A Few Kind Words From Our Clients

In the past 10 years we have used Greenman Properties to sell and or purchase four homes in the Newberg/Dundee area. They will always be our first choice for realtors. Besides the obvious high quality work in marketing our homes and the endless hours helping us search for new homes, they are truly nice, helpful, and very understanding of our particular needs. The personal touch they bring to their business and how they relate to clients is to be commended. It is not going to far to say they treated us like family.

My husband and I acquired a home on the Oregon Coast last year with the assistance of Greenman Properties. Erik was our agent and worked closely with us to find exactly what we were looking for. Even though we live out of state, and conducted the house hunt in spurts of time when we could be in the area, Erik was always there for us. In fact the whole team was great, providing us with helpful information and the benefit of their experience anytime we needed it. I recommend Greenman Properties to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy realtor who really cares. I count Erik not just my real estate agent now, but my friend.

by Fernetta Ferch Exeter California

Erik is truly an exceptional agent! There is legit nothing negative to be said about him. From the first introductory email he has been extremely diligent, forthright, and very approachable. Erik has spent countless hours working with us to find the perfect property for our family and has never given up or shown any signs of lack of interest. We have worked with Erik now for over 6 months and with Erik's expertise on the local areas, we have found what is the perfect property for our family. He has always been very accessible whenever we had questions or concerns and has always offered nothing but his most honest opinions which makes him more than just our agent; he's now become a close a personal friend and we look forward to having more opportunities to work with Erik and hope that others are able to use him and his services to find their perfect property. Thank you Erik for EVERYTHING! You truly set the bar high for other agents in Oregon!

Barbara was extremely knowledgeable and a wonderful resource. Our purchase was trouble free thanks to her attentiveness and ability to bring people together. We were impressed by her willingness to make something happen, always being both a consummate professional and open to alternative courses of action. We would highly recommend Barbara, she was an excellent advocate and will work hard for her clients.

Working with Barbara Greenman in purchasing our home in Oregon was exceptionally easy. At first we were a little apprehensive, as we live in California and were purchasing a vacation property in Oregon. After inspecting the property and submitting an offer, the paperwork process was smooth. Barbara kept us in the loop with constant communication through phone calls, e-mails and texting. Her professionalism was evident in the way she negotiated specific items for us and got things corrected in a timely manner. The only delay we experienced was waiting for an appraiser, which was out of Barbara's control (even though she TRIED to expedite it!). After that part of the process was completed, the final documents were signed and recorded rapidly, we received our keys and are enjoying our new home! We would definitely work with Barbara again should we need a realtor in Oregon in the future!

by Bert Newport, Oregon

We were very fortunate to have found Barb and Erik to work with, in our quest to find our retirement home. They were very supportive, and kept things on track as we worked through the challenges of our VA loan. We feel that they deserve to be recognized for their professionalism and willingness to be creative in helping us with our move to the coast and the purchase of our lovely home. If anyone would like to contact us, for additional information and confirmation of our experience, please feel free to email Linda/Christopher anytime.

One of the best Realtors I've ever had the pleasure to work with. She immediately makes you feel comfortable & at ease. Always willing to go the extra mile...the list of things she did for us is too long to write...We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone considering buying or selling a home in the area. You will be blessed in many ways for choosing to work with her. What else can we say. Thank you Barbara for all you do.

by Alan & Sherry Yachats, Oregon

We contacted Barbara as she was the listing agent for the house we were interested in seeing. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. At our request she provided information for home inspectors and lenders in the area. We live in a different state which made the process a bit more challenging. There were a few issues that came up in home inspection that needed to be resolved. Barbara was great working with both us and the seller and did an excellent job looking out for both of our interests. Barbara kept us informed during the whole purchase process. We wholeheartedly recommend Greenman Properties to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area. Barbara was fabulous to work with.

by Gary Claggett Seal Rock, Oregon

Barbara was the perfect choice to help me sell my house in Newport OR. It wasn't a particularly good time to be trying to sell a home there, and she managed to find a buyer within a very short period of time. Barbara was willing to work closely with me and willing to put up with some of my requirements - like not having a lock-box on the house which required that she be available whenever anyone wanted to look at the house. And she was willing to work with the selling price I wanted -- and we got what I wanted. All in all, it was an excellent experience. I whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house. Wish I had found her when I was looking to buy there originally so she could have been my representative for the purchase.

by Karen Whitcomb South Beach, Oregon

Barbara was very fair with us. She listened to us and delivered specifically that for which we asked. She did not try to show us anything other than that requested. She was open and honest about the community and the area. Everything she represented during the transaction has turned out to be exactly what we have experienced. Her level of service was outstanding. She was always available when we needed here. She showed up at the property to assist us when we could not be there ourselves. She provided us with local contacts that have all worked well. She was an absolute pleasure, trusted and we would work with her again - hands down.

by Diana Otis South Beach, Oregon

Barbara sold our beach house in one month! She is very professional and made the process seamless for us. She was showing the house to potential buyers within days of our initial conversation. We were able to do everything electronically - from listing to sale. She knows the market and did an amazing job selling our house. Thank you Barbara!

by Nick Scoville South Beach, Oregon

I am writing this letter in recommendation of Barbara Greenman of Greenman Properties, LLC. When I decided to list my property in South Shore for sale I chose Barbara as my real estate agent. I was very pleased with this choice. Barbara sold my property in less time than I had anticipated, and for full listing price. Barbara was very pleasant to work with, very professional, and always kept me informed about anything related to the sale of the property. I would highly recommend her for any of your real estate needs. She will do a good job for you.

by Jack Smith Happy Client

Working with Barb was interesting and fun. I was impressed with her ability to “qualify” me as a buyer in subtle ways while at the same time answering all my questions very thoroughly. I believe she has the experience and integrity to draw a line of fairness between the parties when working directly with buyer and seller together. This is a rare quality with a Realtor. She allowed me to process my due diligence at my speed and got an extension of a deadline when needed from the seller. She genuinely wanted me to fully understand the property before I was committed to purchase. The qualities outlined above are not typical for a real estate broker or sales person. Most are commission driven to produce closed transactions. Barb is different. I can say that she listens well with warmth, empathy, and genuineness. She is not afraid to tell you what she does not know and readily refers questions to those who are very knowledgeable with contact information. Her style is personal but not overbearing like most sales people. Barb may be the best Realtor I have worked with on any residential transaction.

I have sold seven homes in a long stretch of years. For each one, I was determined to not let the challenges of necessary actions cause stress - or, at least, a minimal amount. This last sale was managed by Barbara. My wife and I decided it was time to sell our home. Immediately upon discussion of our plan with Barbara, I realized Barbara would make this sale a smooth and stressless action. And, immediately, I knew Barbara had a strong knowledge of the market (especially in the location I was selling), was a good listener, and had the patience to help my wife and I handle the necessary actions to complete, especially preparation. Barbara informed us immediately on all actions, made recommendations when appropriate, and as I had suspected, listened to our thoughts. Also, of most importance to me, Barbara responded quickly when we had a question or problem. The sale proceeded with no stress for my wife or for me. Barbara was a delight to work with!
