Colby J. Whitton

Real Estate Agent in Oregon and Washington

Hey there! I’m Colby, a licensed real estate professional in Oregon and Washington, and I’ve been helping clients navigate both buying and selling their homes since 2019. I’m passionate about what I do and deeply committed to keeping my clients’ best interests at heart. I believe every transaction should be transparent, ethical, and guided by clear communication. To date, I’ve had the privilege of closing over $50 million in sales, including my best year yet in 2025 with $14M+, 21 successful transactions, and countless great client relationships built.

I pride myself on strong communication and rapport-building with both clients and fellow agents. I stay proactive, responsive, and persistent, and I won’t hesitate to pick up the phone to make sure my clients never miss an opportunity. I believe in the power of education when it comes to making a big decision like buying or selling a home, as well as providing a tailored experience. It’s important for me to communicate with my clients throughout the entire process, all while keeping their individual needs in mind.

Before real estate, I spent over a decade in hospitality, which shaped how I approach this business: professionally, warmly, and with a focus on creating lasting relationships. I listen closely, stay positive, and bring solutions to the table when challenges arise. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, exploring investment opportunities, or selling a home in Oregon or Washington, you can expect a professional yet approachable experience.

When not working, I love connecting with people and challenging myself with new experiences. After college, I spent three months backpacking through 14 countries in Europe, and that sense of curiosity and adaptability still drives me today. I love live music, great food, and discovering new places, with Iceland next on my list. At home, you’ll usually find me supporting local food, music, and radio, or hanging out with my dog, Rooney.

Don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d love to schedule a conversation, answer your questions, or meet for a cup of coffee to discuss your real estate goals. Together, we can navigate the world of real estate, ensuring you make well-informed decisions that align with your individual tastes and aspirations. I hope to hear from you soon!

From the start, he impressed me with how much research he did on neighborhoods, and his knowledge of the real estate market is top-notch. What really stood out was how proactive he was—he made calls and handled details on my behalf just to make things easier during what can be a stressful process. Colby is a wise advisor, a fantastic listener, and makes you feel like you’re his only client, even though I know he juggles a full roster.

If you’re lucky enough to work with him, you’ll quickly see—Colby is a GEM."
