Getting to Know Team Birtola Garmyn


Check out this write-up from our friends at Intrepid Forward

And now, a word from Hans and Franz... 


Intrepid Biz of the Week: Team Birtola Garmyn High Desert Realty


Hello little girlieman Facebook-blog readers. This is Hans and Franz. Why are you just sitting there in your little ergonomic chair with the tiny little squeaky wheels instead of working out? Don’t you want to look like us? Of course you do!

You might also be asking yourself, “Why are twin pillars of muscleitude like Hans and Franz taking time to talk to people who are not as much huge as we am?’”

That’s because we want to tell you about two other Awesometonians from the planet Awesometon where we were born. They are the us of the realty world.

“We’re here to pump you up!”


They cannot curl a metric ton of iron (as a warm up) or derail a train with a single pectoral twitch like we can, but they move vast amounts of real estate that make other realtors look like Flabby McFlabmeister—yah! They will market your home or help you find the right home with super space technology they stole from the future, and an unstoppable army of pumped up real estate powerhouses. Team Birtola-Garmyn ranks #1 in Oregon and they have constantly ranked in the Top 3 Prudential Teams in the USA!

But here’s what we think is flextastic: These aren’t pencil-neck desk jockeys who will get a hernia trying to push a SOLD sign into moist playground sand. The Rubenator was a Navy weapons technician and a Serpico-tough cop before turning his sights on Central Oregon real estate. Jim has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do…and he likes marine aquariums and judo-chopping large man-eating sharks into sushi. But just like us, they’re totally friendly and stuff, yah, and they’ve been helping lots of people for the last 20 years.


Look at this tiny little picture. This just demonstrates the awesome humility of the Hans and Franz of real estate—Jim Birtola and Ruben Garmyn. To them, it’s all about the customer. We give them two biceps up!
Visit Team Birtola-Garmyn on Facebook HERE  or we’ll come over and show you what “house flipping” really means, yah?

Real Estate Market Update



Watch on your mobile device >>


Hi Jim Birtola Here!  I wanted to give you an update on how the Real Estate market  did over the summer. We saw a phenomenal increase in sales to the extent that we are selling 2+ homes per day.  We are starting to see properties sell in areas that were very slow moving before. Currently in Bend and Redmond there are not enough homes for buyers that are out there. So, if you are looking to sell, it would be best to get your home on the market before winter comes and home sales slowdown.

 As we’ve said before you should always interview your realtor when looking to buy or sell, we would love the opportunity to show you how we have the best fees in CO and the greatest web presence to make sure your home gets sold in the shortest time.

For the best exposure, your home will be on the nation’s top 50 real estate websites and the top 3 Central Oregon real estate websites.  Your home is also marketed through our social media platform where we’re able to keep people interested in our sites. Two of these websites are http://birtola-garmyn.blogspot.com/ and  http://wwwbendoregonrealestate.blogspot.com/  This is where you will find great info not only on current homes for sale but great gardening tips, home maintenance and great events all around Central Oregon.

And speaking of great events, we are hosting the Dave Ramsey EntreLeadership Simulcast on September 21st. And this is an event you won’t want to miss! There is only one week left to get your tickets to attend this great business event, space is limited. The event is geared towards business owners, managers, team leaders and those looking to start their own company.  I’m personally indorsing this event, we use Dave Ramsey’s principles to run our business, which has helped us to become the #1 real estate team in OR.

So please come and join us as we want to encourage local businesses to work together. We will have a networking hour to start the day off, and lunch will be provided on site as well! To purchase tickets go tohttp://bendoregonrealestate.com/daveramsey.html

I look forward to meeting you there and learning how we can work together in the future.
