Keeping an Abundance Mindset
January 2017
In his dual role as marketing guru for his company and head of a 12-person sales team, Steve Nassar rolls out business tactics to the brokerage after some personal beta testing.
After high school, I worked in construction for a couple of years and then got a job selling Harley-Davidson motorcycles. I was like a duck in water—I loved sales! I met many successful real estate people buying expensive toys and realized there was something interesting about their industry. In 2003, during the last housing boom, I became a mortgage broker and focused on working with real estate agents. When I saw how much time they spent answering the same questions about home buying and financing from their clients, I wrote an instructional homebuying book they could hand out up front. It was a marketing tool they could use to brand themselves, make a positive impression, and save some time.

Steve grew up right here in the Willamette Valley area in Monmouth and started his career right out of high school in the construction industry. "My first jobs were more focused on working with my hands. That start in manual labor, while challenging physically, taught me many valuable things, such as a strong work ethic and how to work as a team. In 2002 I was laid off from a construction job due to the recession after the 9/11 attacks. I was determined to stay positive and look for any opportunity I could find. I also took advantage of some of the free time I had, and threw myself into working out and playing basketball at a local gym. It was there that I met a new friend who I later found out was the general manager at a Harley Davidson dealership. He offered me a sales job, which I gladly accepted, and I immediately started reading and learning everything I could. I soon discovered that I had taken very naturally to sales. During my time at...

Fleeing Portland? We Have Bad News About Home Prices in Surrounding Bedroom Towns.
Here’s what you can get in the suburbs.
April 2022
“There is a healthy supply of people reaching out to us saying, ‘Get me out of here!’” says real estate agent Steve Nassar, who specializes in Lake Oswego. “They want to stay in the area, but they’ve got to get out of Portland.”
The numbers are not showing a mass exodus from the City of Roses, however. While U.S. census figures show that Multnomah County contracted by 1.5% last year, Portland State University’s Population Research Center estimates the county actually grew by 0.53% (4,362 people) from 2020 to 2021. But bordering counties, Clackamas and Washington, grew by more (0.74% and 0.69%, respectively).
