Introduction for the Home Seller
Thank you for the opportunity to let us represent you in the sale of your home. We think of our clients as individuals
with specific needs. With this in mind, we strive to give you exceptional service. No two real estate transactions are
the same but regardless of your goals we can help you make the informed and educated decisions that best suit your
situation.
We, Jenny and Charles, teamed up as Realtors in 2003. Every year since then we’ve continued to grow and improve
the service and expertise we are able to offer you. In 2010 we incorporated, in part to underscore that real estate is
a business, not a part time hobby. Our current business is made up of more than fifty percent past clients and client
referrals. Earning your repeat business and referrals is our main goal. Our unique team structure allows us to serve the
entire Portland Metro including SWWashington. We have the tools and expertise to guide you through any residential
real estate transaction.

Home Warranty
What is a home warranty?
A home warranty is a service contract that covers the repair or replacement of many of the most frequently occurring breakdowns of home system
components and appliances.
Why do I need a home warranty?
While a home warranty is optional, it is highly recommended. Unexpected repair or replacement costs can easily strain your budget. Plus, finding
a qualified professional to solve your problem can be stressful and inconvenient. A home warranty cannot prevent systems or appliances from
breaking down, but it can help make handling covered repairs or replacements easier and less costly.
Types of coverage
Because all plans differ, you will need to ask specifically what is covered. We are happy to discuss with you the different options and what best fits
your needs.
How do I acquire a home warranty?
A home warranty can be purchased by the buyer on your own, purchased by the seller while their home is on the market, or negotiated during
the sales agreement.

I am a native Oregonian and started my career in lending February 2,
1980. I learned early on that what clients want and certainly deserve is
straight forward honesty about the products that fit their needs and the
process they are entering into. Beyond that I am committed to ensure that
everyone I deal with has price clarity about the cost of doing business with me and I gladly
take the time to help borrowers compare offering from other lenders. While this may sound
simple, our rapidly changing business demands full attention and you can depend on my full
time commitment to overseeing all the details of your next real estate transaction.

My wife and I worked with Jenny to sell our first home and then purchase
a new home. We can’t say enough good things about her and her team.
She is extremely knowledgeable, personable, down to business, and
incredibly generous with her time. When house hunting her expertise
flagged issues with properties we otherwise would not have noticed.
Her team went above and beyond preparing our home for photos and
eventual open house creating a buzz and building momentum for
multiple offers above asking. We highly recommend her.

Sold a Miscellaneous home in 2018 in Goose Hollow, Portland, OR
I worked primarily with Jenny Turner to sell my property. I reside in
another state so it was critical to me to have someone there who could
recommend contractors, etc. and act as my representative. I was also
impressed with the listing 360 tour and floor plan she ordered as part of
the listing. She did an outstanding job and navigated through demands
from an extremely difficult buyer. I would use her again in a heartbeat.

08/13/2017 - Tabitha Stopsen
Bought a Condo home in 2014 in Pearl District, Portland, OR.
Jenny knew from our first meeting what it was that I needed and
wanted. She selected homes that were within this category and then
when I wanted to look at homes out of that scope she gladly showed
me those too. When we went back to the original plan she wasn’t upset
or disappointed - she was happy that we found what I had wanted. Her
knowledge of all the areas, condo property ownership situations etc was
exteodonary! I’ve recommended her to anyone looking for an agent
and will continue to do so ans when I’m ready to sell and move again I’ll
contact her again as I know she will help me find and get what I want!

