Welcome home to University Park!

By David Columbus, October 12, 2021

My clients offer was accepted! They stood their ground, refused the bidding war and our backup position came through and won the day. They are looking forward to enjoying life in the the University park neighborhood with quick access to St. Johns and Forest Park. Their new backyard is quiet, beautiful and private with a hot tub and a perfect little pergola for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Do you have a perfect home in mind? I would love to help you. My experience includes residential, commercial, investment property, and multi-family housing. I specialize in historic and mid-century homes.  Smart, personalized client service is key and over 90 percent of my ongoing business is referred from satisfied clients.

He/Him

Ok, here’s my snapshot. I moved to Portland in October of 1998, moved for love. I’ve been a licensed real estate broker in Oregon since 2000 and would describe myself as a general practitioner helping people navigate residential, investment, and owner-user commercial markets as well as doing some residential tenant representation. My work experience has ranged from swinging a hammer to brokering Eurodollar Futures. Me and my husband and two cats live in the Overlook/Arbor Lodge neighborhood, together we have built a 20-door rental portfolio and even run a small Airbnb business. I am originally from Traverse City, MI (NW lower MI), and graduated from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, MI. My quarter-life crisis was spent crewing/hitchhiking on sailing yachts around the Caribbean, British Isles, and Mediterranean Sea for three years. My mid-life crisis was spent with my partner sailing from Portland, OR down to Mexico and hanging out for a year. I'm good with crises. I work with buyers, sellers, and tenants who are all looking to thread the housing needle.
