What Our Clients Are Saying About Us
I live out of state and have worked with Tawnya on 3 separate transactions, both buying and selling remotely. I have been very happy working with her and will continue to work with her for my future real estate needs!
–Richard A. November 2024Billy is wonderfully thorough and communicative and always on time, and takes good care of all the loose ends.
–Jennifer Manning October 2024Todd was required to do a lot to help us. He was wonderful & wonderful with my Mom! Thank you so much.
–Anna Baltrusch August 2024Tawnya’s a great friend and dedicated to her work and her client. This is our third time having the pleasure of working with her and she always goes above and beyond what is needed or expected. Thank for your help!
–Nicole Moody, June 2024Tawnya is friendly, full explanation of process, good listener with no pressure, very competent and knowledgeable of all aspects of real estate transactions, highly ethical. We not only highly recommend Eugene’s Alternative, but have returned there for subsequent transactions.
–John Pendergrass and Valerie Miller, June 2024Marisa and the firm are unlike other realtors I’ve experienced. They combine knowledge, a great friendly personality, and willingness to go beyond what would be required. I recommend Marisa Fox! She is knowledgeable and full of energy that she puts to work for you. I’ve used her four times and she is always great to work with.
–Lore BenselFinding a real estate agent in another state to refer your good friends and clients to, when they decide to leave California, is no small under-taking. After chatting with a few Oregon real estate agents, I stumbled upon Eugene’s Alternative REALTORS. What a name! “Alternative” perfectly described my friends so I dug into who these alternative agents were. Bingo, landed on Tawnya Madsen who has a background as a lawyer and mediator. It’s as if the heavens opened up…and after a Zoom call with my clients we all agreed it was a MATCH. Not only that but within weeks, they found a house they loved. Tawnya managed the transaction and took care of all the first-time buyer questions and concerns, coupled with the buyers not being local to the area during the process). I will be happy to refer Eugene home buyer future clients to Tawnya and know they will be in good hands!
–Susie W.Continue pointing out issues you see on homes, sharing information about unique features of homes that are important to clients.
–Steve & Sylvia YoungI was glad to be able to use someone I trusted to help me sell the house. Someone ethical that I know would listen and not be pushy or try to get me to do something I didn’t want to do. “What did you like about Eugene’s Alternative, your agent and your experience?” Giving me a ride to the title company. All that personal touch stuff! That helped make it easier.
Christine PrescottLow pressure, knowledgable about all kinds of things, friendly, available, just all around great and relatable. Thanks Marisa!!
Mikalina & Marshall K.Tawnya is great to work with. She’s attentive, knowledgable, helpful and personable. As such, she’s the perfect representative for the agency. We’ve moved out of the area, but wouldn’t hesitate to use Tawnya again! Thanks for everything!
Judy and SkipShe (Pam) was honest, patient and very knowledgable about Eugene. We very much appreciate her discernment. It was always a delight to meet with Pam. Pam rocks!
Lissa Wadewitz & Tom Mertes“Todd is an excellent agent. He made every effort to meet our unique situation (settling an estate while living out of the state) He kept us up to date at every step of the process.
Tom Sikes
I highly recommend Todd.”“Tawnya and I worked as a team in selling my property. She was always on top of what needed to be done. She also communicated to me and everyone else involved in a clear, concise way. Tawnya is a good problem solver with years of experience. Honestly, I can not think of anything to improve upon. I bought my property through Eugene’s Alternative REALTORS (Tawnya) and 6 and a 1/2 years later sold my property using Tawnya.”
Diane Zumer“We honestly don’t know what Billy could have done better. He was there every step of the way that was such a big help to us. 10/10 star experience. Billy really made our home buying experience the best. He educated us so much on being home owners who are well informed and helped us find the home that was right for us.”
Logan & Brett Newstead(Billy) What should I stop doing? “Nothing. You are great!”
What should I continue doing? “Being kind, helpful, responsive and going above and beyond for your clients!”
Caitlin & Mckenzie Myers“Responsible, knowledgable, no pressure, listened to us. During our search was available to show us properties and then throughout the offer and closing he was very helpful! We met Todd at an open house and appreciated his straightforward and practical manner. We didn’t have a realtor at that point and Todd stepped up to set up RMLS notifications. Thanks Todd!”
Angie Ruzicka & Darko Sojack(Todd & Tawnya) “Very helpful, efficient, friendly and always had time for me. I would use them again.”
Ilona McClory“Pam made buying my first home a great experience. She was able to work around my crazy work schedule and there for any questions I had!”
Kelsey Rodgers“Todd was beyond exceptional. Always ahead of the game. Before we could ask a question he had already answered it. Todd is great and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services to friends or family.”
Lauren & Kevin Settles“As we were out of state buyers, we did not have the usual amount of time to explore houses in Eugene. Tawnya’s ability to quickly understand what was important to us and guide us in that direction was invaluable. Tawnya helped with every aspect of the process – from lenders to inspections, repairs and closing. Every question was answered so quickly. We felt that Tawnya was always looking out for our best interests, and that’s a good feeling! I never imagined that we could have found a home that was perfect for us, so quickly. It wasn’t just luck! Tawnya is super hard working, intuitive, and professional. I highly recommend working with her!”
Kathy & Dave Maguire(Tawnya) We always appreciate Tawnya’s expertise, knowledge and willingness to go above and beyond. Thank you for helping us sell our first home!
