Jorge was born in Southeast Washington and raised in the stunning Columbia River Gorge. After graduating high school, he attended Oregon State University before transferring to Portland State University, where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in 2012.

With a strong background in customer service, Jorge grew up working in his family’s restaurant in The Dalles, OR, where he held multiple roles—from dishwasher to bartender. This experience instilled in him a deep understanding of hard work, dedication, and the importance of putting customers first.

In 2012, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to open Double Berry Frozen Yogurt in The Dalles. As owner and manager, he gained valuable experience in business operations, financial management, and leadership, all of which laid a strong foundation for his career in real estate.

In 2015, Jorge transitioned into real estate, working alongside top agents in Portland. During this time, he gained extensive knowledge of the home buying and selling process while being mentored by an industry veteran with over 30 years of experience.

In 2017, he and his wife, Chelsea, returned to the Columbia River Gorge to raise their daughters and be part of the community they love. Now, as a dedicated real estate broker, Jorge is passionate about helping clients navigate the market and find the perfect place to call home. His deep local knowledge, business expertise, and commitment to exceptional service make him a trusted partner in every real estate transaction.

Whether buying, selling, or investing, Jorge is ready to guide clients through the process with integrity, professionalism, and a client-first approach.

Living in the Columbia Gorge all my life has been a wonderful experience, surrounded by all the natural beauty of the mountains, river and wildlife. My dad‘s family settled in Hood River in the 1930’s, I grew up on our family farm in the Hood River area.

My husband of 35 plus years and I moved to The Dalles in 1986. I am thankful to have most of my family living close, my son Casey and my parents are walking distance from my home.

My passion for real estate started in 2003 and since obtaining my license the time has flown by (good sign I’m still having fun).

I love helping people through the process of selling and buying real estate so much that I have expanded my education to better serve my clients.
I now have real estate designations obtained through continuing education including GRI, CRS, SRES and Epro.

My clients know that I am only a phone call away and I pride myself on responding to my clients requests promptly.

Client satisfaction is always my top priority. I joined the real estate industry as a licensed broker in 2012 and have enjoyed many successful transactions, helping my clients through the entire process of listing and selling their home, or purchasing a new property. My clients have said to me “I know you have my back” and “you really listen to me”. These are more than skills; they are personality traits that make me who I am.

I am a fourth-generation Columbia Gorge resident. My husband and I have lived in rural communities of the gorge our entire lives along with our two sons. As a family we have been fortunate to be involved in farming, 4-H and rodeo. We started a construction company in 1995, specializing in excavation, infrastructure development and residential building. Working alongside my husband in the construction business has provided me with a lot of experience in property development and good building practices, in addition to gaining knowledge about state and local building and land use codes.

If you would like to chat about today’s real estate market, I’m ready and look forward to more opportunities to serve my clients and my community with excellent customer service

Real estate and family have always been central to my life. I started in this industry just out of school, and when the opportunity came up to work with my sister, Becky Schertenleib, in starting our own company, it was the perfect nexus of both of my passions.

Born in the Gorge, I have a lifetime of experience in knowing the people, types of properties, and land in the area which makes me uniquely qualified to match client interests to available property.

Though I am mostly retired from "field" work the team at Columbia Gorge Real Estate can help with any of your real estate needs, clients will experience exceptional service, timely and relevant communications / updates, and proactive problem solving so the customer doesn‘t have to worry about the finer details. That’s what we do - we make this a painless experience so you can get into your dream property as easily as possible.
