What our Clients Are Saying

Sarah helped guide us through a difficult negotiation and purchase in early 2021. I don't think we could have gotten through this without her help!

My experience with realtors in the past is often that I get low responsiveness, or low attention to issues that surface. Sarah did the footwork with us, side by side. She spent hours in the records office to research issues with the property. She also reached out and connected with us continually, to keep us motivated for the purchase (something we're very glad of now).

I highly recommend Sarah as your agent. Thanks!

I was so thankful to work with Kenzie throughout the home buying process! She was very thorough and quick to answer any questions I had. Her local knowledge helped us to see listings promptly and to get my offer in early, which was beneficial in such a competitive market. She is also so positive and enjoyable to be around, making a potentially overwhelming process feel very manageable!

There are not enough positive reviews to leave for Sarah. Her energy to help is abounding and infectious. Her passion to connect people and to connect with people to build a stronger community is inspiring. As soon as you meet her she makes you feel as if you are family. It’s a blessing to have Sarah in your corner.

We recently purchased a home in White Salmon with Colleen as our buyer’s agent and I can’t say enough good things about working with her. She has an abundance of local knowledge and is just an all around wonderful person to know and spend time with. Most importantly, she is great at her job. We all know that this is an extremely hot seller’s market and it’s easy to feel like you don’t stand a chance as a buyer. Before working with Colleen, we’d already lost out on a couple other homes in Hood River and were feeling defeated. When our home came on the market, Colleen came in with some creative ideas (ones I’d never considered or even heard of actually, even as a seasoned home buyer) to help our offer stand out against multiple others - and we won! Once we were in contract, Colleen worked tirelessly to line up multiple inspections and specialists for our 1936 home so we fully knew what we were getting into. She also helped us work through some major repair negotiations, also not an easy feat in a seller’s market with a backup offer in the wings. It was also wonderful knowing we were a part of the larger "Jen Dillard team" with access to their collective knowledge and resources. I am so grateful for all of Colleen's help and would highly recommend her as your Realtor in the Gorge area. Unmatched service, hard work and communication.

Jen and her team were easy to work with, professional and friendly. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great realtor in the gorge! Thanks Jen and team for a wonderful first-time home buying experience!

Kenzie is a knowledgeable, professional, bundle of joy. Her personality and smile will illuminate any room and she will surely make you feel comfortable and confident in your home buying decisions.

Not to mention she is incredibly well connected in the community and has an impressive reputation in the area.

Kenzie has been the best coach, friend, and cheerleader during my home buying journey! She asks all the right questions, listens well and cares deeply. Not to mention she is essentially made of sunshine—you’ll find that out as soon as you meet her. As a Hood River local, Kenzie has so many valuable connections!

Kenzie was incredibly helpful and insightful. She helped us find homes in our price range that fit our style which isn’t always easy to find in this area.

I have had the pleasure of watching Kenzie Carlstrom singlehandedly run her own swimsuit company, start and organize a series of fitness classes which bolstered the community during trying times of 2020, master website design and use of social media to increase revenue for various local businesses, and become an integral part of Jen Dillard’s team, all while working towards her goal of becoming a real estate agent in the gorge. Kenzie’s strong suit is her positive personality. She remains motivated and creative in challenging situations, all while keeping a bright smile and friendly attitude that I always feel privileged to be around. She has seemingly endless energy that she uses to accomplish just about anything she sets her mind to. She is extremely socially inclined and therefore well connected and respected in the gorge. She makes friends with all she meets and is an advocate for those she knows. Kenzie is an asset to any team or situations she is a part of.
