What is an Accredited Buyer’s Representative?
WHY USE AN ABR®
Buying a home is no small matter. Besides being the largest financial transaction you may ever undertake, it’s probably also the most complex. There are many good reasons to work with a qualified real estate professional—especially a trained professional who has earned the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) designation, representing best-in-class buyer services.
When you look for an ABR® before you look for a home, you’ll be served, not sold. Your interests become their interests. And you’ll be working with someone who has gone the extra mile by completing specialized training in delivering the best in buyer-representation services. Plus, a REALTOR® who has an ABR® designation also has an established track record, with proven experience in representing the concerns of homebuyers.
The ABR® designation is awarded through the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council, or REBAC, which was founded in 1988 to promote superior buyer-representation skills and services. REBAC is an affiliate of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR).

Testimonials
Brian has been a tremendous help to marketing Greg Welch Construction homes and showing the quality of work we can provide. From video adds to print and open communication – We recieve the highest quality of promotion a builder in this market could ask for. Thanks Brian! -Anonymous
Kim Chapin from the Ladd Group is awesome! Coming from out of state, we really needed an expert who could read our needs quickly and help to navigate details from long distance. Kim went beyond our expectations and has helped us to negotiate our way thru a complicated buy. Kim and the Ladd Group are top notch!
Steve LaCrosse from the Ladd Group was a spectacular real estate agent. He took the time to get to know who we were and what we needed during the process. I felt like he cared about matching us up with the right property instead of just selling something. I’ve already recommended him to many people asking for agents who know the area from the view of a family member, not just that of a salesman.
Brian excelled in all aspects of what I would expect from a realtor. The bottom line is that he successfully sold our home for full asking price in a mere two days. He is professional, communicates step-by-step the process, and made me feel confident that our home was going to be given his full attention. His took great pictures and uses high quality marketing materials. I highly recommend (and I have already to family) working with Brian and would do again. -Anonymous
My wife and I could not have been more pleased with the work that Brian and the Ladd Group performed with the sale of our home, and the purchase of our new one! Not only was the listing of our home really well done, but the execution was incredibly impressive. The house sold in one week for over asking! Our needs were somewhat complex as well, with the sale/purchase simultaneous, and Brian’s teammate Lily Leedom worked daily with us to find our new home. Lily was diligent in learning our prefer…
Lily Dupont Leedom is A FIVE star broker without exception. Our process was without error or issue from opening escrow to closing. Ever appointment was met on time, and every process was explained, initiated and followed though by Lily. This is not our first home purchase by far, but Lily was the most accommodating and experienced agent we have dealt with. Highest recommendations given here.
Brian was the best agent to work with. He was always willing to work around my difficult and last minute schedule. He understands his clients and works to get them what they want while looking out for their best interests. His background in construction, knowledge of the industry really helped as well. I HIGHLY recommend him. -Anonymous
We recently moved to Bend and started looking for our new home. Erin Martin was one of the few brokers we contacted, however she was unique in that she intuitively understood what we were seeking and appreciated our exacting requirements. Actually Erin was the only broker that suggested we also look at new construction as a way to avoid purchasing something that we might feel would require extensive remodeling. She was right on the money! When we decided on the home we wanted it was still in the…
This Ladd team is the most professional team of realtors I have ever dealt with. They are compassionate and detailed in every phase of the process and their communication is above reproach as we were involved in every phase of the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home. Bryan Hilts was especially helpful during the entire process of selling our home and buying a townhome.
I have closed several deals with Brian in Colorado and he is one of the most diligent, responsive and competent brokers my company has utilized. I would highly recommmend him to anyone. He totally understands how a transaction should be completed and gets you there with little aggravation. -Anonymous