Oregon Real Estate Agency
Disclosure Pamphlet (1 of 2)
Consumers: This pamphlet describes the legal obligations of real estate licensees in Oregon. Real estate brokers and principal real estate
brokers are required to provide this information to you when they first meet you.
This pamphlet is informational only. Neither the pamphlet nor its delivery to you may be interpreted as evidence of intent to create an
agency relationship between you and a broker or a principal broker.
Real Estate Agency Relationships
An “agency” relationship is a voluntary legal relationship in which a
licensed real estate broker or principal broker (the “agent”) agrees to act
on behalf of a buyer or a seller (the “client”) in a real estate transaction.
Oregon law provides for three types of agency relationships between real
estate agents and their clients:
• Seller’s Agent: Represents the seller only.
• Buyer’s Agent: Represents the buyer only.
• Disclosed Limited Agent: Represents both the buyer and seller,
or multiple buyers who want to purchase the same property.
This can be done only with the written permission of all clients.
The actual agency relationships between the seller, buyer and their agents
in a real estate transaction must be acknowledged at the time an offer to
purchase is made. Please read this pamphlet carefully before entering into
an agency relationship with a real estate agent.
Definition of“Confidential Information”
Generally, licensees must maintain confidential information about their
clients. “Confidential information” is information communicated to a real
estate licensee or the licensee’s agent by the buyer or seller of one to four
residential units regarding the real property transaction, including but
not limited to price, terms, financial qualifications or motivation to buy or
sell.“Confidential information”does not mean information that:
a. The buyer instructs the licensee or the licensee’s agent to
disclose about the buyer to the seller, or the seller instructs the
licensee or the licensee’s agent to disclose about the seller to
the buyer; and
b. The licensee or the licensee’s agent knows or should know
failure to disclose would constitute fraudulent representation.
Duties and Responsibilities of a Seller’s Agent
Under a written listing agreement to sell
property, an agent represents only the seller
unless the seller agrees in writing to allow the
agent to also represent the buyer.
An agent who represents only the seller owes
the following affirmative duties to the seller,
the other parties and the other parties’ agents
involved in a real estate transaction:
1. To deal honestly and in good faith;
2. To present all written offers, notices
and other communications to and
from the parties in a timely manner
without regard to whether the
property is subject to a contract for
sale or the buyer is already a party to a
contract to purchase; and
3. To disclose material facts known by
the agent and not apparent or readily
ascertainable to a party.
A seller’s agent owes the seller the following
affirmative duties:
1. To exercise reasonable care and
diligence;
2. To account in a timely manner for
money and property received from or
on behalf of the seller;
3. To be loyal to the seller by not taking
action that is adverse or detrimental
to the seller’s interest in a transaction;
4. To disclose in a timely manner to the
seller any conflict of interest, existing
or contemplated;
5. To advise the seller to seek expert
advice on matters related to the
transaction that are beyond the
agent’s expertise;
6. To maintain confidential information
from or about the seller except
under subpoena or court order,
even after termination of the agency
relationship; and
7. Unless agreed otherwise in writing, to
make a continuous, good faith effort
to find a buyer for the property, except
that a seller’s agent is not required to
seek additional offers to purchase the
property while the property is subject
to a contract for sale.
None of these affirmative duties of an agent may
be waived, except (7).The affirmative duty listed
in (7) can only be waived by written agreement
between seller and agent.
Under Oregon law, a seller’s agent may show
properties owned by another seller to a
prospective buyer and may list competing
properties for sale without breaching any
affirmative duty to the seller.
Unless agreed to in writing, an agent has no
duty to investigate matters that are outside the
scope of the agent’s expertise, including but
not limited to investigation of the condition
of property, the legal status of the title or the
seller’s past conformance with law.

compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part,
from the seller or through the seller’s agent.
An agent who represents only the buyer owes the following
affirmative duties to the buyer, the other parties and the
other parties’agents involved in a real estate transaction:
1. To deal honestly and in good faith;

communications to and from the parties in a
timely manner without regard to whether the

duties:

property received from or on behalf of the buyer;

