As of this last month, we’ve officially opened an office in Oregon! Although our official office is in Clackamas, Oregon, we are recruiting home-office agents to work for us and cover anywhere the Regional Multiple Listing Service (RMLS) covers.

Not all agents made it (yes, clients come first), but those who did got to see our new office and conference room, see first hand how to use our new electronic file management system, and meet our mortgage and insurance partners (who provided the delicious lunch!).