Yarasel & Nate OtjenTodd was a great communicator, giving us understanding about each step of the process. Appreciated how he kept us up-to-date on each detail. Enjoyed getting to know Todd~very personable and good sense of humor. Took good care of us, while also taking vacation time with his family.
Dan & Joyce Hartman(Todd) Our broker went to bat for us when it really counted, and we felt like the experts were on our side the whole time.
Dylan & DaniTawnya is kind, personable, knowledgeable and trustworthy. She also admits when she doesn’t know something (then finds it out) and doesn’t oversell. She even plays Devil’s Advocate with us.
Will & Laura Johnson(Billy) You were very available and responsive. Your hands-on approach was so helpful. You made great suggestions but never pushed me. You listened to me and always gave great feedback. You supported my decisions and were sensitive to my feelings about things. You are an excellent realtor and a very even and calm influence.
Julie BerndtMarisa Fox helped us get into the house of our dreams by listening to us and supporting us through the process. She is a fun and lovely person to go through the process with and never made me feel bad for asking questions. It’s a crazy time to buy a house, and she made it seem easy.
Martha DyerMarisa was great. She sent me emails as soon as new properties came on the market, and was always eager to meet me for tours. She took all the stress out of scheduling and paperwork, and was always available to talk to me when I was feeling anxious about my purchase. We wrote 6 offers, because of the crazy market, but she stayed optimistic and wasn’t deterred by rejections, or sales being canceled due to inspections. I felt like she truly had my best interest heart every step of the way.
Liz KruzeI can not recommend Marisa enough. From start to finish she has been on top of it and helped me every step of the way. She has great local lender suggestions. She knows Eugene area as she’s a native but is also knowledgeable in the Oregon market generally. Very personable, the showings impressed me. She was a listing agent but able to be objective about a property and it impressed me, so felt great about choosing her as a buyers agent. Wonderful realtor and human being.
Joseph McManusTawnya has a personal touch, desire to really understand clients, lack of judgement, helpfulness and thoroughness. I always knew it would be done right. You’re amazing!
Sam SandersWhat should I stop doing? Nothing, very happy with everything. What should I continue doing? Being available for questions and quickly responding to all communications.
Anthony GroffPam, you somehow found time to help me on the first day we met! You listened to what my situation was and provided helpful advise. You were kind, helpful and found time to help me buy a house in 72 hours, can’t ask more than that, thanks.
Sal Jepson(Billy) Honestly we felt like it was a very complete experience. What should I continue doing? Being thorough and informative; as first time home buyers we felt educated on the process and understood what to look for in a home. ‘
Tyler Straub & Alizaire LewisPam was highly responsive in communication and took the time necessary to explain anything in the home buying process that we didn’t fully understand. So friendly and helpful!
Lucy Miner & Evan ElderbrockPam took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. Her experience and positive outlook helped us navigate an especially challenging market. We enjoyed Bethany, too. Pam was punctual, flexible, responsive, patient and a good communicator.
Lee, Gaily and Holly PharesTawnya strikes the perfect balance of being friendly and approachable while also being extremely reliable and a stickler for the details (in a good way!). It was a pleasure to work with her and we will continue to refer her to everyone we can.
Sasha and Jason V.I found Todd to be very experienced and realistic about the process. It was very streamlined, even with the problems that came up. His use of digital technologies assisted the process as well. He is a good communicator and able to deliver upon his estimations and promises. A+! Thank you for a great experience and a good working relationship.
Tamara KiddTawnya Madsen is by far the best realtor I have ever dealt with for so many reasons. I have worked with her twice in order to find and buy a house, consulted with her several times and also recommended her to friends, who have liked her so much that they in turn recommended her to their son and friends. She has an impressive foundation of legal, procedural and nuts & bolts knowledge regarding residential real estate that is beautifully blended with solid ethics, genuine warm-heartedness and a win-win mediation style. Her professional skills and demeanor are flawless. What always impresses me the most about Tawnya is that she fully respects your vision of what kind of home you want and need and she carefully works within the financial boundaries that you have determined as appropriate. Your needs are much more important to her than her own commission, a fact that is so truly self-evident in all Tawnya does that it feels rather awkward and superfluous to even mention it. She will be scrupulously honest with you about any situation, even difficult ones, and speak to you about it with kindness and professionalism that never leaves you feeling pressured or confused. Unless there is something absolutely preventing her, she responds to your calls and emails immediately and promptly addresses your concerns or needs. The bottom line is that Tawnya will always go the extra mile to help you and you feel extremely grateful to have her in your corner. Buying a house is terribly stressful and your life is on hold during the process. Tawnya understands this completely, and she provides you with an anchor within the storm of uncertainty and pressure that is inherent to the buying process. Although my relationship with Tawnya has been exclusively professional up until this point, I count her as a friend and will continue to recommend her without the slightest reservation to anyone looking for a realtor.
Alison StantonTodd was so personable. He went above and beyond. I would highly recommend him. He was patient and knowledgeable, two thumbs up!

