I’m a Portland native with a deep love for this city and the people who call it home. As a real estate agent, I lead with kindness, compassion, and a genuinely personal approach. I take the time to understand what matters most to each client and bring creativity, thoughtful guidance, and steady support to every step of the process.

Creativity has always been a big part of my life. I’ve been making jewelry for years, and I know firsthand how much the right space can inspire you. For buyers, I love helping you see the possibilities in a home and imagine making it truly your own. For sellers, I’m here to make the transition feel clear, supported, and manageable.

My love for Portland extends far beyond real estate. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me exploring the city’s renowned dining scene, hiking the Columbia River Gorge with my furry sidekick Stella, or wandering the Portland Flower Market!

She’s the best realtor I have ever worked with. She goes above and beyond her duty as a realtor. She’s very responsible, ,answering all my questions in a very timely fashion and advising me not just about buying the house but also ensuring that the house is everything I’m looking for. I appreciate her very much for her work ethic and her passion. She is simply the best. Thank you very much for your hard work!

Jené is simply the best! My wife and I are first time home buyers, and Jené helped us navigate an incredibly competitive market, and got us the home we were truly meant to be in. Her wealth of knowledge as a realtor, and rich personal experience made us feel like we had a true guardian angel at our side throughout the whole process. She was there with wisdom, and valuable insight through every step of the process, keeping us within our budget, but not letting us settle for anything less than what we deserved. If anyone is looking to buy a home in the Portland area, especially a first time buyer, Jené is the realtor you want on your side.

I very much enjoyed working with Jene and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! She is very knowledgeable and patient in answering any and all of our questions (this was our first home buying experience). She was also super responsive to calls, texts and emails, even stepping out of a Timbers game with her laptop to work on an offer with us. She worked all angles of the negotiating process in our favor and helped us win a competitive sale. During the home inspection period she arranged and hosted the general inspection as well as multiple specialists to make sure we were fully informed in the purchase. Finally, Jene is a lovely human being you will enjoy spending your nights and weekends with as you look for that perfect home.

Choose Jené DeSpain! Don't think twice about it, you won't regret it. Her insight, positive outlook, and high energy are boundless. I wouldn't use anyone else and we have a realtor, and friend, for life. I found my dream home before selling my old one and was in a hurry to sell - Jene came to the rescue. She went above and beyond anything expected. She gave such sage advice on where to put our time, energy and money in fixing up the house to sell. She took my little bungalow from drab to fab with her expertise in staging -the before and afters are stunning-it more than paid off! She quickly had the house and listing ready and marketed the listing strongly. It was on the market for less than 5 days before we went pending! In only ONE packed open house weekend we had multiple offers, all well above asking price. It was a home seller's dream come true. Jene made a stressful time so much easier, her knowledge and positivity eased me through the process. Can I give 10 stars? I highly recommend Jene DeSpain!

I wholeheartedly recommend Jene'! I started my job search last summer after what was an extremely stressful time in my life. Although I met many Realtors while going to open houses, Jene' stood out. Her knowledge, her enthusiasm and her genuine caring for me as a client was more than I could have asked for. After looking at a few houses Jene' helped me to write a strong and competitive offer for my dream home. Even though there was another pending offer Jene's tenacity and hard work helped me to secure my home, while always making sure she was looking out for my best interest. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Her enthusiasm, drive, knowledge and her true kindness make her stand out. It's been six months and every day I walk through my door I am so grateful that she was there to help me make my dream home my reality!

Jené was by our side, listening to us and advocating for us from day 1. She is incredibly communicative, and did a fantastic job of keeping us as first-time homebuyers in the loop and informed at every step. As a Portland native, Jené not only has an expansive knowledge of the area, but also an impressively deep network of local, caring folks who take their role in fostering a great community here in Portland quite seriously. She also helped us navigate a tricky inspection, and negotiated a fantastic deal that allowed us to close early and land our dream home! Jené is warm, thoughtful, and above all, cares about her clients -- and we're convinced you won't find a better agent.
