BUYER SERVICES

Using Curtis Irving Realty Group to Buy Your Next Property

            Hello, my name is Curtis Irving.  After graduating from the University of Oregon in Business Administration in 1971, I started working as a property manager.  I started in real estate sales, here in Eugene, in 1972 and opened my own company in 1975 at the age of 26.  We very quickly grew to one of the area’s top 5 companies by 1977. In 1984 we affiliated with Coldwell Banker and stayed with them until December of 2007 when. after operating the company successfully for over 32 years, I decided to close that company. 

Now I list and sell real estate full time as a broker.

        Thank you for your inquiry about using me and my team help you in the process of buying your new home. Since I have been in real estate in the Eugene/Springfield area for over 35 years, I know this market very well.  My goal is to help you make a well informed decision about the property you buy. The home buying process has become pretty complicated over the last several years so please let us know if you have questions.

        My job is to help you get the property you want at a fair market price, to protect your confidentiality and to always put your interests first.

      Here is a little information about how we work with our buyer clients in finding them a new property.  First and foremost, buying a new home should be an exciting and pleasurable experience. I have specifically designed our approach in helping our buyers to insure the positive outcome we all want.  To be sure we do not miss showing you a property that comes onto the market we will put your personal search information into our computer system.  The computer will alerted us immediately when a new listing comes on the market that should be considered for you.

        We guarantee you will be happy with our service since most of our business comes from referrals and that only happens when our clients are happy with the job we do for them.  We receive nearly 80% of our clients through referrals and repeat business. Simply stated,

We will help you find and buy the property that BEST meets your needs.

Thank you for working with me and my team in helping you buy your next property.   Curtis Irving