She was able to get things done.
–Andrew Morris and Kiya Riverman

–Pam and Dendro Corrid
Tawnya was amazing! She answered our texts anytime day or night, she made time to show us properties all over Lane county. We were very specific about what we needed and she not only helped us find many properties that we would be interested in, but she also helped us secure a loan that worked with the property we loved. Tawnya was incredibly helpful and was a reliable source for information. She went out of her way to look into questions we had about zoning laws, water rights, land slide issues on properties and more. We couldn’t have gotten our home without her. I recommend Eugene’s Alternative for anyone who wants to find the right spot without all the heartache! Thanks again, Tawnya!

–Latisha Malone
We had an Exceptional experience. Todd has gone above & beyond what we expected , and we would not own a home if not for his efforts.

The service was exceptional. We would definitely recommend Todd to anyone buying a home in Eugene.

Tawnya went above and beyond what any other agent might have. She took videos of a house, worked up 3 deals, and met inspectors and fence builders. This particular move was the most difficult of my life for many reasons. Tawnya made the house purchase so easy that I never had to worry about a thing where the house was concerned.
–Sherie Maddox
Billy’s thoroughness and willingness to go the extra distance was awesome. Very punctual. (What can we improve?) Not sure, we think you [he] did great… maybe [he] could’ve bought the house and just gifted it to us?

Pat really invested herself in my needs as a home buyer. Buying a home is a very personal experience and Pat was sensitive and really caring given my complicated circumstances.

–Paula Spriggs
Pam was outstanding!!! We could not have had a better agent. She is quick to respond and extremely knowledgeable. I can’t imagine navigating the market without her. Before we even knew we were moving to Eugene and were just visiting the town, Pam welcomed us and took us around to get to know the homes and area. After we moved she patiently helped us find the perfect place and we couldn’t be happier. We have bought and sold homes before and can truly say Pam is the best. We would highly recommend her and Todd (who was extremely helpful when Pam was on vacation). Truly, many thanks for all you did to help make Eugene home for us Pam!!!

