The work: deals others walk away from
Most brokerages are optimized for speed and volume; anything complex becomes "not worth it." Grand Union was built for the opposite: split deeds, five‑funder closings, lease‑backs, land trusts, and layered down‑payment assistance that can reach six figures when stacked well. This is the work most agents avoid, but it's often the work that gets first‑generation and historically excluded buyers through locked doors.
Why this matters now in Portland
Portland's housing crisis isn't just about prices; it's about access to the programs, grants, and structures that already exist but rarely get combined well. Community land trusts, forgivable down‑payment assistance, and builder rate buydowns can change the math for ordinary buyers: if someone knows how to braid them together. The average first‑time buyer doesn't need more listings; they need a guide who can make the numbers work when the system says they shouldn't.
Our model: integrity, performance, and place
Old‑school real estate rewards volume, speed, and commission checks; Grand Union is built around impact, legacy, and deal integrity. Every commission dollar stays local: no corporate siphons, no offshore profits, and every closing sends unrestricted support to Proud Ground and Outdoor School. Success is measured in families who stay rooted, neighborhoods that keep their character, and trust that compounds over years, not just in one record‑breaking sale.
