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 20 agents that proudly serve the Portland and SW Washington metro. Together, they’ve closed more than 1,500 transactions, with 325 transactions totaling $175 million completed in 2021 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.
