Robin Malcomson

Real Estate Agent in Oregon and Washington

As a third-generation Portlander, Robin Malcomson knows this city inside and out, which proves valuable as a relocation specialist. She brings more than 13 years of experience representing clients from a wide range of price points and is an expert in all things Portland — especially the realms east of the Willamette. She has favorite shops, restaurants, and destinations in all corners of this city. It doesn’t matter if you’re looking to sign up for a spin class, escape to a park, or fill your grocery bag with local flair, Robin will have three recommendations for each.

“When buying or selling a house, you depend on me to know the market, the neighborhoods, and the extensive paperwork,” Robin says. “You will likely rely on the relationships I have with contractors, inspectors, and other agents. My job is to guide you through the process and give you as much information as you need to make an informed decision. I will also walk you through all of the paperwork and make sure you know what you are signing and why it is important.”

Robin has spent her life in sales, including several years at Nordstrom, and her ability to anticipate the needs and exceed the expectations of her clients is impressive. She is well aware that communication is a key ingredient in a real estate transaction. “Clients have always appreciated the fact that I am in ongoing communication with them throughout the process. If you email, text, or call me, I will answer!”

In addition to being readily available, Robin is a firm believer in honesty. “Knowing you can rely on me to give you a straight answer takes the guesswork out of our conversations. If you’d like to work with a straight-shooting real estate professional who is detail-oriented and — also important — fun, we will work well together!”

Robin enjoys entertaining, working out, reading, hiking, and spending time with her husband and grown kids!

My Happy Clients

"Robin was the first realtor I met with to begin my new home search in the Pacific NW. As a native New Yorker, I appreciated her easy to relate to cosmopolitan style. The online system she uses combined with the personal touch of her detail-oriented and well-organized team made the process feel that I was in good hands throughout the purchase process to closing. Since I bought first home many years ago, a lot has changed in the buying a home market. I am happy that I had Robin on my side. I duly trusted her with her recommendation for the broker I am using to sell my apartment in NY. I highly recommend Robin!"

"As first-time home buyers, the process felt intimidating to just think about, until we connected with Robin at Opt Real Estate. We chose her based on a family recommendation from 2021, and we were not disappointed. Robin is knowledgeable, incredibly thorough, and offers a valuable 'different perspective' that highlights her extensive experience. She made the process incredibly easy; we went from casually thinking about buying a house to closing on our perfect home within a single month! Our friends were so shocked at how smooth everything sounded, that they’re keeping her number in hand whenever they’re ready for homes. We highly recommend Robin. Thank you, Robin!"

Jorge Gutierrez

"Robin was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was incredibly responsive and kept me informed every step of the way, which made the entire home-buying process so much smoother. Her knowledge and professionalism gave me a lot of confidence as a buyer. I always felt like she had my best interests in mind and was genuinely invested in helping me find the right home. I’d highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for a realtor who’s communicative, reliable, and easy to work with."

"We lucked in to working with Robin, emphasis on (good!) luck! ? Her experience and knowledge of the market and process helped give us confidence in our out-of-state search. She was always just a text or email away, ready with candid advice and patient explanations for all of our tedious questions. Her network is excellent, too; for every non-agent service we requested, she had a name and number ready. I am so grateful we found her, she made our home hunt and buying experience so much more relaxed than it could have been, knowing she would never let us drop the ball. Hire her, already!"

Ashley L.

"We are so grateful that we found Robin on Zillow - we were first time home buyers and didn't know very much about the process. Robin was there with every step giving advice and guiding us along the way. She is very knowledgeable about all things and was great at pointing out various things in each house that we wouldn't have noticed. She was patient with all of our many questions and toured many houses with us. She was a great negotiator and I felt like we got a great deal for our house! We 10/10 recommend her!"
