About

Get to know AJ

Growing up with a dream of becoming a real estate investor, I immersed myself in understanding the intricate world of large financial metrics and real estate investment. With roots firmly planted in the Willamette Valley, I decided to transform my passion into a profession, and for the past 14 years, I've had the privilege of guiding clients through one of the most significant decisions of their lives. My journey from Navy veteran to seasoned broker is marked by a wealth of knowledge that extends beyond the typical real estate scope, thanks to my background in construction and commercial plumbing.

My experience is not just technical; it's deeply personal, especially when working with fellow veterans. Navigating the complexities of VA loans is second nature to me, and I've successfully contested more than one bad appraisal, securing fair outcomes for my clients. Each transaction is an opportunity to use my expertise in property evaluation and the nuances of the VA loan process, ensuring that my clients feel informed and confident at each step.

When I'm not educating sellers on maximizing their home’s market potential or assisting veterans in achieving their homeownership dreams, you'll find me at CrossFit, or perhaps flying high with my pilot's license—my escape into the skies above Oregon. At home, I'm a proud father of three, cherishing each moment of family life. My mission is straightforward: to provide a seamless, informed, and reassuring real estate experience to everyone I work with.

What clients are saying

AJ was referred to my husband and I through Veterans United. We could could not have been happier. He was direct ,knowledgeable and pretty well a straight shooter. If we go on this venture again we’d definitely choose AJ.

Aj has been so wonderful this whole experience. He is very patient and never pushed us into anything that we weren't comfortable with. He always walked bus through everything step by step. When we were having trouble with our loan he didn't run away he stayed and made sure we we're ok and help us find another loaner! He is the best realtor I would ever asked for

AJ did a great job of helping me sell my home. He was very knowledgeable about the mechanics of the listing/marketing/selling processes as well as the approach to current market conditions. I would have given him 5 stars for responsiveness and negotiation skills, except that the house sold so quickly, he really didn't have much chance to show off those areas of expertise!

AJ was great to work with. He showed us several different areas and worked with our schedules, even on holidays, to look at houses. He was always available to help with my questions via email, text, and phone and I am glad we chose him. From house hunting to the offer process to handing over the keys I trusted AJ to help us every step of the way.

I recently purchased my first house, and I could honestly say that I can’t recommend AJ any more highly. I was generally clueless about the home buying process, and he went above and beyond to make sure that I not only understood the process, but that I was comfortable with it as well. If I had any questions at all, he was always available, regardless of the time of day (or oftentimes, night). His in- depth understanding of veteran- specific home loans ensured that I got the best interest rate possible, hands down. If you’re a Veteran, I highly recommend you give him a call. You won’t regret it.
