My husband and I moved here practically sight unseen for a job during the height of the pandemic. Melissa and Bend Relocation Services made the transition and learning about our new city very simple. She was amazing and helpful and answered all of my crazy questions. We really appreciate her time. We love our new home and she helped make that come true. Please giver her a chance to help you.
Melissa runs a quality service. She was very helpful to us in getting some options that met almost all of our needs/requirements. She was clear and easy to communicate with and we feel that she truly made our move a little bit less stressful.
Melissa saved us after months of frustration. We had been looking to rent as we wait for our build. The rental market is so competitive and we had no idea how bad until we were in need. She spent time getting to know us and what was important to our family. Again, we had been trying for months to find a rental, and she delivered in less than a week!! With a home that exceeded our expectations. After securing our rental and then talking to our rental company, we found that Melissa is very respected in the community. Brokers, agents, and rental companies all go to her to find renters. If you want first choice on great properties then Melissa is for you!!! Thank you Melissa for helping us find a home!!
I cannot recommend working with Bend Relocation Services enough! A friend told us about their experience with Melissa and from the very start I knew we were in great hands. She found us a dream rental, in a dream location, under budget and within 2 weeks of our initial conversation. She took so much time to discuss our wish list and goals and ensured that she could find something we would love! It was seamless, we cannot thank you enough Melissa!
Melissa and team have been a fantastic resource for us during our move. A wealth of knowledge and hard-working. They’ve gone above and beyond. Thanks so much, Melissa.
Melissa helped me and family find a great rental quickly. She showed us around town and was really helpful getting things set up from across the country. We absolutely recommend her to anyone needing help with finding a place and becoming familiar with beautiful Bend!
This “service” was a BIG waste of money. Initially my husband and I were excited to learn that there was a service that could assist us in our relocation to Bend and could potentially offer more housing options than what we were finding on our own, unfortunately it felt pretty “scam-ish” immediately after paying. Melissa gave us a quick 15 minute phone call for our consultation (though advertised on the website as a 45-60 min consultation).. before ending the call Melissa promised she would be sending multiple properties within the hour, this NEVER happened. We had clearly stated we were in need of a place as early as June 1 and no later than mid-June, so the first listing she sent us was available in July. The second listing she sent we went ahead and applied for it and got denied due to a felony charge my husband had from 10 years ago. Rather than providing us with the proper information about renting and homeowner guidelines etc., she dropped us from her services altogether stating she had been “blindsided” by his record.. (Maybe that full consultation would’ve been handy?) because honestly, WE were the ones blindsided that we were denied for this.The back and forth emails that followed were very unprofessional and avoidant, stating that she would be keeping our $1000 (when literally doing zero service for us). She later followed up to say she spent a day calling around and no one would look past his 10 year old charge and there was nothing left to do… within a week I was approved for three different properties all on my own.Different states have different renting guidelines, we are both working professionals and have never had an issue renting a place. As a relocation agent providing that type of information would surely be valuable.
It was really fun to tour around Bend with Melissa. We learn the history, fun facts, great restaurants around the town. If you are moving to bend, she will be the go-to person I recommend.
A global pandemic did not change our plans to move forward with a smart retirement and relocation strategy. My husband and I had never secured a rental, sight unseen before. Two dogs and a cat were a part of the deal, as were our rather restricting space requirements. Melissa was extremely prepared to help us find the right neighborhoods from the get go. She assigned us homework and asked for lot of notes on what we did and didnt like. This got us pointed in the right direction, and on the same page. She is very well connected and delivered well beyond the promised deliverable.
Melissa made remotely finding a quality home in Bend an effortless experience. She totally understood what was best for our family and we eventually found the perfect home, in the perfect part of town, ahead of schedule.
The assistance Melissa provided with finding me housing was Beyond helpful. For me personally it was crucial! I am SO so grateful!!!
