Evan Robinson

Sales Representative

Evan was introduced to the title industry while working with a top producing Portland broker as a marketing consultant. This valuable experience allowed him to see behind the scenes of a fast paced, seven-person team real estate team. The role was dynamic and included writing copy, creating media and marketing strategy, and even pressure washing a new listing client’s home when the team was in a pinch. Evan is committed to doing whatever it takes to help a client create tangible results tailored to the specific needs of their business. His career has been focused in customer service and he loves solve problems. “My parents called me ‘fidget’ growing up because I was always taking things apart and putting them back together. Sometimes, they even still worked!” Evan grew up in Lake Tahoe and has always loved the outdoors. He takes yearly backpacking trips with his father and fell in love with the Northwest as kid during a five-day trip through Broken Top in the Cascades. He’s a UO grad and avid soccer fan, though he has awkwardly given his allegiance to the Seattle Sounders after residing there for five years.
