Empowering Your Real Estate Journey with Chris Balmes Properties

In 2007, Chris Balmes PC, GRI, e-PRO, along with her daughter, Lisa Balmes PC, e-PRO, established Chris Balmes Properties LLC (CBP) to cater to the real estate needs of the vibrant Portland, Oregon metropolitan area.

Your Trusted Source Across Two States

At CBP, we take pride in having licensed Brokers/Agents operating seamlessly in both Oregon and Washington. This dual-state presence empowers us to scour the entire metropolitan area in search of your perfect home. Additionally, we are fortunate to have a bilingual Broker fluent in Spanish, ensuring that language is never a barrier to serving our diverse clientele.

Our seasoned CBP Brokers/Agents come armed with a wealth of experience encompassing a wide spectrum of real estate domains, including residential, short sales, REO properties, Fannie Mae HomePath properties, HUD properties, commercial real estate, corporate relocation services, rural residential properties, new construction projects, investment properties, foreclosures, multifamily units, and 1031 exchanges. This breadth of expertise equips us with unparalleled insights into the nuances of building, remodeling, and maintaining a home, fostering a holistic approach to real estate.
