Testimonials
"I want to take a brief moment to let you know how absolutely thrilled I was throughout my entire home selection process. Being a first time homebuyer, there was no way I could have done this without you as my realtor. Along the way, your patience, diligence, openness, honesty, candidness, partnership, and most of all your friendship kept my sanity and made this experience a positive one for me. Being in the industry I thought prepared me for what was going to happen, but it really didn't, it's so different when it's your own transaction. Having you guide me through this process was huge. We make a great TEAM!! I want to thank you and your wife Joy for making this a wonderful and memorable experience. I know I've gained an amazing friendship through the purchase of my very first home. Jim, thank you for all you've done for me. You are truly the best in the business. I love my new home. Sincerely, T. Diaz"

"Special thanks to Jim Frey and Maggy Welker of Windermere for assisting me on the sale as well as purchase of my new home. They provided excellent recommendations on how to prep my house prior to placing it on the market. They did comparative studies on the asking price of those homes listed within our neighborhood to give us a realistic approach on what to ask for our house. We were very satisfied with the asking price as well as their continual support on the sale of our house. Guess what---within 2 weeks, we had a buyer for our house. Since time now became a factor, they worked feverishly in assisting us in locating our “dream” house. After countless number of hours, we finally found our new home. They amazingly put the paperwork together and before we knew it, the paperwork was processed, closed, and we were moving into our new home within 30 days. To my friends at Windermere, Jim and Maggy, “kudos” to the both of you. Jim & Kati"

"My wife and I are a young family with a beautiful 5 year old daughter. We started looking around areas that we thought we might want to live in by just driving around. On one very rainy day we stumbled into an open house. There we met Jim Frey. It is funny how such a random act can turn into something life changing. Jim became a life-line into the world of information that comes with attempting to buy a home. As first time home buyers, Jim provided us with all the different options available to us. After meeting with Jim a couple of times it was evident that he was looking out for my family and our best interests. I can distinctly remember telling Jim that I would never lose his number, and I never will. After deciding on a home the negotiations went extremely smooth and Jim's experience with people and homes really benefited us during this process. Since our home purchase, I consider Jim and Joy friends, genuine people who I will never hesitate to call on for advice or a BBQ dinner at our new home. Thank You, Tony, Allison & Grayson"

Jim Frey-Broker, GRI answered:
Being a first time home buyer, are you considering the location? or Arbor? or price? condo? These are all important questions to answer....next logical one is - "are you pre-approved" yet? Before going into any negotiation with "builders" (or sellers for that matter), you best be pre-approved for a mortgage! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.....there are other areas close to this one that are appealing. - Thu Apr 3 2008, 19:01

How small or how large is this town?

Jim Frey-Broker, GRI answered:
Wow - great question! Bend has GROWN UP recently. About 3 hrs from portland, real estate has sky rocketed, traffic is an issue.
