Madeline Hollands

One key benefit Madeline’s lucky clients will take away from their interactions are her recommendations for local restaurants. “My absolute favorite thing is finding the hidden gems in the food scene. I love to eat my way around town. The walkability of the city is what makes me stay.” Customer service comes second nature to Madeline.

Prior career experience at Nordstrom (all about making the customer happy) and Alaska Airlines (a motto of “above and beyond”) has developed in her a mindset of excellent service that has carried over into real estate. An honest and genuine person who “will call it as it is”.

Madeline is also playful, with a knack for making people feel comfortable and lightening a situation when called for. “My strengths are understanding people and people pleasing, and my role at Opt goes hand-in-hand with both. Ultimately, I want to make people happy and walk away feeling like they had an extraordinary interaction. Being able to provide my clients with that experience against the backdrop of a life-changing event like buying a home is beyond rewarding.”

Madeline has two cats, Bean and Vinnie – both perfect, of course. Her parents still live in her NE Portland childhood home, and they are often her dining companions as she continues her search for the next best Mexican restaurant. She enjoys working out, reading, and neighborhood walks.
