Meet Gavynn

Gavynn Wells | Realtor Extraordinaire Here!

Bonjour!

I was born and raised in Paris, France; Then bounced around Europe for college and work. I finally crossed the pond and moved to the US in 2005. Portland felt like home instantly! I immediately fell in love with the vibrant food and coffee culture, the pedestrian streets packed with friendly people, the great outdoors available to us in the four cardinal directions and of course, the strong sense of community that seems weaved into everyone’s DNA in Cascadia.

Some kids want to be firefighters...

or cowboys when they grow up. Not I! I always wanted to be a Realtor! I remember it as if it was yesterday, my parents were looking for an investment property and we were visiting houses during weekends. Our realtor would take us from home to home and I was fascinated by the different styles, layouts and designs. Even at that young age I remember thinking:

_“This guy is so cool! He is showing us the houses and helping us find the right one, I want to do that one day!”

Since I got licensed in 2019, It has been an honor to accompany many people on their real estate journeys. Helping my fellow humans find a sanctuary to rest their head, a nest to raise their family or a home base to achieve their life goals, and everything in between brings me deep joy and pride. There is nothing I would rather do than be a residential realtor in Portland, Oregon.

During my time as a realtor, I have been awarded multiple sales/production awards, as well as obtained certificates relating to Fair Housing Practices, Diversity & Inclusion, Getting your home market ready, Buying and Selling in challenging market conditions, and many other topics.

More importantly, with close guidance from mentors with multi-decade years of experience in the Portland market, I have developed deep expertise in how to navigate ever changing market conditions, ensuring top-dollar sales for my sell-side clients and competitive offer writing for buy-side ones.

All of that being said, my absolute favorite part of it all is the lifelong friendships I have built with my client-friends! Real estate for me is about continued relationships that extend far beyond the transaction.

Outside of work

I love spending time with my friends and community. I live on the boundary of FOPO and Mt Scott-Arleta; and I love checking in with local businesses and community centers, tapping into the strong neighborhood feel that this area of SE Portland has to offer. I stay active by studying the gentle art of Jiu-Jitsu, walking my dog Seamus around Mt Scott Park, and escaping to the incredible nature that surrounds our city. Travel has always been a big part of my life and I believe it has made me a better person and realtor. Being able to understand and experience other cultures, traditions, needs and wants allows me to connect with people and their nuances better, which is key to offering a white-glove, custom tailored approach to my clients.

Always happy to help!

I look forward to helping my fellow Portlander with their home purchase or home sale! Whether you are a first time home buyer looking to get on the property ladder, looking to upsize/downsize to a new home or looking to sell your current home; feel free to contact me with any questions and I would be more than happy to help.

Merci beaucoup et a bientôt!
