Michael Benson

Michael Benson As a licensed Real estate broker with John L Scott in Portland, I diligently represent buyers and sellers in residential real estate transactions.

My name is Michael Benson and I am a realtor in both OR & WA with John L Scott Real Estate. This profession has been part of a family tradition as both my father and grandfather had careers in Real Estate which exposed me to the inner workings of this trade at a young age. I researched many companies before making the decision to join John L Scott. Working for a highly respected local company was

very important to me and was a significant factor in my decision making process. Founded in 1931, John L Scott has deep roots in the Pacific Northwest that we call home. Prior to joining the great team of professionals at JLS, I worked on the financial side of the real estate transactions as both a mortgage broker and mortgage banker. My work in mortgage banking has provided me with an extensive knowledge of real estate finance. As a mortgage broker, I worked with multiple wholesale lenders giving me insight on the policies and procedures of small niche lenders to large national banks. In my work as a Producing Sales Manager for U.S. Bank Home Mortgage in Portland and Vancouver for 9 years, I managed an elite team of top producing loan officers throughout the state of Oregon and SW Washington. I achieved the prestigious Presidents Club status for personal and team production for 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012. As your Realtor, I will assist in guiding you through the process of buying or selling your home with a fun and calculated approach. Lines of communication will remain constant with regular updates throughout so you can enjoy this exciting time in your life. My goal is to make you a client for life. Don't just take my word for it, see the client reviews below. If you are considering selling or buying in the Portland/Vancouver area (I can also provide referrals outside this area) contact me for a free consultation. I look forward to speaking with you!

Clients chose from a nice selection of heirloom, cherry, sauce and early varieties. The response was the best client gift yet and it was really special to partner with Coyote Ridge Ranch in La Center where you can pick up your organically grown tomato plants too!
