Real estate guidance that brings clarity, confidence, and better decisions in Bend, Oregon.
When you’re making a major real estate decision, you don’t need noise, pressure, or hype.
You need perspective, strategy, and someone who understands what’s truly at stake.
Kim and Kristine Halverson are a sister-led real estate team and licensed Principal Brokers with Cascade Hasson Sotheby’s International Realty, serving experienced buyers and sellers in Bend, Oregon and Central Oregon. They specialize in helping clients move forward thoughtfully—balancing market realities, lifestyle goals, and timing so decisions feel sound not just today, but years from now.
Their work is designed for people who want to feel informed, steady, and confident at every stage of the process.
A Different Starting Point
Kim and Kristine didn’t grow up in real estate, they grew up in family-owned restaurants, where success depended on consistency, service, and taking responsibility for people’s experience. That foundation shaped how they work long before real estate entered the picture.
When real estate did become their profession, it became a calling. One built on preparation instead of pressure, clarity instead of urgency, and relationships instead of transactions. Today, as third-generation Realtors, Kim and Kristine bring an earned perspective to every client relationship, one that respects both the financial and personal weight of real estate decisions.
Their clients are often navigating meaningful transitions:
- Relocating to Bend and learning how neighborhoods truly live
- Downsizing or rightsizing with intention
- Purchasing second homes with long term clarity
- Deciding when, and whether it’s the right time to sell
The goal isn’t speed.
The goal is making the right move.
Experience That Works in Your Favor
Kim Halverson has been licensed since 2002 and brings experience across the markets of Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Bend, Oregon. That range gives her a sharp understanding of how market cycles, pricing strategy, preparation, and timing interact and how small decisions can have long-term consequences.
With a Bachelor of Science in Business and Art History from Arizona State University, Kim approaches real estate both analytically and visually. She helps clients evaluate opportunities holistically balancing numbers, design, lifestyle, and future flexibility so they can move forward with clarity rather than second guessing.
Clients often say they feel calmer after conversations with Kim because they understand why a decision makes sense not just what to do next.
Guidance That Keeps the Process Grounded
Kristine Halverson, licensed since 2003, is also a Principal Broker and brings a steady, thoughtful presence to the team. Her role centers on communication, perspective, and collaborative guidance throughout each phase of the process.
With a Liberal Arts degree in Psychology from Pitzer College, Kristine has a natural ability to understand client priorities, anticipate concerns, and keep conversations productive and clear. She is known for her responsiveness and her attention to the details that shape a smooth experience working within a coordinated team approach that values preparation, clarity, and shared responsibility.
Clients often describe Kristine as reassuring and level headed, someone who helps the process feel manageable, well-paced, and supported without unnecessary stress.
What This Means for You
Working with Kim and Kristine means:
- You understand your options before you feel pressure to act
- You see the trade-offs clearly, not emotionally
- You know what matters and what doesn’t in today’s market
- You feel confident saying “yes,” “no,” or “not yet”
- You move forward with a plan that fits your life, not just the listing
Their approach is calm, strategic, and human combining deep local knowledge of Bend and Central Oregon with the professional reach and resources of a respected international real estate network.
A Better Real Estate Experience
Real estate doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or rushed to be successful.
It should feel clear, intentional, and well-guided.
Whether you’re selling a home in Bend, relocating to Central Oregon, or carefully considering your next chapter, Kim and Kristine believe the best outcomes come from thoughtful decisions made with the right information and the right support.
Clarity comes first.
Confidence follows.
