Gratitude, Hope and Giving

By Andy Meeks, November 24, 2020

As the sun begins to set on the most unpredictable, challenging, and strange year ever, I am filled with gratitude for my best friend, teammate and wife Sarah, our home and our health, as well as my family and friends, the kickass community of brokers at Living Room Realty, and, of course, all of my clients. I look forward to this time every year to reflect on what brings me joy and harmony, health and resiliency, and to recharge in anticipation of a new year and a fresh start.

2021 is sure to deliver welcome and much-needed change, but we need to continue to work together to meet our collective challenges. I’m hopeful that we do that and continue along the pathway that was forged through the tumult of this year. May you and your loved ones find health, safety and comfort in the days ahead and I hope that we can all see each other again soon.

Every month, I match and donate 100% of my marketing budget to organizations fighting to end racism, providing access to housing, promoting human rights & preserving civil liberties. This month, I proudly donated to NAYA – the Native American Youth & Family Center, now in its 46th year serving the Portland metro region.

NAYA’s mission is to enhance the diverse strengths of native youth and families in partnership with the community through cultural identity and education. As a vibrant community center serving members from 380 tribes, NAYA is youth-centered, family driven, and Elder-guided. Learn more here: www.nayapdx.org

He/Him

My clients are always my top priority, and my singular focus is their success. This is the intention I set every day. My training and background as a licensed attorney helps me lead with a sharp attention to detail, a keen ear and focused voice, and an unwavering commitment to integrity, transparency and discretion. I’m a passionate advocate and I thrive when helping others succeed, and I’m always available to connect over a cup of coffee to learn how I can help make good things happen. Read my client reviews here. The choice to become a real estate broker was a joyful combination of two very different careers. Prior to moving to Portland in 2008, I was an environmental and title closing attorney in Massachustts. Since then, I've served as a program manager and fundraising professional for Portland-based non-profit organizations Friends of Trees, The Freshwater Trust and Ecotrust. While not scouting homes and helping clients, you can find me riding bicycles, skiing, digging in the garden, experimenting in the kitchen, and exploring the stunning beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Please let me know how I can help you or someone you know. Thank you! *I'm licensed as an attorney in Massachusetts and can't offer any sort of legal advice.