My husband and I looked unsuccessfully for a rental in Bend for 2 months. We were moving from Vermont to Bend with 2 large dogs. From our first conversation with Melissa, we felt comfortable. She took the time to get to know us, and listened carefully to who we were and to what was important to us. Melissa is friendly and outgoing. She was our advocate throughout the entire process and followed up on any and all concerns, even after we moved into our rental. We so appreciated Melissa’s hard work and diligence in getting the job done and will always be grateful to her. She is quite an awesome person, compassionate and kind, with a great sense of humor. Melissa and Bend Relocation Services are the BEST!
Melissa is wonderful and very helpful to any clients we refer her way. Very professional and responsive, 100% recommend.
Took an entire month of multiple phonecalls, emails and texts just to be turned down because our situation wasnt easy. Would have been nice to have been told as much without the month of effort trying to get a response from this company. We got what we were looking for the following week sans the $1000 fee for this companys help, just would have been nice to not have wasted so much time and effort just to get a response. Definitely a service for the ultra wealthy and not the hundreds of working class families trying to get a roof over their heads in Bend. Apparently placing 3 dogs (one is 5 pounds) in a home under $2000 in Bend is impossible, but honestly I think its just hard and there are easier clients to help for the same amount of money.
Melissa was responsive and really helpful on finding me a place to live for the second time. She work really hard on finding the right place for me, my fiancé and my puppy which in bend oregon is hard to find a place that allows dogs even tho Bend is supposedly pet friendly town 🤷🏽♂️.Having her help gave me all this different options with out having to constantly be on my phone/computer to find the latest post from property management companies and allowing me to focus on my day to day chores.I didn’t even know that this kind of service existed and I’m soo happy I found her to help me through this process.Trust me IT IS WORTH IT a I recommend this to anyone and also she is a really nice person that actually cares about the satisfaction of her clients and enjoys that she is able to help during stressful times for all of us.I have and always sent people to her to get the help that they need.
Being from out of state, finding a rental in Bend seemed to be impossible. Melissa helped us quickly find a home that met all of our needs and more. She spent a lot of time getting to know what was important to us and was super quick to respond and communicative. Cannot recommend working with her enough!
Our family moved to Bend from Seattle in May. Our lives were busy, we have a toddler, and then Covid hit. Things were shutting down and there were so many unknowns. Our plans to fly down to look at rentals didn’t seem like a great idea. We were stressed out. We hired Bend Relocation Services and they were worth every penny! Melissa worked quickly to find us a great place. She took into account our budget, needs, and lifestyle. Melissa FaceTimed us from the first property and it was perfect for our family. We signed a lease sight unseen. We have two cats and were worried that would be a huge challenge. It would have been- but she worked her magic and convinced the owner to bend on the no pets. We are so thankful!! We love the house and neighborhood. Highly recommend this company!
Melissa and team are fantastic! I own a property management company and have worked with Melissa and crew with many of our rentals. We try our best to help make a moving experience easy on tenants but seeing how much easier it is for folks moving here when they have Melissa helping them is like night and day.Not only is she fabulous to work with, but she brings us fantastic tenants! I have seen her go above and beyond her call of duty to help her clients the best homes. Shes incredibly dedicated to her work, super knowledgeable about the area and impresses me every time I get the chance to work with her.
Bend Relocation Services performs exceptional concierge services to home owners wishing to lease their personal, vacation or investment properties to folks relocating to Bend. Melissa and Fernando handle EVERYTHING, including matching a prospective tenant to your home, helping turn over the home including coordinating repairs and maintenance, organizing furnishings, putting items in storage or for sale, and literally getting the home happily lived in by your new tenant. I could not have done this without Bend Relocation Services! They took over all tasks that I did not have time or the contacts to make happen efficiently, professionally and affordably. Thank you Bend Relocation Services!
