Realty Consultants

As an attorney myself, I immediately recognized Artie's very valuable services of providing a buyers only real estate agent. Having no possibility of a conflict of interest appealed to me both professionally as well as personally. In addition, his experience as a contractor with knowledge of and skills in the real estate market was exactly what I needed especially since I was relocating from New Jersey and didn't know the Eugene area at all. Artie didn't disappoint me ... he was personable, and thoroughly professional. His experience saved me on more than a few occasions from either buying the wrong property or buying a property that needed extensive repairs. In plain English, Artie saved me a lot of money and aggravation. In my professional and personal opinion, you just can't get better services than Artie provides for the most expensive purchase you make in buying a home. By the way, Artie helped me greatly in negotiating an affordable and fair price for the home i finally purchased.

Artie Gilad provides an extremely rare and valuable service in the real estate industry: he is a true buyer's agent who does not also represent sellers. Artie is experienced, strategic, trustworthy, and fair; he helped us to thoroughly understand and navigate the home-buying process from start to finish. Thanks to Artie's expert guidance and integrity, we found and bought the perfect house and were well-prepared and well-informed at every stage of the process. We highly recommend Artie's services to anyone who is planning to buy a house!

My partner and I took a free class taught by Artie Gilad at LCC called "How to Be a Smart Homebuyer". We learned a lot in the class, and decided to hire Artie as our buyer's agent. Artie has our very highest recommendation. His integrity, wise counsel, excellent communication skills, and long experience in the real estate business immediately put us at ease. Artie genuinely cares about his work, his clients, and had our best interests in mind throughout the home buying process. He guided us to the best possible home in our price range. His professionalism was accompanied by a personal connection: Artie showed up in person every step of the way, from multiple home viewings to our home inspection, the closing at the title company, and to repairs done AFTER he received his commission. Additionally, I deeply appreciate how helpful, courteous, honest, and kind Artie is as a person. I am convinced that Artie is the reason our first offer was accepted immediately (out of multiple offers submitted).

I cannot give Artie enough credit for his assistance throughout every phase of the house-purchasing process: from house-hunting to contract negotiation, to home inspection, to closing and, in our case, an owner rent-back addendum. Others have stated that Artie is the "ultimate professional," and I would concur that that is a perfect description of his abilities, his knowledge, and his integrity. We took a along period of time to find just the right house and Artie never wavered nor complained at our methodicalness. He understood that selecting a home is an important and difficult decision. At every stage, Artie explained what needed to be done, why it needed to be done, and the pitfalls we needed to avoid in the process. Artie wisely wanted us to scout out properties initially to avoid wasting a lot of time in houses or neighborhoods that were simply not going to work out. However, in addition to accompanying us on all "reasonable" houses, he attended the inspection process once we found a house and also attended the closing to help us understand and wade through the vast pile of documents. Most people do not realize or understand that realtors directly or indirectly represent the seller. Artie is one of a handful of agents (if not the only agent) in Lane County that only represent the buyer. Our process was a long one but Artie made it more focused and offered insight at many pivotal stages of that long road. I offer a full and complete endorsement for his services.

Artie is great! Very, very patient. He worked with us for the entire 2 years it took us to find the perfect house for us. He is a consummate professional and has your best interests at heart. He will never rush you. We were loathe to use a real estate agent but didn't want to do it all on our own, as we had no time to adequately look into /research all the issues that come up when house hunting. Artie was the perfect solution for us. Artie is the man to help you through the complicate process of buying a house, he is extraordinarily knowledgeable and helpful. We wound up getting a great house at a steal. If we buy again, we would use Artie in a heart beat.

From our very first meeting, I was very pleased with the way that Artie conducts business. I liked the idea that he requires the buyer to sign an agreement outlining both the agent and buyer responsibilities. His unique position as an agent that represents only the buyer allows him to act as a true advocate to the buyer, enabling him to get the best deal in a way not always possible for the traditional real estate salesperson. Every step of the home-buying process was explained to me. Artie kept in constant contact, and when I was ready to make an offer, he worked with my lender to help me negotiate the perfect mortgage. He worked tirelessly with the seller?s agent and was able to build a deal that was much better than I thought possible. All this was done seamlessly, so that there was never a time when I didn?t know what was going on. Artie was present during the inspection process and also at the closing, where he was careful to look over each document for accuracy. He was present after the closing and followed up on every detail in the final days before my move. I know I saved thousands of dollars by selecting Artie as my agent. More importantly, I had a home buying experience that was trouble-free, and an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Artie makes every client feel as though they are his only client, and I admire his integrity. I would heartily recommend him to anyone, especially the first time home buyer, for the best deal going and a positive experience!

This is the second time we have used Artie for a home purchase. The first was for a home we purchased in Florence 10 years ago. We were so impressed the first time we knew we would work with him again in a heartbeat! Because he works only for the buyer and never lists any properties, he represented us 100%. He also has experienced as a contracter and a lawyer, so he understands how homes and contracts are put together. Artie helped us save $12000 on the asking price of our home, and also negotiated a credit towards our costs for some work we could do on our own to the house we were purchasing. We had a complex closing because we were being relocated by my husbands company. Artie worked out all the paperwork so we be reimbursed our costs. He is easily reached by cell phone, and returns phone calls promptly. Artie is honest and will give you the straight scoop on a property. We would use him again for any home purchases, and we recommend his services without reservation.

We were not just delighted, we were astonished. What he saved us was triple his commission. We had total confidence in his service. We would never buy a house any other way.
