Relocating here? Let's find your place in it.

Q: Do I need to already be in Portland to start the process?

No. Many clients start the process remotely — video tours, e-signing, and local recommendations before they ever land, and plenty of clients begin the conversation from out of state months before their actual move.

I help people moving to Portland Metro and Southwest Washington go from "where do I even start" to keys in hand. Remote friendly, if that's where you're starting from.

Who you'll be working with

Hi, I'm Phong Tran

I moved to Oregon from Texas myself, so I know what it actually feels like to pack up your life and land somewhere brand new. Different weather, different pace, a whole city to figure out from scratch.

I'm a Principal Broker with Tran Property Group at Real Broker, working across Portland Metro and Southwest Washington. I help people relocate here the way I wish someone had helped me: straight answers, no pressure, and someone who actually knows the area.

You're not just buying a house. You're rebuilding a life somewhere unfamiliar. I take that seriously.

Common questions

What relocating buyers usually ask

Do I need to already be in Portland to start the process?

No. Many clients start remotely — video tours, e-signing, and local recommendations before they ever land, and plenty begin the conversation months before their actual move.

How do you help me choose the right neighborhood?

By narrowing based on commute, schools, walkability, and overall vibe before you ever tour a house, so you're not wasting time looking in areas that don't actually fit your lifestyle.

Will I work directly with Phong or get handed off to a team?

You work directly with Phong from your first call through closing. Once you're under contract, a dedicated transaction coordinator keeps every deadline and document on track, backed by Real Broker's brokerage support.

What does it actually cost to live in Portland Metro?

It depends heavily on neighborhood, home age, and whether you buy or rent. For a full breakdown with real 2026 numbers, see the cost of living guide.
