We had the pleasure of working with Molly to find our dream home in Bend in 2024. We were pretty specific in what we wanted and not in a hurry to buy. Molly was very patient with us, only bringing us properties that fit our parameters. She is exceptionally hard working with tremendous attention to detail and was always willing to go the extra mile for us, even after the sale is closed. In fact, she found a potential seller with the perfect house for us and sealed the deal off-market! Molly is a terrific communicator and always quick to respond to inquiries. Her knowledge of the Bend market is excellent and she is well connected with other agents in the area. Molly was a joy to work with thanks to her friendly and easy-going nature. We couldn't be happier with our new home and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Molly to others for their home buying or selling needs. Laurie and Tom Dunn

Molly did an outstanding job helping us sell our property in Bend. We live out of town and had to do a lot of renovations on our rental home before selling it. Molly was right there, even willing to arrange people to come out and do work on the property. She helped us with all aspects of the process. Would highly recommend Molly for any real estate needs.

Molly was absolutely fantastic to work with in helping us sell our father's home in Bend after he passed away this summer. As we do not live in Bend, we needed a realtor who knows the local market and has connections to many resources that we would not have known about. Molly is warm, friendly, caring yet very professional and helped us through every step of the process. She went above and beyond to get the house prepared for selling. We needed the house to sell quickly and because of Molly's experience and expertise, the house sold after only two days on the market to a solid buyer. We highly recommend Molly Jo Sommer to anyone looking for a top- notch realtor in the Bend area.

Molly was a great realtor to work with. She was extremely thorough and consistent providing information on a regular basis. We look at many properties over a period of time. Molly was very insightful in showing me a variety of neighborhoods that helped me get a better understanding of Bend. Ultimately,I purchased a home and Molly was critical in the process. An offer fell through from a potential buyer and Molly alerted me right away so that we could make a move. Without her, I would have lost valuable time and potentially the home. Molly was patient with me throughout the entire search. I would highly recommend Molly to anyone considering buying a home in Bend

"Buying and selling a home (and moving to a new community) are near the top of life’s most stressful events. Having Molly Jo Sommer walk us through all of the required details made the process both manageable and enjoyable. She is absolutely the best realtor we have ever encountered. Her attention to detail, knowledge of both the process and the community were invaluable. We highly recommend her!!"

My husband and I were in the process of moving to Central Oregon and were coming from out of state. We had absolutely no idea who to contact, but thanks to our seller’s agent in our former home area, we were connected with Molly. Molly worked with us over the phone before we arrived, got us set up to receive emailed listings, and patiently waited until we were both available and in Oregon to physically view homes. She was flexible, open-minded and truly wanted us to find what we were looking for in our new home, rather than trying to force anything on us.
In the crazy current market, Molly patiently showed us many, many homes over a very short time-span. When we finally found our home, the process had a lot of highs and lows and at times, we weren’t even sure the sale would go through; but ultimately, we ended up with the right house for us, at the price we wanted to pay. Molly went above and beyond to make sure the sale happened and went far above our expectations of a real estate agent, including doing extra research (even for homes we weren’t buying or when we had questions), as well as performing physical labor when there was work that needed to be done in order to get the loan closed. She even made local recommendations for various needs to help us find our way around Bend.
Molly is bright, tenacious (she keeps on task until the job is done), kind, considerate and everyone we worked with said they would want to work with her again. We would highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for a great person to find their next home and would absolutely work with her again if/when the need arises.

Molly gave me the best experience I've ever had in real estate in my life. I couldn't be happier. She was willing to go to the next level to help me find the right home for what I needed, and at at time when the market was insane. Houses were going for $100K+ over the asking price and there was a buying frenzy, I was getting discouraged and was ready to give up and rent for a year. But she persistently kept looking until she found me my dream home. I've owned 4 homes prior to this and my father was a realtor for over 30 years, so I'm familiar with the business of buying and selling homes. Molly was professional, hard working, listened to what I was looking for, and didn't stop until she found it. I highly recommend her.

Molly is the BEST! After putting up with us for a YEAR and showing us countless properties (sometimes virtually) we finally found our dream home in Bend! She was a dream to work with and we are thrilled to have made a friend in the process! Having worked in real estate myself for several years in NC, I have a real appreciation for what goes into a smooth real estate transaction. Molly worked tirelessly for us and we are beyond grateful for all of her hard work!!!

The global pandemic was not the best time to be looking for a home in Bend: inflated prices, surplus buyers, and low inventory. We were about to give up when we met Molly Jo at an open house.
When we found a property that was perfect for us, we learned there were other buyers interested, and a contract had been submitted. Molly Jo helped us quickly assemble a competitive offer. After some negotiating and excellent advice from Molly Jo, we were able to bring our two year search to a happy conclusion.
This was our first home purchase in Oregon and Molly Jo guided us through the closing process. She kept us informed on inspections, repairs, and local rules and regulations. She was there when we signed our contract to answer any last minute questions. Even after closing, she quickly addressed the additional issues we discovered.
Buying a home can be intimidating and it's important to have an agent who will be an advocate throughout the entire process. Sitting in our home today, we couldn't be happier and have no doubt that we wouldn't be here without the efforts of Molly Jo.
