Reviews
Excellent and Knowledgable.
I have had the pleasure to work directly with both Devri and Dom on different projects both selling and purchasing investment and personal residential properties. They do a fantastic job with all aspects of the transaction…from beginning to close. Real estate can be complicated but they make it easy.
Highly recommend!

I recently sold and bought houses using Devri and Dominic Doty at Windemere. I so appreciated them pricing the home appropriately, their helpfulness in getting documents in order, and being at the inspections. They went above and beyond and helped me find a contractor to help prepare the home to be sold, and get me moved. Such a wonderful experience to work with these two.
Devri with high integrity and purpose, took the time to review our home and property to determine what the best options were for selling it along with pricing.
We’ve been a client of The Doty Team for our last 3 real estate transactions. They’re not only great with communication and knowing the market, they are also very helpful with referring contractors for all needs and referring you to their mortgage broker who works just as hard. We certainly don’t want to move anytime soon but if we were it’s comforting to know Devri and Dominic are there for us.
I have had the pleasure of working with Devri and Dominic Doty on three separate real estate transactions over the past four years. Throughout each home buying and selling process, they were incredibly communicative. They promptly answered calls and emails, keeping us informed about every development. Their ability to clearly explain complex contract details was particularly helpful. Our first interaction was in helping us to locate and purchase our forever dream home. Devri and Dominic profoundly understood the housing market in our area and they are experts in negotiation, which allowed us to get an incredible deal that exceeded our expectations.
They also went out of their way to ensure every detail was taken care of – from arranging inspections to researching potential issues with a property. From start to finish, it was an absolute pleasure to work with them!
Once our home purchase was complete, I continued to work with them in selling my previous home. At each step in the process, Devri and Dominic came through with the same commitment to excellence. From advising me on how to prepare the home, to referrals to local resources, such as handymen and home cleaners, to walking through the listing process to get top offers on the property it was a no stress, highly successful transaction. There were multiple offers on the property within the first few days and the home sold well above my asking price which was a wonderful bonus.
Most recently, I again had the good fortune to engage with Devri and Dominic in selling a rental property in the local area. Again, the attention to detail and the guidance along the way provided an exceptional outcome. On the first weekend, the property received the offer I was hoping for and closed within 30 days. I replaced that property with another rental in another part of the state. The sale and purchase were done as a Section 1031 home exchange. Not only did Devri refer me to an excellent realtor in the other city but they worked together to ensure the finances and timing of the sale and purchase were within the parameters of the exchange process. What seemed like a daunting process turned out to be easy, quick, and painless.
Along the way I had the pleasure of referring Devri to friends who were selling a lovely home on property in the rural area of our County. I am happy to report that they enjoyed the same experience and outcome and couldn’t have been happier with the referral.
Needless to say, I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch real estate services.

Devri was incredibly professional and helpful throughout the entire home buying process. I recommend her full heartedly.
After moving from Portland, I was referred to the Doty Team via my previous agent. I was immediately teated like I was part of the family and Devri was able to provide great insight into a vast stretch of the Willamette Valley. Devri always went above and beyond and was willing to show us houses in McMinnville, Salem, and all the rural areas in between. Devri’s patience with us was amazing. Over the span of two-plus years, our location and home preferences changed on numerous occasions. Once we found “the one” Devri’s knowledge and experience in closing deals really shined. We were able to win the bid at a much lower offer than I anticipated, on a home that had a lot of potential buyers and was only on the market for a short amount time. During the inspection and closing process Devri and Dom helped us negotiate money for repairs. Again, Devri and Dom’s knowledge and experience helped us secure more money back from the seller than I had anticipated. My Wife and I were first-time home buyers and it was comforting having a team that was willing to answer all the questions we had and be willing to guide us through the process. I will be recommending the Doty Team to all my friends in the Willamette Valley.
Patience, excellence, professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness are what immediately come to mind when thinking about Devri and Dom. I cannot say enough nice things about them. Thanks again!!!

