I am Adrian Wild. For 11 years I have helped people around Portland buy their first place, sell the one they raised a family in, and figure out what comes next. No team screening your calls. No script. Just me, telling you what I actually think your situation looks like.
I answer. Not an assistant. If I am mid showing I will tell you and ring you back the same day.
I ask what you are actually trying to do. Not your price range first. The reason behind the move.
I tell you the truth about the number. If your budget does not buy what you are picturing in that neighbourhood, you hear it on the first call, not after four months of showings.
You decide. No contract to talk. Plenty of these calls end with me saying wait six months.
First place, next place, or moving to Portland from out of state. We start with what the money actually buys where you want to live.
BuyingWhat it is worth, what it needs first, and what you walk away with. Photos and staging that make the listing move.
SellingKids gone, stairs are a problem, or the yard has become a second job. The most common conversation I have, and rarely a rushed one.
DownsizingSmall investors, ADUs, short term rentals and duplexes. Including an honest read on what Oregon returns actually look like.
InvestorsMost of my work comes from people I have already helped, or from someone they sent. Here is what eleven years of that adds up to.
I do not care where I am. I am picking up the call. That is somebody's life on the other end.
Adrian Wild, Real Estate Broker, Knipe Realty ERA PoweredMost of this job is not marketing. It is telling someone something they would rather not hear, early enough that it still helps them. That the three bedroom they want in Milwaukie starts eighty thousand above their budget. That the kitchen needs doing before the photos, not after. That this is the wrong six months to sell and the right six months to wait.
I work in the part of the market where people are stretching, or downsizing, or buying for the first time and are quietly terrified. Those are the moves that actually change somebody's year, and they are the ones I am best at.
Five counties across two states, centred on Portland.
Yes. Adrian takes his own calls rather than routing them to an assistant or a call centre. His number is (503) 380-8492. If he is standing in someone else's kitchen he will say so and call you back, but you are talking to the broker, not to a team member reading a script.
The Portland metro: Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas and Yamhill counties in Oregon, plus Clark County in Washington. That covers Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Lake Oswego, Tigard, Milwaukie, Oregon City, Gladstone, Happy Valley, West Linn, Canby, the Mount Hood corridor and Vancouver.
His closed sales run from about $250,000 to $1.3 million, with an average sale price around $609,000. That is the middle of the Portland market, which is where most people actually live.
Eleven years in the Portland market, with 92 closed transactions.
Commission is negotiable and is set in writing before anything is listed or shown. Ask him on the first call and he will give you a straight number rather than a range.
Most first conversations are fifteen minutes and end with a plan, not a contract.
