Brooke Lahman

Escrow Officer

You and your clients are always the most important people in the room! I love helping your client realize their real estate goals, understanding and giving full attention to their specific needs and experience level. Communication, responsiveness and availability for you and your clients is always something you can expect when I close your transactions. I am the last person to leave your client with a positive impression of you and the overall transaction, hopefully creating an opportunity for future business and referrals from that client. Having worked almost my entire career in the Uptown area of Portland, I am well versed in the nuances of closing luxury west hills homes, but also close properties of all price ranges throughout the Portland tri-county area, including the unique intricies of co-ops and floating homes. Spending time with my daughter, Vivienne and fiancé, Adam, attending live music events, camping, laughing and making memories with good friends is how I spend my personal time.
