Read what past clients have shared about their experience working with Raya Ziegler Real Estate.

If you are reading this you have just won the Real Estate Agent lottery! Raya is truly the REAL ESTATE WHISPERER! We met Raya (sunshine) four years before we were finally able to get our out-of-state home sold – Raya spent two full days with us and our two giant Dobermans showing us the area from Lakeside to Bandon, and taking us through many listings knowing that we couldn’t buy right then, but understanding that we didn’t really know the area and were in Coos Bay to make up our minds about moving here.. Who does that? She stayed in contact for those four years Raya was a tremendous asset with our out-of-state sale when we went through the large nationally known realtors who pretty much treated us like a number and lost interest after about three showings, We drove straight to Raya’s office to look, this time, to BUY! Raya is literally the most energetic, upbeat, and fun person to work with. If she didn’t have an answer, she got one! She didn’t try to up-sell us or show properties that didn’t fit what we wanted, and we asked for a lot of specifics. She kept assuring us that we would find our perfect place on our perfect property, AND in the neighborhood where we wanted to live. THEN SHE DELIVERED EXACTLY THAT, and was impressive negotiating our price. We’ve had 13 real estate deals over the years & NO ONE in the business can deliver like Raya – and she will become a true friend long after closing.. She is a unique, intuitive – and FUN! professional. She isn’t ‘a’ premier real estate agent/broker – she is THE premier Realtor. She did what she promised: she delivered our dream.

Karen & Rick Bartlett

Good morning Raya,

It has been half of a year since you assisted us with finding the beautiful house we now live in.

Although late in coming I would like to thank you very much and commend you on your efforts.

Having needed to relocate to Coos Bay we were on a time frame to find a place to live. The initial places that we looked at were either not suitable or we were outbid immediately.

Just on the verge of giving up and finding a rental, you spotted our house still on the market and we gave it a gander. BOOM! The right one had been found.

Thanks to you I did not give up looking. You kept assuring me that the right house for us would show up and you were absolutely correct!

Again, thank you very much. Although the company I work for will be leaving in July, I will be staying here with a good job and great house in an awesome neighborhood. I do not believe we could have found a better choice.

Sincerely,

Raymond C. Page
Paul & Josie Caronna testimonial

For several years we had been trying to sell our home. We tried three different realtors with no luck. At the end of each listing we received a letter from Raya asking us if we were tired of our home not selling. We always read her letter and she always said she had buyers looking for homes ours. We would toss her letter in the trash and call someone else. When our fourth listing expired we were feeling totally frustrated and another letter arrived from Raya. Out of desperation we said what the heck lets give her a call. We called her and she promptly arrive at our residence, answered all our question and we listed our home with her. Two months later Raya sold our home and we are now living in our dream home at Del Webb Las Vegas. Thanks Raya for making our dreams come true.

First off I would like to apologize to Raya for me not writing this testimonial sooner. I’ve owned my property for about a year now. When I first started looking for a realtor I visited about 10 others and expressed my needs, I would usually get a response of about 3 to 4 listings. Not quite satisfied with there results I kept looking. When I contacted Raya and expressed my needs she responded with 30+ listings. A few days later she contacted me again with a new listing, a little out of my price range but exactly what I wanted. Raya worked very hard for me, the property was a foreclosure “cash only” deal and I could not afford the asking price. She worked with me, bidding on the property at least 6 times. She always kept me updated, and even though I never really thought I would get the property for what I could afford she encouraged me to hang in there. Raya always had a plan so when my offer was accepted I knew it was because of her hard work, even though I feel like I won the lottery. Thank You Very Much Raya!! I am now the proud owner of 40 acres with a house and a huge shop! It is every thing I’ve ever wanted and way more than I ever expected!

