We know we date ourselves by saying this, but in our line of work, experience matters. As Erika Morris of Morris Properties notes in her review, knowing how to handle a transaction when it gets complicated and, "without missing a beat," comes with many years of experience, and Team Ward, doing business as The WE Team, is honored to have 70 years of combined experience.

Thank you, Erika, for entrusting us with your clients and for taking the time to share such a wonderful review.

Erika's full review is as follows:

"As a real estate Principal Broker with my own brokerage, I've worked with a lot of title and escrow officers over the years — but Yvonne Ward and her team are in a league of their own. I trust them with nearly every transaction I close, and that trust has been earned time and time again. What sets them apart isn't just their accuracy and attention to detail (though that alone is invaluable in this business) — it's how they handle the tough moments. When a deal gets complicated or a deadline is approaching quickly, they completely manage the situation. Calmly, thoroughly, and without missing a beat. My clients consistently feel at ease throughout the closing process, and that's a direct reflection of how Yvonne and her team communicate. They're responsive, proactive, and always make sure everyone involved knows exactly where things stand. If you're a fellow real estate professional in Central Oregon looking for a title and escrow partner you can genuinely rely on, look no further. They've made me look good more times than I can count, and I wouldn't have it any other way."

Protecting your home during fire season starts from the ground up. In Bend, creating a Firewise landscape often means reducing the amount of combustible material near your foundation. The City of Bend's Turf Replacement Program is a perfect way to get started and is now in effect for 2026 (as of April 1).

By trading water-thirsty grass for drought-tolerant, low-profile xeriscaping, you aren’t just saving on your water bill; you’re creating a leaner, greener defensible space that helps protect your property from embers.

June numbers are in, and buyers picked up a little leverage. Deschutes County median list price ticked up to $774,999, but 41% of homes took a price reduction last month, up from 39% in May. Homes are sitting a bit longer too, with a median of 56 days on the market. Median rent is holding at $2,595.

June is National Homeownership Month, and we want to start it off with a note to anyone even considering buying their first home.

You do not have to know everything before you sit down at the closing table. That is what we are here for. The questions you are nervous to ask are the ones we hear every day.

A couple of things we wish every first-time buyer knew:
Do not open a new credit card, finance furniture, or change jobs while you are under contract.
Anything that moves your credit can move your loan.
Closing costs are real and separate from your down payment. Save for both.

Many homebuyers are weighing whether to lock in a mortgage rate now or wait for one to drop. Realtors who can walk clients through both sides of that decision bring real value to the conversation.

Most title companies offer tools and apps that model these scenarios side-by-side. If you want to know which resources are available to support your buyers, reach out. Yvonne and Sheena are always happy to help you find the right one.

Thank you, Rob, for your trust and generous words! It is an honor to work alongside such an outstanding professional.

With May being Wildfire Awareness Month, now is the time to chat with your clients about the 'Immediate Zone.' Managing the first 5 feet of a property isn't just about code compliance; it’s about peace of mind for the next family moving in.
