I want to take a moment to express my appreciation to you for your assistance (Scarlett Kier, Broker) with the sale of my Newport property after the death of my husband. You came highly recommended to me as a knowledgeable and leading realtor in the community, so imagine my surprise to learn, during our first discussion, that you were also the realtor who was the selling agent of the property when Ron and I bought it in 2007.

I need  to apologize to you for my rather condescending attitude in the very beginning of our relationship when I thought I knew as much about realty as you. I was finding it difficult to part with the property and I had "attitude." You were very patient with me in explaining to me why some things had to be done in a particular fashion, and I very quickly learned that you did, in fact, know much more about Oregon real estate practices than I. Thank God!

You very faithfully walked me though the entire process, from beginning to end, and I came to respect and to rely on your knowledge and expertise in the marketing and sale of property. Your experience in the community and your familiarity with so many people there was impressive and often helpful.  You artfully navigated the whole project, from listing to sale, with a sense of professionalism that was very reassuring.

Thank you for all of your patience and help. And thanks for being a Pro!
Your, Friend, J. Jackson

Tim Myrick of Advantage Real Estate recently sold our beachfront home In Newport. We had purchased the home with Tim Myrick's incomparable service in 2006. Tim is amazing! He knows the geology of the area. He has relationships with all the allied real estate businesses and professionals. Tim never gets upset and navigates all the ups and downs of the real estate transaction. Tim is a special pleasure to deal with. I couldn't recommend him any more highly.

I woke up this morning and cyst had to send you a note.  As you know I have been a Realtor for over 30 years in Az, Kauai, and CA.  When I decided to help my son buy his first home in Newport, I hit the internet and immediately was drawn to your web site after searching the web for listings.  I sent Randy an email and he responded with detailed information and your professional opinion of areas and houses... and off we went.  Randy was so attentive and professional in guiding my son through this process.  Randy dealt with a difficult closing and was constantly vigilant.  Without Randy's sense of fairness and constant attention to detail, my son might not have his first house.. but he does and loves it!  This letter comes with our highest recommendation.

Tammy is the absolute best in the business! I gave her 5 stars. Here is my review copied from Zillow 8/22/23: Tammy is simply the best around. You could not find a better realtor to sell your property or to help buy a property. I have personally sold and purchased two properties through Tammy, one as my seller’s agent and recently as my buyer’s agent. She knows the area, knows the builders, is honest, communicates well, and she gets the job done. Tammy has previewed properties for me, sent videos of the properties and has kept me on an updated email list of current properties. You will be glad you chose Tammy.

I have used Advantage Real Estate for the past 20 years to purchase and sell property in Newport. I found them to be very professional and helpful every step of the way. I would highly recommend them if you are considering buying or selling property on the Oregon Coast.

Freddy Saxton helped us sell our property and purchase a new one in Newport. He took care of everything, as we navigated the challenging real estate marketplace. There were delays and unexpected turns, but Freddy was patient in working with us, serving as communicator between the other parties, and always giving us the attention we needed, right up through to final closing.

I have to give a shout out, Marilyn Grove is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with.  We had no previous relationship with her and were from out of state and she went above and beyond in every detail.  She's the best choice.

Audra (Powell) from Advantage RE is the best! Moving from out of state, Audra was our local advocate and a source of invaluable knowledge and wisdom. We are very happy with, and highly recommend, the entire Advantage team.

I highly recommend Joan Davies to anyone seriously interested in purchasing a property on the Central Oregon Coast. As a retired City Manager of Yachats, Joan is not only skilled in real estate but adds a unique skill in her knowledge of ordinances and municipal codes. Not many agents/brokers can match that combination.

We have had the privilege of working with Bonnie, Freddie and Marilyn for over 30 years and at least 7 transactions. They have all been seamless! No surprises. No extensions. Bonnie has helped us with comps and all our properties have sold quickly for asking or more. Marilyn excels at photographing the properties. Freddie has been involved with so many local community service projects. Newport is so fortunate to have such an ethical real estate agency!

My experience with Advantage Real Estate, and most importantly, Joan Davies, was absolutely wonderful! I had great support and encouragement throughout the entire process of selling my home as well as trying to purchase another. Joan gave me lots of time and attention during this major life change and I am grateful for her calm and professional demeanor. The reason I am responding to you directly is because I do not have a google account and I wanted to be sure to give you my 'five star' rating from a very happy client indeed! Thank you!

We feel fortunate to have found Advantage Real Estate. Everyone has been kind, professional, and helpful every step of the way. They are honest and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate. Our broker, Freddy, has been a blessing and has worked tirelessly for us. He always has a positive attitude and is a genuine nice guy. It has been such a pleasure to work with him. We highly recommend Freddy or any other broker at Advantage.

Highly recommend Russell Taylor at Advantage Real Estate. Russell worked very hard to find our property and helped to steer us away from properties that would not work for us. It is nice to have been able to work with someone with his integrity and work ethic.

I and my son have worked with Scarlett Kier for about 15 years. With her active involvement she sold my son's house (that had to be sold with a separate lot). So pleased, he recommended her to me. I had a modular home with a site built garage/apt/den and a separate acre. Even during the down slide of the housing market, she found buyers. I recommended her to friend with a small home almost in the woods. That friend was thrilled. Scarlett is direct, nothing said just to get the listing. I find her a great asset to Advantage Real Estate but the Realty stands behind her. When she's unavailable, one of the other agents are right on top of things.

From the beginning while we searched for a house and throughout until we closed escrows, working with Wendy (Becker) during our 6 month search from California for a house in Newport, she was always positive, informative, organized and caring. I would Highly recommend her and your brokerage.
