Lila helped us land an amazing house on the coast! Even during a tough market for buyers and without being taken for a ride. She had our backs the whole time; advocating for us, helping us strategize, being readily available and showing infinite patience. Her communication is top notch and real estate savvy spot on. We don't plan to be buying or selling a house in the near future, but if we do ... Lila will be our first call.

Lila Timmons is great to work with. She helped us find our new home even though we had very specific needs which made or search challenging. She patiently listened to our needs and understood our quirks. If we need a realtor in the future, we will not hesitate to work with her again. And we would recommend that any one who needs a realtor give her a call.

Do yourself a favor. Choose Lila. My transaction was executed quicky and flawlessly. I have had a number of bad experiences with real estate agents, both in my former career, and during failed attempts at purchasing a home a couple of years ago. I was anxious about choosing a real estate agent and attempting the home buying process again, but Lila took excellent care of me and I couldn't be more pleased with my choice. She is ultra competent, anticipating setbacks and staying in front of them. She thought of everything. She is the consummate professional, handling everything with calm, confident efficiency, even when I turned into buyer-zilla. She is a tough negotiator, ready to go to battle if necessary in order to get her buyer as many advantages as possible. She has a great personality, she is a regular person, without all the fake, awkward, annoying sales-persony garbage. Love Lila!

Lila is a very professional and knowledgable real estate agent. I was very happy that she helped me find my home. She answers any questions promptly and makes every effort to meet your expectations. She puts 150% of her time in helping you find the right house. She also makes sure that if any problems arise she lets you know right away so there are no surprises. Because house hunting is so stressful for the buyer, she takes the time to find out what the buyer is looking for and finds the appropriate houses for you to see, so you don't waste time lookng at houses that might not interest you. I was going through a difficult time and she made my house shopping more relaxing and fun. She has a joyful personality which makes for good conversation. She is very supportive and provides paperwork on a timely basis. I would recommend Lila for your next home buying experience, she is an expert in her field, and I am very pleased she helped me find my home.

I was going through a difficult life transition and I am so grateful a friend recommended Lila. She was my listing and purchasing agent. She sold my house in a week for full asking price and really listened to my needs as we searched for my new home. She is probable one of the kindest people I have ever met, has true integrity, AND knows how to shoot straight when giving excellent guidance. Her input made my decisions better. Buying a new home can be very stressful bu with Lila guiding me, I never had to worry about all the details. She tracked it all. You cannot go wrong relying on Lila as your realtor. Quite simply one of the best.

It is my pleasure to provide a recommendation for Lila. We met through a random referral from our realtor in Hawaii. I enjoyed meeting both Lila and her husband Eric the first day we looked at property together. They are a great team! Lila was always available to either talk or meet with us at a moment's notice. We appreciate all her hard work to help us close our transaction so smoothly.

Words cannot express how thankful I am having Lila Timmons as my Realtor. Lila was there every step along the way , smoothing out the bumps, making calls, following up on lose ends, a true partner during this transaction.
It’s not often that I feel someone has my back, Lila did each and everyday. Lila is not only my Realtor, but someone I consider a friend.
Thank you Lila!

Lila could not have made the home buying process easier for me. I'm a first time buyer, and she was there every step of the way. She's very easy to get a hold of, and always willing to answer any questions that come up. A very genuine person, who really is enthusiastic about helping you find a home you'll be happywith, and putting the work to make it happen. I would very highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you Lila!!

Lila was great. She helped me buy my first home, and I had a LOT of questions. We looked at so many homes. She was so very patient with me and answered all my questions. She had to have shown me 25+ homes. I really was glad to have had her to help me through all of this and appreciated her open and honest opinions. Everything was taken care of, and I mean everything. Would 100% recommend.

If you want a realtor that will actually work for you and get things done. She is the realtor for you, but if you want one that messes around and takes their time then keep looking. She will go out of her way to get your dream house or to sell your current one. Thank you Diane!!!!

Lila is an exceptional individual and realtor! Helpful through the entire process, from the first viewing to closing, even though the 2020 pandemic. She is very easy going, with a perfect balance of professionalism and personal investment, even with a sprained foot she was there to show a house. A truly friendly experience from a first time home buyer. No doubt when we look to sell, I'll be contacting Lila first. No. Doubt.

Lila has helped me sell 2 homes and purchase one. From start to finish, she radiates enthusiasm and professionalism. She does her research when it comes to pricing, and her recommendation allowed me to receive a full price offer after being on the market less than a week. She uses all marketing strategies to advertise and provides advice clearly grounded in years of experience. Lila is highly responsive and enlists a team I’d like-minded support to make the sale happen. She is relentless in her efforts to help you achieve your real estate goals, realistic in her guidance, honest, and an absolute pleasure to work with. You will not regret your decision to work with her.

