"As newcomers to the world of investment property, Earlene was able to guide us to the perfect properties for our portfolio.  With Earlene’s assistance, we quickly and profitably purchased three properties and subsequently sold one property in less than two years.  Earlene has a gift for identifying properties that fit our criteria and for suggesting interesting properties that complement our portfolio.  Her vast experience in and knowledge of Bend, and her no-nonsense approach to real estate, have been instrumental in helping us build our investment property business.  We highly recommend Earlene as a real estate agent with high ideals and utmost integrity."

"Thank you for being a very hard working professional in your field and congratulations on being in the top percentile in your company.  Some people have to learn the hard way that it does not make sense to work with an inexperienced real estate broker. I am fortunate to have found you and Mike on the internet then interviewed you by phone prior to starting on our journey to acquire Central Oregon investment property. After about a year and a half and a half dozen trips to your market from the San Francisco Bay Area, I now own 13 "total doors" and this number will increase as I consider the Deschutes County real estate market  to be a money making opportunity; not only that but I thoroughly enjoy Bend as a community.  Now if I can only get my wife to agree on moving there we would probably be your neighbors!  Many thanks on a job well done and continued success in your profession."

"When Karen and I made the decision to relocate from St. Petersburg, Florida to Bend, Oregon, the adventure of beginning a new career and finding a new home was very exciting but also very stressful and overwhelming. We researched a lot of houses on the internet but because of time frames and distance involved to view these homes, it was crucial that we find an agent who would assist us in this process. We desperately needed someone we felt comfortable with and someone who would listen to our needs and concerns via emails and telephone. We began researching realtors in the Bend area and of the four we emailed, Earlene was the quickest and most informative to respond. She took into consideration everything we explained to her regarding what we were looking for and because of her vast knowledge of the Bend real estate market and her ability to listen to our needs, we bought the first house she showed. She handled every detail from finding a great mortgage broker to volunteering to keep close watch over the house regularly for the next three months. Both of us, without hesitation or reservation, would highly recommend Earlene Dillard to anyone looking for an agent who is honest, trustworthy, compassionate, and truly cares about her clients."