Devri and Dom are the best! We wouldn’t even contemplate using anyone else for our real estate needs. Eric and Lisa Cutler

Devri was excellent to work with! We had very specific requirements and timelines for our purchases. She was right by my side the whole time, from finding the perfect homes to the final walk-throughs. I would recommend the Doty team anytime: professional, knowledgeable, and honest.
The Doty team was a delight to work with from start to finish. Because we had a very unique and special property to sell we did a lot of research to ensure we had the right realtor representing us. After reading all the stellar reviews we called the Doty group. Dom immediately responded to our call and was extremely professional and polite. From the moment we met Devri and Dom, we knew we were in good hands. As much as we were excited to move to our new home, it was emotional and difficult to leave the property we loved so much. Devri was able to be respectful and sympathetic as she guided us through the process. Our communications were primarily with Devri, who is such a lovely, genuine person. She and Dom were extremely responsive throughout the process, and made you feel like you were their only customer. We highly recommend The Doty Group. You will not be disappointed.
We could not have done this without Dom + Devri! We were/are first time home buyers and had a lot of questions (and feedback coming from all angles) and Devri helped get us organized and narrowed in on what actually made sense for us. Along with being very caring about us and this important step she has had invaluable advice and referrals for professionals to help with anything we need. She even gave us a heads up for some local yard sales knowing we need to stock up on a few things! We LOVE our new home and are so grateful for her kind guidance. She is clearly well respected in the industry/area–everyone else we worked with from the loan agents to the title company raved about her.
Devri and Dom exceeded all expectations! They were there and knowledgeable every step of the way; they had a good plan for everything; they were easy to communicate with; I cannot say enough about how awesome they were! I would hire them again 100 times. They also came very highly recommended from everyone, that is how I found them. Do not waste your time with anyone else.
Domonic Doty, and the team are amazing!
I couldn’t imagine having a better experience selling my home.
They are all incredibly personal, each always willing to go above and beyond, and truly treat you like family.
I recommend anyone considering real estate adventures in the area to give them a call, you won’t regret it!

Dom and Devri were an absolute delight to work with. They made the process so easy, and even helped us complete some last minute projects before the sale. They have very clear instructions and helpful guides about what to do prior to sale, and what is expected to get your house ready to show, which I really appreciated. We primarily worked with Dom, and he was available consistently for any help/question/reassurance. I don’t hesitate to recommend them to family and friends!
We had a great experience with Dom, Devri and MacKenzie! They got us into a lovely house, and quickly! They were thoughtful, listened to our needs, and executed very professionally on our behalf. I would recommend them 100%!
The Doty team is INCREDIBLE! Selling a home is inherently stressful and Dom and Devri were so quick to put our minds at ease every step of the way. Whether it was offering advice/guidance or helping with referrals for contractors they were there offering their support every step of the way. These folks are as knowledgeable as they are kind and really know what they are doing. I would highly recommend the Doty team to anyone looking for a realtor, you won’t regret it!
I cannot recommend Windermere Real Estate enough!
Devri & Dominic helped us find our dream house and they were kind, knowledgeable, communicative, and responsive throughout the entire process.
Devri & Dominic took charge and got us into our first home! We will forever be greatful for the amazing team that helped us make our dreams come true! Again, I highly recommend to anyone in the market right now.
We will absolutely trust Windermere again in the future!

The Doty Team represented me in my recent selling/buying transactions. Devri and Dom were, at all times, caring, professional and fun! They both worked hard to find me the perfect buyers as well as locating my ideal new home. I highly recommend them and look forward to working with them in the future.
Had a wonderful home buying experience. We worked with Dom and his team and felt supported and listened to the whole time. This was during the height of the buying frenzy and we never felt rushed or pressured to buy something that wouldn’t have worked for us. Always responsive and easy to talk to. Highly recommended buying experience.
