Steve Roesch
Principal Broker, Owner
PDX Home Group, LLC

I have been practicing Real Estate on a full-time basis in the Portland Metro Area, including Southwest Washington since 1996. As the Portland market has grown, I too, have taken every opportunity to grow alongside it. Portland is such a great city with many great parts to explore. This is the main reason why I enjoy representing clients who either possess the same local pride, or are fortunate enough to be relocating here. I find great pleasure in educating first time buyers on the local areas, anatomy of a real estate transaction, and guiding them to the right home to accommodate their lifestyle and budget. I pride myself in providing an exemplary level of service whether I am working with a young couple just getting started, or an investor looking to capitalize on the current market conditions. 

My vision for PDX Home Group through the efforts of myself and my team is to give every client the competency they deserve through open communication, availability, and vast knowledge pertaining to the Real Estate industry. This is what we do. This is what we love. We have the experience of putting over 100 buyers and sellers together each year, and have worked through some of the best and most challenging real estate cycles in history - continually learning and building with each year. I am proud to say that many of my past clients return, with the confidence they are in some of the best hands in the business.

Christina Saribay
Real Estate Broker

I decided to get into the profession of real estate in 2010 at a very rough time in our market. With determination, head held high I push myself to succeed. In that first year I was awarded rookie of the year and met many new clients that have become very dear friends. By my second year I decided to join up my partner and very dear friend Steve Roesch and we created The PDX Home Group. Together we grew in leaps and bounds closing 65 homes and being awarded Triple Gold Status and Ranking #4 in our Keller Williams Region. My work style is very comfortable for my clients whether you are a buyer or a seller. Educating them and walking them though every aspect of the transaction before and well after it closes is important. The more questions you ask the better in my opinion.


The main reason I work for the PDX HomeGroup is one simple reason They are very much a family to me!!! Everyday is an incredible journey with them all and I couldn't image it any other way. We have a very talented group. Many wonderful qualities that blend together beautifully.

Born and raised in Oregon.Married my best-friend Marlon in 2006 we have two sweet children our daughter Chloe and Son Tyler and of course our fur baby Hermione( German Shepard/Lab.) We love to experience Oregon to its fullest, hiking, camping, markets, parks, the zoo and Oregon Coast. Lets not forget the tastes and sounds of this beautiful area as well. I am also very involved in my HOA sitting on the board since 2010 as the treasurer of 614 homes as well as director of all social activities.

Erin Primrose
Real Estate Broker, Marketing Director

My experience in operations, marketing and client relations in the commercial and residential real estate industry has empowered me to see a client's needs from all angles.  My strong suits include short response times, clear communication and empathy.  I take great pride in attention to detail and people tell me I have a witty, yet warm demeanor. I work closely with clients to highlight the strengths of their home in order to receive top-dollar, and thoroughly enjoy the process of playing "matchmaker" for buyers and their future home. My enthusiasm for real estate and the city of Portland is unmatched, and I will go to the end of the earth on behalf of my clients. 

I originally joined PDX Home Group as Marketing Director, and not long after, the team’s contagious enthusiasm gave me the kick I needed to finally become licensed in real estate after many years “behind the scenes”.  

My husband Kyle and I share a wonderful home filled with laughter and the pitter-patter (more like running) of our son, Asa and daughter Esme. Our spare time is filled with walks through our neighborhood, hiking, camping, long-boarding, exploring Portland's food and drink scene, Timber's matches and making home improvements to our 1920's bungalow.


Laurel Lee
Real Estate Broker, Affiliated Partner

My My passion and experience has always involved helping people and taking care of others. After college,I decided that my true passion was in real estate. I have been serving people with their real estate needs since 2009, and loving every minute of it. My specialty lies in working with buyers, everyone from first time home buyers, to investors flipping houses or building a rental portfolio. The extra qualities that enable me to be a great Realtor, are my attention to detail, patience, compassion, communication style and being an effective listener. With my vast network of trusted individual's,   I am able to connect you with service professionals anywhere from Architects to Zoning Specialists.

Being a partner with the PDX Home Group , has given me the opportunity to work with an amazing group of passionate, fun, talented professionals. Having a team, our clients are given the best customer service possible. There is always someone available to answer questions and assist in the process from, the first consultation all the way through closing and beyond. Our goal is to earn your loyalty, and be your Real Estate resource for life. We are available to you whenever you need us, even after closing.

My family is the most important thing in my life. I am a dog lover with three furry bundles of joy at home.  I also enjoy outdoor adventure, reading books, and the  occasional sewing projects and piano playing. And last but not least, I love power tools and working on remodeling projects of my own. My favorite things about Portland, are the old style homes and unique neighborhoods found here as well as the diversity and friendliness of the people who live here.

Lauren Iaquinta
Real Estate Broker

Since my very first job in high school, I have been working with people in customer service based jobs. My goal has always been to guide and help people in getting what they want. I thoroughly enjoy working with different personalities and getting to know my clients. My favorite part about being a broker is that no day is the same and I constantly have to be on my toes.

One of the things that led me to PDX Home Group is our idea of success is bridging the gap between our clients and the real estate world. I believe our job as brokers is to make the process of buying and selling your home as seamless as possible. 

In my spare time I enjoy sewing, refurbishing old furniture, running, shopping and I have been attempting to learn to cook. 

Andrea Roesch
Office Manager & Listing Coordinator

Andrea serves as an integral member of the PDX Home Group support staff with the keen ability to provide exemplary reinforcement to Principal Broker/Husband Steve Roesch both in and out of the office.  As a former general manager of a Fortune 500 company, she possesses the necessary skills to oversee the daily operations of the team, in addition to efficiently coordinating listings from market to close. 

Andrea's calm demeanor and ability to organize are unmatched, and serve as great benefits to the team as well as our clients. Andrea brings to the table the same quality and drive that has made great contribution throughout her professional career.



Becki Woody
Transaction Coordinator

With well over a decade of transaction coordination experience, Becki has acquired the ability to intuitively tap into the needs of the team as well as our clients.  Her experience in short sale and REO properties has been a tremendous asset in today's market.

Same ol' story, but it's a good one: Portland residential real estate highlights

Inventory in months is calculated by dividing the
activelisting at the end of the month in question
by the number of closed sales for that month.
Provided by RMLS Market Action 
March Highlights:
Portland’s real estate activity continues to blossom. Both accepted offers and closed sales earned “Best March since 2007” honors. The 2,628 pending sales were 15.7% over the 2,272 entered in March 2012 and 23.4% higher than February’s 2,130 offers. Closed sales reached 1,935, which topped March 2012 sales of 1,694 by 14.2% and February 2013 sales of 1,376 by 40.6%. 

There were 3,002 new listings entered in March, which was 4.0% more than March last year and 22.4% more than February’s 2,453 listings. 

The increase in new listings was not enough to reverse the trend in active inventory, which crept down slightly to 6,207 listings. It would take only 3.2 months to exhaust the active inventory at the March rate of sales. This is lower than in any month since June 2006, when unsold inventory reached 2.6 months. 

Activity in First Quarter 2013 
The Portland Metro area real estate market is off to a good start in 2013. There were 6,466 accepted offers and 4,789 closed sales in first quarter 2013, both measures up 11.3% from 5,809 pending sales and 4,303 closed sales in the same period last year. The 7,963 new listings this year lag 1.3% from the 8,070 entered in first quarter 2012. 

Average and Median Sale Prices 
The average price in the first quarter this year was $290,300, up 15.3% from first quarter 2012, when the average was $251,700. In the same comparison, the median increased 16.6% from $212,000 last year to $247,100 in the first quarter of 2013.