My family and I needed to find a home to rent in Bend on a very short timeline, with little to no knowledge of the area.An acquaintance had recommended Bend Relocation services to help us with our search, as we were in another state, and wouldn’t have time for a trip to tour properties on our own.We called Melissa, and she was able to very quickly ascertain our housing needs and preferences, and take us on property tours remotely, via FaceTime. She was friendly, paid close attention to our feedback, and made the entire search experience go from stressful to enjoyable.When we arrived in Bend 3 weeks later, instead of having an awkward stay in temporary housing while we scoped out properties in a strange new place, we were able to pull right into the driveway of our new awesome home. Easy peasy.The experience was so helpful, that we now use Bend Relocation Services for all of our company’s new hires from other states.
Moving your family of four to a new state is hard enough, add in a pandemic, a puppy and a crazy housing market and you have the makings for a very stressful time! When is was suggested that I work with Melissa I thought we had a shot at figuring things out, and when I actually talked to Melissa over the phone I knew we could make the move happen!Melissa not only worked tirelessly finding us a house that would work for our family (think schools, puppy, space, commute) she also alleviated the stress and worry for me. She told me early on to focus on getting my kids situated and make the move fun for them. Knowing that our housing was in Melissas capable hands made me able to do just that.I would highly recommend working with Melissa at Bend Relocation Services if you find yourself moving here. She is professional, kind, resourceful and very fun to work with!
In looking for someone to help us sell our home and buy our next one, trust and comfort meant everything. Its, as you are likely experiencing, a massive decision full of stress, anxiety and uncertainty. We really wanted someone who not only made us feel confident and empowered in the process, but also knew A - how to get the right buyers for our home and B - what to look for in our next home. Holly Perzynski excelled at both. She was always there when we needed, had great ideas and phenomenal taste. But above all, she brought us tremendous comfort in what can be a super stressful process. I cant recommend Holly enough. We will 100% work with her again!
So helpful in our relocation especially since we could not be in Bend to do the viewings! Melissa is knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience easy.
Melissa was invaluable in helping me find the right house and neighborhood. She was patient, pleasant to work with, and exceptionally generous with her deep knowledge about the town. Engaging her services was a very good investment!
Melissa is amazing!! Finding and securing rentals in Bend Oregon is not easy. Plus we were moving from out of state and trying to do it remotely. Thank God we went with Bend Relocation Services and had Melissa help us. My only regret is not signing up with her sooner. Not only did Melissa help us find a home to rent, but she has been helpful in other aspects with our move. She truly will do whatever she can to help the transition to Bend a good one. I highly recommend her to everyone!!!
My wife and I initially contacted Melissa about three months prior to having to move from Central CA to Bend, after realizing it was going to be extremely challenging to find a house to rent that would meet our requirements- family of four, three pets, desired general location, etc. We were also looking at the potential of a heavy time/expense burden because of trip(s) that would be necessary between CA and OR (not to mention move logistics, services, contacts, etc) Melissa not only alleviated the major headache we were facing, but actually turned it into an enjoyable experience. She represented us professionally, diligently and with complete candor/honesty every step of the way. Not only do we estimate that her service saved us upwards of $800-$900, but we made a wonderful friend along the way.
Melissa was so great!! She worked quickly under a time crunch and got us into a great apartment in a wonderful neighborhood. We moved in from out of state without coming to Bend prior to our move. Melissa worked with us on our housing preferences and helped us through a few hurdles I do not believe we would have made it through with out her. I would give anyone moving to Bend a recommendation to use her services.
Melissa made our move painless and stress free! She found us the perfect home and even stored one of our cars for us for a week until we made it into town. It saved us money in the end because we were able to move into our dream rental without paying for another trip out to search for a rental (which we might not have even found). I would recommend this service highly to anyone moving to Bend!
We hired Bend Relocation Services and inside of five weeks Melissa found our family the perfect home to lease in the area we were looking to be in. Melissas tenacity and relationships with management companies helped us get the home we needed for our move to Bend. If I had tried to do this on my own it would have cost me far more and wasted considerable time. Best money ever spent during my relocation to Bend!Thank you,The Burkhardt Family
Melissa was completely amazing! We had decided a year in advance to move to Bend after much research into the town, crime rates, school performance ect and decided this is where we wanted to raise our two children.Due to little to no credit history we had a terrible time finding a place to live before we got down here.About a month prior to moving we decided to give Bend Relocation Services a try. I spoke to Melissa a couple of time to give details on person lives/files etc what we expected in a rental and she IMMEDIATELY came back with multiple choices. She helped explain circumstances to our current landlord and got us into a beautiful area on the West Side of town.Thank you for being so amazing. This town has been a huge blessing for me and my family.