We found Pat to be professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, easy to work with and always available. But totally rocking as well! She made an otherwise scary and stressful venture easy and even fun.
She held our hand through all aspects of the house buying process. She even met with the inspectors on our behalf, as we live out of town. Pat covered all the bases, watched out for our interests, and was by our side from the beginning of our search to the day we sat down to sign the escrow papers.
I have worked with 6 other REALTORS and I have never before experienced such wonderful treatment. Your company is a great alternative, especially Pat.
–Rushiko Nishikuni & Margot Hale

–James Stein
Tawnya was eager to help, worked hard to intuit our needs, and was prompt to answer our calls and texts. She worked well with seller’s agent to get us what we wanted. Long distance moves can be a nightmare, but Tawnya made things easy with her responsiveness. She was a joy to collaborate with.

–Brett, Tonya & Girls
Tawnya never made us feel like any request was unreasonable, even when looking at many houses over the course of many weeks. We enjoyed Tawnya, which made the chore of looking for a house that much more enjoyable.

She was the best- first class in every way. She went through the whole process from beginning to end as if it was her house she was buying, We love her! Tawnya is the best real estate professional I’ve ever known. She impressed us so much we’re continuing to use her services. We recommend her highly. We actually think she’s the best! Eugene’s Alternative offers modern convenience with a comfortable and casual, yet professional service. Nice people who work hard and are efficient with new options for expediting the tedious nature of paperwork. Our agent went out of her way to video properties, which was above & beyond.
–Adam & Nicole Albright
Stephan had great availability and always returned phone calls.
— David Larson
Pam was amazing at helping with my unique situation and time concerns. She was happy to take my family along and never missed a beat through a long closing. She is still amazingly helpful now, 6 months later!
–Kristi Potter, University Researcher
Tawnya did a really fantastic job! She is an excellent communicator. All communications were within a timely manner and all questions were answered and/or researched satisfactorily. Tawnya was extremely patient & kind with us. She was a trooper and stuck it out with us!
–Leslie Tenmaers, Crystal Hibbs (Communications Guru), & Eric Stromberg
Working w/ Pam was a lesson in effective marketing. We sold my father’s house in 2 months! The key is to trust their ways and it will all come together. Don’t fight the force of Eugene’s Alternative REALTORS! They know the market. The people that make up this business are hard working and accurate. I initially chose this business because of their superior website, but quickly learned they had amazing people skills too. That is a rare and magical combination. I LOVED the Home Feed Back feature. Bottom line: This real estate company will spoil you so much that you will never be satisfied with anyone else again.
We ? Pam!What could we have done better?
Now that I have worked w/ another real estate establishment a couple of hundred miles south of Eugene I can safely say that your approach to selling a house is superior to all others!Would you recommend us to your friends?
Yep–Chérie & Beckie, First Time Estate Representative
Friendly, knowledgeable, professional service. I was immediately at ease with Tawnya. She knows Eugene backwards & forwards. She was always accessible and understood what I was looking for, always keeping within my price range.
–Judi Brown
We enjoyed everything! The new office is conveniently located and the staff is super friendly and so accommodating, especially Pam! Great communication between parties involved, and Pam’s resources for readying our house for sale was invaluable. We will use Eugene’s Alternative REALTORS again hands down over anyone else. Thank you!
–Carl & Petra
Everything was explained clearly from the get go. You cipher all the legal talk into layman’s terms very well. I had an unusually long & scary short sale & Pam kept me calm through the whole process. Pam was always there when I needed her with a text or showing up to meet me. I don’t know how you do it!
–Jill & Eli, Homeowners
Stephan made us feel like we were his only clients.
–Laura Clark
Tawnya was very responsive and always available to answer questions or show us a home that looked interesting. She didn’t push us to consider houses that were out of our price range or settle on a house that wasn’t right for us. Great experience overall – very patient and helpful.
–Austin & Melody Meek
Pat Stacey is an incredibly hard working woman dedicated to making clients happy. Wonderful lady. I’m amazed by her kindness. It was a fantastic and wonderful experience. Eugene is beautiful. Great shopping. Hiking. Love the deer and turkeys who hang around here.

