I am an Oregonian - born in Corvallis, graduated high school in Salem, University grad in Eugene. It is with my attention on this moment that I focus my intent on the needs and best interests of my clients. Combining this with over 25 years of real estate and construction experience, I strive to provide the most ethical and highest level of service to each of our clients.
A labelled map of Bend neighborhoods is available here. Bend sits along the eastern edge of Oregon's Cascades mountain range with the Deschutes River as its central north-south artery. Highway 97 parallels the Deschutes, dividing Bend into two two distinct quadrants: West Bend and East Bend. Basically speaking, homes tend to be pricier on the West side.
The LOHR Real Estate story officially began about a decade ago, when Kip and Megan Lohr, after working for several well-established brokerages, decided to embark on their own adventure. Their mission: to be a force of good in the local market, helping to stem the tide of bad information and questionable advice that had emerged in the wake of the financial crisis of 2008.
October is typically the time when Bend's market starts to undergo its usual seasonal slowdown, and this year was no exception. But new listings dropped significantly more than pending sales (19% versus 8%), leading inventory to drop for the first time since the spring. Basically, buyers are grabbing up the inventory that accumulated in Bend.
A labelled map of Eugene neighborhoods is available here. Eugene is nestled in the southern reaches of Oregon's Willamette Valley, with the Coastal range to the west and Cascades range to the east. The Willamette has long been renowned for its agriculture, producing a sizable portion of the world's hazelnuts and grass seed.

My husband and I are very happy that we connected with Lohr Reality when we began looking to relocate to Eugene. From our first meeting through the purchase of our new home, Kip and Meredith were personable, helpful, and transparent. We appreciated that they took the time to get to know us and build a relationship with us. Working with Kip and Meredith was like having a friend on the “inside” that is working for you. Kip and Meredith were easy to reach and always available to answer our questions. Kip explained everything in a way that was easy to understand: making the offer, negotiating the

We found LOHR Real Estate from an article about moving to Oregon from out of state. We were a part of the California exodus; leaving the Bay Area to find peace and No Traffic!
We met with Meredith and Kip and they gave us a tour of Eugene's neighborhoods, we were going to go to Bend too but snow kept us out and we were already set on Eugene. Since we were looking for homes in Eugene when we were living out of state we would do weekend trips where we had about 1 day to look at homes. I would send Meredith a long list of potential homes and she would set up all our appointments for our day of

We had the most amazing experience with Lohr Real Estate when buying our home in Eugene. Kip and Meredith not only helped us to find the perfect home, but they made it a point to help us feel at home in our new city. From the first zoom meeting, to each thoughtful email, they made what could have a been a stressful process so delightful. We never felt like they were just trying to sell us a house, but rather, that they were guiding us to our perfect home. On top of being phenomenal real estate agents, they are also so genuine and kind, and we feel lucky to know them.

We were very happy with our experience with Lohr Real Estate. Moving across the country to a city you haven't been to before and only have a few hours of in person house hunting to see isn't easy but they made it fun. They took the time to listen to our needs. We are 5 months in and feel like we made the right decision. They went above and beyond helping us make this purchase and we would be happy to use them again in the future. Thank you Meredith & Ryan!

Kip, Meredith, and Ryan are really a dream team for someone moving to Eugene or Bend, each with their different skills. They go above and beyond to help you get a sense of the area, they are not afraid of telling you the downsides of what you might be considering, and they continue to be a resource long after they've gotten paid. I'd highly recommend them to anyone considering moving to the area.

We feel incredibly lucky that Kip and the Lohr real estate team were recommended to us. Simply put, Kip and team (in our case, Meredith and Ryan) were the perfect people to help us with the home-buying process. A few of the main reasons: 1) They are extremely knowledgeable about the area, including the neighborhood demographics, general vibes of different neighborhoods, and market trends. 2) They understand the construction of houses, inside and out, and had amazing insights into things influencing quality of houses, warning signs to look for, etc. 3) They are very savvy about the finances, which

With the help of the Lohr team, we recently closed on our first home after moving to Eugene from out of state. Meredith and Kip are fantastic and truly went above and beyond from start to finish. They showed us around Eugene, assisted with a rental unit while we house hunted, helped us navigate the competitive market here in Eugene, expertly dealt with some unique situations when we were in contract, and provided home improvement advice now that we have our first home! We are so glad we found this team whose care for their clients reflects in everything they do. We can’t thank Kip and Meredith

I had all but given up on buying a house before I called Kip Lohr. One phone call changed my life -- and now I'm moving into the house of my dreams in Eugene, relocating from the San Francisco Bay Area. Kip is a pro's pro and made the process of navigating my relocation run like a well-oiled machine. He and his team, Meredith and Ryan, are knowledgeable, experienced, ethical, responsive, and trustworthy. Plus, I feel like they really "get" me! If you get to work with Kip and his team on any of your real estate transactions, count yourself lucky. I know I do.

My husband and I were new to the area. They took the time to build a good relationship first. It was not about selling us a house as much as making sure we will be happy with our new home. Kip and Meredith took time to give us a tour of Eugene and introduce us to different neighborhoods. They listened patiently to what we envisioned and found us the exact house we were dreaming of.
Kip and Meredith are professional, knowledgeable, and kind. They are not only our real estate agents, but they have become wonderful friends as well.
Thank you, Kip and Meredith, for your support and guidance!

11/10 would recommend working with Kip and Ryan at Lohr Real Estate! We just purchased our first home, and Kip and Ryan were helpful, patient, knowledgeable, and hard-working every step of the way. They're both super insightful and picked up really quickly on what we were looking for--but they also didn't hesitate to give an honest opinion if we started to head off track. This team is super flexible, available, and fun to work with! It's clear that Kip and Ryan actually care about getting their clients into the right home. Thank you Kip and Ryan!!!
