The Love Portland Team
lee mcknight, principal broker
While contemplating purpose and meaning, over a summer spent answering phones at a brokerage firm, I discovered something important. I discovered I was witnessing the power of homeownership to transform lives, families, and communities. Right there, from that tiny reception desk, I realized the practice of real estate is a public service, homeownership is an equalizing force.
It's been 20 years, or so, and my love affair with real estate has only deepened. Devoted to the craft–skills honed through years of hard work and experience–I'm proud of the practice I've built and grateful for the opportunity to share it with you. Housing is a human right because, wherever we find each other, we all come from home.
I'd love to hear about your real estate goals, dreams, and visions. Feel free to set up an appointment. We'll sit down and chat about whether or not our skills, expertise, and craftsmanship will benefit all of us.
Designations: EA Broker, Masters Circle
jesse manis, broker
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I relocated from Seattle to Portland in 2005. When I purchased my own home here, I discovered a passion for real estate -- the challenge of the search, the complexities of the process, and the satisfaction and pride in owning a home. I went on to establish a successful retail business in Portland all the while monitoring the Portland real estate market. In time the opportunity arose for me to make a career change.
I bring a nuanced understanding of service, a solid work ethic, consistent attention to detail, a sense of empathy, and the important ability to have fun. These traits are crucial when engaged in an aspect of your life that is so significant!
It would be wonderful if all of our transactions were seamless, but when we hit a bump in the road you can feel confident in my skills and understanding. I have the good fortune of working with a truly skilled and supportive team, well-versed in all aspects of this complex business.
