Even before I became actively interested in purchasing a property in Eugene, a relative recommended I get in touch with Xander Taylor just to get a feel for the city. They had been very pleased with Xander’s help in finding a property for their son. I’ve been grateful ever since for that excellent recommendation.

Not only did Xander spend hours showing my wife and I around town, explaining the plusses and minuses of the various areas, but he kept in touch after we left. I discovered he had developed a very accurate feel for the attributes of my ideal house and had incorporated this ideal into his scan. I always had the feeling he was looking out for my interests.

It was through Xander’s intuition that we discovered our future home. He knew the property, he knew the neighborhood, he knew us, and he recognized the fit. Once we made the decision to bid on the property, he deftly guided us through the process, skillfully suggesting minor tweaks to our bid which proved to be the winning touch.

I can without reservation recommend Xander as a realtor of integrity and quality. Plus, he’s just a nice guy!

Xander is incredible. We were moving at the height of the housing market, with a low budget, working with a bank using a first-time homeowner program, from OUT OF STATE without having lived in Oregon or being familiar with the area at all, and under a time crunch of when we needed to get an offer accepted by based on when my program was starting. He made it work and handled everything for us, including running by properties and taking videos since we could not be there in-person. We bought a perfect first-home within our budget and using the program, all thanks to Xander! We figured out a way to get our offer to the top of the list (lease-back) which worked best for us and the sellers, and is something I had no idea you could even do. We couldn't be more grateful to Xander. Our home checks every box we had. He got an inspector out immediately and got us in contact with a great contractor (Foshay Contracting) who was able to walk us through the issues and get us quotes for repair all during the inspection-period. We needed a little more time to make our decision based on what was found, and he was able to get our inspection period extended because of this. He additionally takes the time to genuinely get to know you, your wants, needs, etc. and makes sure the process is as smooth as can be, and that you are truly knowledgeable about the decisions you are making. He empowers, trusts, and delivers. When we inevitably move, Xander will be the one I call to get our place on the market again, without question. Thank you, Xander!!

Xander could not have been more proactive getting me through the stressful house buying process. He had an inspector there the day after our offer was accepted. He found a CPA who solved all our problems in sticky tax complications just before closing. He has given me excellent referrals to workers who will service my new home. I can’t think of a way in which he hasn’t come through for me. Highly recommended.

Xander lived up to the great recommendations we saw online and the great answers we got interviewing him over the phone. He gave us ample personal attention as a customer representative, advocating for us solely on our behalf, and offering great advice specific to our search area. He listened closely to our list of preferences. His advice was accurate, adaptive, timely, and ethical. He was never rushed or pushy, reducing our stresses. He provided good communications using modern tools. We trusted him to evaluate for us remotely the home we selected and were not disappointed when we finally arrived. He is also a genuinely friendly, happy guy who is easy to work with.

We purchased a house from out of state and Xander could not have been a better partner in the process. First, he was chosen from a pool of realtors in the area by a personal friend in our state (our trusted realtor) whom we ask to vet local options. An approval from our friend says a lot about Xander and his integrity. I followed up with an interview and was impressed with his background, listening skills and overall demeanor. That background was really important - especially later in the process after our offer was accepted.

While we were house hunting, Xander provided insight and guidance that filled some pretty important gaps in our knowledge about the local housing market. He was kind and each time we found a place to look at, he quickly provided us with footage and commentary that was most importantly accurate and unbiased. He has a great sense of humor too! On one property, my daughter was able to join for a walk through. When she was done, Xander was kind enough to give her a ride home and keep her out of the rain.

When we got to the offer stage, Xander was an excellent partner, providing savvy advice which I am convinced helped us win in a competitive bidding situation.

Of course, winning a bid is only part of purchasing a house, and doing so from across the country complicated this immensely. That is where Xander's background truly shone through. We had to immediately find contractors, services and inspectors to get to close, and then prepare the property for occupancy post-purchase. Xander was there for us with recommendations, and options that not only were reliable, but in a manner that we felt we had a choice of vetted service providers - not just a bunch of business referrals. That was the icing on the cake.

