You may have seen or heard the news that The Hasson Company–the brokerage firm that I hang my real estate license with–has merged with Cascade Sotheby's. We are now called Cascade Hasson Sotheby's International Realty. A mouthful for sure!
I wanted to let you know that this does not change how we at Love Portland do our work. We will continue to practice the art and science of real estate in the same high-touch, high-tech way. The Sotheby's motto “A luxury experience for every price range" resonates with the way we've practiced real estate for decades. I can already see that the "high tech" part will be improved as a result of the global reach and online engagement that Sotheby's brings to the equation. I look forward to meeting new agents and learning more about what this new company has to offer. So far, so good.
We joined Mike Hasson twenty-four years ago because he stood for high principles and hard work. He built a highly respected, world-class local firm of exceptionally productive agents and he gave us an environment that fostered success, but never at the cost of authentic human connection. He always said that success is about the people you surround yourself with. We lost Mike to Mesothelioma on December 31, 2020. He is sorely missed.
As always, we'll let you know how it goes and share all the new fun info and tools we have to offer. Speaking of which, one of the perks of being a Sotheby's agent is that we can get any client a private tour of the Sotheby’s Auction House in New York. Give us a ring if you’re headed that way or just want to chat about what’s going on in your world!
