Testimonials

"We had a house to sell in The Dalles and were told that Colleen Bergsma was the person to call.  She came over and we discussed what we intended to do with the house, our schedule, and she provided suggestions for items that needed to be done, and explained the terms of the listing agreement.  We needed help to find contractors for plumbing, painting, lawn sprinklers and cleaning and Colleen provided good references.  Collen provided a thorough market analysis and after review we accepted her proposed price without adjustment.  Upon completion of the outside paint work she took pictures that flattered the house and prepared an excellent listing in a short time period.  For the showing Colleen brought a number of items that helped show the interior at its best.  In spite of a tepid market, the house sold in days with a very good offer.  We accepted  and the terms were as discussed and the sale was completed on schedule.  In all it was a very pleasant experience and Colleen's professionalism, thoroughness and experience assured success."  Gus Alberthal.

"I would highly recommend Colleen Bergsma as a realtor.  She was the agent selling the house we wanted to purchase, and she was our agent buying it.  She also became the agent selling our house.  She was very professional, communicated to us all the details in a very timely manner, and remained impartial while handling both sides of the sale.  Moving is stressful; with her help we overcame many obstacles that could have been deal breakers and today we are very happy with the outcome.  When she became our selling agent she immediately scheduled an agents tour, and started other marketing plans.  Our house sold in 2 weeks after listing with Colleen.  She did a fantastic job from start to finish."  Fred Kirkman

“When looking to relocate to the The Dalles area from the East Coast, trying to find a home could have been almost impossible. Colleen made our home search, our purchase, and settlement so easy, and we didn't even have to be there. All we had to do is sell our home in Pennsylvania, drive to The Dalles and pick up our keys! Colleen knows the area, she knows the market, and will make your real estate transaction the easiest thing you have ever done! Thank you Colleen for the most wonderful real estate experience we have ever had!” Bob and Denise