In summary, we are thrilled with the house we bought and have only good things to say about working with Xander. He has earned our confidence and we'd offer him up as a referral to any of our friends looking in the area.

Xander has a professional and friendly personality, which made it easy as well as a pleasure to work with him. We became aware of several issues when we put my mom's house on the market, such as needing a new roof. Xander immediately knew the best company to call, who then were able to put on a roof in record time! Xander helped us out with several issues, helping to get them fixed and ultimately selling the house for the asking price.

Xander made the experience of buying my first house less overwhelming. He balanced a lot of support and experience while respecting my priorities. He did a great job of listening and making me feel confident about my decisions so, when I found the right house, I felt ready to commit. He did a great job of advocating for me and his advice was always excellent. He knew I was worried about upfront costs, so that was his priority when he was negotiating, and I ended up getting a great deal even though I needed to do some repair work myself. He was always very efficient and on top of things. I could not have asked for a better experience.

My wife and i partnered with our son with the purchase of a house in Springfield and we all agreed that he is the most helpful, trustworthy and skilled broker with whom we have ever been associated. Our son was not quite certain what he was looking for and we visited a number of different options before selecting a home. Xander was very patient, informed about all of the properties, very timely with his responses, and most helpful in terms of facilitating the decision-making process. All of us were most impressed with his professionalism, integrity and positive energy. He knows the business and helped us with negotiations, the home inspection process, collaboration with the lender and many other details.
Outstanding service!

Xander did a great job representing us in the sale of our house. His research was excellent; he understood the house and who it would appeal to, and he did a terrific job of marketing. We accepted an offer within five days, and he represented us well during negotiations with the buyer. He also took care of several repairs that came up. He is really energetic and personable, and his judgment is excellent.

There were a couple things that I appreciated during our experience of listing and selling with you. The first is we really appreciate your willingness to mentor my friend and old co-worker Jacob. It shows a lot of integrity that you took time out of your life and job to help him. As for the buying and selling process, we liked how easy you were to talk to. Especially how you laid out all of the possible scenarios as what would happen if we were to accept specific offers. For the listing process we felt like you did a great job coming up with comps that made us feel like we were asking a fair and accurate price for our house. We also appreciated how when the first buyer fell through you had a quick and comparable back up offer quickly after it fell through.

We found a picture perfect property and Xander represented our interest very well through the process. I highly recommend Xander – he is an excellent choice!

Xander is, by far, the best realtor I’ve ever met. Friendly, savvy, smooth, organized, knowledgeable, experienced, intuitive, efficient, reliable and utterly trustworthy. I just can’t say enough good things about him. We recently relocated to Eugene from the east coast and Xander was an invaluable resource in helping us find our dream home at a fantastic price. He’s charming and easy going, and also extremely organized, efficient and reliable. Maybe because he was born and raised in Eugene and graduated from the University of Oregon, Xander is like a duck: smooth on the surface while paddling like hell underneath. He was strategic is helping us narrow our search, a great listener in understanding what we were looking for, a savvy negotiator, and a wealth of knowledge in connecting us with various contractors and other local resources. Whether buying or selling a home, give Xander a call and see for yourself if he’s everything I describe.

Xander was an absolute delight and a breath of fresh air. I have had difficulties with Realtors in the past signing me up and then doing nothing. Xander told me "That won't happen with me," and he was absolutely true to his word. He was always on time for appointments and great about returning calls and emails. We were looking for a fairly low-priced home and he did not try to get us to pay more than we wanted to. He was also very helpful in arranging financing so that we could get the home we wanted. Without Xander's help, we could not have gotten the home we wanted at the price we could afford.

I would not hesitate to recommend Xander Taylor to friends and family who need the services of a true real estate professional. If I need a Realtor again--and I probably will someday--I will definitely call on Xander Taylor.

Xander saved us tremendous amounts of time and money while making the process of selling our home and finding a new one an enjoyable experience. We would highly recommend Xander to anyone thinking of selling or purchasing a home.

Xander Taylor is as thorough and meticulous as he is personable. He has a substantial working knowledge of construction, marketing, and real estate laws/contract requirements. Perhaps one of the most significant ideas he created for our “incomparable property,” was figuring-out the size of our one acre lot PLUS factoring in the square footage of the home, to justify the selling price. It worked!

