How We Roll

Urban Nest CuLture

We believe that living a rich life is about more than just work. We’re a group of uniquely savvy individuals- our combination of experience, talent, and interests are the soul of our business.


What we are passionate about

Home & Equity

We provide ongoing financial support for Taking Ownership PDX, a small but mighty community collective that is renovating and reviving Black-owned homes, enabling homeowners to age in place and build generational wealth. Together we have raised over $28,000 and counting for this vital organization. We are committed to keeping the fight for racial justice at the forefront of our company values as well as our respective daily lives as Realtors.


Queer Rights

Love is love. We are proud that 18% of Urban Nest agents identify as LGBTQ+. In ongoing support of the queer community, we contribute to the Q Center, the largest LGBTQ+ community center in the Pacific Northwest, whose mission is"to provide safe spaces, community building, and empowerment for the positive transformation of LGBTQ2SIA+ communities and allies in the Pacific Northwest." We are committed to maintaining an open and welcoming culture within our brokerage.
