OREGON REAL ESTATE HISTORY!

By Jessica Ward, March 27, 2023

HISTORY IS MADE!

I am officially the first and only Black Realtor to close a transaction with an African American owed title & escrow company in the state of Oregon! Let’s go Vanport Title & Escrow!

She/Her

My life is fueled by a profound passion for serving others and making a positive impact on my community.

  A proud Pacific NW native, I am intimately acquainted with the fabric of local life – its people, its treasures, and its countless opportunities. My sociable nature thrives on connection, and I embrace the roles of an active listener and clear communicator, values that underpin the ability to forge authentic bonds. Aptly dubbed the “queen of resources and connections” by my clients, I bring an extensive bag of “hats” I wear to the world of real estate. I seamlessly meld a vast reservoir of industry knowledge with a deeply personalized touch, ensuring that every individual need is met. My specializations encompass an array of real estate experience and knowledge. From guiding first-time home buyers, strategizing with investors, building with developers, to facilitating seamless relocations for those venturing from afar. I'm also known to expertly navigate the intricate terrain of down payment assistance programs, grants, and investment opportunities.
