About


John Gibbons, ABR, GRI

Realtor / Real Estate Broker

I have experienced a rewarding real estate career serving my clients over the years, whether you’re a first time buyer looking for a condo or a family looking to expand and grow into a new home.

First and foremost, I start with your needs and desires. I will take the time to listen about your real estate goals. With my years of real estate experience, I will be able to discuss with you all of the your options available, even ones you might not have thought of. Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you will make in your lifetime. I take great pride and passion in guiding you through this process and making it a pleasurable experience.

As part of my commitment, I continually attend educational training seminars to stay up to date about real estate in part to benefit you. Real estate designations I have been awarded include;

  • ABR – Accredited Buyer’s Representative
  • GRI – Graduate, Realtor Institute (less than 8% of all Realtors nationally possess this designation).

I specialize in the multiple areas of Portland. There are plenty of beautiful homes throughout the Metropolitan area, in every possible style. I promise to work diligently for you in finding the home that is right for you, and your lifestyle, that “perfect match”.

The joy of being a Realtor is being apart of making the “dream” of home ownership a reality for my clients. There are plenty of hurtles in life, but buying or selling a home should not be one of them.

If you have any questions about Real Estate in the Portland Metro Area, please feel free to give me a call at 503.467.9997.

Real Estate Experience

Experience is key when it comes time to hiring a Real Estate professional. Agents often don’t supply their sales numbers as they don’t want you to have this information. I feel this type of information is invaluable, as you want a Realtor who has what it takes to get the job done right.

With our tough housing market, you will need a Realtor like myself who understands the current market condition.
