FAQ
1. What types of clients have you worked with?
You! Seriously though, this is BY FAR the question we get the most. Typically, a team will have a niche audience, but for us we've served everyone from Troutdale to Tokyo with considerable portfolios across ALL price points.
2. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
We had a family decide to move in late autumn whom we helped to sell and buy. We had an accepted offer within a few days that was $50k over asking AND their offer was accepted on their dream home. But then in inspections, things got hairy due to some of the new property extending too far, and the paperwork started flying. We had to race and think quickly to keep everything on track to get them settled in before Christmas, and the whole thing felt like a bona fide Christmas miracle!
3. How did you get started in Real Estate?
I started back in 2001, straight out of college with a degree in business. I was fortunate to work with a small team who, at the time, were some of the only folks around treating real estate like a full-time business. It was a terrific learning experience and a perfect springboard to launch my own career as a full-time broker.

I highly recommend Ryan Cavanaugh as a Buyer's Agent. Ryan assisted my family in finding a home in 2026, accompanying us on the purchase of two properties (first property we chose to withdraw from, second property we purchased). He was a great Buyer's Agent: he was responsive and supportive, always had our best interest at heart, had great listening and communication skills, and was a good negotiator and advisor especially given his construction background. Thank you, Ryan!

I had a very positive experience working with my listing agent Greg Lawler. He truly went above and beyond the call of duty in every way. From day one, he was hands-on and fully invested in getting my home ready to sell. He even came over on a Saturday with his college aged son and they helped completely reorganize my packed garage, which made a huge difference in how the home showed. Throughout the time the house was on the market, Greg hosted multiple open houses and consistently worked his network and followed up on leads over several months to finally secure an offer. What really stood out was his dedication to the details once we were in contract- he not only scheduled and coordinated all necessary repairs, but also rolled up his sleeves and helped complete several of them himself. His work ethic, communication, and commitment made what was a super stressful process for me feel smoother and more manageable. I couldnt have asked for a better person to help sell my home and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a truly exceptional listing agent.

There's no comparison, Brody Cannon is by far the best realtor I have ever known. And I purchased and sold a few homes. I would highly recommend Brody without question to anyone that wants to find the perfect home, or sell their home for the optimal price.

We had an exceptional experience working with Jett. From the very beginning, he was incredibly proactive, responsive, and thoughtful. Because we were buying from out of state on a compressed timeline, we needed someone we could fully trust, and he exceeded every expectation. What stood out most was how seamless he made the entire process feel. He consistently stayed one step ahead, often anticipating our questions and already having thoughtful solutions ready. His calm, optimistic demeanor made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and even enjoyable. He was also an outstanding advisor. Whether it was guiding us on offer strategy, helping us understand appropriate pricing, or giving us his assessment of a homes condition during tours, his judgment was spot-on. We always felt informed, supported, and confident that we were making smart decisions. Most importantly, we truly felt that he had our best interests at heart at all times. We trusted him completely and felt at ease knowing we were in such capable hands and that he was helping us get to the best possible outcome. We would recommend Jett without hesitation to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely excellent real estate partner.

Monika is really great and was there for me from the very beginning. She knows the inside out of the whole process of buying a house and was able to guide and assist me through every step. She was able to answer most of my questions straight off and if she didn't know the answer, she'd have if for me quickly. She's very knowledgeable, personable, diligent, and responsible and l would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house. Thank you Monika!!
