Buying a home in Florence
A focused search starts with how you plan to use the home. Share your budget, timing, preferred setting, and the services or destinations you want nearby.
Melissa can help you compare Old Town, beach-area properties, Glenada, established communities, and homes around the lakes. Once you identify a property, the conversation becomes more specific: condition, comparable sales, financing, insurance questions, inspections, and the terms of an offer.
Selling a Florence property
Your pricing and preparation plan should reflect the property itself and the buyers likely to consider it. Start with relevant comparable sales, current competition, condition, and any features that need a clear explanation.
Melissa can discuss the work to complete before listing, the information buyers will need, the marketing approach, and your preferred timeline. For a move that involves selling and buying, she can help coordinate the real estate steps on both sides.
Start with a conversation
For buyers, share the homes or areas that interest you and the priorities behind them. For sellers, begin with the property address, your timing, and any questions about preparation or value.
You don’t need to have every decision made before calling. An initial conversation can help identify the next useful step.

What clients say
“Team Burke far surpassed every expectation marketing our home and 16-acre property. Every promise was kept. They were available without exception — and the house sold in less than 30 days.”
Lane County seller · Acreage · Eugene
“The well, the septic, and the driveway were the actual house. Cheyenne already knew which questions to ask before we fell in love with the gate.”
Acreage buyers · Lane County
“First house, first offer, first inspection. Shawna explained every step the way a good teacher would — clearly, and without making us feel behind.”
First-time buyers · Springfield
“Samantha staged so the photos looked like the house we actually lived in — not a hotel, not a storage unit. The first weekend proved it.”
Listing sellers · Eugene
“We moved from Florence and needed someone who understood both the coast file and the Eugene close. Melissa already knew how title would behave.”
Coast-to-valley buyers · Florence to Eugene
“We have bought and sold houses in different states, but Jon impressed us the most. He made sure we fixed what needed fixing before it hit the market. The house sold within a week.”
