Ron Ross

“It’s nice to work with a group of professionals that really know the industry. Compass worked with us to navigate some interesting twists and turns when purchasing land recently, and we could not have done it without them. Highly recommend their team – friendly, knowledgeable, local know-how, responsive and tenacious! We will use them again for any commercial real estate needs.” — Denise Senner

“Recently, were involved in a real estate transaction in the Bend/Redmond area. Ron Ross brought the concept to our investment group in 2012. At inception, he managed our expectations as to the time horizon, potential buyers, and IRR’s. The property was sold with coordination and precision. No mistakes. In retrospect, our expectations were managed thru the process with Ron’s professionalism and expertise. He disclosed conflicts, acted in his client’s best interests, maintained confidentiality, and displayed the tenants of a true real estate professional with his honesty and integrity.”— Dave Schmidt

“Ron and Terry were terrific. Received our questions and concerns graciously and attended to them efficiently and expertly. We sold both our properties very quickly. Their negotiations with the buyers proved to satisfy our concerns and get us our best price. I highly recommend their expertise! They are also gracious and interesting men!” — Eileen Heaton

“I can’t say enough about the talent, communication and passion Terry O’Neil and Ron Ross had in assisting me with every move and demand on this sale. I will genuinely remember this great experience and not soon forget the outstanding service and dynamics Compass Commercial provided.” — John Rice of Rice Properties (This is a condensed version, please click to read the full testimonial.)

“As part of the team that is responsible for selling bank-owned real estate, it is important we work with the best professionals in the market place. We are charged with selling the bank’s properties quickly and obtaining the highest price possible. This is where an experienced, dedicated and tenacious realtor is essential. I have had the pleasure of working with Ron Ross for the past nine months. Ron has listed and sold numerous pieces of property for the bank. Ron’s ability to take a complex deal and keep working it until it is fully completed and sold is unparalleled. Ron has been a real asset to our group.” — Gregg F. Weakley, VP/OREO Officer, Columbia State Bank

A good brokerage firm meets the client’s needs; the exceptional brokerage firm anticipates them. Compass is the exception.” — Columbia State Bank

“We are residential and commercial builders and developers. We have worked with Ron Ross on our commercial properties. The most recent was a lease transaction. In a very tough leasing environment Ron found a tenant for our entire 6,000-square-foot-plus downtown Bend office building and negotiated a five-year lease deal. The negotiations proved to be tough and sticky, but Ron’s perseverance, patience and determination made the deal happen. We are grateful to Ron for all of his wise counsel and assistance on our commercial transactions and would whole heartedly recommend him to others.” —Mark Wilhite, President, Copperline Development Incorporated

“Of all the decisions I made regarding my recent real estate purchase, the best one I made was choosing Ron Ross as our broker. His knowledge, experience, and understanding of the marketplace are perfectly matched with his sincere and relaxed manner. From my first property tours to the online searches to the numerous walkthroughs, and during all the financial negotiations, Ron masterfully provided the support needed while allowing me the space to make this decision. Ron has earned my unqualified recommendation. If any prospective clients have questions about working with Ron, they are welcome to contact me.” —Eric Plantenberg, Humm Kombucha

“As an experienced real estate attorney, I’ve dealt with countless commercial real estate brokers over the years, but never one better than Ron Ross. I have the utmost respect for Ron’s abilities and integrity. For several months earlier this year, I worked closely with Ron to find a suitable commercial investment property in Oregon. Ron found a great prospect and was instrumental in all phases of the transaction, including negotiations with the seller’s agent, preparation of sale documents, due diligence review and analysis, and financing strategies. Ron was extremely diligent in responding to the numerous issues and complexities that arose, and showed great ingenuity in problem-solving. Ultimately, we were not successful in putting a deal together, as the seller became intransigent. However, no broker could have done more than Ron. I intend to work with Ron in any and all future transactions, and will gladly refer my clients to him as well.” —Steve Bennett, Powers, McCulloch & Bennett

“Being an inexperienced real estate investor I was initially a little nervous. Therefore my primary priority was to locate a Broker who would assertively protect my interests. I consulted two realtors whom I trusted, both recommended Ron Ross for my commercial real estate investment. As with many commercial transactions, challenges emerged. It was at that time that Ron’s experience and willingness to protect and defend my interests became evident. Ron’s willingness to take a strong stand and not back down made it possible for us to complete the transaction successfully. I will most certainly consider Ron Ross for my future commercial real estate investments.” —Paul Hansen, Investor
