Ann Kieran is one of the finest agents I've ever encountered. I've bought and sold six homes in my lifetime--and working with Ann was one of the more educational and enjoyable experiences of my forty years of buying and selling homes. First and foremost is her character. She is intelligent, a good listener and incredibly ethical. These are admirable traits. Every time we encountered one another--there was an interesting exchange and steps were always taken in the right direction towards locating my new home. Her knowledge of the Eugene area and environs was also vital to her value as an agent. She knew every street--every area--what to look for and what to avoid. Ann saved me hours and hours as she guided me around various neighborhoods and sub-divisions. Also, in that she is a long time resident of Eugene, her background data served invaluable in revealing where to purchase and why. Ann is the consummate real estate pro. Her communicative and negotiating skills are top notch. Her candor is remarkable and her spirit is always uplifting. I recommend her without reservation to anyone interested in buying or selling a home in Eugene and the surrounding areas.
