“Kyle was an incredible representation for us and member of the whole buying team. He went above and beyond making sure we had the information to make good decisions without pressuring us in any direction and consistently checked in to make sure we had what we needed, needed help with anything, and just to make sure we were doing alright through the process. Buying a home is stressful and Kyle made it so incredible smooth and painless. Wouldnt have traded him for any other agent out there.”

“I guess I already gave a testimonial in the previous screen, but again I will say that Kyle is the full package. Our sale was challenging due to several offers failing as a result of the buyers not beig able to close and a poor effort by one VA appraiser. So third time was a charm and each and every time we were back on the market Kyle came forth with another Offer with in a few days. Great Job! Pat and Sue Duffy”

“Kyle was great to work with - quite professional and knows everything about Sunriver. He took the time to really listen to what I was looking for - and then he began the search. I felt he understood my interests as well as my concerns re: a particular type of condo and the view I was interested in. The most important aspect - I think , for me, as a woman doing the search on my own - is that Kyle was respectful and kind and he never made me feel ill at ease, and the result was that I was able to really focus on what I wanted from Sunriver, rather than worrying about who I was working with on my real estate adventure.”

After a bad experience with a property management and sale person that damaged my home and property, it was a breath of fresh air to deal with Kyle at Berkshire. I believed his suggestions and approach for sale prep and my home sold. I also gave positive feedback to the Oregon State real estate board for Kyle's professionalism. thank you again Kyle, I would work with again if I have real estate needs.”

“Working with potential buyers can be difficult at times, but when you have 2 couples, 4 individuals, with strong opinions or ideas, it can be even more challenging. Kyle Hoak was up for the challenge. After years of talking about it, we finally decided to purchase a vacation home in Sunriver with my inlaws. While my husband and I were up at the mountain skiing, my inlaws walked into Bekrshire Hathaway on a whim and met Kyle. They spent the morning discussing our situation, and gathering information re: prices and availability in the area. The following day, buried in 2 feet of snow, we all (7 of us total) ventured out to tour a number of houses. We did not purchase any of them, but it gave Kyle insight into what exactly we were (all) looking for. Kyle continued to send us listings until we found the perfect home. He took our wish list(s) into consideration and only sent ones with true potential. He was sure to email all of us when he had questions or comments, and was very good at keeping us all in the loop. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Kyle was very thorough, professional, and also fun to work with. We enjoyed him so much that we referred him to my brother and sister-in-law to help them with the purchase of their first home. We have spent the last 9 months remodeling the home that we bought, and Kyle even came by when we were all finished to see how it all turned out. Needless to say, we would definitely recommend Kyle Hoak to anyone looking for a good realtor!”

“If every we were to buy another home we would only use only Kyle Hoak. He always returned our calls, texts and his communication skills are top notch. We worked with him for about 4 months before finding our home. Every now and then he still calls or texts to see how we are doing and to make sure we happy our new home. He was very professional and showed genuine care while helping us find our home. We would recommend Kyle Hoak to any of our friends or family.”

“Kyle Hoak is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. He is not afraid to put in the time to do any research that I wanted done on a property. Kyle was always willing to show me properties that I wanted to look at or he wanted to show me promptly. He is one of the few real estate agents willing to work to make things happen instead of sit around waiting and hoping for things to happen.”
