Lou Chain, Realtor

Lou Chain, Realtor Licensed Realtor in Portland Metro and Vancouver WA Outside of work, I enjoy yoga, movies, game nights, and small gatherings with close friends.

Buying or selling a home is a big deal, and you deserve a Realtor who listens, advocates, and delivers results. I anticipate challenges before they arise, navigate complex transactions with ease, and ensure my clients feel informed and confident every step of the way. Whether you're a first-time buyer, relocating, or selling a longtime home in Portland Oregon or Vancouver Washington, I provide a s

eamless, strategic experience—always putting your best interests first. After falling in love with the Pacific Northwest, I made Portland my home in 2002 and have been passionate about the city ever since. Before real estate, I worked in film, publishing, farming, and hospitality—industries that strengthened my adaptability, problem-solving, and commitment to exceptional service. You can often find me walking at Mt. Tabor or working on remodeling projects with my spouse. Our Shepherd mix, Copilot, is usually nearby, keeping us company.

Huge congratulations to Jenny jehefele on closing on her first home today! Jenny was kind and enthusiastic the whole time and she knew her house when she saw it. We were able to negotiate some fantastic repairs and she is moving into a great house with a gorgeous garden, lovely hidden oasis of a backyard, and the perfect amount of charming-as-heck house! Yay! Jenny’s work as a school nurse just wrapped for the summer so there is plenty of time to putter. Happy nesting!!

Key day for my fabulous client Lynn! My sister met Lynn at a conference last year and they hit it off. When Lynn said she was moving up from Roseburg, my sister put us in touch. It’s been so sweet to work with her to find a great spot in - a fabulous one level with a near-perfect layout. Now she can be closer to her daughter and siblings. Here’s to a fresh start! 🎉🎉🏡🎉🎉
I continue to feel so lucky that I get to work with such great clients. It makes a huge difference. 🤗
