About Cara
What sets me apart? I truly listen. Whether you're searching for your dream home or ready to sell, I focus on your unique goals and tailor my approach to meet your needs. From strategic marketing to skilled negotiations, I’m here to guide you through a smooth and successful real estate experience.
I was born and raised in Portland and have lived in neighborhoods across the city—from Kenton and Northeast Portland to downtown and now St. Johns, where I’m raising my daughter. These life experiences have given me deep insight into the character and charm of Portland’s diverse communities, and I love helping clients find the right fit for their lifestyle.
Before real estate, I spent 20 years in hospitality management, where I honed my skills in customer service, communication, and leadership. That background now allows me to connect with clients on a personal level and deliver a high standard of service throughout the home buying or selling journey.
My passion for real estate started early—tagging along with my grandmother, a Portland realtor, to broker tours was one of the highlights of my childhood. When the pandemic pushed me to reevaluate my path, I decided it was time to turn that lifelong passion into a career.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me enjoying time with family and friends, playing cards, exploring the outdoors, and soaking up the best of Portland life.
I’d love to help you with your next move. Let’s connect and make your real estate goals a reality!

We recently used Cara to buy a house in North Portland, and we feel so lucky our friend recommended her! Cara was endlessly patient, available, knowledgeable, and so much more easygoing and less pretentious than every other agent we’ve worked with. Cara has such a talent for walking into a space and imagining its potential. Her ideas are creative and practical, and her guidance really opened up many more possibilities for us in such a competitive market. She gave such great expert advice that landed us in a house that checked all our boxes in a fantastic location below market selling price. Cara continued to be available as we began house projects and moved in, available at every turn for us to lean on. We are so grateful for her! 10/10!

My husband and I loved working with Cara! She has extensive knowledge of the local market and was able to answer every question we had about buying and selling. She consistently found homes we were interested in and always made time to show them to us. Cara not only help us buy our home, but she helped us sell our condo. The process went seamlessly. I cannot recommended Cara enough! She is very personable and easy to talk to, so if you're looking for an agent give her a call.

I recently purchased my first home and was so lucky to have Cara as my realtor! She was readily available to answer questions, show houses, crunch numbers, and most importantly - calm my nerves! Buying a home is a huge commitment and milestone, with that excitement comes fear and stress. Cara was patient, kind, and knowledgeable every step of the way. Thanks to Cara - we found a home that checked all the boxes, we came in under budget, and closed without even a hiccup! If you’re in the market to buy or sell, I highly recommend Cara Jamison as your realtor!
