Meet Donnie Eggers

Who is Donnie Eggers?

Donnie Eggers is the founder and Principal Broker of Nexus 360 Realty in Bend, Oregon (Oregon Principal Broker License #201225160). Over the past 12 months, Donnie has been a top 0.5% agent in Central Oregon, ranking in the top 10 of 2,200+ local REALTORS® by closed transactions.

Donnie came to real estate from the building side. He built and invested in property before he ever listed a home, and that background shapes how he looks at every house: construction quality, long-term value and resale potential, the way a builder and an investor would. He lives in Central Oregon with his wife, Jessica, and their Bernedoodle, Popcorn.

What are Nexus 360 Realty's mission and vision?

Mission: To make every real estate experience so outstanding that clients are eager to share our name with the people they care about.

Vision: To lead the premier boutique brokerage in Central Oregon, trusted to guide every transaction with integrity and care.

What qualifies Donnie Eggers to represent me?

Donnie Eggers is a licensed Oregon Principal Broker with a background in building and real estate investing, top 0.5% production in Central Oregon and a full support team behind every client.

  • A real support community: partner Jesse Buckley, also a top 0.5% Central Oregon agent; brokers Mike Richardson and Scott Dickinson; and a dedicated transaction coordinator, so you always have a responsive point of contact.
  • A proven track record: 298 sales and more than $142 million closed together with Jesse Buckley.
  • Clients who come back: more than half of Donnie's business comes from past clients and referrals.

Both Jesse and Donnie hold Associates Degrees, and have compiled extensive continued education records in the scope of Real Estate sales and related topics, including Earth Advantage Energy Efficiency, and more.

How does Donnie Eggers negotiate?

With preparation, data and calm persistence. Donnie listens more than he talks, figures out what matters most to the other side, and uses his builder and investor background to turn market data and inspection findings into leverage for his clients.

  • For buyers: offers built to win without overpaying, backed by local comps, days-on-market trends and inspection insight. One Nexus 360 buyer saved $22,000 through negotiation.
  • For sellers: strategic pricing and marketing that create competition, then protecting that price through inspection and appraisal.
  • Two brokers in your corner: Donnie and Jesse Buckley work out strategy together, so every deal gets a second experienced set of eyes.

What is Donnie Eggers' favorite quote?

“Measure twice, cut once." It's a builder's rule Donnie picked up long before real estate, and he still runs every deal by it. The prep work on pricing, comps and inspections happens up front, so his clients aren't scrambling to fix mistakes later.

Jesse is a lifelong Central Oregon resident.

That history shows up in his advice: he knows which neighborhoods have changed, which are about to, and why.

At the negotiating table, clients describe Jesse as "a bulldog in the best possible way."

What is Jesse Buckley's favorite quote?

  • Market monitoring: instant notice of new listings, price drops and back-on-market homes

  • What AI can't do: walk a property, spot construction issues, read the other side in a negotiation or carry a legal duty to protect you. That's where Donnie and Jesse come in.

Building wealth

What are the 9 ways real estate pays off?

Owning real estate builds wealth in nine main ways, and most owners benefit from several at once:

  1. Appreciation: property values rise over time.
  2. Principal paydown: every mortgage payment builds equity.
  3. Leverage: a small down payment controls a large asset.
  4. Cash flow: rental income beyond expenses.
  5. Tax benefits: mortgage interest and property tax deductions, plus depreciation on rentals.
  6. Capital gains exclusion: up to $250,000 ($500,000 for married couples) of profit on a primary home can be tax-free when you qualify.
  7. Forced appreciation: adding value through renovations or ADUs.
  8. 1031 exchanges: deferring taxes by trading into another investment property.
  9. Inflation hedge: rents and values tend to rise with inflation while a fixed mortgage payment stays the same.

This is general information, not tax or legal advice. Talk with a CPA or attorney about your situation.
