Founder

Drew Coleman knows that every client deserves a trusted ally and partner they can count on. He launched his real estate career in 2001, and today, he remains committed to creating world-class experiences for people from all walks of life. One of Oregon’s most decorated agents, he’s the founder of Opt Real Estate, an elite firm composed of nearly 60 agents that proudly serve the Portland and SW Washington metro. Together, they’ve closed more than 3,000 transactions and are on pace to close over 500 transactions totaling over $300 million in 2024 alone.

Whether he’s working with luxury sellers or guiding folks through their first buy, Drew makes this top-five stressor feel easy. His market expertise, high-tech systems, neighborhood knowledge, and wide network foster a smooth process, even in complex situations. And, with an engaging personality and a warm, jocular demeanor, Drew is more than just another agent — he’s a friend and confidant.

Besides being a peerless professional, Drew is a local and national real estate leader. In 2019, he served as president of the Portland Metropolitan Association of REALTORS®, and, in 2020, he graduated as a member of the National Association of REALTORS® Leadership Academy. As the 2021 president of Oregon REALTORS®, Drew oversaw the organization’s 100+ members of the board of directors, 15-member executive committee, and representatives from 25 boards and associations across Oregon. If that weren’t enough, he was named the 2022 REALTOR® of the Year by Oregon REALTORS®.

When Drew isn’t connecting with clients or fighting to improve the industry, he engages with his community. He’s passionate about nonprofits that support foster care and Portland’s unhoused; by leveraging the unique media abilities of his team, he helps tell their stories in compelling ways. You’ll also catch Drew rapping to his favorite 90s hip-hop, playing basketball, or touring the open roads in his RV with his wife and three kids.

Chad and Courtney Williamson

"Am seeing this as the best of all time indeed I love the process."

Michael Shedrack

"From day 1, Drew had a clearly defined and organized plan to quickly sell our house. He continuously updated us on actions taken and showings, and feedback. Even in a tough market and bad time of year, Drew sold our house near the top of the market. I wish I could give more stars. Of all the agents I've used, he is at the top of the list. Thank you again, Drew."

Shane and Rebecca O'Donnell

"I have considerable experience with the real estate industry and its agents. For more than 27 years I have owned more than two dozen rental properties and used the services of agents that run the gamut from abysmal to excellent. Recently I purchased a home and sold my old residence with Drew Coleman’s guidance. His firm, Opt Real Estate offers the best and most comprehensive representation I have come across. With the support of his back office team headed by Allie Greiner, Drew ensured constant communication, competent advice and a smooth transaction for both properties. Drew is recognized by his competitive peers as being an industry star. He has been or currently is in the elected leadership of local, state and national real estate associations. When you add up his agency’s systems, his integrity and good humor along with peer recognition you get the whole package at the same cost as for a mediocre agent. Don’t hesitate to employ his services."
