We
are a family Bend Real Estate brokerage, not a huge,
corporate franchise filled with people who may or may not
have a real stake in the success of the business. No, we
ARE our business, we walk it and talk it, we have built it
from scratch to become very successful, and we mean to keep
it that way. We don't compete against each other as is the
case in larger offices, but instead we cooperate with and
assist each other, filling in for each other when one has a
prior commitment, and offering advice and opinions to each
other's clients, thereby giving you access to more than one
Bend Realtor’s opinion. Try that in another Bend Real
Estate office, and see how quickly your Bend Real Estate
Agent spirits you away from his or her
competitor!
MEET
TOM!
CRS,
ABR, GRI, J.D.
Tom
is a retired Oregon Attorney, judge, and former CEO of a
multi-state corporation who, with Linda, has 38 years
experience in buying and selling properties in Oregon,
Nevada, California, and Arizona--including homes, ranches,
commercial and industrial properties, businesses, forest
lands, and unimproved lands.
Tom’s legal background and his business experience assist
the team in asking the right questions, and looking for
issues, before they become issues. Together with Linda, he
serves the team as principal broker. Ask him his opinion on
your Bend home purchase and you will get the absolute
truth, whether you like it or not!
MEET
LINDA!
CRS,
ABR, GRI, CSP
Linda
is a people person, active in the community, and a
dedicated networker. Linda is great at connecting her
clients and is often able to help them find the right job,
volunteer opportunity, or recreational activity.
Relationships and client’s needs are first and foremost.
Linda is fluent in Spanish.
Linda's organizational and problem skills have been
polished during her years as a teacher, bookkeeper, owner
of her own business, and escrow secretary.
Active in both Bend Real Estate and Greater Central Oregon
Real Estate since 1992, Linda has also served on Boards of
Directors for numerous organizations, including the
Women’s
Resource Center of Central Oregon (WRCCO), American
Association of University Women, Network of Entrepreneurial
Women, and Cascade Festival of Music.
MEET THOM
BA,
MENSA, Phi Beta Kappa, Assoc. CRS
Tom
and Linda's oldest son was born on the Oregon Coast, but
moved to Las Vegas, Nevada at the age of four, where he
lived until he was 14. Moving to Redding, California, he
later attended the University of California at San Diego,
before returning to Oregon at the age of 20, and finishing
his degree at the University of Oregon.
He is a Mensan, has written several novels (some available
here), and worked in the furniture sales industry where he
was the number one salesperson at both stores where he was
employed, after running his own business since college.
Most recently, he was the Bend Events Organizer for the
Obama Campaign office in the primary.
He has lived in Bend since 1990, and as a great outdoor
recreation buff, knows the ins and outs of the area's best
spots. An avid mountain biker, hiker, backpacker, boater,
wakeboarder, surfer, waterskier, and mountaineer, he is
happy to live and work in a place that fits all of those
pursuits, but loves to travel internationally to sunny,
southern climes in the winter. He is very happily married,
has three school age children and lives on Bend's Westside.
Thom lives to help people who don't think they can buy a
Bend home do just that, and he is experienced in short,
bank owned, and traditional sales. Honesty and realism are
hallmarks of his writing and his personal life philosophy.
Expect absolute honesty, and NO B.S. from Thom.
He speaks Spanish and Russian, and wants to bring more
inclusivity into the often exclusive Bend Real Estate
market.