Xander is an excellent communicator; always responsive and does so in a timely manner. He also introduced us to apps which, on a daily basis, indicated activities and progress toward our property sale. He and Ruby Brockett held numerous Open House events with pre-qualified buyers; he became intimately knowledgeable about our home’s details in all areas, so as to put potential buyers at ease with the property. He’s very well connected and respected in the business, construction and real estate communities. He valued our confidentialities and supported our desire to be transparent in all disclosures to buyers.

In negotiations, he ferrets out what’s significant and what isn’t. He’s intelligent, and skilled in considering both the seller’s and buyer’s rights/needs. He’s ethical; very trustworthy.

All in all, we highly recommend Xander Taylor…….Oh, and he has an adorable cute puppy!

Xander was an amazing agent for my family and I when we sold our house and bought a new one! He had our house pending in 24hrs and never pressured us into anything we weren't comfortable with. He was patient, understanding and cared about us more than his commission ! Never met an agent that was so compassionate about his job and clients!

Update: we have now used Xander to sell 2 houses! I still recommend him to everyone I know! We have known him for over 3 years now and he has become more than just an agent to us, he has become a friend that we trust and turn to with every housing question, need, want or thought.

Xander Taylor not only found me a buyer for my spec house on Monroe but also found two more clients for new builds on the next two lots. He was able to negotiate a selling price that set the benchmark for the area, and in the middle of winter. Not the greatest time to try to sell a high end spec house. Xander took care of the marketing, open houses, made a drone video, handled client communications and all the documentation through closing. He also listed and sold the clients prior house in three days making it possible for them to sell their old house and move in to the new one on time for closing and with one move.

He's an agent who knows how to maneuver through the real estate marketplace, keep the project on task and his clients interest in first position. Thanks, Xander for being on the job.

Xander Taylor, is in my opinion, the best realtor you could have. My wife and I recently purchased our first home and are so lucky to have stumbled into his service! He is a 10 out of 10 in every possible category I could think of. Here are a few points regarding his amazing service:
readily available and attentive to our needs in a highly competitve and fast paced housing market
regularly bringing great properties to our attention, that fit many of our needs, without pressuring us to look at or buy properties that we felt were not appropriate for us
a treasure trove of information about issues worth considering that were less obvious to a first time home buyer
willingness to take as much time as needed to talk us through a possible home purchase from both the positive and negative side subjectively so that we could make the best choice when deciding whether to make an offer on a house or not
an amazing level of service throughout our year-long search in the hunt for our dream home
attention to detail that made the process go through very smoothly
local connections with reputable and friendly professionals in every part of the industry - he helped me find a great electrician and plumber after the home purchase
continued attention and service after the home purchase - he still cares about our happiness and that the home is a great fit for us, continuing to be a valuable resource

I just wanted to give a shout out to Xander, our real estate agent! We've been in our new home for 3 months now and love it! He made the entire process so easy; in fact, there were only 5 weeks and 2 days between pre-approval and move in day. Xander did an excellent job of listening to what each of us were looking for and then finding something with those specifications. He also gave us really good advice regarding what to offer and what to ask for in the counter offer. This whole process was new to us, so we really appreciated all the education he provided along the way. We are really thankful to have found the perfect home for us, so quickly and so easily.

Xander truly wants to help people find and execute the real estate deal that is right for them. When we decided to sell our house on our own, without a listing agent, Xander was incredibly helpful. He answered questions, ran reports for us, and offered encouragement just when we needed it. When the going got tough (and it got really tough!) Xander commiserated with us, and encouraged us to keep at it. Xander understood that we wanted sell our own home, but was there if we needed to hire someone to help with paper work or anything else. Other agents, with whom we had no relationship, were aggressive and even condescending as they tried to get us to hire them. Xander understood that we just needed a little help. Not everyone has the time, energy and patience to sell a home on their own (I'll never do it again!) If you need an agent, Xander is an honest, caring person who wants people to be comfortable and confident as they buy and sell their biggest assets
