Urban Nest Realty: A Love Letter from the Inside

May 30

This isn’t your average “vote for us!” blog post—because Urban Nest is a whole different vibe. Yes, we’re honored to be nominated for Willamette Week’s Best of Portland 2025, and yes, we’d be thrilled to have your vote. But more than that, we want to share what it actually feels like to be a part of Urban Nest—whether you're an agent, a client, or a neighbor.

This is a love letter from the inside out.

Rooted in Portland. Grounded in Community:

Urban Nest was born in Portland, and this city continues to shape everything we do. We know its neighborhoods block by block, not just because it’s our job, but because it’s our home.

From craftsman homes in Concordia to backyard habitats in Mt. Tabor, we’ve helped people find their perfect home for over a decade. And along the way, we’ve built something even more meaningful: real relationships built on trust, care, and that deep, local know-how you only get from being part of the community.

Led with Intention. Backed by Heart:

We’re proudly women-owned and led, built on vision, empathy, and the belief that real estate can be done differently. Here, leadership is present, thoughtful, and responsive. We don’t believe in hierarchy for hierarchy’s sake; we believe in transparent conversations, meaningful feedback, and showing up for each other.

It’s this foundation that creates a supportive, grounded environment, one where agents feel empowered to bring their full selves to the work, and clients can trust they’re in capable, conscientious hands.

Experts Who Never Stop Learning:

Our agents are more than transaction managers, they’re trusted guides. We believe that every client deserves both strategy and clarity, which is why we put ongoing learning and professional development at the core of our culture.

From weekly meetings to continuing education and mentorship, we create space to sharpen skills and deepen knowledge, so we’re always ready to meet the moment and serve with confidence.

Real Estate, the Human Way:

Urban Nest is where big hearts, bold ideas, and real expertise come together. We show up for each other and for our clients with integrity, collaboration, and care, because that's what our clients deserve.

Whether we’re prepping a listing, helping a first-time buyer, or navigating a tough moment during a transaction, we lead with honesty and empathy. This isn’t about ego. It’s about people.

Why Your Vote Matters:

Being nominated for Best of Portland is more than a badge—it’s a celebration of the people, values, and culture we’ve built over the years. If Urban Nest has made your home search feel a little more human—or if our values resonate with you—we’d be truly grateful for your vote.