To anyone looking to move to Bend, I highly recommend Melissa with Bend Relocation Services. She was able to conduct a walk through for me in a house that my family and I loved with a local rental company and even FaceTimed me while she was there. Without her, we wouldn’t have been able to rent this house. Melissa is so kind and accommodating and has been such a pleasure to work with. Her services are priceless!
We are really grateful for the help we received from Melissa. Moving in general can be very difficult and for us crossing the ocean to move from Hawaii to Oregon was scary. She took a lot of the stress of finding a home off of us all the while being patient with our constant worry and questions. We recommend her services to all who need a little or a lot of help relocating. Aloha!
Best place to call if you are ever thinking about moving to bend.
I tell everyone that Melissa was better than a husband. :) As a single mom with two kids moving from Seattle, Bend Relocation Services saved my sanity. Melissa guided me through neighborhoods, set me up with school tours and once we narrowed down an area, was on it helping me find a rental. When we found the perfect one, we did a video walk through and she handled the logistics on site with applications and fees. I couldnt have made this move so gracefully without the help of Bend Relocation Services. When I panicked about the slim rental market, she calmed me down. When I panicked about everything, she calmed me down. If you are thinking about moving to Bend, hiring Bend Relocation Services will help you land gently.
Melissa is great to work with and has a lot of contacts around town. definitely recommend working with to find a home in busy Central Oregon where availability is super low.
Melissa was wonderful in helping us secure a rental in Bend. We didnt even have to be there. She is reliable, friendly and exceptional in what she does. I highly recommend her services
Melissa made what otherwise would have been a very stressful, time consuming, and daunting experience a breeze! She was very communicative and quickly figured out what I really wanted - even though I wasnt totally sure for myself what I wanted. She found me an awesome place in an incredible location with no hassle. I definitely recommend using Bend Relocation Services for your relocation to Bend!
Melissa with Bend Relocation Services is AMAZING! She is professional, and so easy to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to relocate to the Bend area.
We called Melissa at Bend Relocation Services when we were a couple months out from relocating to the Bend area from South Carolina. We were planning on flying in for a weekend and securing a rental, but quickly realized that would be difficult to find a home quickly in the current market. We called Melissa and were quickly impressed with her friendliness combined with her knowledge and the confidence that she would find our family of 5 (plus 2 indoor dogs!) a home. We are not the normal family looking to relocate to Bend, as we enjoy being further away from town and have a small dairy goat farm we were hoping to bring with us. Within two weeks of hiring her, Melissa had found us the absolute perfect rental home and we could not be happier! Coming from across the country and moving to a home sight unseen (other than pictures and a FaceTime tour), we should have been much more stressed; however, working with Melissa put our minds at ease. I would highly recommend Bend Relocation Services to anyone looking to find a rental home in the Bend area!
Melissa is not only highly knowledgeable but sympathetic and personable as well. She understood the urgency of our move and went above and beyond to help.
Friendly, helpful and efficient. Melissa helped secure a property for us, which is not easy in Bend when coming from out of state. She delivered as promised and we are so thankful.
I have to give the credit of finding Melissa to my wife. There.....I said it. Why would you want to hire Melissa? I’ll keep it short and simple. She is an aggressive go getter. She will find you what you want. She has access to a market that out of towners will NEVER have. She is a great listener. Her kids are smart. Don’t think twice. Nuff said.
My husband & I moved from MO to Bend about a year ago and Melissa made the experience incredibly easy! I couldnt imagine going through a move like this without her help!!
The best in Central Oregon!
