Brian Spear

Principal Broker in Oregon

With nearly two decades of experience in Portland real estate and over $64 million in closed sales in just the past three years, Principal Broker Brian Spear is a trusted name in both residential and investment property transactions. Known for his analytical approach and calm, consultative style, Brian is praised by clients for his local knowledge, honesty, and professionalism. Whether guiding first-time buyers, experienced investors, or out-of-state relocators, Brian makes the process smooth, informed, and successful from start to finish.

A specialist in investment properties, Brian works with clients to build long-term wealth through carefully analyzed acquisitions—from income-producing rentals and multifamily properties to short-term flips. As an owner and operator of both single-family and multiplex units, he offers real-world experience and insights. He is well-versed in Portland’s landlord-tenant laws and local ordinances, and even developed a proprietary investment analysis tool to project returns and support data-driven decisions. He has a constant eye on the country’s economic status and how it correlates to the local real estate market. This allows him to confidently explain the financial impacts of various options and recommend the most beneficial course of action for his clients.

Brian’s background includes extensive work with distressed properties, including bank-owned homes, HUD sales, short sales, and estates. He’s also well-versed in 1031 exchanges and complex transactions, making him a valuable asset for investors and sellers alike. Raised in Beaverton and a Portland east-side resident for over 30 years, Brian holds a degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Colorado. He’s a recipient of the Five Star Professional Award for eight years running and an active member of the Oregon Golf Association and the Metro Multifamily Housing Association.

My Happy Clients

"I worked with Brian Spear to find a house in Portland. He was always efficient, and I never felt like he was wasting my time looking at properties that were of no interest. I could not be more pleased with the experience that I had with Brian, and I highly recommend him if you are in the market to buy or sell."

Rodney

"Brian has been my agent for the purchase of real estate and a 1031 exchange, in which I was both a seller and a buyer. He is a true professional. Brian has a solid grasp of values and market conditions and the technicalities, laws and regulations applicable to real estate transactions. What really sets him apart from and above most real estate professionals is his attention to and grasp of details, which allows potential difficulties to be anticipated and avoided, rather than having them become problems which need to be solved. Highest recommendation."

John

"If you need an agent that knows the Portland area better than anyone, Brian Spear is your guy. He is very knowledgeable in all facets of real estate and is great for any first-time home buyer. He walked me through every step and made the process seem so easy."

Leigh

"Brian has done a fantastic job in marketing my homes. He provides quality analysis and insight to back up every answer that I have about the market. He has anticipated my needs and has been the key instrument in my company's growth. His attention to the needs of the other clients and agents involved in each transaction has made every sale a smooth experience. Thank you, Brian! "

Peter

"Brian assisted my husband and I with our relocation to West Linn from Long Beach, CA. From the first conversation we had with Brian we knew he was the Realtor that would help find us our home in Oregon. He was very professional, knowledgeable and patient and within our four-day visit helped us purchase our new home in West Linn. We enjoyed working with him very much and highly recommend him to anyone needing real estate assistance."

Sandy

"This was our second real estate purchase with Brian and if we buy another property in the Portland area, he will be our agent again. Great effort, straightforward advice, local knowledge and persistence are a few of his strong points."
