Kendall Bergstrom is a native of Portland, Oregon. She attended UCLA where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics. Since 1988, Ms. Bergstrom has worked with Re/max Equity Group in Lake Oswego specializing in NW Portland, Lake Oswego, West Linn and Stafford. Her reputation is built upon thoughtful customer service, expert real estate valuation and community knowledge, cultivated during her 21 years as a Principal Broker, and is the benchmark of her strategy now. Her ability to assess a property’s value and price it correctly attracts sellers who trust her experience and knowledge, as well as buyers looking for strong investment opportunities - currently in high demand.
After three years developing wine country properties, Kendall Bergstrom re-enters the residential real estate industry with a focus on Oregon luxury properties backed by the globally recognized agency of Sotheby’s International Realty. With a strong presence in Central Oregon and on the Oregon Coast, as well as a new team targeting the luxury lifestyle market throughout Portland and Lake Oswego, Cascade Sotheby's has enlisted Kendall Bergstrom to grow that business.
Years of experience has allowed her to develop a strong community of relationships and a network of experts who work together to ensure our buyers and sellers a well crafted and strategically executed plan to accomplish their real estate investment goals. “A significant and emerging demographic is the number of luxury homes sold in Portland purchased by buyers from outside of the area. Our sellers’ SCOUT program identifies where those families are coming from, then artfully connects the right buyer with the right homeowner.
“When considering re-joining the residential real estate market, I was drawn to the energy and enthusiasm that existed at Cascade Sotheby’s in Bend, Oregon “ states Ms. Bergstrom. “There I connected the dots between a strong brand, the innovative tools that it had at my disposal and the need for representation in the luxury market throughout Portland, Lake Oswego & West Linn, and Oregon Wine country, places I know well and that hold a very warm place in my heart.”
Kendall's outlook on Portland's 2012 Real Estate Market? Taken from a recent interview in her own words:
Once In Three Decades Sale!!!
Nordstrom holds Half-Yearly Sales for Women and Kids in May and November. Also, there are Half-Yearly Sales for Men in mid-June and late December. Their biggest sale of the year—the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale—is held each July. This event has become legendary among Nordstrom customers nationwide who enjoy outstanding savings on the most exciting new fall merchandise before the season starts.
Well, guess what? Our local real estate market is having a sale! "In my 23 years as a Principal Broker in our area, I have never seen lower interest rates and lower housing prices. Now is the time to purchase a home or investment property. In hindsight, this time in our marketplace will have become legendary. "
Regarding Investment homes; remember, we don’t live in the price, we live in the RATE , we buy the Payment. Call me if you are looking to increase your real estate portfolio, or if you need to invest in real estate to diversify your portfolio. It is a good time to buy real estate in our market."
If you invest now, incrementally, and over time, you will have a little surplus from your cash flow to invest back into your wardrobe, and Nordstrom will love that.
**Kendall earned her Principal Brokers license in 1991 and is currently a member of the Sotheby’s International Global Relocation Network, Portland Metropolitan Associations of Realtors, National Association of Realtors, Portland Business Alliance, Lake Oswego Chambers of Commerce, The Institute for Luxury Home Specialists, & the Buffini International Referral Network.