Lila Timmons was awesome and totally honest and so helpful in the selling of my house. She made sure I was kept up on all aspects of the sell. She was helpful and full of knowledge on all issues. I would recommend her, as she is honest and will work hard to get a client's house sold or to find that special house for her client.

After purchasing my first home I saved Lila’s info because I loved working for her. Thankfully she was able to work with me a second time around for my own personal second home purchase. She was amazing!! It was like working with a friend that truly has your best interest at heart. 10 out of 10 would recommend and use her again !!

Lila was great to work with, whe was on top of everything, very organized. If I didn't understand what was going on she would explain in simple terms. Thanks Lila!! We are enjoying our new house in Oregon.

After having such a negative experience using realtors in Califormia, we were very cautious about working with one in Oregon. Lila was a breath of fresh air-professional, diligent, and going way out of her way to meet our needs. After the offer was accepted she still worked very hard to make sure our new home was exactly as we hoped it would be. We highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed.

Lila was amazing to work with. We met her at an open house and knew she was the Realtor we needed. We had some hiccups (none of them caused by Lila) and she helped us navigate them as painlessly as possible. She had solutions to fit everyone's needs. I will recommend her to all my friends and family.

Being a first time home buyer made the process seem extremely overwhelming. Lila was very helpful in making the process stress free and explaining everything to me when it came to things I didn't understand. She was highly dedicated in getting this home closed on and even went out of her way to check a few things out for me at the home since I was not in the state at the time. She maintained an extremely professional appearance and above all was a very trustworthy person.

Lila is very professional and she is a pleasure to work with. Our family had to leave the state before our house closed and Lila stepped in and took care of all of our needs. Thank you very much Lila.

Lila did a fantastic job every step of the way! The listing looked great and showed my home in the best possible light. She scheduled numerous open houses and followed up with interested buyers. She was a great help through the inspection and negotiation process and even helped schedule contractors. I would highly recommend her to other sellers!

Lila was entirely involved and worked with a complex transaction in a difficult market and resolved every challenge with grace and a fantastic can-do attitude. Lila's engagement and commitment to my satisfaction and to the satisfaction of every stakeholder's requirements was remarkable. I can strongly recommend Lila - and I already have, to a prospective seller. Lila's expertise and sound, clear advice helped me, my wife, and our family through a stressful negotiation with whipsaw emotions and successfully closed with us on the home we will live and love for many years. We will be proud to say we know Lila, we have successfully worked with her, and working with Lila resulted in a successful buyer's transaction.

Lila was responsive and resourceful during the entire process. We really appreciated her going out of her way to resolve issues and make us feel important. She was always there for us and we really appreciated her dedication throughout the sale of our home. We would recommend her to anyone who has a home for sale.

I could not have asked for a smoother experience purchasing our home! Lila did not miss a beat. There was never a delay …always action. Communication was stellar. What a fantastic experience working with Lila. I would recommend her for your next purchase of your home. Thank you Lila!! What a great experience.

Lila is a true professional. There was no doubt we were in competent hands prior to even signing our contract with Lila. Over the past three years we've sold/purchased a total of 4 homes in 3 different states. Talk about stress! Lila by far was the most organized and knowledgeable of all our agents/brokers! She goes the extra mile when needed and gives advice that is right on, ultimately making our process almost stress free! She was so giving of her time and I absolutely loved her gifts along the way. What a classy touch. I highly recommend Lila and feel you'd be hard pressed to find a better person to handle your real estate needs.

Within minutes of meeting Nikki at an open house we knew we found our realtor! She listened to us carefully and understood what we were looking for in our forever home. She kept in continuous contact with us and calmed all of our fears. Anyone would be lucky to have her working on their behalf. Can't rave highly enough. She is absolutely wonderful and she's the kind of person who puts her heart into her work. We adore her! Thanks for everything. Jolie Curtis and Donna Russell

I met Nichole at a Chamber meeting last fall, she introduced herself and that she was with NextHome Picket Fence Realty. I mentioned that my Credit Union has been looking for property to build in Philomath, within a day Nichole came and found my Office and had put together a portfolio of all the available locations in our area. Thanks to Nichole we have purchased a lot and are anxiously waiting for the building permits and application process to be complete. Nichole was very professional, efficient, and pleasant to work with, I highly recommend her and NextHome Picket Fence Realty.
