10/11/2023 - bejhawk Bought a Townhouse home in 2023 in Summit West, Bend, OR. If I could give more than 5 stars, Molly Jo would get it. I lived out of state before I bought in Bend, so I couldn't view the houses that were on the market. Sure, I looked online and saw photos of the interiors and yards. But Molly Jo did an outstanding job of helping me get to know the different neighborhoods. I had a checklist of what I wanted: 3BD, 2BA, pedestrian-friendly, not too far out of town, a driveway that wasn't on a steep slope, not so old that I'd be in for a lot of repairs in the near future, not on a noisy street. She pointed out things I couldn't see from the online images and was always responsive to my questions. When I flew into town, she drove me all over to take a look at the options before I made my decision. I'm thrilled to be living where I bought and Molly Jo even got it for less than it was listed. How could anyone ask for more?

Molly was an amazing partner during our investment property home-buying process. We purchased a home in Bend and were remote during the vast majority of the buying process so we relied heavily on her expertise and responsiveness. My wife and I would certainly recommend Molly to others and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Molly Jo was an amazing support while finding, negotiating and purchasing our new home in Bend, Oregon. We met Molly Jo 2 years prior to closing on our home in NWX while still owning our home in Atlanta, Georgia. Molly Jo was patient, communicative and provided great advice with our cross country relocation. She is professional in every way! We couldn’t be happier with our new home and NWX community. We would highly recommend Molly Jo Sommer for any real estate needs.

Molly Jo changed our whole buying journey with a map and a smile. Instead of flailing in our search, partially done from out of state, it felt like we had a local friend with the knowledge we needed to find the life adventure we were hoping for. Once we discovered that new construction was the direction we would be headed, Molly Jo eased our fears with her expertise in the process. We had zero experience in this type of purchase and her negotiation of our contract was top notch. She continued to be a wonderful liaison with the seller agent and the construction teams throughout the creation of our house. Our confidence in her attention to detail during the build allowed us to settle in and enjoy the rental she found for us in an incredibly tight market. Molly Jo didn't just assist us in buying a home, she fully welcomed us into the community of Bend and we will always be grateful.

The global pandemic was not the best time to be looking for a home in Bend: inflated prices, surplus buyers, and low inventory. We were about to give up when we met Molly Jo at an open house. When we found a property that was perfect for us, we learned there were other buyers interested, and a contract had been submitted. Molly Jo helped us quickly assemble a competitive offer. After some negotiating and excellent advice from Molly Jo, we were able to bring our two year search to a happy conclusion. This was our first home purchase in Oregon and Molly Jo guided us through the closing process. She kept us informed on inspections, repairs, and local rules and regulations. She was there when we signed our contract to answer any last minute questions. Even after closing, she quickly addressed the additional issues we discovered. Buying a home can be intimidating and it's important to have an agent who will be an advocate throughout the entire process. Sitting in our home today, we couldn't be happier and have no doubt that we wouldn't be here without the efforts of Molly Jo.

Molly is the BEST! After putting up with us for a YEAR and showing us countless properties (sometimes virtually) we finally found our dream home in Bend! She was a dream to work with and we are thrilled to have made a friend in the process! Having worked in real estate myself for several years in NC, I have a real appreciation for what goes into a smooth real estate transaction. Molly worked tirelessly for us and we are beyond grateful for all of her hard work!!!

Molly gave me the best experience I've ever had in real estate in my life. I couldn't be happier. She was willing to go to the next level to help me find the right home for what I needed, and at at time when the market was insane. Houses were going for $100K+ over the asking price and there was a buying frenzy, I was getting discouraged and was ready to give up and rent for a year. But she persistently kept looking until she found me my dream home. I've owned 4 homes prior to this and my father was a realtor for over 30 years, so I'm familiar with the business of buying and selling homes. Molly was professional, hard working, listened to what I was looking for, and didn't stop until she found it. I highly recommend her.

My husband and I were in the process of moving to Central Oregon and were coming from out of state. We had absolutely no idea who to contact, but thanks to our seller’s agent in our former home area, we were connected with Molly. Molly worked with us over the phone before we arrived, got us set up to receive emailed listings, and patiently waited until we were both available and in Oregon to physically view homes. She was flexible, open-minded and truly wanted us to find what we were looking for in our new home, rather than trying to force anything on us. In the crazy current market, Molly patiently showed us many, many homes over a very short time-span. When we finally found our home, the process had a lot of highs and lows and at times, we weren’t even sure the sale would go through; but ultimately, we ended up with the right house for us, at the price we wanted to pay. Molly went above and beyond to make sure the sale happened and went far above our expectations of a real estate agent, including doing extra research (even for homes we weren’t buying or when we had questions), as well as performing physical labor when there was work that needed to be done in order to get the loan closed. She even made local recommendations for various needs to help us find our way around Bend. Molly is bright, tenacious (she keeps on task until the job is done), kind, considerate and everyone we worked with said they would want to work with her again. We would highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for a great person to find their next home and would absolutely work with her again if/when the need arises.
