Debbie and her team consider themselves a resource for the neighborhood and the right solution for their clients.

When developer John Carroll determined that residential lofts were the best use for the Chown Pella warehouse redevelopment in 1995, Debbie was pleased to be invited to develop the marketing and sales strategy for the project. Collaboration with John Carroll now includes Mckenzie Lofts (1997), The Gregory Lofts (2000), The Edge Lofts (2004), The Elizabeth (2005), The Eliot Tower (2006) all mixed-​use properties.

Meet the Business Owner

Debbie T.

Business Owner

Debbie Thomas started her downtown Portland-​based commercial brokerage company in 1992. Soon after, she saw a greater opportunity just north of Burnside in Portland’s Pearl District and in the Northwest neighborhood surrounding NW 23^rd Avenue. This put the company on the ground floor at the beginning of the boom in the Pearl.

Prior to founding the commercial and residential arm of DTRE, Debbie was Leasing and Marketing Director at Leavitt Shay Real Estate Services. She worked with her family’s development company in Florida before moving to Portland to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration at Lewis & Clark College.

Debbie has been a member on the Pearl District Neighborhood Association, Portland Building Owners and Managers Association, a member of Portland Metropolitan Residential Board of Realtors and the Commercial Association of Realtors. Her favorite charities include the Oregon Humane Society and Loaves and Fishes.
