Kari Montoya

My excitement for home building started in a very modern way - binge watching HGTV shows. I graduated from Portland State University in the Spring of 2018, and was honored to start my post-grad career with Adair Homes shortly after. It's a privilege to be a part of a team that cares endlessly about our customers, and helping them achieve their dream home goals. Outside of work, you can find me golfing, camping, reading, or spending time with friends and family.

A house without windows is…unheard of! We like to look outside. Natural light is an irreplaceable amenity in any home—along with a view. Whether you are looking across a meadow, the neighborhood park, or at a stand of budding cherry trees—the views from our windows are like art. No two are the same, but each adds to our comfort and place of home.

Our homes reflect who we are, what we’re interested in, what we do in our free time, and what inspires us. They are living testaments to our time.

The beauty of a new home is the ability to put your stamp on it from the very beginning so that every square inch perfectly suits your family.

Adair Homes is known for quality craftsmanship at a price you can afford throughout the Western United States.

As a result, Adair homeowners have realized more equity at closing than the typical new home buyer.
