Eugene's Alternative REALTORS

My wife and I have worked with Tawnya through three separate transactions (two purchases and one sale), and we would highly recommend her to anyone. Tawnya is knowledgeable, attentive to detail, patient, responsive, and friendly. We always looked forward to our meetings with her, and we are absolutely thrilled with the new house she helped us purchase. And we couldn't have asked for a smoother or more stress-free transaction when she helped us sell our starter home. Thank you, Tawnya!

I would highly recommend Tawnya. She helped me navigate the worst market Eugene has ever seen for buyers—and I'm a first-time buyer, no less, which made the process even more strenuous. Tawnya was warm, attentive, and energetic throughout the whole process. What I appreciate most is that her legal training makes her extremely knowledgeable, and she is a down-to-earth person who shares her expertise without coming across as pushy. If the property has visible problems, she will never hesitate to say "don't pursue this place, there are red flags here"—she is extremely honest and transparent. She wants to help the buyer find the best place for their needs, however complicated that process might be, and she is very patient.

Marisa was great. She sent me emails as soon as new properties came on the market, and was always eager to meet me for tours. She took all the stress out of scheduling and paperwork, and was always available to talk to me when I was feeling anxious about my purchase. We wrote 6 offers, because of the crazy market, but she stayed optimistic and wasn’t deterred by rejections, or sales being canceled due to inspections. I felt like she truly had my best interest heart every step of the way.

Tawnya Madsen is by far the best realtor I have ever dealt with for so many reasons. I have worked with her twice in order to find and buy a house, consulted with her several times and also recommended her to friends, who have liked her so much that they in turn recommended her to their son and friends. She has an impressive foundation of legal, procedural and nuts & bolts knowledge regarding residential real estate that is beautifully blended with solid ethics, genuine warm-heartedness and a win-win mediation style. Her professional skills and demeanor are flawless.

What always impresses me the most about Tawnya is that she fully respects your vision of what kind of home you want and need and she carefully works within the financial boundaries that you have determined as appropriate. Your needs are much more important to her than her own commission, a fact that is so truly self-evident in all Tawnya does that it feels rather awkward and superfluous to even mention it. She will be scrupulously honest with you about any situation, even difficult ones, and speak to you about it with kindness and professionalism that never leaves you feeling pressured or confused. Unless there is something absolutely preventing her, she responds to your calls and emails immediately and promptly addresses your concerns or needs. The bottom line is that Tawnya will always go the extra mile to help you and you feel extremely grateful to have her in your corner.

Buying a house is terribly stressful and your life is on hold during the process. Tawnya understands this completely, and she provides you with an anchor within the storm of uncertainty and pressure that is inherent to the buying process. Although my relationship with Tawnya has been exclusively professional up until this point, I count her as a friend and will continue to recommend her without the slightest reservation to anyone looking for a realtor.

Marisa Fox is amazing. She guided my husband and I through our first home purchase every step of the way with, humor, caring, and sincerity. I always felt she was working hard for us. She answered questions, made suggestions, even gave us lists of vendors she had worked with on other sales when we weren't sure who to call. Even on the last day when I had a case of the nerves, she was able to calm me down and make me laugh. Without Marisa we would not have been able to find our forever home. She is truly an asset to the company as well as to our community. We love you Marisa! Thank you so much for all you did for us.

Tawnya knows the Eugene market well, answered calls, texts, and emails promptly, and was always available to show us homes. Since we are still relatively new to the area, it was a bonus that she went with us to the City to ask questions about the property, and helped us get estimates on repairs for an “as is” sale to make sure we knew what we were buying. She was there for us the whole time, right up to the closing. A+ service and a delightful person.

We had the pleasure of working with Pam Haggard for our recent house purchase. I cannot recommend her enough. She was very professional yet approachable and understanding. Our situation was unique because my mother was moving with us. Pam helped us find a home that met all of our needs. We all felt lucky to have found Pam.

Todd is an excellent agent. He made every effort to meet our unique situation (settling an estate while living out of the state) He kept us up to date at every step of the process.
I highly recommend Todd.

Billy Clotere is the best realtor and he is with the best realtor company in our area. I sold 3 houses and bought 1 all using Eugene’s Alternative Realtors. I had no clue what I was doing. I was inexperienced. I was terrified. There was so much to do and I was running in circles. Billy took me from step one. He always made sure I had a next step ready and it was always in order. I would get lost and somehow he knew to come find me and put me back on the right path. I would get frustrated with all of the rules and laws and Billy walked me through step by step. He double triple checked everything. His experience and tenacity saved me from legal battles that I never saw coming. But he did. He sold all of my properties faster than expected and for way more than hoped for. He personalized my experience to me and my very unique situation. Billy asked the right questions. When I had questions he didn’t always have the answer, but he wouldn’t stop searching until he did. I was never left hanging out on my own. Billy was with me from way before start till way after finish. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Billy Clotere at Eugene’s Alternative to anyone buying or selling any real property. Thank you Billy for everything. I could not have done it without you! A year later and your tenacity is still saving me!

Marissa Fox helped us get into the house of our dreams by listening to us and supporting us through the process. She is a fun and lovely person to go through the process with and never made me feel bad for asking questions. It's a crazy time to buy a house, and she made it seem easy.

Tawnya Madsen, of Eugene's Alternative Realtors, is hands-down the best realtor imaginable. She surpassed all of our expectations. She is more than competent (has a law degree along with all her other expertise), prompt, professional, comfortable to work with, and most of all, we had complete faith that she was making the right calls every step of the way!

Pam and Ingvar were outstanding in helping us sell our home!! They were always quick to respond, extremely knowledgeable about the local market and needs of buyers, and highly professional in their listing of the home. They had professional photos of the house with a detailed listing including highlights and a photovideo tour of the home. These types of details really matter when selling a home in the day of the internet where there is easy access to listings. If photos are not good or lack detail buyers will move on to the next listing! Pam and Ingvar also helped organize and coordinate details of the home sale and showings amidst our busy schedules and out of town travel for work and were always so helpful and upbeat. Overall, I cannot recommend them highly enough!!

Pam made the entire selling and buying process very easy for us. I’m positive you won’t find someone who is more passionate about what she does. Absolute 5-star person

The absolute best realtors I’ve ever worked with. Tawnya is an absolute joy and amazing to work with. I cannot recommend them enough.

they are all a very talented group of professional people working here. if you have a job, they will get it done. very friendly & talented and really know the business. I highly recommend you give them a call

They were unable to help me find rentals, but they gave me a list of places that could. Super helpful and friendly!

I really like this site!

Marissa Fox is a terrible and negligent realtor. She is the realtor for my neighbors property and decided to withhold information from the well testing company that it is a shared well before having the well tested. I came home and had no water at my house and was given 0 notice that any testing would be done. This has caused an extreme amount of dirt and sediment to clog up my water lines which have also ruined my appliances. She refuses to accept any responsibility for her negligence and says it is a neighbor dispute. She is representing the seller and was “doing him a favor with maintenance etc.” while he was out of town and she is responsible for this. She said she would have her superior contact me and I have yet to receive a call at all. She also blocked me after I had my father reach out to her to ask her what is to be done to try to fix this disaster she has created. If I could give 0 stars for a rating for her, I would.
