PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Brian Porter

I have been a real estate broker in Portland since 2003, and have been a top producing agent for JMA Properties for the past 10 years. I have the experience and skill set to help you buy or sell real estate in Portland, and I am happy working with both sellers and buyers.
A listing agent (works for the seller) is frequently a problem solver. He or she might face questions like... How can we get top dollar for our house on a large lot? Well, a land division might be the answer. I have done this before personally and with my clients. You might be able to sell a house plus a lot, instead of just a lot. What if I need to sell my house in order to buy a new one? You would need to identify the right property and market your home at a competitive price. We help clients navigate contingent sales and offers all the time. It is doable, even in our current market with low inventory.
In addition to being an experienced listing agent, I have worked with hundreds of buyers over the past 17 years. Buyer's agents need to be good at research, and they need to be good listeners. Buyers usually know what they are looking for, but sometimes the right property might not be available. In this case, the strategy might be to build an online profile for the home buyer, and when the right property comes on the market, an automated program will send an email to the buyer immediately. I will listen to your needs and help you find the right house!
I partnered with Amanda Folkestad earlier this year. Between the two of us we will get the job of buying or selling done for you. We have experience with investors, first time buyers, move up buyers, builders, new construction, condos, floating homes, land sales and more. As a team we work together to ensure that your home purchase or sale is clear and goes as smooth as possible. We have a great team of other people we work with as well, including; bankers, inspectors, handymen, contractors and a social media guru.
Feel free to reach out anytime. We are here for you. www.brianporter.com
