Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am pleased to add another five star review for Dava's professional services in selling a home. We first met with Dava almost three years before we listed our home for sale. In that first meeting, she spent two hours with us, taking whatever time was needed to fully answer all our questions. She followed up with a complex and detailed market analysis for our unique vintage home. We were impressed with her depth of knowledge of the Corvallis real estate market in general and, in particular, the selling of vintage or historic properties. When the time came to put our home on the market, Dava engaged talented professionals to deep clean, stage and photograph the property. She performed an updated market analysis to advise us on pricing. Her presentation of the property for sale was effective, resulting in a lot of interest. Dava deftly handled all offer and contingency negotiations and we were happy with the ultimate sale transaction. I highly recommend Dava as an agent for selling a home in Corvallis.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I can’t say enough about what a pleasure it was to work with Dava. We have only sold one home in our almost 50 years of marriage so needed someone to walk us through. She is unbelievably knowledgeable about all things real estate. She was a pleasure to work with and was very patient and understanding of all our needs and questions. We felt she ABSOLUTELY was a strong and professional advocate for us through and through. I do, without any hesitation, recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor.

Thanks so much Dava.Verified I've worked with Dava three times in the last 15 years. When we moved to Corvallis, she was our buyer's agent, and she helped us find the perfect house, in a neighborhood we wanted, just a 10 minute walk from our daughter's elementary school. It was a touch market in 2007, and she helped us make just the right offer to win and get the house of our dreams. I was in Boston and unable to travel, so I never even saw the house before owning it. It was perfect. When I got divorced, we needed to sell that house, and, again, she was phenomenal. This was a wild market in 2021, and she helped us prep the house for sale, evaluate offers and sell the house for nearly $70,000 above list. It went in five days. Finally, after living in an apartment for 18 months, I decided I was ready to start looking again. Within a week, Dava helped me find exactly the house I was looking for in Southtown and was a phenomenal negotiator. I got the house for $10k under list and also got $1,000 from the seller towards closing costs to pay for a repair even though the seller had said he wouldn't make any repairs. She sent me boxes to help with the move and had the house professionally cleaned before moving in. I would recommend no one else to my friends in Corvallis who want to buy or sell a home. She is the best. I'm 100% team Dava.Verified Dava helped me sell my house after my husband passed. She made a highly emotional situation easy to navigate. Her knowledge of the process, negotiating skills and prompt responses to my myriad of questions were all excellent. Then she helped me buy another house and the same can be said for the buying side of the process.Verified Dava is very experienced and knows the real estate business inside/out. She managed every aspect of my home sale with confidence and consulted me whenever decisions came up. The sale was fast, on target and painless for me. She knows all the service people in town and can recommend someone for every job that you may need done. I'd work with her again in a minute!Verified Dava is thorough and puts together and executes a good marketing plan. She is detail oriented and very attentive. I would not hesitate to use her services again, and recommend her highly.Verified A friend recommended Dava when we starting looking for our new home. The area was new to us and we wanted someone with street by street knowledge. Dava was a perfect fit. She really knows Corvallis and has great contacts for all the stuff that comes up with the house hunt. Although it took a lot longer than we expected to find our property Dava was confident it would happen and helped us ride out the uncertainty of this crazy real estate market. We found our "needle in a haystack" home and are super grateful to Dava for making it ours. If you want a realtor who knows her stuff, says it like it is and doesn't pressure you, then check Dava out.Verified We are first time home sellers and Dava was our agent. She is extremely knowledgeable and it was great working with her. She really made the selling of the house easier, I cannot imagine doing it without her. She kept in constant contact helping with all the paperwork. Thanks to all she did, our house sold very fast.Verified Dava was my agent assisting me in selling my home, and the simple truth is I would not want to go through the process without professional help. The real estate industry has become so over-regulated (may be a good or bad thing, depending on your point of view) that it requires a professional to navigate through the process. And Dava has the experience and knowledge to help you do that. Plus, she's just a darn nice lady! Oh, did I mention she knows Real Estate??? To all the consumers (people selling and buying) out there, please keep this in mind. Good agents like Dava have massive demands for their time. They manage each client who is going through this complicated process of buying or selling a home, and at any point in time she has multiple clients at various stages in the process. It's impossible to meet each clients needs on their time schedule due to other demands on her time, but Dava comes pretty darn close. She uses all the technology available to her to help manage the demands on her time, and does it well! In closing, if I had the chance to re-do my selling experience, I wouldn't do anything differently.

