Portrait of AJ Lape

Meet your agent

A steadier way to make your move.

From target shooting to closing deals, my journey began with a passion for real estate investing and led me to embrace the Willamette Valley market. With 14 years in the field, I specialize in guiding veterans through the VA loan process and offer insights into everything from new construction to fix-and-flips. Curious about how my diverse experiences can work for you?

“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.”
