For several years we looked for a permanent place in Bend, but were unable to find one that we could afford and were also near the trails and forest that we loved. Then a beautiful new little house showed up and we went to the Open House. The realtor showing the house was speaking with another customer as we looked around and we were impressed by her knowledge and warmth. She really knew the house, knew the builder, and knew the neighborhood. When we were able to speak with her and tell her what we were looking for, she responded immediately. We purchased the little house with her patience, assistance, her knowledge of the parameters of buying in Bend while we were living in Canada, her understanding of the builder, taxes, mortgage broker, property management folks. She could even introduce us to our new neighbors. She remains a good friend and adviser. Shelley Griffin is one of the finest realtors we've ever worked with.