Pam, you did such an excellent job. Truly, we can not think of anything you needed to do differently. We appreciate all the hard work you put in, that every question or request was handled promptly and the whole experience was pleasant and un-stressful. We have spoken highly of you and your company to all of our family. Thank you for being supportive and helpful every step of the way and for being such a nice person. We wish you much happiness and success. Sincerely, Jack and Joan.
–Jack Stryker & Joan Woodbury
Pam was very professional and right on top of things. Once we made the decision to sell, she took it and ran with it. She and Pat took care of everything. It was painless!! It was a huge relief to sell at close to asking price.
–Xia, 50-somthing starting a new life!
Eugene Alternative gave us the best experience in buying and selling our home. The agents were very friendly, with customer service skills that made it comfortable to express my expectations from them all. Did they deliver. Yes the did! Great, great company of professionals to do business with!
Dave your company was great. I just love how you were able to tell me we would be able to sell, when I felt like I wouldn’t. You were so positive, you really know this market!
Dave & Team Thanks so, so much. And the very best to you all!
–Doloris, Keep in Touch!
We Love Pat! She went above and beyond and answered all of my annoying questions! She felt more like a friend than a Realtor. Thanks for all your help with everything!
–Anna, Seth, & Alek
Pam seems to really enjoy her job. She got me the documents I requested quickly and kept in touch. And, of course, she happily drove us to the coast.
–Richard
We found Tawnya early in the process of buying our first home. Her recommendations for areas and home styles, as well as general tips for buying, helped us narrow our focus to select properties. Tawnya stuck with us over a few months as we saved for our down payment. She responded quickly to every question we had, which set her apart from other agents we were considering earlier in the process–for this reason, and because she provided great advice generally, we chose Tawnya as our exclusive agent.
She (quite patiently) guided us through many home viewings, and wasn’t afraid to give her experienced opinion on properties, which is invaluable when you’ve seen too many (or too few) homes in one day and lose perspective. When we showed interest in a property, she very quickly assembled information unavailable on Zillow or other home buying websites, which often gave us a better idea of the true condition and value of the home.
We finally found our home, and she helped us make an offer. Tawnya guided us through every part of negotiation and closing. She made several visits to our property to check on issues or concerns, and in doing so was–as always–professional and happy to assist. We purchased our home, and she continues to provide useful recommendations on local contractors for a few upgrades we’re making. Tawnya helped us through every part of our home purchase, making an otherwise stressful experience a pleasure. We look forward to recommending her to others, as well as keeping in touch for any future purchases or sales!

–Sterling and Ruth Wallach; ArtTrek Custom Quality Painting
Working with Eugene’s Alternative – Realtor was an absolute pleasure. Because of the complexities associated with buying a house for the first time and the current sellers market that exists in Eugene, I started the process with a lot of trepidation and a bit of procrastination. It was with joy that I was able to find a Realtor that I felt played no games, but with a straight forwardness and clear communication guided me down the path towards home ownership. I tended to be very picky on finding the perfect house, and they were very patient and informative in showing me various homes around town. They patiently kept with me over the 6 months that it took to find my dream house. Once I finally found the house that fit my many criteria, I discovered that although it was the first day on the market there were at least 3 other bids placed. With Eugene Alternative – Realtor support and knowledge of the current realty market, financial market, and their knowledge of the other parties involved I was able to come out with the winning bid and we glided through the rest of the buying process. I have been in my house for just over a month and I am every day overjoyed to be living there. Its perfect and I am very thankful that I was able to find a Realtor that not only could I trust, but seemed to enjoy the process of helping me. Thank you
–Devin Newman; Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (and obviously a good friend of Dave’s)
Eugene’s Alternative – REALTORS is a small group, easy to get in touch with, and always cheerful and positive in their response. I feel they know what they are doing and I have confidence in them , so I felt comfortable in our relationship.

–Richard Simpson, Raina Steiner
You didn’t give up searching for our dream home, even when we had!

