Kelley Forney RE/MAX PROFESSIONAL REALTY Roseburg, OR 97470 In the summer of 2012 my elderly mother finally accepted the fact that she could no longer live alone. Her husband had passed away 20 years ago, she had outlived her friends, family and all but one of her children, me. My mother had been living in southern Oregon for 57 years, I have been in south Texas for 43 years. After bringing my mother here and getting her settled in, my wife returned to Oregon to over see an estate sale and try to get the house ready for sale. With limited vacation time my wife entrusted a younger couple to clean up the house, garage, and yard and make any of the necessary repairs. The couple performed a considerable amount of work cleaning the neglected yard and a large garage that packed with 50 years of clutter but had some kind of falling out before they were able to get more that half way through the job. A year had passed and having used all of my vacation and FLMA time, I had only one option, and that was to sell the house as is, where is and take what ever it would bring. Not knowing anyone in the very small town my mother lived in that could recommend a realtor and after dealing with my mothers legal affairs there, I was convinced there wasn?t a competent person within a thousand miles. So, I requested an endorsed local provider from Dave Ramsey?s web site. Also having dealt with some very shoddy realtors in the past, I was skeptical of the reference to Kelley Forney. After a phone conversation and explanation of my situation and not being able to finish the make ready of the house, Mr. Forney agreed to evaluate the property for me. I had keys made and sent to him. Kelley got back to me promptly and advised me that if I would hire him to sell the house, he could get at least $20000 more for it if I allowed him to handle the repairs. It sounded almost too good to be true but it was worth a try. Mr Forney was able to contract multiple repairs, services and inspections with only a minimal cash outlay. The cost of the repairs came out of the total at closing and I was shocked at the reasonable cost! He also gave me frequent updates and pictures of the progress; his timeline was very short but very precise. In summary, Mr. Kelley Forney took on the task of a minor renovation, handling all paperwork, permits, payments, and legalities in a very professional manner from 3000 miles away from me. I would have been stressed and haggard even attempting such a feat! He not only sold the house for what he said he could, it was sold as soon as it was ready, and it was ready exactly when he said it would be. There were no surprises except mine! My apologies to Mr. Kelley Forney for the lateness of this acknowledgement, I did not receive a request from Dave Ramsey.
