5-Star Review of Coldwell Banker Bain of Lake Oswego

The best of the best…highly recommend working with Deserie for any of your real estate needs. Relocating to Oregon from out of state is an overwhelming and daunting experience. My husband and I were referred to Deserie by our former realtor and we could not have been happier with our experience. She made our transition to finding our new home a smooth and (dare I say) fun process! First, she is a beautiful person inside out- she has the natural ability to connect with others. We genuinely enjoyed the time we spent with Deserie- it was apparent how important it was for her to get to know us and our needs when considering to purchase a home. We were impressed with the seamless nuanced communication she exhibited with all the parties that encompass the purchasing of a home -from the seller’s agent, our lender, to the home inspection company for example. While professional and friendly, she was a firm advocate for our best interest. We trusted her professional opinions and suggestions. She was a fair and assertive negotiator when it came to concessions we asked for from sellers. In addition, she was so patient with us and all our questions. She made herself available anytime we needed further explanation on something- just a phone call, text or email away. Specifically, there are many facets of buying a home in Oregon that are different than other states, especially the home maintenance that we were not aware of. Deserie recommended additional inspections that we did not consider outside initial home inspection such as tank, sewer and Radon testing. This benefited us significantly because one the inspections didn’t pass and we were able to have sellers repair before we closed. Moreover, Deserie took the time to discuss and provide resources for caring for our home long term. She continues to be available to us as a support and resource. We cannot recommend Deserie and Coldwell Banker Bain enough, truly the best of the best!!