continuous, good faith effort to find property
for the buyer, except that a buyer’s agent is not
required to seek additional properties for the
buyer while the buyer is subject to a contract for
purchase.
None of these affirmative duties of an agent may be
waived, except (7).The affirmative duty listed in (7) can only
be waived by written agreement between seller and agent.
Under Oregon law, a buyer’s agent may show properties in
which the buyer is interested to other prospective buyers
without breaching an affirmative duty to the buyer.
Unless agreed to in writing, an agent has no duty to
investigate matters that are outside the scope of the
agent’s expertise, including but not limited to investigation
of the condition of property, the legal status of the title or
the seller’s past conformance with law.
Duties and Responsibilities of an Agent Who Represents More than
One Client in a Transaction
One agent may represent both the seller and the buyer in the same transaction,
or multiple buyers who want to purchase the same property, only under a written
“Disclosed Limited Agency Agreement”signed by the seller and buyer(s).
Disclosed Limited Agents have the following duties to their clients:
1. To the seller, the duties listed above for a seller’s agent;
2. To the buyer, the duties listed above for a buyer’s agent; and
3. To both buyer and seller, except with express written permission of the
respective person, the duty not to disclose to the other person:
a. That the seller will accept a price lower or terms less favorable than
the listing price or terms;
b. That the buyer will pay a price greater or terms more favorable than
the offering price or terms; or
c. Confidential information as defined above.
Unless agreed to in writing, an agent has no duty to investigate matters that are
outside the scope of the agent’s expertise.
When different agents associated with the same principal broker (a real estate
licensee who supervises other agents) establish agency relationships with
different parties to the same transaction, only the principal broker will act as a
Disclosed Limited Agent for both the buyer and seller. The other agents continue
to represent only the party with whom the agents have already established an
agency relationship unless all parties agree otherwise in writing. The principal real
estate broker and the real estate licensees representing either seller or buyer shall
owe the following duties to the seller and buyer:
1. To disclose a conflict of interest in writing to all parties;
2. To take no action that is adverse or detrimental to either party’s interest
in the transaction; and
3. To obey the lawful instructions of both parties.
No matter whom they represent, an agent must disclose information the agent
knows or should know that failure to disclose would constitute fraudulent
misrepresentation.
You
are encouraged
to discuss the above
information with the licensee
delivering this pamphlet to you. If
you intend for that licensee, or any other
Oregon real estate licensee, to represent you
as a Seller’s Agent, Buyer’s Agent, or Disclosed
Limited Agent, you should have a specific
discussion with the agent about the nature and
scope of the agency relationship. Whether
you are a buyer or seller, you cannot make a
licensee your agent without the licensee’s
knowledge and consent, and an agent
cannot make you a client without
your knowledge and
consent.

the same property does not in and of itself constitute action
that is adverse or detrimental to the buyer or create a conflict
of interest.

SECTION 11: INTERPRETATION.
The duties under this chapter are statutory duties and not fiduciary duties.
This chapter supersedes the fiduciary duties of an agent to a principal
under the common law. The common law continues to apply to the
parties in all other respects. This chapter does not affect the duties of a
broker while engaging in the authorized or unauthorized practice of law
as determined by the courts of this state. This chapter shall be construed
broadly.
SECTION 12: SHORT SALE.
When the seller of owner-occupied residential real property enters into
a listing agreement with a real estate firm where the proceeds from the
sale may be insufficient to cover the costs at closing, it is the responsibility
of the real estate firm to disclose to the seller in writing that the decision
by any beneficiary or mortgagee, or its assignees, to release its interest
in the real property, for less than the amount the borrower owes, does
not automatically relieve the seller of the obligation to pay any debt or
costs remaining at closing, including fees such as the real estate firm’s
commission.
SECTION 9: VICARIOUS LIABILITY.
(1) A principal is not liable for an act, error, or omission by an agent or
subagent of the principal arising out of an agency relationship:
(a) Unless the principal participated in or authorized the act, error,
or omission; or
(b) Except to the extent that:
(I) the principal benefited from the act, error, or omission; and
(II) the court determines that it is highly probable that the
claimant would be unable to enforce a judgment against
the agent or subagent.
(2) A broker is not liable for an act, error, or omission of a subagent
under this chapter, unless that broker participated in or authorized
the act, error, or omission. This subsection does not limit the liability
of a firm for an act, error, or omission by a broker licensed to the
firm.
SECTION 10: IMPUTED KNOWLEDGE AND NOTICE.
(1) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, a principal does not have
knowledge or notice of any facts known by an agent or subagent of
the principal that are not actually known by the principal.
(2) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, a broker does not have
knowledge or notice of any facts known by a subagent that are not
actually known by the broker. This subsection does not limit the
knowledge imputed to the designated broker or any managing
broker responsible for the supervision of the broker of any facts
known by the broker.
