Cori Jo (some call her CJ) has a gift for connecting, developing, and maintaining interpersonal relationships, which she uses to ensure her clients have a meaningful and smooth transaction. Although five years in the real estate industry gives her plenty of confidence in her skills, her motto has always been “two heads are better than one,” and is never afraid to ask questions to ascertain each piece of advice she gives is more than well-advised.

Cori Jo is a graduate of Lake Oswego High School and the University of Oregon. She has lived in Denver, CO, and Quito, Ecuador, but has chosen to move back to the very community where she grew up.

Cori Jo is often described as communicative, candid, honest, and humorous.

“I came to Opt because of the support to ensure the services we provide to our clients are efficient, professional and well-marketed.”

CJ enjoys spending time outdoors, backpacking, and traveling the world with her husband, David, and their dog, Autzen. One of their lifelong goals is to explore at least 120 countries together. Fun fact: During the couple’s time in Ecuador, Cori & David started a small business making full-grain, vegetable-tanned, leather goods which they sell through Amazon, called "Alta Andina".

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I’m a first-time homebuyer and my friends recommended her immediately after they bought their house. CJ made every step of the process digestible and fun, which made the entire experience really exciting! She was very thoughtful about the properties we toured, and it was a relief to be on the same page and I never felt overwhelmed or confused. I really valued was how communicative she was day and night, ...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to work with for buying my first home! Cori Jo listened intently to everything I wanted, steered me in the right direction when necessary and helped me identify my non-negotiables right off the bat. To get a feel for my taste and what was out there, she took me on a little tour of the market in Portland where we saw a spectrum of price points and styles which s...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I cannot overstate how much we loved working with Cori Jo. She helped us navigate a chaotic market on both the buying and selling side and was our fiercest advocate, best consoler and took on all the stress of the home buying and selling process so we experienced very little.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Working with Cori Jo was better than I ever could have hoped! She is honest, supportive, patient, and fought hard for my partner and me so we could get our dream house. She checked in with us without being pushy, sent us homes that we would like, and kept us at the center of the house hunt. Throughout the process, I completely trusted her opinion and knew we could approach her with any questions. My part...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Cori was absolutely amazing to work with. She was exactly what I wanted out of a realtor: knowledgeable, hard-working (she found us so many great options), patient (I never once felt any sort of pressure from her), and honest. When we would go look at places together my fiance and I would of course swoon over the cute little things, but Cori helped us to not just look at the great sides of house options ...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Cori Jo was incredibly helpful and I would be happy to work with her again! She helped us for several months while we looked for the perfect home and found the spot for us. I think she could help anyone find the home for them!

— Tanner McCullough

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

CJ is incredible and plan to refer her to all friends who are buying or selling. As a first-time homebuyer, there is so much I didn’t know. CJ had answers for all of my questions and even had answers for questions I hadn’t asked yet! That ranks her a step above the rest. She had an endless amount of patience and so much expertise to bring to bear during the offer/negotiation/closing processes. She was en...
