Windermere Willamette Valley - Corvallis

"Windermere Realty has a wonderful property management component that is professional, friendly, and highly competent. Any problem is attended to promptly and efficiently. This company tries to save people from excessive costs, yet provides high quality service. I highly recommend this company for any real estate need."

"Our agent has helped us purchase two homes, and if we ever need to buy or sell we will gladly use her again. She was very responsive to our needs and wants and went above and beyond to make the experience a good and fair one for all parties. Buying a home is a stressful and emotional experience and she helped us through it with professionalism and compassion. Would highly recommend Windermere Willamette Valley."

"My wife and I wanted to sell our home by owner, as we had done three times previously, but a friend who happened to be a realtor for Windermere persuaded us that we should go with them for the best market reach and highest selling price. What a huge mistake. From the get-go, our realtor was a bad communicator, was error prone, and showed poor judgment. For example, she brought her husband, who was recovering from open-heart surgery, to the first showing of our home. For the second showing she told us the prospective buyers had cancelled, and next thing we knew they were in our driveway with their realtor, expecting a showing. So we showed our own home. When we asked the owner of the local Windermere office to let us switch realtors, he gave us a guy who wasn't much better. He often seemed to be working for the prospective buyers, not us. And once when we met at his office, he couldn't get his printer to work so we could sign documents. Fed up with all the incompetence, we requested that Windermere's commission be reduced from 6% to 5%, but the owner denied our request because, he said, we had sold our home for more than the asking price ($17,000 more, in a market where other homes were selling for up to $100,000 over asking), and that we should just be happy with that. When I pointed out to him that our home had sold as a result of a Facebook post I had put up, he replied that it didn't matter how it sold, because Windermere was the contracted selling agent. So our decision to hire this incompetent, unscrupulous, greedy company cost us $27,000 in real estate commissions for what turned out to be a miserable experience. Never again!"

"My husband and I had planned on selling our home "By Owner." We were pressured by a friend who worked for Windermere to go with her. When we did, she behaved extremely unprofessional at every turn. We never got the flyers in our box and it was a rural property. Many people came by but had no way to get information without calling the agent, which left her completely in control. She brought her husband who was less than one month out from open heart surgery, to the viewing, without telling us. She messed up appointments so buyers showed up when she told us they had cancelled, leaving us to show the house. We felt competitive bidding was not encouraged and showings were discouraged by the lack of flyers at the street. WE had people want to see the house, and when we referred to agent, never heard from them again. We were discouraged from countering at the higher amount that we wanted to counter offer on our first offer. The whole process became an unprofessional, non-competitive mess, with the realtor ensuring a lower sale price, fewer viewers, and less competition through failing to follow through on promised advertising. Our voiced complaints fell on deaf ears. Steve, the owner of the company, didn't call us back when we insisted on renegotiating the commission. A hard time made harder by this real estate company. Don't use them."

"Windermere Property Management team made our search and stay in south Corvallis a wonderful experience. I cannot Thank them enough. My college bound daughter enjoyed off campus life near the Willamette Park and the pets loved the spacious backyard. We had a wonderful three bedroom home because Windermere took time to focus on our needs and found the perfect place for us to rent. I certainly do give them a five star rating."
