Kromm Real Estate Team at Real Broker

Kromm Real Estate Team at Real Broker Licensed in the state of Oregon Homes are where families are raised, memories are made, and where being comfortable can mean anything you want.

Home is truly where the heart is. Buying and selling real estate can be a daunting and challenging task that for most people is the single greatest purchase of their lives. I am fortunate enough to get to help people every day with their real estate dreams by guiding them with advice and education through the process of buying and selling. Having lived in Oregon well over half of my life I would c

onsider myself a native. Before moving to Central Oregon in 2010 my wife and I lived in Tennessee where new home construction was the family business. Personally, working in both fields of construction and selling new homes gives me an advantage when working with my clients. Completion of advanced training courses has earned designations as a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) and Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) by the National Assn of Realtors. SRES training deals with meeting the needs of maturing Americans when buying, selling, relocating or investing in real estate. ABR courses focus on home buyers’ needs and how to best serve them in the home buying process. I love Central Oregon and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. My passions include playing and coaching in the local hockey community, spending time on the various rivers and lakes with a fly rod in my hand and of course spending quality time with my wife and two young children.

That "new house smell" or a neighborhood with soul?

It’s the question every buyer in Bend eventually asks: Should I go with New Construction or a Resale?

With a New Build (like the ones popping up at Petrosa or Discovery West), you’re getting:
Modern Tech: Smart home systems and peak energy efficiency.
Blank Canvas: No one has ever cooked in that kitchen but you.
Warranty: Peace of mind knowing the roof and HVAC are brand new.

But Resale homes (think Old Mill or Northwest Crossing) have their own magic:
Character: Mature trees, established landscaping, and unique architectural soul.
Prime Locations: Often closer to downtown or the river.
Value: Sometimes more square footage for your dollar, plus the previous owners might have already added the fence and AC!

Insider secret!

In Bend, recreation isn't just a trip to the mountains, it’s right outside your front door. We have endless sports leagues, river access blocks from downtown, and a food truck scene that rivals the best microbrews in the world.

This is just a taste of the Bend lifestyle. Thinking about making the move? Hit that follow button for the inside scoop on living in Central Oregon.

Bend is high desert, less than 12 inches of rain a year and almost 300 days of sunshine. Summers hit the 80’s, winters stay mild, and we get about 27 inches of snow.

But drive 29 minutes to Mt. Bachelor and you’ll find 300+ inches of snow every year. Sunshine at home, powder up the road, that’s Bend.

If you’re starting to explore a move here, this is the vibe.

If you’re used to the 80 mph chaos of an LA freeway or the bumper-to-bumper stress of Seattle, driving in Bend might feel like you’ve accidentally hit the "slow-motion" button.

And honestly? That’s exactly how we like it.

The "Bend Pace" is real, and you see it everywhere, especially on the roads:
The Parkway: While most cities have 65 mph freeways cutting through them, our Parkway tops out at 45 mph. It changes the whole energy of the town.

Neighborhood Vibes: With many residential streets sitting at 20–25 mph, it’s a place where kids can actually play and neighbors actually wave.

The Roundabout Rule: We don't do "stop-and-go" stress here. We flow. (Just remember: Yield to the left!)

Living here teaches you that arriving 2 minutes later isn't a crisis, it's an opportunity to look at the mountains. When you lower the speed limit, you lower the collective blood pressure of the whole community.

Did the slower pace of life take you a while to get used to, or did you embrace the "slow lane" immediately? Let’s hear it in the comments! 👇

What is Real?

Is it a tech company? A business model? Or a community?"

Honestly, it’s all three, but the real "shining stars" are the agents.

I get asked all the time why Real is the fastest-growing publicly traded brokerage in the nation. People think it’s just about the tech, but the tech is just the engine that lets the culture flourish.

The traditional model has you working for the brokerage. Real flipped the script, now, the brokerage platform works for you.

It’s how the most successful agents will operate in the future. The question is: Are you ready to operate that way now?
If you’re curious how these numbers actually look for your specific production level, DM me and let’s run the math.

There’s a reason you see professional runners, cyclists, and triathletes flocking to Bend every year. It isn’t just the views, it’s the altitude.

At roughly 3,623 feet, Bend sits in that "sweet spot" for training.

Here’s the science behind the 'Bend Lung': When you train at altitude, your body has to work harder to deliver oxygen to your muscles because the air is "thinner." Over time, your system becomes more efficient, increasing your red blood cell count.

The Result? When you head down to sea level for a race or a game, you feel like you have a third lung. You’re faster, your endurance is higher, and you can push harder for longer. It’s basically nature’s version of a cheat code.

But be warned: If you just moved here, that first "easy" jog around the Old Mill might leave you gasping! Give your body a couple of weeks to acclimate, drink twice as much water as you think you need, and embrace the burn.

Thinking about moving to Bend? Here’s the truth.

Housing here is one of the most expensive parts of living in Bend. Homes run smaller than what you’ll find in many other parts of the country, a 2,500 sq ft home is considered big, and the yards are even smaller.

But the trade‑off? The Deschutes National Forest is just minutes away.

Understanding this market is a huge part of settling into life here, and that’s why we make these videos. So you know what to expect before you get here.

Big-city folks, prepare to have your minds blown: 🏙️💥

Crossing town in Bend takes all of 15 minutes. No joke.

When you first move here, your brain is still trapped in gridlock mode. You’ll sit awkwardly in your car, 20 minutes early to every single appointment, waiting for the traffic jam that never actually happened.

Less gridlock. More living. That’s the Bend way. ⛰️ 🚲
