibility. Mark was very gracious in handling those items on my behalf. I'm grateful for Mark's willingness to step in on my behalf."
Jeff Sahr Littleton, CO (Seller) Sat, 11 Apr 2020 02:42:14 +1000

Just so glad it got expedited during these crisis health of our nation times
She was really with the program no messing around, no wasting time,
She made it pretty stress free"

"I went into the home-buying process very apprehensive, having heard many unsettling stories from others of their buying experiences. However, meeting with Karen she immediately made me feel at ease and comfortable. I could tell she was knowledgeable and hard working and was the type of person to go above and beyond. She immediately got to work and with her diligence, attention to detail and assistance, the process went considerably faster than I ever expected. She helped find my children and I the perfect new home. I will always be grateful to her for all of her help, patience and kindness."

"Selling a home with Bonnie Drake as my agent made the whole process less stressful. She was able to provide helpful suggestions, encouragement and a cheerful outlook I appreciated so very much. Bonnie knows the market, the area, and what needs to be done to successfully sell your home. I strongly recommend her if you are looking to sell your house. Bonnie provides a high level of service I had never experienced previously in selling 5 other homes over 30 years throughout the NW."
Kim Zimmerman, Sandy (Seller) Sun, 12 Jan 2020 04:33:43 +1000
"Karen was amazing through the entire home buying process! As first time home buyers we really took our time looking for the perfect home for us and she was patient and understanding. Even though our search was long she checked in regularly and never gave up in helping find the one. 10/10 you should use Karen to buy or sell your home!!"
Miranda & Zach Gresham, OR (Buyer) Fri, 20 Dec 2019 14:07:18 +1000
"Bonnie is very professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate. She answered all questions and prepared us for the selling process. We have bought and sold 4 houses for a total of 8 transactions and Bonnie is the BEST realtor we have ever dealt with."
Judy Nebeker, Oregon (Seller) Tue, 26 Nov 2019 16:47:58 +1000
"My wife and I met Bonnie when we stopped at an Open House she was holding and even tho it was not the house we were looking for both of us were impressed with how Bonnie presented the house. She protected the home and its contents while not being too obvious. When my wife and I got back in our car we decided to hire her to find our dream house, which she did. We told her exactly what we wanted and she showed us many homes until we found the one. When it came time to sell some properties Bonnie was our only call and it sure feels good to have her taking care of the business end.
My wife and I think of Bonnie as not just our Realtor but a friend we can call and keep in touch with even when we don't have current business deals in the works.
We have done 2 deals with Bonnie and have at least 1 or possible as many as 3 more in the future. In this crazy and fast spinning world it is so refreshing to work with someone like Bonnie who has rock solid old fashioned values, who has your back, and is honest and as ethical as the day is long. It means the world to me to be able to toss her the keys to your kingdom and know it's in good hands."
Jim Stiles (Seller) Wed, 20 Nov 2019 17:00:34 +1000
"Karen rocked it! She played the bidding war well and had awesome inexpensive suggestions to get the property ready to show. $60k over asking was a dream come true!"

"Monique was fantastic to work with on our effort to find a home on the mountain. She is extremely responsive and seems to work 24x7 so always responded to our questions immediately. She did such a great job finding us our house to purchase and negotiating the transaction, we've asked her to help us sell our land that we own."
Brad & Ray (Buyer) Wed, 06 Nov 2019 04:02:41 +1000
"Give her a call: She can put a marketing campaign together which you are not going to believe. She has been in the business for awhile and so she knows a lot of other people which she can help use to sell your home."

