Ryan Cavanagh

Real Estate Agent in Oregon

Watching family members find success with rental portfolios while he was growing up led to Ryan’s fascination with real estate.

Born and raised in Oregon City, he earned his degree in marketing from Oregon State University. Prior to his career in real estate, he was a territory sales representative and primarily called on multifamily property management companies.

“Building and nurturing relationships was the lifeblood of my business, and this same mentality has brought me much success in real estate.”

He spent years as a co-owner of a local real estate investment company that specialized in acquiring off-market properties in Oregon and SW Washington. Through this role, he became proficient in providing accurate reports of home valuations from the perspective of someone who bought and sold investment properties.

“During my time flipping houses, I frequently found myself connecting with sellers just to hand them off to a Real estate agent because that was actually in their best interest. This inspired me to get my license.”

Compassionate, thoughtful and personable, Ryan has found being an active listener and reliable communicator goes a long way in establishing relationships with those he serves. Being married to an interior designer also comes in handy; he has learned some valuable things from her that benefit his clients.

Fun fact: Ryan is a huge Blazer fan. “I was actually lucky enough to be at Game 5 when Damian Lillard made his famous, series-clinching shot to beat OKC in the playoffs!”

Ryan currently resides in Beaverton with his wife, Meghan, their dog Oliver, and their cat Lucy. When he’s not working, he enjoys recreational sports like golfing, skiing, and basketball. He and Meghan will often get together with friends and family to watch sports or play games, attend concerts, and check out new local restaurants.

My Happy Clients

"My wife and I made it a goal to sell our house and hopefully buy a house in the spring of 2025. We had found a house we liked and just needed the necessary help of a realtor. When we met Ryan and told him of our goals and dreams we were met with someone who was honest, compassionate, and completely on board. He was never short on ideas or support. He connected us to a great person to help us with the finances. Most importantly to me, he was a good man to my wife and kids. He understood the vision and helped make it a reality. Needless to say, our house was sold swiftly, we were able to buy the house we had our eye on, and we are currently happy in that new home. The experience of selling and buying a house was difficult due to the nature of everything we were trying to accomplish. We are thankful to Ryan for doing his best to always find ways to smooth things out and ease our stress. My wife and I cannot imagine completing this task without him."

"I cannot say enough good things about Ryan. This was my was my first home sale in over 25 years. Ryan took the time to explain today's market and changes to the business since my last sale. He was extremely responsive and in fact, made me feel like I was his only customer. I had several projects needing to be done before going to market. Ryan was there every step of the way helping me work with contractors and even being on site if needed to review their work. This was an out of town sale and the home was unoccupied. Having Ryan available was invaluable and really helped the process stay on track. A heartfelt thank you to Ryan and the Opt Team!"

Kristopher Kanyo

"When we first thought of buying a home, the task itself seemed daunting. Not only that, we didn’t even know if it would be possible. After meeting Ryan, he put all of our worries aside. He showed us various properties that were within our price range and what we were specifically looking for in a home. He was patient with us, he was easy to communicate with, always available and reliable. After we finally decided to put an offer on a home, he was on top of it right away. It could not have happened the way it did if weren’t for his quick actions. We are very grateful he helped us buy our dream home."