Thanks so much Dava.Verified Dava is a wealth of local and real estate knowledge. We've worked with her multiple times for both ourselves and my mother-in-law. She's patient and generous with her knowledge, honest, forthright, hard working and possesses an eagle eye for detail.

She went out of her way to connect us with the right contractors and to guide us through the buying process.Verified We would like to thank you for all your excellent services in selling our house at Corvallis. Selling a house from over 3000 miles away was a daunting challenge for us. With your being there helped us more than we can say! We greatly appreciate you went the extra mile over to assist us on all aspects of selling, such as "staging", repairing, and explaining process steps and keeping us informed. Moreover, you provide a POA procedure to facilitate document signing for an absent signer at closing. Your advice and comps were invaluable to us in making decisions, and you always handled things in a highly professional manner. Thank you again for your dedicated help and your friendship. We would certainly contact you next time when the opportunity is up as well as recommend your services to others.Verified Fantastic experience for us as first time homebuyers. Dava has lots of experience and can help you find your home. She was also very patient and knowledgeable of the home buying process. Dava made the search fun and was a great negotiator as well. Highly recommended!Verified We recently purchased a home in Oregon with Dava as our realtor. We have worked with many realtors in the past and by far Dava is easily the most effective and knowledgeable of them all. We had the complexity of going through the process remotely as we were living in California and wanting a particular home and environment. We found Dava on the internet and were very skeptical at first but fortunately found that we couldn't have made a better choice. Dava not only had the unique ability to quickly identify what we wanted but also had a natural ability to effectively focus on only those properties that were worth the effect to look at thus saving a tremendous amount of time and energy. Dava's level of experience was remarkable as was shown many times over, knowing the neighborhoods, other realtors, experts needed to be consulted, and the uncanny ability to go through a house and asses it in detail, identify potential problems verses non-issues, what needed to be looked at further and what didn't. We ended up fully trusting Dava to cover "all the bases" and knowing that she would proactively followup on what was needed, which she so expertly did, as she did a better job than any inspector and realtor combined. Our stress over the entire process was minimal because of the well-earned trust and respect we placed on Dava - she far exceeded our high standards and expectations. And we ended up with a beautify home that both my wife and I are greatly enjoying.Verified I purchased my home in Corvallis 2 years ago. I have not been prompted by anyone except myself to finally write this review. I have not forgotten my exceptional experience working with Dava Behrens. I actually called Dava on the phone without a clue that I was getting the most knowledgeable, competent and down right nice person in Corvallis real estate (my humble opinion). She worked hard for me and absolutely has a great eye for real estate and the market. She will give you a frank opinion on the place you are looking at. She's also great at seeing potential in relation to price. I also noted that she has the respect from her peers and local businesses as she is a quintessential professional. I'm still using her very useful list of recommend vendors. That's my review- better late then never! Thank you Dava.Verified We are out-of-state buyers living in the midwest and therefore needed an agent who could provide real-time assistance at a distance. This included narrated video tours of prospective properties using live streaming apps and/or uploaded youtube videos provided by Dava and her assistant. We also needed someone who was familiar with the process of purchasing property at a distance - including negotiating with the seller and signing documents online. Dava and her team did an outstanding job helping us look at various properties using online narrated tours. We ultimately found a home that was listed as an FSBO property and Dava's ability to work with the seller and do the heavy lifting was the difference that led to a successful closing. Dava is a down-to-earth professional who goes above and beyond in order to find a property that is a good fit given the needs of a buyer. But her skills as facilitator and her ability to stay focused on the details is what really stands out - especially once an offer to purchase has been made and accepted. Its at that point that a buyer, working at a distance, needs someone they can trust to represent their interests. In our particular case, there were several items that came up during the contingency period that required time and negotiation to work through. Dava did an excellent job listening and offering suggestions on how to proceed through a difficult period that could have easily led to our walking away from the property. Dava always responded to our many questions and made sure our questions were fully answered. She did a great job working with the seller and explaining why we were requesting an additional test or reduction in price. We are very satisfied with the process that led to a successful closing and that satisfaction is largely built on Dava's knowledge, experience, and hard work representing our interests as we purchased a home in Corvallis while living in another part of the country.Verified Dava was extremely helpful in helping us get my moms home ready to sell. She thought of all of the things we didn't, was very knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to deal with. I can very highly recommend her. Thank you Dava!