Bonnie was exceptional!!!"
Marge Pingel Welches, Oregon 97067 (Seller) Wed, 16 Oct 2019 03:45:15 +1000
"I was a first time buyer on a slim budget with very specific requirements for a home. These requirements were extremely hard to satisfy in my price range. Monique Farinha went above and beyond in helping me find the right home, and get it bought and paid for in a timely fashion. Monique is ALWAYS easy to get in touch with, and she is extremely polite and professional. She was very knowledgeable with every topic I had questions about. Monique made the home buying process a breeze. There is one downfall, however, and that is the fact that when she retires, I will NEVER be able to find a better agent than her!"
Pat Manuel, Cascade Locks, OR (Buyer) Fri, 04 Oct 2019 04:02:31 +1000
"Lindsey is the best agent I have ever dealt with! She listens and understands what it is about a property that I need and then finds it. She never tries to "sell it" with a pitch. Instead she finds what I want and it sells itself. She is always available. She is a calming presence. Lindsey is down to earth, reliable, honest, diligent beyond measure. She's 5 star because I can't find a way to give her more. Lindsey is the only agent I will work with and the only one I would recommend."
Marilyn Comber, Rhododendron Or (Buyer) Tue, 01 Oct 2019 03:21:03 +1000

"Joe was amazing to work with. He was very easy to relate to, and has extensive about the market and home renovation. He was so helpful to work with during the home buying process. Couldn’t recommend a realtor more highly."
Josh Howeth, Gresham, OR (Buyer) Thu, 19 Sep 2019 06:25:34 +1000
"When it came time to buy a new home, we knew that we wanted a broker that was familiar with the area in which we wanted to purchase. Crystal Bacon lived in the area and her insight was invaluable. She knew which roads were busy or might be used as shortcuts, and how long driving times were to schools and other important locations. We also knew that we would be spending a lot of time with the broker that we picked. It was important that we feel comfortable with them. Crystal is incredibly smart, organized, and gets shit done... but she’s also friendly and easy to get along with. We appreciated her direct approach in the interview, which held true throughout the time we were house shopping. Her perseverance combined with her friendly demeanor helped us get in to view several homes that were not quite ready to be shown yet. We had very specific criteria for our new home, and Crystal was patient and honest throughout the process. Her background in construction was handy as we looked at older homes and considered remodeling. We absolutely made the right decision in choosing Crystal!"
Ellie Purvis, Damascus (Buyer) Wed, 18 Sep 2019 13:53:44 +1000
"Can’t thank you enough for putting up with our craziness sometimes. We are very happy that you were able to help us buy this land when it’s long distant. I hope to never sell a home again but if we do we’ll definitely call you. Thank you for all your hard work."
Kenneth and Jill Wharton (Buyer) Fri, 13 Sep 2019 04:12:21 +1000
"Monique did an exceptional job for us. She is extremely knowledgeable of the area and was always available helpful.
I will recommend Monique to our friends and families."
Kristy Creed, Welches (Buyer) Wed, 04 Sep 2019 02:40:50 +1000
"I was appointed personal representative of my parents' estate, and contacted Janice Lundy to help us market the property. There were many challenges, including the fact that I live nearly 300 miles from the property. At the time we began showings, a family member was still living there, and the property was full of items accumulated over 80 years of ownership. There were problems with the water system as well. Janice did a fantastic job of representing our interests and helped us with many things that I considered well out of the scope of a real estate agent. She not only found contractors for the well work, but checked in with them at the property as the work was being done. She was my eyes and ears when I couldn't be there. And she knocked it out of the park in terms of marketing the property, and keeping me apprised of every showing, and any obstacles in our way. If communication with your agent, and attention to detail are important to you, Janice Lundy should be your agent!"
Brian Wood, Medford (Seller) Sat, 31 Aug 2019 03:41:23 +1000
"Lindsey is thorough, kind, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. She will work hard to help you buy or sell your home and will make the process smooth and enjoyable. We very highly recommend her!"

"I first met Monique through a direct mail piece. She understood my homes market area. I was well satisfied with her handling of my sale. When I was ready to purchase another home I wouldn't have considered anyone else.
The other staff were very professional. They were prompt and well informed when showing us properties. I appreciated their patience and understanding."

