The Home Team began years ago with the idea that a team of Realtors could provide our clients with a higher level of experience and service than we could as individual agents. Our way of working together encourages collaboration, pools resources and knowledge, and most importantly, ensures constant availability to our clients even during our vacation and family time. We named our company “HOME TEAM REALTY” because we are so proud of and dedicated to our team model.

Our team works together in an open office environment and utilizes centralized communication methods so that each team member is always up to date on our clients’ goals and transactions. Our unique system and organized use of the best real estate technologies allows us to share relevant information with each other in a timely and seamless fashion.

CARRIE & KENNY own Home Team Realty. They bring 30+ years of real estate knowledge and experience to the team. They provide client care, negotiation, and transactional oversight. Possessing fierce negotiation skills and a knack for finding the right “deals”, they are there every step of the way.

Kenny is an Owner/Partner/ Managing Principal Broker at Home Team Realty. As a dual- licensed Principal Broker in both Oregon and Washington, Kenny brings experience and resources to represent clients on both sides of the river. In 2005, as a young married college student, he purchased his first house which inspired him to obtain a real estate license soon after.

Kenny quickly gained a dedicated client base through honest professionalism and great real estate instincts. Now as an Owner/Partner at Home Team Realty, Kenny specializes in pricing strategy, investment properties, and remodel projects.

Kenny has a Bachelor’s degree in psychology as well as certificates from Advanced Buyer Representative, EarthAdvantage, and iRep. His psychology degree coupled with his natural mediator personality allow him to expertly negotiate the best deal possible on behalf of each client.

Kenny’s experience as an owner of multiple rehabbing companies over the last 15 years provides expertise to help clients navigate real estate construction and investment opportunities. He even helped manage the installation of an in-ground pool in his own backyard in 2017! He genuinely enjoys the challenge of finding great investment prospects and coaching clients through the rehab process.

When not searching for the perfect house, Kenny's off on adventures around the world with his wife and two boys. Many of the trips include surfing, snowboarding, and film festivals. While Kenny enjoys adventuring, there’s nothing like returning to his SE Portland home's backyard which proudly earned a photo in Portland Monthly, featuring his pool, wood-fired hot tub, and outdoor fireplace.
