Bend Brokers Realty

We cannot say enough good things about Thom! If I could give him 10 stars I would! We worked with him for just about 1 year in our home search. As first time home buyers, the process seemed daunting, but Thom stuck with us through several contracts and inspection periods until we landed on the absolute perfect home. He went out of his way to provide us with information about each individual house and the Bend housing market as a whole. As a long time resident, Thom knows SO MUCH about the area and that really helped us to narrow down neighborhoods based on what type of lifestyle we like. He was always honest with us when he thought we were looking at something that didn't quite suit our needs and didn't hesitate to show us properties that we might have overlooked. Thom took the time to lis

Friends of ours referred us to Thom to help with our house purchase in Bend in August 2022. He was fantastic throughout the process. We purchases our house almost entirely remotely and he really did help us feel comfortable doing it (we did one quick trip to look at the house). We listened to his advice throughout the process and we are pretty happy so far. He knows Bend and the pros and cons of buying in different places. If you are looking for someone who will tell you the truth (even if it might not be what you want to hear) and has your interests in mind, Thom is a great person to work with. He has a great network to send you to and everyone we worked with in the process was helpful and patient.

Thom Gardner & Bend Brokers Realty is THE BEST! There is no way we would have been able to accomplish our goals of buying a home 1,900 miles away from where we live to relocate our family of 4 with 2 toddlers + dog to a wonderful place where we happen to know nobody, in the crazy real estate market of 2022, without Thom's help and guidance all through the process. From recommending a neighborhood to keep our eyes on (one we didn't even know existed even after our own thorough due diligence) or talking us out of a few of the homes that we might have been willing to "compromise" too greatly on, to putting together a very detailed video + commentary walkthrough of the home we wanted make an offer and all the way to closing. Thom is professional but laid back, experienced, attentive, and very

Thom has been helping us look for a home in certain parts of Bend. He has always been responsive and offered good ideas. Recently, we found a place for sale by owner. We called Thom and within a very short few days over a holiday, we had an outline of a deal in place with the sellers. This could never have happened without Thom’s willingness to help us do our diligence from a distance and without his deep knowledge of Bend and the R/E market there. After that, Thom walked us through all of the buyer side steps required to close on the purchase. On top of that, Thom continues to stay in touch and generously offer his skills on whatever questions or needs we have. This has been a great experience coming from the Midwest and finding our retirement home in Bend with Thom Gardner’s suppo

We're so glad we had the good fortune to find Thom to be our buyer's agent here in Bend! He has almost 20 years experience in the area, the reviews of his work were excellent, and in person he's as good as gold. Buying a property long distance is quite daunting, especially from as far away as Atlanta GA. We felt at ease with Thom from our first meeting with him. He is energetic, fun, knowledgeable and a good listener. During the process of looking at houses it was very reassuring to have someone with deep knowledge of the town who could point out both the good and the bad of certain locations, this saved valuable time. One of the things we valued the most of Thom's services was the video tour he made of the most promising house we visited. Once we were back in Georgia we watched it several