"When it came time to sell a property I owned in Washington I knew there was one person for the job, Crystal Bacon. She has sold a property in Oregon for me the prior year and in doing so had made a difficult situation go smoothly. The entire process was done long distance as I had moved over 1,000 miles away just prior to listing the house. This resulted in more work for Crystal but she never mentioned it. She just did what needed to be done to get me the most for my investment. Crystal is everything you will ever need or want in a realtor. I wouldn’t hire anyone else."
Judith Parker, Vancouver (Seller) Sat, 10 Aug 2019 05:11:19 +1000
"We interviewed several realtors but ultimately chose Crystal Bacon for several reasons. Most importantly, Crystal was very knowledgeable and had excellent answers and detailed explanations for all of our questions. She wasn’t pushy, like some (ok, many) of the realtors that tried to get our business. We appreciated that she was realistic with what we could accomplish before putting the house on the market and gave us goals, but didn’t insist that we lose our minds replacing fixtures and appliances. Lastly, she was down to earth and we liked her personality... fairly important if you’re going to spend a lot of time working with someone. We did not regret this choice. Crystal was always available to us by text or phone. She got contracts to us right away and coordinated inspections seamlessly. Crystal helped us sell our home easily and quickly. We look forward to continuing to work with her on buying a new home as well!"

"Crystal is really professional with us. You will never feel she pushy with selling a house. Crystal has a lot of patience with us. She showed us countless of houses until we found this one. She is amazing! Can't find our house without her."
Xinyi Olson (Buyer) Wed, 07 Aug 2019 09:58:30 +1000

From sending lists of homes in our preferred area, offering professional advice, negotiation selling price, and being present for our final signing, we felt we were in great hands! We couldn't be more thankful to have Monique and feel confident anyone else would feel the same way."

Always timely, very dependable , and was able to get me so much information and keep my mind at ease during the entire process. She and her assistant were an absolute pleasure to work with and helped me from start to finish on finding and closing on our dream home! Thank you!"

"Monique is amazing!!! I had helped her with some inspections in the past with my company, she was always quick and thorough with everything! She was awesome from beginning to end! She even helped us find better lenders that couldn't get their acts together. She was also patient as well when things didn't always go as planned! I would recommend Monique to anyone looking for a representative!!
Jessie is an amazing assistant! She was always so fun and awesome to be around!"
Samantha & Jerad Spencer, Estacada OR (Buyer) Fri, 14 Jun 2019 08:47:16 +1000
"Monique represented me as a buyer's agent, and was with me 100% start to finish. She was always very responsive during my search, and, more importantly, during the negotiations, inspections and closing. Previous buyers' agents I've worked with were hesitant to negotiate on price; Monique was realistically aggressive on negotiating, and got me a better deal than I expected. She also was very helpful on the repair addendum, requesting repairs I might not have considered, which helped me get a house that is move-in ready. I will happily reccommend Monique to friends and family."
Steve, Portland (Buyer) Thu, 06 Jun 2019 03:47:27 +1000
"Monique is an Excellent Agent!!!
She is not the norm, but rather top of the line in Communication, Knowledge and Professional Ability.
She helped us sell the house for a price that worked for us and the buyer and we are very grateful for her service & dedication. Well done, we have already recommended Monique to family & friends..."
Daniel & Mariya (Seller) Thu, 06 Jun 2019 03:42:21 +1000
"This was our first time selling a home and we couldn't have asked for a better agent than Joe Rodman. He was thorough, paying attention to every detail and explaining things clearly and carefully. His knowledge of legal issues, market strategy, building and construction, and much more was outstanding, far beyond what we would expect from a real estate agent. And he was patient with all our questions, friendly, and trustworthy through the whole process."

"Berkshire Hathaway is fortunate to have such a top-notch agent as Jan. She quickly sold my home where my prior agent did very little and did not succeed. She is creative, an excellent communicator, kept me informed almost daily, always followed through (e.g., sending docs for signature/return) on a timely basis, and most important, she thoroughly understand Oregon real estate laws/rules and ensured I understood why she made certain suggestions to me so that I would be compliant in my home sell. I would rate Jan 100% excellent and would use her again if needed."
Renee Kemnitz, Estacada (Seller) Wed, 15 May 2019 00:19:23 +1000

You were always there when we had questions. You helped us find the program to be able to ultimately purchase or home. We can't say thank you enough!!!"
