Testimonials

“The best of the best…highly recommend working with Deserie for any of your real estate needs. Relocating to Oregon from out of state is an overwhelming and daunting experience. My husband and I were referred to Deserie by our former realtor and we could not have been happier with our experience. She made our transition to finding our new home a smooth and (dare I say) fun process! First, she is a beautiful person inside out- she has the natural ability to connect with others. We genuinely enjoyed the time we spent with Deserie- it was apparent how important it was for her to get to know us and our needs when considering to purchase a home. We were impressed with the seamless nuanced communication she exhibited with all the parties that encompass the purchasing of a home -from the seller’s agent, our lender, to the home inspection company for example. While professional and friendly, she was a firm advocate for our best interest. We trusted her professional opinions and suggestions. She was a fair and assertive negotiator when it came to concessions we asked for from sellers. In addition, she was so patient with us and all our questions. She made herself available anytime we needed further explanation on something- just a phone call, text or email away. Specifically, there are many facets of buying a home in Oregon that are different than other states, especially the home maintenance that we were not aware of. Deserie recommended additional inspections that we did not consider outside initial home inspection such as tank, sewer and Radon testing. This benefited us significantly because one the inspections didn’t pass and we were able to have sellers repair before we closed. Moreover, Deserie took the time to discuss and provide resources for caring for our home long term. She continues to be available to us as a support and resource. We cannot recommend Deserie and Coldwell Banker Bain enough, truly the best of the best!!”

“My wife and I had Deserie help us sell our home. Her attention to detail of the staging of our home was so helpful. She kept us informed about the people coming to look at our home, was so helpful, she took the stress out of the sale telling us where things were during the process of the closing. She had the home staged for the pictures, making our home pictures show our home in its best light. I can’t express the help she gave us and how she made the process so easy. You could not have a better realtor representative than Deserie.”

“Deserie helped my husband and me sell our home in Gladstone, Oregon, in September 2021. She also helped us find our new home in Salem, Oregon. Her professionalism is outstanding in every way. She is completely honest and caring about what the clients’ needs are. She responds quickly with information regarding the buying or selling of the property, and there is never a question about whether the process will be a positive outcome. She went far above our expectations, and we are so lucky to have had her working with us. We highly recommend her to anyone that is in the market to buy or sell a home. She is outstanding.”

“Deserie is amazing! We worked with her in 2016 to buy our first home and loved her so much we asked her to help us again to sell it and buy a new home! She is an expert in EVERY step of the process. Let her take the wheel – she knows how to find homes you want without wasting your time on the houses that merely look good on the internet. She took care of everything and truly took the stress away from everything from lenders to home inspections. We love Des!”

“Absolute highest recommendation. Deserie is a top professional. She helped us with the purchase and sale of our home, and both transactions went flawlessly. Deserie has an amazing eye for details, keen business sense and goes above and beyond for clients.”

“Our agent, Des Fernbaugh, was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! We cannot begin to say enough good about her – what an earth angel! We could never have bought our new home from 3,000 miles away without Des’s good counsel. She was our bulldog, our champion and our friend through every step of the way. With a tremendous blessing, thank you, Des!”

“From day one, Deserie was very communicative, honest, sincere and focused. This was my wife’s and my first home purchase, and Deserie calmed all of our nerves and concerns throughout the entire process. As you may know, first-time home buyers may be naive when it comes to some thoughts and ideas when they are purchasing a home. We expressed all of our concerns and desires to Deserie, and she listened and advised both me and my wife on all of the homes we visited. During our home buying process, she identified issues with a house that I would expect only home inspectors to find. She helped us submit a favorable yet honest bid on a home within the first weekend of us working with Deserie in person. I would like to think I’m an effective and efficient person, but Deserie blows me out of the water with her effectiveness. I could go on for hours about how blessed we were to work with Deserie, but essentially Deserie Fernbaugh Daniels was an absolute professional throughout the entire house buying process. She was extremely friendly, charismatic, sweet (she bought my wife flowers on her birthday), sincere and easy to communicate with. I could not have worked with anyone better. Deserie is an absolute star, and I just wanted to provide you some insight from the community she serves on her performance. To sum up in a brief phrase, Des is PHENOMENAL.”
