When a person or a family buys a house, they're not just engaging in a transaction. They're making a decision that will change the course of their lives, their children's lives, probably even their grandchildren's lives. They're choosing a neighborhood, choosing schools, choosing a place to put down roots and build their future. For most people, buying a house is the single biggest financial transaction they will ever make. It is a time rich with emotion, hope and promise. Knipe Realty was born of a commitment to remember how life-changing the process of buying a house is. The real estate industry has a reputation for focusing solely on increasing revenue and transactions. Jeff Knipe started Knipe Realty during the height of the real estate crisis in 2007, against all odds, because he knew a better way was possible. Today, Knipe Realty is committed to helping future homeowners with the heart of a servant. Our real estate agents are selected carefully for their ability to serve our clients with professionalism and care. Knipe Realty is a local company with a big heart, rooted in Oregon and Southwest Washington. Our offices in Portland, Vancouver and Salem support local charities that make life better for everyone in our communities. We know how important the journey of finding a place to live isit's not just a house, it's your home. We hope you'll allow us to share that journey with you.
