Ed Buchman

Principal Broker

Talk about an agent with worlds of experience. Ed’s decades-long career in real estate began back in 1990, so he has definitely earned the rank of local expert. He credits his longevity in this industry to being customer service driven and going the extra mile for his clients.

Born in Illinois and raised in Neenah, Wisconsin, Ed attended the University of Wisconsin, Madison. After college, he moved to the Pacific Northwest and fell in love, raising his family in the Portland metro area. A generation later, this is now where his daughters are raising their families as well.

After selling long distance services for a local company, long before cell phones, Ed’s entire career has been steeped in real estate and marked by success with hundreds of transactions under his belt. Clients appreciate his professionalism, his caring nature, and the breadth of neighborhood knowledge he possesses.

Ed and his wife, Megan, reside in Lake Oswego. They have a dog, Henry, plus three sheep and a horse. He recently became a grandfather, and is contentedly soaking in that new role. He also loves to golf, hike, swim, and work in the backyard.

My Happy Clients

"Thank you doesn't begin to describe the gratitude I have for Ed and Allie at Opt! I approached them earlier this year about helping me with a dream that I'd had since childhood: to own a farm where I could live in peace and quiet with my animals. I didn't have very much to spend so I assumed it probably wouldn't be possible. I wanted to live in a specific area where the prices were usually well above what I could afford. Ed and Allie got to work and were able to find me a farm that was within my budget and in the area I needed to be in. I had no idea what I was doing and they helped me to sell my home and helped me find my farm. Everyone at Opt was welcoming and transparent and made this process as simple as it could possibly be. I never felt like they were putting their own needs before my own. I don't think there are words to describe how grateful I am for all their help. The people at Opt are rockstars. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I also, as a general rule, do not write reviews because I don't like to participate in social media. But, in this instance, I feel like these folks are worth it."

"Ed Buchman is as good a real estate agent as you could find anywhere. We've bought and sold several houses over the years and working with Ed made this latest purchase so much easier than usual. He's hard-working, attentive, and just a pleasant person."

Howard & Lili Sandler

"Ed has been great! Very patient and knowledgable. Both he and the Opt team were great and helped us sell a property and purchase a home. They are long time realtors in the Portland area."
