About Tim

Oregon native Tim Rist has always been ahead of his time—literally. Having begun his construction career at age 12, graduated from college at age 19, and received an exemption from the board of the Oregon Association of Realtors® to become the youngest principal broker in the state’s history, Tim was never one to sit around and wait for life to come to him. His tireless drive and outlook have influenced his meteoric and continuing success as well as his client mission: to facilitate abundant living, generational wealth, and unforgettable experiences through real estate. Born and raised in the Willamette Valley, Tim accumulated his first construction experience building a home with his uncle from the ground up. He was still studying communications at Oregon State University when he became an entrepreneur, launching what would turn into a million-dollar painting business and managing 100 employees and over 400 projects. When a job injury intervened in 2013, Tim responded by earning his real estate license and achieving equal if not greater success. He was named Rookie of the Year, doubled his business for three consecutive years, and closed more than 350 transactions in his first four years as an agent—without ever sacrificing customer service. Tim specializes in luxury homes and farm properties and has facilitated commercial sales, business-to-business deals, and land developments throughout Oregon. Much of his flexibility stems from a versatile career that includes sales; construction, property, and brokerage management; property developments; flips; subdivisions; business coaching; and life coaching. Tim’s drive is magnetic and infectious, attracting and inspiring like-minded talent and even helping turn former minimum-wage employees into six-figure-earning agents. Tim leads an equally fulfilling personal life with his daughter Maisy and partner Micayla. He enjoys writing and playing music and doing anything outdoors: mountain climbing, hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, surfing, snowboarding, skiing, boating, and flying. Tim is involved in several nonprofit initiatives, including the Adult & Teen Challenge, and he serves on the board of the Safe Haven Humane Society. He also runs the Rivendell Collective, a retreat and events property in the foothills of the Willamette Valley.

Experience couldn't have gone any smoother!

I was a first time home buyer looking for a place within the Portland market. From start to finish, I felt like I had to do little on my own. He asked good initial questions about what I was looking for in a home to not only provide some direction for myself, but also narrow the search from what was available on the market at the time. Due to that process, we were able to find the house I wanted to place an offer on within the first day of actually going out and looking at homes. In regards to the negotiations, this is where I feel Tim really went the extra mile. I felt we got the best deal we could have gotten. There were a lot of components to the negotiations that Tim educated me on and easily explained where we could push the deal in our favor. From the initial meeting to keys in hand was roughly a 45 day process. I didn't feel any sense of buyers remorse and am truly thankful for this place I get to now call home. Thank you Brother, Ben

Without a doubt, go with Tim Rist!

With a tremendous dedication and a combined effort from Tim’s team at D.O.R.E, we were successful in finding new owners for the unique property formerly known as ”The All One Farm”. I was referred to Tim from a highly reputable agent in the San Francisco Bay Area, and he lived up to her recommendation in superlative ways including, researching and creating an informative narrated video about the property’s history in collaboration with his talented musician brother, helped to find skilled people to facilitate all manner of cleaning, maintenance, and testing of systems, and ultimately guided us through a complicated sale to its completion. I sincerely believe Tim and his team earned every penny of their commission!

The new age of real estate is here

Tim Rist brought a level of new age marketing and multimedia that I didn’t know existed in real estate. Tim has extensive knowledge and experience, which lead to a hassle free sale of our home. I did not expect to make a friend who I still connect with long after the sale; what a great guy!

Tim is the hardest working real estate agent - he will work for YOU!!!

I would like to share my experience as a seller with Tim Rist / DORE. In 2022 I was trying to sell my primary residence in Rickreall which was zoned Residential/Commercial. My home was stunning but because of it's location it created challenges. At that time, the rates were beginning to climb and the prices of property were starting to drop. I had just ended my contract with the last realtor (Second of two) that I was working with. I was very discouraged and felt like realtors were lazy and untrustworthy. Then one day I received a call from Tim Rist. He saw my property online and wanted to be the one to showcase and sell it. My wife and I were impressed with his creative manner of marketing properties and "thinking outside the box" to captivate the buyer. His extensive knowledge of the real estate world along with his integrity was refreshing. It gave us the confidence that our best interest would be looked after. Within a month after we signed with Tim/DORE we had a buyer! It became a complicated, multi-party transaction. However, through consistent communications, perseverance and hard work, Tim was able to smoothly close all three transactions successfully in a timely manner. We are so grateful that we had Tim as our realtor. He worked very hard for us and the other parties involved - he earned every penny! We highly recommend Tim/DORE hands down!! With Great Appreciation, Jim & Rosita Briedwell

Tim and Team are Rockstars

Tim and his team have helped me buy and sell multiple commercial and residential properties. In each transaction, communication about the process was great, and I felt Tim worked hard for me and my best interest. If you’re looking for someone you can trust, who genuinely cares about his clients and has amazing knowledge of the industry, you don’t need to look any further!
