Riley was our realtor for the recent successful purchase of our home in Corvallis. He was an extraordinarily good person to work for us on many levels. He was extremely comfortable to work with because of his great combination of calm self-assurance and great responsiveness. Instead of giving partial answers to our emails and other correspondence, he always responded to everything thoroughly. He didn't play games. We consistently felt like he was truly working for us. When we discussed challenging negotiating tactics he REALLY listened to and understood our perspective, gave his advice clearly and with well-thought out and directly expressed explanations. He has wisdom and people skills well beyond his years. We have dealt with many realtors over over several decades and virtually all have been disappointing in various ways. Riley is heads and shoulders better than any of them, especially in the intangibles that make all the difference. As for tangibles, he helped us negotiate the seller down from her already reasonable listing price by $22,500, even in a sellers' market! An enjoyable realtor who gets truly impressive results. You can see why we are confidently referring anybody who needs a realtor in the area to him. He is truly a rare find.
