Russ Porter

Before becoming a real estate broker in 2017, Russ was a financial analyst in the mutual fund industry and previously managed rental properties. He was drawn to becoming an agent by a love for architecture and helping others achieve their goals through homeownership. He is currently based out of the John L. Scott Bothell office and helps a variety of clients in cities including Bothell, Kenmore, Mill Creek, Kirkland, Lake Forest Park, Shoreline, Snohomish, and Everett.

For him, real estate is more than just finding a place to live. It is about understanding what is important to your family and lifestyle and serving as a guide well before the process starts and after the final closing needs to provide video updates and resources to his clients, allowing them to provide for their future.

When marketing a home, video has been a powerful tool for him to highlight the best features of a home. Also, it may sound corny, but Russ always bakes an apple pie during his open houses. He wants people to feel as though they are entering a home, not just a place to live. It is his goal to add those special touches to highlight a home for what it is: a place where memories will be made, and life will have meaning.
