Dale Carstensen

Real Estate has been Dale’s first and only career and he has in the field for 15 years. There’s a quote attributed to Mark Twain that he absolutely loves - “Buy land, they’re not making any more of it” - in a world filled with intangibles… NFTs, stocks, bitcoin, etc., land is an asset, an investment, that you can literally grab and hold in your hands. He believes that being a homeowner is the first and biggest step every American must take in order to build wealth. The stability and enjoyment you and your family get is immeasurable. It is truly humbling to be there to help his clients take such a big step in their lives. A lot of his identity and feelings of significance comes from knowing that he is looked to share the advice and knowledge he has gained over his lifetime in this business.

His ideal adventure for an urban Portland day: Portlanders know how breakfast is done. Starting a day of adventure with a bite from one of our amazing local eateries is the only way to go. He is an avid hiker and is a hike leader for the Mazama’s. He is taking Portlanders on some of his favorite hikes several times a week. Did you know there are hundreds of gorgeous hiking trails that begin in the city and spider through the dozens of local forests and parks that are right inside city limits? And most of them wind through some of Portland’s oldest and most historic neighborhoods. His perfect day is to have a relaxing breakfast followed by an urban hike into one of our amazing parks.