I believe life is full of miracles. Raya you have definitely been one of those miracles in my life. My home was on the market for 2 years. I received one of your fliers in the mail and decided to keep it. One year later I decided to give you a try. Two weeks after signing on with you, my house was sold. You truly made the process effortless on my part. You made all the appointments for inspections…the only thing I had to do was sign the paperwork. I am looking forward to buying my new home with you as my realtor. Thank you Raya

Stacy Rose testimonial

I am blessed TWICE by Raya’s services! Not only did she find the ideal house for my special needs, inter generational family, but she found a buyer for my old house. In a challenging housing market, Raya turned my misgivings into hope — and ultimately into thrill when she was able to sell my house at a price I would never imagine the market would bear. Part magician and part genius, Raya is a solution-oriented, hands-on realtor who has been a delight to work with. If you hire Raya as your realtor, get ready to join me in saying, “Thank you, Raya!”

We can’t express what a wonderful job Raya did for us. After the death of my father, we were stuck in a reverse mortgage nightmare. Raya managed to maneuver the endless paperwork following the twists and turns that took several months before finally finding a way for us to save the property that has been in our family since 1963. We are so grateful that she took her time and effort to help us. Without her we would never have succeeded. Thanks Raya!

Joyce Luddington testimonial

We lucked out when Raya became our realtor. She was very patient with us and showed us lots of properties. When we finally chose one, she was on top of all the intricacies of buying this property. She made sure we had legal assistance to help with the purchase. This she did on her own so we would be safe from any further complications that may arrive. We appreciate her honesty and dedication to her profession. She is a knowledgeable and caring PROFESSIONAL.

Thank you, Raya. We love our new home.

I just wanted to tell you Raya Ziegler Real Estate how much I appreciated you. Your support and compassion during Spencer’s illness was very helpful. Your professionalism for the entire time the house was on the market was just right. Thanks you.

Gail Seibert testimonial

Lisa is the best! She was helping me to find the perfect house in Oregon…I live in Ohio. She wore me out with so much looking but after my second trip to Coos Bay she found a property that wasn’t on my list and it turned out to be the perfect place for me. Her knowledge of the area and pricing was very helpful. When I got a little discouraged she told me that the perfect house was out there and we’d find it and we did! Her friendliness helped this stressed out buyer.

Thanks Lisa. I’d recommend Lisa to anyone who needs a great agent. She stays in touch, listens to what you’d like and shows you what she thinks matches your wants. It worked for me and I’m sure she’ll do the same for you. Thanks again, Lisa

I highly recommend Raya! She handles all transactions professionally and makes selling property hassle free.

Raya never tired of my wanting to see ‘just one more’ house until she found the perfect house for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for just the right house in this area. Raya, you ROCK!!!

L. Sanders
Coos Bay

Before we found Raya we spoke to, or left messages for, a number of realtors in the Coos/Douglas counties area without very satisfying results. Raya immediately sent us information on several properties, showed us the one we were most interested in, and a little over 4 weeks later we are in our new home!! Raya has her act together, never wasted a moment of our time, was fun to work with, and was very professional. We couldn’t be more pleased with Raya and will definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a realtor.

Raya Zeigler is a great professional. She was always available to answer any questions, and I appreciated her vast knowledge in real estate. I highly recommend Raya, and hope we’ll do business again.

My experience working with Raya to purchase my home was a delight, she’s very professional yet has the ability to take a stressful situation and make it the most entertaining part of your day.

I was ready to sell my home and was referred to Raya by a friend of mine who bought a house a couple of years ago from her. Raya was able to locate buyers the first week on the market and I had cold hard cash in three weeks time! What more need be said.

David Crane testimonial

Raya Ziegler is an excellent realtor who goes the extra mile to assist her clients.

She was the listing broker for my house in Bandon in which the houses was sold to a buyer in Kansas City. It was a complex sale with both parties out-of-town, and with the buyers requiring numerous repairs prior to the sale, and the disputing payment after they were made.

Raya worked with the contractors for repairs, and effectively handled a difficult situation with the buyers.

My wife and I would recommend Raya as an outstanding realtor without reservation.

Raya Ziegler is an excellent realtor who goes the extra mile to assist her clients.

My wife and I needed to relocate from North Bend to Lane County for health reasons, and were looking for a moderately-priced house. Raya drove us over 200 miles, round trip, on two separate occasions to show us homes she had resourced for us. We found the perfect home and were pleased with all phases of the purchase.

My wife and I would recommend Raya as an outstanding realtor without reservation.
