Blog Buyer You have to play to win!

You have to play to win!

By David Columbus, May 24, 2023

Nothing on the market, buyers can’t find what they want?  Get in the car and find it!  Google Street View can work too in combination with Portlandmaps.com or other municipalities’ databases.  Compile a highly targeted list and send a thoughtful individualized note.  I have clients with some very specific location and layout needs, it’s been tough but we haven’t given up.  You have to play to win!

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.
