The Home Team formed in 2010 with the idea that a team of Realtors could provide our clients with a higher level of experience and service than we could as individual agents. Our way of working together encourages collaboration, pools resources and knowledge, and ensures constant availability to our clients even during our vacation and family time. We named our company “HOME TEAM REALTY” because we are so proud of and dedicated to our team model.
Our team utilizes centralized communication methods so that each team member is always up to date on our clients’ goals and transactions. Our unique system and organized use of the best real estate technologies allows us to share relevant information with each other in a timely and seamless fashion and we are consistently listed as one of the top 100 brokers in the Portland area.
