Loren Castillo - Portland Real Estate
Loren Castillo

Loren Castillo
Broker, Keller Williams

(503) 998-4868

Move over Donald Trump! You’ve just met your match Northwestern Style! Or so you’d think meeting Loren Castillo. Much like the young Donald Trump, Loren was very competitive at an early age excelling in High School Track and Field, and earning a black belt in Karate at age fifteen.

During college, he and a friend started Bliss Enterprizes, a Snow-Skate-Wake & Motor cross Apparel company, which later funded the purchase of his first home when it sold to a bigger fish all at the age of 22. Loren first became interested in Real Estate after reading, Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. While Kiyosaki awakened Loren to the world of Real Estate, and motivated him to become a more savvy investor, Loren did not foresee that his experience and natural entrepreneurial drive would lead him into Real Estate as a career.

Loren went on to work in sales for Harley Davidson, and run painting, pressure washing, and landscaping businesses before his bigger goals as an investor began to create a powerful pull toward Real Estate. Following in the footsteps of his dad, a laborer by trade, Loren believes that integrity, and a good work ethic have been the cornerstones of his success in his past business ventures, and these same values are what has made him a well-liked and respected Real Estate Consultant for more than two years.

Integrity, experience and motivation are words that describe Jason’s style as a real estate broker.

Born and raised in Oregon, Jason worked at Viking Freight Systems while he attended college at Western Oregon University. His employment at Viking gave him an appreciation of hard work and solid business operations. In 1998 he graduated from college and moved to Hawaii with his wife. He worked at Hawaii Electric Light Company (HELCO) and thoroughly enjoyed living in Hawaii. Hawaii will always hold a special place in his heart and he hopes to own real estate there someday.

While always interested in investing and entrepreneurship, Jason did not expect to become a real estate agent; but his interest in it peaked after purchasing his own home when he moved back to Oregon.
