Derek Gassaway is a licensed real estate agent serving Portland, Oregon, Vancouver, Washington, and the greater Portland Metro area through Real Broker. In his first year in real estate, Derek has closed 7 transactions representing over $3.6 million in total sales volume and an average sale price of $514,500, a strong debut that reflects both his work ethic and his ability to build trust quickly with clients across diverse situations.
Derek brings a distinctly analytical and client-focused approach to real estate, shaped by a Bachelor's degree in Finance, a career as a Regional Sales Manager in the tech industry, and experience in parking management operations. That professional foundation gives his clients a meaningful advantage, whether they're navigating offer strategy, understanding market data, or negotiating terms. Derek serves first-time buyers, move-up buyers, sellers, and investors throughout the Portland and Vancouver markets, and is committed to working with any client, at any price point, who is ready to make a move.
As the second agent on the Nelson Real Estate Group, Derek is helping build a team defined by confident, trustworthy advising, not high-pressure tactics. His personal motivation runs deep: Derek was once a first-time buyer who didn't think homeownership was possible, until a trusted real estate agent showed him it was. That experience shapes every client relationship he takes on today.
