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 has always been at the heart of my work. Since becoming a licensed real estate broker in 2012, I’ve had the privilege of guiding clients through successful transactions — whether listing and selling their home or purchasing a new property. I believe real estate is more than a transaction; it’s a relationship built on trust, communication, and advocacy. When clients say, “I know you have my back,” and “You really listen to me,” that means everything to me. Those aren’t just professional skills — they’re personal values that define how I do business.
I have served as Mid-Columbia Association of REALTORS® Treasurer since 2021 and have been actively involved on the Education Committee and Finance Committee. In 2024, I was honored to be named the MCAR Realtor of the Year, a recognition that reflects my commitment not only to my clients, but also to my profession and community I am also actively serving on the Community Outreach Polar Plunge for the Special Olympics Committee — a cause close to my heart and one that reflects my dedication to giving back.
As a fourth-generation Columbia Gorge resident, my roots here run deep. My husband and I have spent our lives in the rural communities of the Gorge, raising our two sons and building our lives here. Farming, 4-H, and rodeo were important parts of our upbringing and young adult years, shaping our work ethic, values, and strong sense of community. Our connection to this area isn’t just geographic — it’s generational.
In 1995, we founded our construction company, specializing in excavation, infrastructure development, and residential building. Working alongside my husband has given me firsthand experience in property development, quality building practices, and a strong understanding of state and local building and land-use regulations. This background allows me to offer clients valuable insight beyond the traditional real estate perspective.
Whether you’re curious about today’s market or ready to make a move, I’m here to provide knowledgeable guidance, steady support, and exceptional service. It is an honor to serve my clients, my profession, and the community I’m proud to call home.
