June 2024-Harcourts The Garner Group, a real estate agency with offices in both Bend and Redmond, Oregon, was started by its founding member, Sandy Garner, in the 1970s in Redmond. Since then it has been developed by family members and a core group of agents who have brought together a team of mostly full time brokers that have emphasized the importance of hard work and honesty, making transactions with its team the kind that are often sought over and over again. Harcourts The Garner Group is now hiring, specifically in its Redmond office.
“There are a number of factors that keep our agents with us for many years, and keep our clients with us for many years,” said co-owner Erica Davis. “Some of those things include the quality of quantity approach that we take with our transactions. We take a holistic view of the team and what is best for the business first, not for individuals, and we support each other which can be unique in our industry. This good energy creates a sense of trust and dependability that has a trickle down effect to our clients.”
“We get a ton of support not only from our leadership in office, but from corporate at Harcourts. Access to this expertise, public relations opportunities, auction opportunities, international ties–these things cannot be overvalued as brokers working in a dynamic and changing environment,” said Jason Curran, broker at Harcourts The Garner Group.
Harcourts The Garner Group has a long history in Bend and in Central Oregon, with an ownership having more than 100 years of combined experience in the agency. Harcourts is an international franchise, and the largest and fastest growing real estate company in the world.
“Our longevity in the central Oregon real estate market, our deep knowledge of the area, our connection with developers and builders, and the vision we have for our business are how we are different,” said co-owner Shelley Griffin. “We deeply value having a group of agents who share the same goals we do: understanding and prioritizing the importance of home ownership and knowing that not only is that good for the individual, but it is also important for the community.”
“‘Pay your mortgage first’ was the age-old adage adopted early on in The Garner Group,” said Sara LaFaver, co-owner of Harcourts The Garner. “The family network that has made up the agency from the start prioritized building wealth and stability through home ownership. That same priority exists today in the belief that agents at The Garner Group are helping people not only have a deeply rooted sense of being home, but of financial stability for the long haul. Investing in Central Oregon real estate is near and dear to our hearts.”
Harcourts North America is made up of 1,300 agents in 45 offices, with The Garner Group ranking number one in per agent and total office sales volume production. For information on joining the team in the Harcourts The Garner Group Redmond office, please contact:
