Rachel Kirk Has Joined Bend Premier Real Estate

For more than twenty-five years, Rachel worked as a professor of Spanish language and culture. Teaching, for her, was about supporting her students while holding them to high expectations.

Don't be scared of a tough listing — sometimes the biggest fright hides the brightest opportunity.

Every agent has that one listing that gives them chills. You know the type — the one that lingers on the market while others fly off the shelf, the one buyers love online but vanish after the showing. For one Bend agent, it felt like the house itself was haunted.

A Spooky Reputation

Perched on a quiet, tree-lined street, the craftsman looked perfect from the curb. But once inside, visitors whispered that "something felt off." Lights flickered during showings. The air felt drafty. Doors creaked when no one was near them. Word spread quickly — the house was haunted!