–Keith & Kendall Fuselier; invasive species
My experience was 100% good. Our realtor, Pam Haggard, not only did an outstanding job on finding us our dream home at our dream price, she also (at the same time) did the same for our son. I love that Pam/the company, walks you through the process from beginning to end, and handles so very many details for you to lessen your stress. Through this process we now consider her as a friend and not just our Realtor. She went above and beyond what most REALTORS would have done. She had a genuine interest in getting us into the right home, and not just any home that she could just get her commission on and walk away. Pam really and truly, looked out for us as individuals, not just clients. Thank you so much!
What could we have done better?
Nothing 🙂Would you recommend us to your friends?
Already have 🙂–Kim and Harry Carver +Sean (he is ecstatic and thanks you so much) who keeps forgetting to mail his… : )
What liked?
*The people – All of you were great to work with – Dave & Ingvar especially!
*Laid back operation.
*Eug. Alt. gives the feeling of independent business operation, free of ultra-corporate resource/profit bias. (You guys treat people like people, not $)
*No B.S. -You said it as it is!Could have done better?
This was 1st time w/ realtor so have no outside experience to base better. Overall, I’m really happy with experience.–Jesse Davis
Hi Everyone-
thank you so much for the holiday card and gift. I want to thank everyone in your office for all of your help and assistance and for going above and beyond for me so many times. Everyone was a pleasure to work with and never seemed too busy to answer my seemingly endless array of questions. Your professionalism, politeness, and willingness, along with your great personalities and sense of humor helped me through the difficult and sometimes frustrating process of buying and selling a home. I couldn’t have done it without your help and support. Thank you again and happy holidays!–Nancy
You were relaxed, courteous, responsible, intelligent and very efficient. We had never bought a home before (despite our age) and we were from out of state– so there was plenty of room for anxiety and other various preoccupations. However, from the moment we met Pam, she was available, efficient, competent, and wonderful to work with.
We have no complaints, only praise for your company.
We liked the name of your company and we had a hunch we’d be happy with your services. We were right!
Thanks for everything.
–Sue & Dave Kilber; Special education teacher; parents of a child w/ a disability

–Susan Thelen; Cool Girl
Eugene’s Alternative knows about Great Customer Service. It truly begins with that, first and always. That’s what we received. We were truly pleased with that reception. From there it was easy to do business with great people! But what is Really Great is the consistency of ALL the people involved. Maintenance, neighbors. Everyone is Quiet, going about their daily lives. We love it!
–Collid and Delores Abdin
I had my property listed with two different realtors prior to my listing with Eugene Alternative I was truly impressed with the whole team effort. I felt like a part of their family. Even after my contract was up they marketed my property and sold it not much less than my asking price. One heck of a deal. They are very professional and and understanding with clients needs. I couldn’t be happier and would certainly list with them again if the need arises
–LYNNE
Very Positive and high energy operation. I felt that Eugene’s Alternative wanted to sell our house for us from the very first meeting. They gave us objective advice about our house and about the offer we received. I really appreciated all of the tips on contractors. Also , once again I must thank Pam for being so good about helping me to step back and objectively evaluate our offer.
–Judy & Gary
Pat was friendly, no pressure, always available, honest, good communication skills, knowledgeable, helpful and sympathetic with our relocating emotions. I would stand on the streets handing out her cards. She was beyond wonderful.

–Tom and Sally
Having purchased over 30 homes in our lives, we have NEVER recommended an agent upon completion of the purchase or sale — UNTIL NOW!!!

I will not use anyone other than her and Eugene’s Alternative as long as I live in this area.

I have bought and sold eight homes in my life so I have worked with a variety of real estate professionals. Eugene Alternative Realty is by far the best!

Dave’s consistent high energy level, patience, and intelligent advice helped me throughout the sales process.” I strongly recommend Dave and Pam to anyone who wants to win in today’s difficult real estate market.
–Patrick Choate; Published Author
I am so grateful to have had the extra care, attention, humor and expertise you’ve offered all the way through. You aren’t just ‘alternative’ – you’re simply the best.

You’ve been fantastic.
–John Schmor; Head of Theater Department; UO
There is no pressure, in fact, you take it on for us & therefore put us in a much better mindset when evaluating potential properties. You truly are the best alternative in Real Estate!
