We met Hector Garcia through the phone in 2020, we are in McAllen TX, we haven’t had the honor to shake his hand.We called him after our previous realtor was very pushy and my wife was in the hospital.He reviewed the offer and asked “do you feel comfortable with this?” We said “not really” to his reply “Do not sign it please”.He helped us make it into a rental and we were thinking of selling or keeping, his suggestions were greatly appreciated. His knowledge on the housing market is invaluable.During this time we received several offers which were less than ideal with many bad offers from buyers, and his guidance, patience and sense of humor helped us to finally find a great deal.He was available to us on weekends and after hours via email, phone and text, even after the sale was done he returned email and text. The reason we chose his service was because we are primarily Spanish speakers. If we ever make a trip to Oregon we must meet in person.Thank you so very much Hector.

I have had the pleasure of working with Hector for many years. I appreciate his level of commitment to his clients and the knowledge that he has of the Real Estate market. He always gets right back to me, whether I email or call him. At closing, his clients only have great things to say about him.

We were nervous as it was our first home sale in 30 years! Hector was our realtor of choice. His vast knowledge reflected with the smooth, efficient process throughout the sale of our home. He puts his clients' needs first to assure a positive experience. Dang, he knows his stuff! And, all shared with a smile. He adds a nice touch with a thank you closing gift! He truly cares for his clients, which is a blessing in today's world. Hector is YOUR MAN!!

Hector was a true joy to work with - he is responsive, professional, and full of insight. We were selling a house that was tied up in numerous probate complications. Due to his experience with these situations, Hector provided invaluable, thoughtful, and ongoing guidance and advice. On several occasions, Hector went above and beyond the usual duties of a broker or realtor. Specifically, when we were unable to travel to the house and repair a door, Hector stopped by and made quick work of the issue. He even accompanied me to closing to ensure that our needs were taken care of. Hector's knowledge of the area's market is impressive; I felt quite comfortable trusting in him throughout the process. Hector has certainly made lifelong clients out of us.

As a top Portland Realtor since 1988, there is only one Realtor in Salem, Oregon I would send my clients to and that's Hector Garcia. Hector is a terrific human being and his caring personality means he takes amazing care of my buyers and sellers moving to/from Salem always putting their needs in front of his. The end result is I always know my clients will be in good hands with Hector.

Hector was truly awesome to work with and automatically earned my trust the first time I spoke with him. I had just gone through a divorce and had to take on a huge house (and mortgage) alone. He gave me great advice and was super realistic about timing, price, and potential for profit. He never attempted to push me into selling if it wasn't in my best interest and ended up putting together three competitive market analyses before I made the official decision to sell. He never once made me feel bad or pressured me.When I did decide to sell, work had relocated me across the country to D.C. and I was attempting to sell my house in Salem. I really didn't have many contacts back in Oregon, but Hector went above and beyond to help me get my house looking great and worked with my renters to arrange showings. He is professional, trustworthy, and super fun! I mean....just look at his professional picture! I always enjoyed our interactions, and he always found a way to put a smile on my face.If you are considering a realtor in Oregon, he is our guy! Thanks to his patience and advice, I walked away with a pretty decent profit in my pocket. I'd 100% recommend him again and again!

I have interacted with several Salem area real estate professionals over the years. There are many buyers' representatives who will say, "Oh, this place is cute as a button; you should buy it!" Then there's Hector. He brings to his profession a wealth of experience in, among others, the building trades. We were in the market to purchase a modest rental property, having sold our Portland rental condo. Hector took my wife and me to several properties and pointed out both their attributes, and deficiencies, few of either of which would we have been aware on our own, as I seriously doubt would the vast majority of buyers' real estate agents. Aside from possessing a depth of knowledge and an outstanding personality, Hector is also a boundless resource for tradespeople upon whom a buyer may wish to call to remedy deficiencies in a property that s/he may ultimately purchase. My search for a Salem area real estate buyers' representative (I assume that he also represents sellers) has ended with our fortunate introduction to Hector Garcia. I highly recommend his services to you.

Hector has been a wonderful resource for information as well as a great real estate agent. We bought a rental house with his help; his guidance and knowledge were invaluable in helping us find the ideal home for our situation. He was patient, courteous, responsive and looked out for our best interests. Since that time, I've contacted him on several occasions for advice on real estate related matters while working through an estate for our family, and he has been eager to help and provides outstanding customer service.

Hector is an amazing realtor! He helped me buy my first ever house when moving to Salem, Oregon and then when my husband and I wanted to transition to a bigger home He helped us sell our house and find the perfect home for us! He is very knowledgeable, kind and caring. He is a fantastic resource of the surrounding area and will make you feel right at home wherever you land. Very highly recommend!

To start with, this was the 3rd house my husband and I have purchased, and our past purchases were nothing but a pain that caused us such great anxiety that we weren’t ready to buy again. We had just relocated from CA to NV and learned we hated it. We knew very little about Salem, OR aside from what a high school friend who had relocated there a few years ago, had told me.We chose, just for the sake of not wanting to move again once we relocated to Salem, to buy a home. The realtor that was recommended to me, was no help at all and we needed all of the help we could get. Buying a house, in a different state, in an aggressive market made me think that this was going to be the most stressful purchase of all.I used Yelp to search for a realtor and read a review for Hector by a young couple that reminded us of ourselves, Overkill hoodie and all. I had a good feeling about Hector, that he wouldn’t be judgmental and would take us seriously. I contacted Hector via email, and he responded quickly. Since that day, he has always been very responsive, helpful and reassuring.My mom and I flew to Salem at the beginning of January to go house shopping and check out the area. Hector dedicated his whole weekend to us, we saw 6-7 houses on Friday, we re-visited a house I was very interested in on Saturday, we put in an offer that day and by the time we flew home Monday, our offer was accepted. The reason I was able to make such a quick decision on a house was due to Hector’s expertise, experience and guidance.During the 30-day closing period, which can be the worst part, Hector worked closely with my lender and the seller’s agent. He helped ease our anxiety by keeping us in the loop with the process.I recommend Hector as an agent, and although we don’t want to move again, I would definitely go back to him if that day ever came.Thank You Hector!

Happy to have Hector's help when purchasing my first home. Almost always available by phone and even when he didn't answer he would call back quickly. Helped explain the whole process without using confusing jargon and spoke Spanish so I didn't have to translate for my wife. Highly recommended
