How to Find a Broker in PDX

[Alison Nikolov]

Hello All!

I'm a new member who is about to take my national OR real estate exam during the first week of December. I'm currently researching several brokerage agencies around OR. I live in PDX - Beaverton area right now. My husband and I are currently trying to find our first home (like a duplex or triplex) and rent out several units.

I don't necessarily want to be a FT agent, but I do want the education, resources and assistance that might come along with a bigger full service agency. I have a FT job currently in the medical field but am looking to branch out and invest FT (although saving up funds is in order first - I have some) Does anyone have any tips or ideas on an investor friendly Realtor in the area? I've read a lot already on BP - specifically that they are hard to find. I've also browsed the CIAS website which is a great tip I found elsewhere, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here! 

Thanks for any and all input!
