Quyona Anderson, Broker

As a Portland native and University of Oregon graduate, I’ve served the housing needs of individuals and families in the Portland community for the past several years. Serving the community has given me an understanding of all aspects of the real estate market...homes in several price points, schools, neighborhoods, appreciation rates and much more.

Whether you’re a first time home buyer or an experienced buyer, I’ll work with you to develop an effective plan, taking into consideration your individual concerns, goals, and circumstances. I understand that purchasing a home is more than just a financial decision; for most people it is also an emotional one. I will keep you informed at all times to make the process as easy as it can be. My experience will ensure you receive the attention you deserve.

My goal and commitment to you is to make the buying process as simple and effective as possible. It's my guarantee to turn your dreams into a reality! Call me today with all of your real estate needs!
